This just doesn’t do it for me. I would rather participate in an ALL OUT effort to identify supposed Conservative politicians(easy: just ask them how they feel about Ted Cruz or the Tea Party)....and THEN find true Conservatives to run against them and make sure these backstabbing RINOs are primaried.
The GOP-E abandoned Cooch....We’re on our own folks.
You really want to spend all your time and effort fighting Republicans/conservatives who aren't pure enough? With that logic we'd never elect people like Rudy Giuliani because you'd be too busy supporting candidates that were more pure but completely unelectable in NYC.
Didn't we just learn a lesson from the silly nomination of EW Jackson? The guy meets the purity test but was unelectable and a drag on the ticket.
At some point we have focus fire on the greater evil here. This endless war whining about the GOPe won't get us anywhere. Reagan managed to overcome their reluctance to really move the party to the right without years of moaning about the "establishment". In fact, he struck a deal with them and put Bush Sr. on his ticket in order to unite the party. If we find, nominate and support good electable candidates there will be no need to endlessly complain about the "establishment".
To #8> As you speak, your wishes are happening. GOP Rinos are going to be purged from key positions and told to either join the real conservatives are get the hell out of Dodge.
The almost total lack of GOP money for Cuccinelli helped cost him the election to a nazi-like thug and a well-funded Democratic lock-step political propaganda and ground-pounding machine.
The real “money” people in the US, the hated “1 percenters” are actually the Democrats. They have more money than the Treasury and use it without hesitation or regard for costs.
When the GOP gets off its ass and realizes this, then they will become a viable organization again. Every Tea Party supporter I know is refusing to send the GOP one “red cent”.
As the national congressional races start in ernst real soon, the GOP is going to face an internal revolt which may make them a footnote in political history.
RINOs are being put on notice that they are going to end up on two lists: “The endangered species list” and the “Endangered feces list”.
If it takes a defection of the Tea Party movement from supporting some RINOS, even to the point of allowing the Democrats to win a few House seats, so be it. The GOP is either going to get with the program or get thrown out of the movement and a lot of cushy jobs with undeserved high salaries are going to disappear.
If the Tea Party Republicans withdraw from the GOP to become Independents, then the GOP will lose control of the House and Boner will finally be out of a job. Their only alternative to keeping power would be to keep the TP congressmen and women in the fold by sharing power and developing real aggressive political policies and tactics.
The GOP RINOS today are fighting like the Russian reserve forces sent into both Norway during WW2 and Afghanistan early in the war. Both got nearly wiped out by the resistance in each country.
It is time that they adopted real guerrilla warfare style tactics, striking selected targets, then pulling back until the next target comes along. Hit a major target with everything and everyone you’ve got.
Propaganda - forget information. Information didn’t do much for Cuccinelli against Communist-styled propaganda and disinformation, as well as plain old lies.
We need hard-hitting billboards, posters, slogans, CARTOONS, and columns, 24/7, in every media and medium possible.
Call Obama and his marxist minions “LIARS”, not people who “misspoke” (Megan Kelley, Bill O’Reilly, Charles Krauthammer, George Will). People understand “LIAR”, not “misspoken”.
Hammer this home to the public. Never let them go away or get away unchallenged. One sign can wreck their day, and I’m all for that.
Forget Christie. He’s not reliable or he would have been down here with Cuc and 2 dozen donuts. A great photo-op that could have made Cuccinelli the governor. But no, Christie stayed with the RINOS and sacrificed a brave fighter, just as William Wallace was sacrificed/betrayed by his supposed friends.
The key to all this is ORGANIZATION and ORGANIZING - pounding the streets with your message, even into, and esp. into, Democratic areas. Hit them where they live, with real information, facts, fliers, etc.
Obamacare is one of our greatest weapons to use against the Democrats. So is Benghazi, Fast & Furious, IRS scandal, etc. but most of the low-education Democrat voters know little or nothing about them, and definitely not in-depth.
That is what our job is, to provide them with in-depth information that affects them directly, and others indirectly.
It’s time to charge, not retreat, once we are organized and prepared. And time is running out.
