We let our enemies define us by going along with the name RedState. We let the enemedia tag us with that name. Prior to 2000, the left was always RED!
Its the GOPe I'm really p*ssed at... they abandoned the parapets, threw the bolt off the gate and then turned on the people who had hired them to make a principled stand.
Rodents.
The GOP defined itself by nominating a man who stood for everything that they are against, from romneycare, to abortion, to gay marriage and guns, even down to the details of despising Reagan and conservatism in general, and being an actual cult leader in an anti-Christian cult.
A man who having left the republican party during the Reagan era, came to support, fund raise, and vote for democrats.
A man who snubbed 2008’s veep, the tea party, and social conservatism when he restated his support for homosexuals in the military, homosexual Scout leaders, and came out against the pro-life party platform, a man who actually spent the years of his presidential campaigning, trying to create the myth of Reagan having been “adamantly pro-choice”
The Republicans defined themselves.
Good article. Thanks for posting.
One can’t help but wonder if there are merely two aspects to a single party - the Ruling/Government/Washington Party: with the one sub-party nominally different so as to act as a foil for the other and to corruptly throw the fight for the other.
Both ultimately favor big government, progressivism at slightly different rates, and handing over our sovereignty to globalists. Both favor Marxism to varying degrees. Both trample on the Constitution. Neither are our friend, and in fact both have now declared us enemies.
Madison’s grand experiment is over without another revolution. Everything else is merely sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Just as the Japanese could not fail Pearl harbor on December 7, 1941, today’s democrats cannot fail America. The GOP, however, is like Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel - asleep on the job and failing the people of our country.

The purpose of government is to increase government.
That’s their bottom line.
Hence, not a damn dime’s worth of difference between Republicans and Rats.
The republican party is DEAD.....

I listened to a bit of yesterdays Mark Levin show. Many GOP state governors are fighting the Obama care implementation of healthcare exchanges in their states. The first thing Boehner does after being reelected, is run to the press to declare he is giving up on fighting Obama care. He must attend the same parties as Roberts..
Erick Erickson can blame republicans all he wants too. But the truth of the matter, imo, is that voters aren’t taking the responsibility to know basic constitutonal law, particularly the Founder’s division of federal and state powers evidenced by the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I, Article V and the 10th Amendment.
In fact, the Progressive Movement agenda to unconstitutionally centralize government power in DC probably wouldn’t have made the strides that it has if it weren’t for the inadvertent support of the Progressive Movement by Constitution-impaired voters imo.
They don't want to change their massage. They threw their lot in with the libs at least six years ago. We do not have a two party system.
I read what most are saying and I agree that the Repubs have lost their way. I would like to know if any of you have a candidate in mind? I think it is crucial that we come together with a man who would be able to carry the conservative banner and, most importantly, have the support of the good people in our Country? Is there anyone who believes we cannot ever win again, I don’t but I believe we must begin to find the right person and fully support him - starting now!
the democrats, more so. but in general, yes.
This is why I became a registered Conservative. There is very little difference between the RATS and the RINOs.
Eric, Eric, Eric...Spellcheck is not your friend.
A fruit is called for, not a trade.
The Nation has failed the Republicans, who, whatever they may be, aren’t Marxists like Obama and his gang.

this is part of the plan....
plant a few phoney conservatives in media to belittle the pubs at every chance...
the rats have controlled the Senate for what now?....at least 6 yrs....we haven't had a budget in the last 3....they control the White house, the Senate and the media....
yeah, but its the pubs fault.....
I agree that we lack strong charismatic leadership at the top but the people I like who could demand a little attention keep getting knocked off by the rinos or the purists....I don't know who I dislike more...
>> We let our enemies define us by
There’s also a problem with blaming the “Republicans”. It’s the self-serving RINO establishment that’s failed the Republican Party.
It’s important we differentiate the “establishment” from the Republican constituency. We can’t have an amorphous collection of citizens too ashamed to be associated with the Republican name because of insider abuse. We need solidarity, and we must expel the RINO rot that has stained Reagan Republicanism. We begin locally.
The trust of the article is correct.
