If you throw out the low and high, we end up with a 5 on the Rant-o-meter... ;)
If these folks REALLY want the GOP to disown Sarah Palin, to drive her and her followers from the party with a loud and final “Good Riddance” to us then that’s OK with me.
They do that and the RNC is as dead as the Whig party...

Many people involved may be leaving the party after the summer meetings going on in Boston this week.
If the rule changes made at the national convention are not reversed, there will be little reason for any grassroots members to stay.
Agreed!
We are in a culture war. Sides must be chosen, and frankly, I’d rather know who is on my side. Enough with the GOPe. I’m a lifetime Republican who will vote to primary out any Republican who dares raise their head against Sarah Palin’s brand of conservatism.
BTW, many states don’t have open primaries. For that reason alone, conservatives should retain their Republican affiliation in order to punish GOPe incumbents. Going independent in some states means it goes easier on them.
When establishment republicans, RINOs and psuedo-conservatives are spending their time denouncing conservatives they are not spending time denouncing Obama, Hillary and the socialist, racist, homosexual takeover of the country.
But most of them actually dislike conservatives more than they dislike democrats.
Conservatives want to kill the system that keeps establishment politicians and their friends fat and well fed.
Republicans and Democrats just fight over who will be first in line to slop at the trough and get first dibs at the taxpayers money.
This is why I get all my news from Free Republic!
It’s took a while for it to sink in, but I have finally come to the conclusion that the GOP is just as much a plantation as the Democrat Party is. The elites of both parties run both parties for the benefit of the party elites — and that is simply all there is to it.
One of the reasons the IRS thing is not gaining the sort of traction you would expect is because the GOP elites quietly support it. The last thing they want is for the Tea Party to coalesce into a genuine threat to their dominance — which would very well happen if a genuine Conservative?Libertarian alliance were to form an alternative third party.
Both sides remember what happened to the Whigs. They like things just fine the way they are now.
I stopped listening to “can’t we all just be reasonable” Medved a long time ago. I want to listen to someone who feeds my inner fire, not someone who smothers it with mush.
I expect this from Jennifer Rubin, but Michael Medved? I am starting to him and his snarky opinions.
We need a new party, one that voluntarily commits to term limits. Only one-termers can say, “No. Hell, no!. And don’t ask me again.” Incumbency is the root of all political evil—and RINOS.

THIS is very important! I would love to drop the Republican Party but would not be able to tell my congressman (Tom Reid) that I will vote against him in the primary(if there is one). I will give him one more chance to get it right with the upcoming immigration vote or I will get local Republicans to vote against him. He will not only loose this small city he will loose the Republican vote in this small city in an election.
It's more informative than the same test given to Democrats, who, after all, can claim ignorance.
