Palin could have beaten them if she decided to run.

She didn't run, none of us know why, but I'm taking what she said at face value. Between her and God and her family, it was no, it's that simple.

Those things were more important to her than the GOPe, and right now it's more important to her to get rid of the Marxist stain in the white hut than anything else politically. At the same time, we elect as many conservatives in the down races as possible.

When the time comes, right after November's election, we'll take on the GOPe once again, this is going to be a long battle:

1. Get rid of the Marxist stain.
2. Elect as many conservatives down race as possible.
3. Keep the heat back on the GOPe starting the day after the election.

That's her answer, and as usual it should be the answer of every conservative in the US.

God Bless you Eva. I had the honor of shaking hands and wishing good luck to both Mitt, Paul and their wives Ann and Janna this morning in Lakeland. They are going out there for those of us who really care about the future of this Republic. For all those that stand against us now I say, you will be defeated. Our victory will be historic with the Legislature, the Executive and God willing when Ginsburg leaves, the Judical. I thank God that even though our country has killed so many innocents since 1973 He still seems to give us a chance at redemption. The Civil wars will be fought in the State Capitals where we will see the Paulista and Code Pinksters join up again. Be prepared.

This was aimed at the Tea Party grassroots and Conservatives.

Agreed. With the advances we've made at the State level, the GOP/RINO insiders are quaking in their Italian patent leather loafers.

My own State went to Santorum in the primaries. I know, because I was one of those votes. We elected our delegates and off we went...

Or... You know... Not.

But there are enough people that are, and that’s the problem.



Totally agree, and it is what has been tearing this country apart for decades.. source? Media..

My father (A Nam vet) was warning me about this back in the '70s before I knew anything about politics or Republican/Democrat..
He told me about how we actually won VN, but Cronkite lost it for us... about how biased the Media had become... and how powerful..


So, this is a decades old problem, HOW can we fix it? (Internet has helped us get this far, but how far can we go to get the REAL history/politics) to the 'common' people? And How?


Honestly, the only way I know how to did in deeper, being that the 'common' people believe everything they see on the LSM, is by word of mouth... posters... shoving actual documents into their faces (not that they would take the time to read them.. getting lazy :\)..
What can we do? I am not sure, when the SHTF, and they start getting killed off 1-by-1 that they can even see or understand it then.. They obviously have no problem with burning books, TV, radio programs that are not aligning with their 'indoctrinations'...

BTW, I know that this isn't something you can answer... I think most of us are asking the same thing... how can we get them 'OFF OF STUPID' :^p

I am speaking more the alleged bus fiasco with Va delegates and if they were credentialed delegates that sucks. I have great respect for “process” little respect for disenfrancisement, whoever it happens to.

“My own State went to Santorum in the primaries.”

I would that MY state could claim even THAT much of an improvement.
[Welcome Comrade to the People’s Democratic Socialist Worker’s Paradise of Neuva York! Please enjoy our complimentary trampling of your stated rights that we hold are granted and removed or replaced with other so-called rights by fiat of the politburo..]

I recall that event as well.
The RNC is looking to really infuriate people with this.

The left will continue to push for all encompasing power over all media types, broadcast or internet.
SOPA was just the tip of the iceberg as was probably installed anyway by Skippy the Echolocating Wonderbat through dictatorial fiat, just like lots of other things he’s done.

How to combat it?
The truth, no matter how costly.
The RNC refuses to address it as they are afraid to be seen as ‘grumpy stodgy frumpy old men’.

They specifically represent a blow to the Tea Party and the Ron Paul insurgency

So at the same time they fight opportunistic infections, they also prevent beneficial mutations. This is written the form of a chiasm.

Don't worry ... continue posting ...

the Mitt-Botts only have a single response for criticism of the "Celestial God-Child from Planet Kolob" ...

and the "truth" doesn't matter ...



Only getting Myth Romney (proclaimed by Patton@Bastogne on NBC News as a Pathological Political Liar) elected President matters ...


to make his Daddy and his Spiritual Savior (Mormon False-Prophet Joseph Smith) proud ...

The silver lining is that we are screwed no matter who wins the election since there is not a human solution to our- or the world’s - current situation. So when Romney fails those of us still alive can create something new.

I’m not really joking here. As much as I hate what Obama stands for, I don’t think Reagan himself could get us out of this mess. Everybody has been on hold, hoping for something positive to come from this election. But when it’s over, everyone is going to open their eyes from the dream and see where they and we are.

Oh, baloney! They had to do it to stop the Ron Paul loons who had said for months they were going to exploit the rules and take over the convention. All these Tea Party people (who aren’t Paul Libertarians) need to back down and realize what almost happened if the rules hadn’t been changed.

That’s baloney, there weren’t enough Paul delegates to actually accomplish anything and they had the Paul delegates already under control. What they did is long term.

Nonsense. You have no idea what you're talking about. The RNC had no reason to curtail the Tea Partyers who weren't Paul delegates. Unfortunately, they couldn't go public and explain why they were changing the rules.

MSNBC was reporting and encouraging the blow by blow all day, with Paul delegates whining to them on air. Paul had his delegates convinced they could take over the convention and they started demonstrating and disrupting in the hall. It was disgusting.

Actually the Paulites were the more creative part of the stogy GOP gathering. Too bad the shallow thinkers in the dying GOP did not try to include these freedom advocates into the big GOP umbrella currently trying to capture 3rd world Hispanics, Blacks that vote D, McCain’s Freedom Fighting Al Quedians and assorted azzhat consultants like the Rovian Turdblossam that actually threaten murder of the occasional errant R candidates....that’s a fine crowd they got corralled into their bankrupt littl gathering.

You do realize we’re talking about the rule changes that will allow the RNC to frontload the primaries and the winning candidates to select delegates for future conventions and remove this from the state gop and the delegates elected to the state conventions or elected in some states by the ballot in the primary..

Yep. It was the paulbots. When they weren't giving passes to Code Pinko disrupters, they were trying to take over the convention.

It is so good that this is finally the last act for this wacko liberaltarian circus.

You are are complete f’ing moron.
You have been lowering the standards of FR threads for years.
The very fact you will disparage a full reposting without poster comment of a Dean Clancy article, is just another exemplary display of your totally clueless behavior on FR over your tenure here.

Get a freaking clue.

Do you know who Dean Clancy works for? Do you not understand where FreedomWorks developed out of in the past 4 years, and how it’s a bridge between grassroots activists and those cabals who oppose the foundational values of FR.

I don’t even like Armey and his Texas clique, but to call this article propaganda is the height of absurdity.

When conservatives are a majority of the Republican party they can change the rules to suit themselves.

When conservatives are a majority (or even close) of the party, I’ll rejoin it.


Well said. I can’t believe what the GOP-e has forced upon us w/ Willard. And no *we* did not pick him. Willard merely had more money and outlasted everyone. And lied about his oponents.

Willard makes me ill. I do NOT trust him. My only hope is that somehow, some way, he’s controlled by a R Congress. Didn’t work out so well under W...but perhaps w/ more conservatives w/ tea party philosophy...Willard can be held in check from his normal leanings. Which in my opinion...are way left.
