As a Republican who attends the meetings and sees how things are done, the Republican Party is a grassroots organization, you just have to sign up and start actually working for your platform. The Republican party needs new blood, and new ideas, no old codgers need apply.
Everyone always likes to complain about the choices that the Republican Party makes, but no one wants to start working in the Republican Party this year 2009.. for the 2012 election. Most will wait til election year, and then complain. YOU HAVE TO START NOW!
You are to be commended for your work on the local level.
But the national GOP, its leadership, and its politicians do not see America through your eyes.
They just want you when they need you to get their flunkies in power.
Look at our national leaders in the GOP—they are a joke—in the House, the Senate, some of the governors, some of our Presidential candidates in the primaries—these people do not share conservative values. But they all are adept at manipulation of conservatives.
The Republican Party started when the Whigs would not stop the expansion of slavery into the newly created states and territories in the 1850s. The GOP started when principled men took a stand.
We have an electorate which considers Republicans to be totally evil, thanks to our feckless leadership over the last 15 years. We gave them the opportunity to do it right by working to give them the House, The Senate and the White House. And they managed to screw the whole thing up.
So now, we should fix them—again?
Let’s make a clean break, because the GOP will never, ever be the champion of conservative values.
To wit, notice the attempted destruction of Sarah Palin—which GOP leaders jumped to her defense? The silence was deafening, even McLoser’s lukewarm defense of her on Leno last night.Only conservatives protested-loudly- and Sarah is the GOP’s best hope for 2012.
The GOP can join our new conservative party when they see the light, if they ever do. But we will need to lead the way.
Saving the GOP is useless-they don’t think they need saving. They think we need to be “more inclusive”.
Yeah, we’ve seen how brilliant that move was.
