You just continue on with your diarrhea of the mouth, spouting insults and calling people you disagree with a RINO. That's all you seem capable of. Even on this thread you've added nothing of value to the debate.
By the way, the Republican Party is not going to be destroyed. Overall, the party is probably more conservative now than it has been in modern history - especially when compared to what it was in the 50's, 60's and 70's when it was fine with 70%+ tax rates, price controls, the creation of the EPA, etc. Though we've inflicted some grievous self inflicted wounds on ourselves with some bad nominees (ding bats like O'Donnell), overall we are still succeeding in pushing the party to the right on many issues. It takes time in a system like ours, but the idea that we'd give up now and go make yet another 3rd party is laughable (you already have your choice of about 50 3rd parties). Impatient people who have no grasp of political realities like you will continue predicting the end of the GOP, yet it will almost certainly remain the 2nd leg of our two party system for generations to come.
Excellent and thoughtful post, Longbow. It’s the GOP of the 50’s that sat idly by while FDR whittled the Constitution away. We needed the Soviets to keep our side clear.
We’re winning. We hold 30 governorships and look at the eledction map. We lost the Senate due to political incompetence on the part of the candidates. Obama and Co. are going too far. Unless we flub it we’ll take the Senate in 2014. The Dems are the party in trouble. How do they hold their coalition together?
Like so many of your posts to me, you seem to be posting to the wrong person, I don’t push third parties, don’t support a third party, don’t vote third party, and I know that conservatives have moved the party right in recent decades, it is something that I point out often on FR, one of my themes, and it happened in spite of people like you, that is why your constant efforts to stop conservative progress annoys so many of us.
Dingbats from the self destructing Senate incumbent Scott Brown, to presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the goofy, pro-abortion cult leader promoting the homosexual agenda, the rinos rejecting conservatives, rejecting the tea party, snubbing Christians and the conservative leader Governor Palin, and making Christie their convention speaker, the rinos are willing to lose elections to keep the party from being conservative.
I keep appealing to you to lay off for a while, wait until an election before you start attacking conservatives and the tea party, but your agenda drives you relentlessly.
You aren’t arguing with me about anything other than that you want to promote rinoism even when there is no race or candidate to demonize, that must be why you are trying to make up some fake persona to argue against, so that it doesn’t just sound totally like liberal trolling.
Your only argument against me on this thread, is that you want to fight for rinos unnamed, in an election that isn’t taking place anywhere yet, and against the tea party.
In other words, a chant of move left, moderate, don’t support the tea party, look for the rino in future elections.
