Presidential hopefuls Sen. Rand Paul, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Sen. Rick Santorum are in Iowa to deliver their prescriptions for how to unite the Republican Party. […]
It is Paul’s third trip to Iowa since the 2012 election. The Kentucky senator says the GOP should maintain its core message but make the party more attractive to black and Hispanic voters. …

Yup - so then what do we do?
There are only a handful (literally) of Repubs who are worth the powder to blow them to hell. The rest have flipped to the Big Govt. Oligarchy party along with the Dems. How much more evidence do we need? 70% in Boehner’s district voted to re-elect him - do you think he cares about this bad publicity? Nawww.
Jindal is the only one I would even consider out of that bunch.

Amen. No one has mentioned yet that Rand Paul endorsed Mitch McConnell in the Primary against Matt Bevin.
Some ‘Go Galt’, others seek to grow closer to the Lord Jesus Christ, still others continue to put their faith in the political system...I don’t see a single solution.
Yup - so then what do we do?

Well, you can start by considering....
New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez in 2016! Governor, Conservative, Female and Hispanic.
NO THANK YOU ...to any of these three.
I don’t want to unify with the Democrats
I want to re establish this as one nation under God, invisible and the moral compass the Founders believed in. Otherwise I am not voting for the leper with the most remaining fingers

Well this should be interesting.
I take it you’re not a sweater vest fan. Me neither. Rick Santorum is not presidential material.
I have heard good things about Martinez, but New Mexico sounds a bit out of control. Did the man from the real Mexico (Bill Richardson, that is) leave a big mess for her to clean up? The police have committed some really awful crimes IMO on shooting citizens - I don’t know what she can do, but should she do something?

Most of the talk of unity that’s going on the Iowa GOP today is empty.
It amounts to “let’s unify around unity.” And “you have to be part of the team.”
Which is as content-free as cotton candy.
The only true unity that will ever be gained is around truth and principle. The very things that I know very personally most of them don’t want to hear about, because to listen to that message, you have to reject the establishment that owns “the team.”
If its not Cruz or Perry I just can’t interested.
If any ‘unity’ prescription involved the Chamber of Crony Capitalism, count me out!
Question; who else brags about being progressives.?.
If you do not know.. you're probably a progressive..
Note; there is a lot of "good guy", "bad guy" going on in Washington D.C... and State Capitals.. and really.. local school boards..
CLUE: the good guys and bad guys are on THE SAME TEAM... Its a game, a gambit, a diversition.. for confusing FOOLS..
Conservatives need to negotiate with RINOs the way that Democrats do: “Let’s unite the party. Do what we want and everything we want, or go to hell.”
Since the Republican party leadership acts like the abused, co-dependent spouse of the Democrats, maybe what they need is for conservatives to abuse them as well.
While away, Jindal just let Common Core take full effect in LA.
That picture cannot be unseen, thanks.
Newt is that you?
It used to be considered rude to hijack a thread.
Newt isn’t much better then the 3 mentioned in the article.
And why the hell would we want a unified gop? If they’re unified, you can bet its for no good.
