Who's conservative principles? The traditional GOP principles, or yours?
You are not going to rewrite GOP history on my watch. These principles you espouse are social conservative crap that comes from one single faction in the party who are late comers to the dance.
What is happening, is a refutation of of those ideas that you brought with you, and notification that they will not be the issues we will be debating this cycle.
You can reject, accept or just go away. Nobody cares or gives a damn what you do from here on.
That is the message.
Hear it.
The RINO recipe for electoral success. Tell pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-God conservatives to go to hell.
Fact is, it's your attitude, one that is held by far too many Republican "leaders" and party hacks, that has brought us to the current pass.
As if there's a difference. Pro-life, pro-liberty, pro-family, pro-constitutionally bounded and defined governance. It's really not as complicated as you'd like folks to think it is.
