Conservatives to 2016 GOP field: Defy us at your own peril
Associated Press ^ | Sep. 26, 2015 3:27 PM EDT | Steve Peoples and Jill Colvin

The Republican Party’s conservative wing, pumped up by House Speaker John Boehner’s stepping down, is warning the 2016 presidential candidates that defying its wishes will come at their peril.

Religious activists forcefully conveyed this message Saturday: embrace our uncompromising stance against abortion rights and gay marriage, among other priorities, even if doing so risks a federal government shutdown.

An emboldened conservative movement signals fresh trouble for White House candidates viewed by the party’s frustrated base as insufficiently committed to their cause. Chief among them is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

“Conservatives are on fire at the moment,” said Gary Bauer, a former president of the Family Research Council. He was among the featured speakers at the Values Voter annual conference that brought an estimated 2,000 evangelical activists to Washington this weekend. …

To the GOP:

Ignore us at your own peril.

Stop outsourcing, and bring back American jobs.

If not wanting to pay for or participate in is uncompromising, call me uncompromising.

We Republicans, conservatives, whatever you want to call us fought hard to get a Republican House and Senate and we expected those of you that we elected or re-elected to do the work you promised us that you would do...

Well you didn't...you ran your rich butts right back to ‘sewer city’ and plunked your fat butts right in the middle of obuma’s bidding...and you scoffed at us, the people that put you back there...you didn't think we would know what you were doing...

So now, Boehner is gone, good riddance, and McConnell your next...Arizona needs to deal with McCain before we do, Nevada with Reid, and Utah with Hatch, California has so many nannies they don't know what they are doing, now, tomorrow or 20 years from now...

But be assured those of you that come knocking for our votes this time, we aren't going to give them out as easy as before...

We, the fed up voters are not going to take the ‘norm’ anymore, your going to work for our votes, your going to be doing the work we sent you there to do, if you don't, don't come knocking...no one is home...

Yes, the two social issues dems use to raise the most money... AP was a news organization years ago - now they're a creepy part of the democrat party.

Jeb dropping out would be a show of good faith to Conservatives. The elite know we can’t stand him, and it’s just so in-our-face to try to manipulate the nomination for him.

Immigration should be the foremost issue on the mind of anyone who is a conservative in the upcoming election.

Absolutely. After a third-worlder population replacement, conservatism — and America — will be over.

Conservatism has three pillars, faith, freedom and opportunity.

They’re inextricably intertwined. Conservatives don’t believe in laissez faire, dog eat dog eat capitalism. We reject it as much as we reject Marxism.

We believe people with strong values are the bedrock of a civilized society, the family forms and transmits values to future generations, freedom without license is precious and all of us of have the God-given right to the pursuit of happiness in opportunity.

Al of this is the essence of the American Dream.

It’s against federal law to use taxpayer money to perform abortions, in case these Democrat reporters have forgotten that fact. Planned Parenthood execs are breaking the law and should not only be defunded but also indicted.

warning the 2016 presidential candidates that defying its wishes will come at their peril

********************************************
Same thing was said when they ran McAmnesty, they didn’t care if they lost, they just did not want anyone stopping the Cheap Labor Express.

They had ample reason to believe that Romneycare was not going to beat Obamacare for obvious reasons and they did not care. They just wanted to prevent us from electing anyone who would stop The Cheap Labor Express.

This time they want us to vote for ¡Yeb! The Joyful Amnesty Tortoise, knowing full well he will lose bigger than McCain and Romney. They don’t care, they just want to make sure we can’t stop the Cheap Labor Express.

AP, trying to present the idea that conservatism is only defined by 2 social issues......

This article is the biggest steaming load I've had the discomfort to read recently.

"embrace our uncompromising stance"
"Hard-line conservatives"
"women's health care provider Planned Parenthood"
"Republicans were largely blamed the last time government shutdown"

And my personal favorite:
"Olsen offered a message to his party's 2016 class: For Arlie Olsen, 64, who raises pigs in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, Boehner's departure was "a good omen for where the country may be headed."""

Now we know what the average hard line conservative does for a living.
