Dear “Conservatives” and “Establishment Republicans,”
I write today in the hope you all can get over whatever anger, distrust or bruised egos this primary season and political year has caused you. We on the right need to unite and send a message to progressives by unambiguously retaking the U.S. Senate in November.
We all have some problem with what’s happened so far. Someone we liked lost a primary. Someone we didn’t won. Some piece of legislation we hate passed; some other piece we liked did not. No one is completely happy, but we all know things can get much worse – and will if we don’t put aside what divides and do what we must for the cause of liberty.
The political right has a habit of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. This is exemplified by libertarians, and it’s the fast track to political irrelevancy.
Libertarians will hate that I’ve placed them on the right of the political spectrum, and indeed many of today’s libertarians indeed have no political home and are all over the map. Today, the term covers everything from the great Reason Magazine to big-government, socialized medicine-loving Bill Maher. The present day “libertarian” label can mean anything, so it means nothing.
But I’m not talking about those libertarians. I’m talking about the Ron Paul libertarians who were quite comfortable in a Republican Party with which they agreed on a majority of issues.
Back then, libertarians put aside their differences with conservatives and Republicans to work for the defeat of liberals and progressives. All three groups thrived, as did the nation. But now too many focus on the disagreements, the differences, and the scars that come with fighting for what we believe, win or lose.
Both sides have scars, but too many of us...

Either terribly misguided, or a troll. Sometimes it's hard to tell which.
No, you’re not. You’re looking for posts that validate your existing position, and are unwilling to change yourself.
Have you noticed “they” (all the GOPe shills) have been using the old arguements about us wanting a “perfect” candidate? It’s starting to look a lot like “the Race Card.”
Whenever the trolls start losing the argument on a thread, they revert back to the silly comments (like blowing smoke with a Sara Palin post) and the tired old cliches. I’ve seen it time and time again.

For awhile I’ve suspected some of them are paid to push the GOPe message.
Hey, just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean I’m wrong! ;-)
And replace him with backstabber McConnell? Great plan. Replace a DemocRAT with a DemocRAT enabler. One will enter the door, the other will hold the door for him, and stab anyone you try to call to come in and stop the DemocRAT. Either way you're going to lose all your valuables.
And why is “Rides_A_Red_Horse” such an energetic promoter of Dem control of Congress?
Or worse, is a GOPe paid operative? They’re all over here on FreeRepublic, polluting the threads.
Yep, it’s pretty obvious.
What's the difference? One party steals you blind and the other party holds their coat.
Sorry, that tired old argument doesn't work anymore.
Sometimes it's fun. You get to see what the latest FAXes from Reince are to his trolls.
Seriously though, Preibus has either been sending the "B" team or he just doesn't care any more. I think he's beginning to realize Freepers are a lost cause, based on the caliper of the trolls we've been getting.
What’s obvious is that you’re delusional.
You mean like McCain who famously said “we have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency?”
How about your buddies Corynyn and McConnel who colluded with the Demcoratic Party to steal the Mississippi Primary from McDaniel in favor of Cochran? I don't support traitors and backstabbers. In more sensible times Corynyn and McConnel would be tarred, feathered and ran out of the country.
You and your little GOPe cheersquad aren't getting much traction here. I support specific candidates who earn my loyalty. If that means the GOP dissolves like the American "Whig" party, so be it. Conservatives can survive without the GOP and we will build something viable. The GOP cannot survive without us.
Uh oh! Here come the insults and personal attacks! Clear sign of a troll...

It’s right up there with “The Race Card.”
How about it “Innovative,” won’t you call us “racists” just for old-time sakes?
I just don’t any more. Who would have thought that threads on FR would be reduced to a talk-to-the-neighborhood-leftist dialog?
The calls for “Group Think” and “Party Loyalty” is disturbing enough.
Ever see so many people watch a dog run away after it’s been kicked too much and yet blame the dog for not coming back?
Add to it the list of conservative committee chairs and members that Boehner purged in 2012.

I decided to ignore that particular member a long time ago.
Allen West, Ted Cruz, Chris McDaniel, Sarah Palin...the list keeps growing.

The GOPe demands “loyalty” from the dog they’ve beaten and starved for too many election cycles. The dog broke the chain, dug a hole under the fence and won’t respond to your calls.
Only a total idiot would blame the dog for not coming “home.”
