BURNIN' DOWN THE TENT!!!
Do we want action? Yes, we do!!!
Are we willing to take a giant step forward and create a central action site that allows us to see at a glance every single state’s candidates for national office, House and Senate, to separate the wheat from the chaff? That is our hope. We want to spend our money, our time, and our votes wisely. Our time is JUST as valuable as the money we spend.
The goal is to take back and take over the GOP, or move it out of the way, and elect conservatives to every office we can affect whether the RNC likes it or not.
To do this, we need a clearinghouse and a plan of action that encompasses all 50 states in ONE place. That place is Free Republic. THIS is where we nationalize the 2010 election cycle and choose where our money and our time is spent. The genius of Free Republic is that it already has the 50 state message boards. We don’t have to “google” our way through hundreds of candidates in individual states to find out who is who doing what. It’s already here, just not out in the public eye. This will change that.
I, and others, have repeatedly asked Freepers to present workable ideas with this goal in mind, and there have been many, but the two I am going to post here are comprehensive, have been well thought out over a long period of time, and the magic of it is that it has never been tried before...and THAT is precisely why it will work.
Freeper blueyon, (the originator of RINO FREE AMERICA PROJECT on FaceBook,) and I have worked on the idea to have each state message board create individual STATE BY STATE threads on the forum which presents information ONLY about their national congressional candidates.
We need their candidates’ names, pictures, platforms, voting records, (if applicable,) backgrounds, opinions, newslinks, statements, and whatever other information might be available including links to candidate’s’ websites if they exist.
The state message boards are full of much of this information and no one knows local politics like the locals. It’s time to make local politics national, and here is where we do it. Fifty states, fifty threads, ALL politics will be Free Republic Local politics.
Freepers have the best researchers in the business. We need that right here, right now if we are going to burn down the RINO tent and do it effectively. They will NOT be allowed to silence us again.
Those threads will be information only. Conservative candidates will be flagged and RINOs will be tagged. Anyone who wishes to debate or discuss individual candidates can start a separate thread for that here, AND/OR on the RINO FREE discussion board on FaceBook as well.
I expect these threads to become lengthy, so be sure to add the state and candidate's name as keywords.
The SECOND part of this plan is a NATIONAL strategy for accomplishing our goal once we have singled out the candidates we choose to support and gather THOSE candidates on to ONE thread. It is our intent to coordinate efforts with the National Tea Party Movement and have them link to our information as well as share whatever info they might have that we don’t...although I find that next to impossible knowing Freepers. There just might be tidbits of inside information we might not have access to, so contributions from outside Freeperdom will be researched by us FOR us and we will do well not to post rumor or inuendo if we have no proof.
The National Action plan is the sole hard work of a longtime Freeper who has asked to remain anonymous. It is his work and since he first sent it to me, he has updated it several times for the better. I neither take, nor deserve, any credit for it whatsover, and only on that basis did I accept the invitation to present it as I saw fit.
I have opted to make only the smallest changes to his ideas as they seem to me to be the stepstones of the future. However he did specifically ask that any constructive criticisms or additional ideas be sought and wants it known that this is a foundation we can build on. He has added reasons, including some from Scripture, for these ideas which are included in the body of information presented below. Many of you will find them relevant. Those who don’t will still find the ideas themselves worth your time. I am awed by the effort put forth here which is why I have left it pretty much in tact with minimal edits. I think you will be as well.
With that said, and without further adieu, continue on and see what ideas suit you best.
Well now, THAT presents SOMEONE a quandary, now doesn’t it?
Which of you has been lied to by this upstanding fellow conservative? And how does he/she prove it? I dunno.
I am surprised to see the Site-endorsed, Rino-Free america project being so obviously supportive of a pro-abortion candidate. Not one who was pro-abortion before but not professes to be pro-life, but one who has pro-abortion language on his issues page.
Oh, I’m happy about it, because it shows that for all the bluster, we are still pragmatic enough to realise that a good republican in Mass. is a lot different than a good republican in Texas.
Oh, I’m NOT happy that he is pro-abortion. And I really wish we had a candidate who was pro-life running and doing as well. But you take what you can get. And it’s great to see that the reality of Mass. and the importance of having people on our side can trump the single-issue, anti-RINO push.
I might well be able to support this movement after all. I hate liberal republicans being elected where we could elect good conservatives, almost as much as I hate republicans being led by leadership more interested in getting campaign donations than acting according to principle.
There may be hope for us yet.
Reagan built a big tent, hopefully we won’t burn THAT one down.
We’ll need a big tent to bring in all the people we convince about conservative values and principles.
I find it hard to bring people to your side if you are always trying to drive them away.
theocracy - government by priests or by religious law
And you guys have the nerve to make fun of Catholics! :-)
I’m well aware of what a theocracy is. The Mormons tried to establish one in Utah and the federal government put an end to it. We will do the same thing with Islam.
Do you propose we ignore the Constitution? Are you suggesting anarchy and a return to lynch mobs and such? Do you want to burn down their mosques because Muzzies in a foreign country did it to someone there? Are we to be as primitive and wrong? Should we ignore our basic principles?
I agree we have a threat. I disagree with your rants. I live within 50 miles of a bunch of the Imams' friends. I keep my Bic handy for my cigars.
I am doing something every day, DJ. I speak to the guy in charge...
MM, I rest my case. Time to start a new thread, maybe.
30 cities and counting. I’d call that a foothold.
Then I guess that DJ needs to provide a link to the post where P-M claimed to be a woman.
The Mormons had an entire state.
You get as many and as much as you can get. But you don’t get as much as you can get without giving them a reason to NOT go against the core values of the party. They have been taking us for granted for years. If we don’t demand better, and put up or shut up, we will never get back to the roots of conservatism or out from under the corruption. That is the goal. We want to move the goalposts back where they were so they are NOT democrats in republican clothing and hopefully far less corrupt.
As I see it, that’s a good thing.
My 2 sentence posts to you weren’t rants. I asked questions to which you have no answers.
Do you have a “ping” list? I want to be on it!
Bookmarked!
The muslims are entrenched in several.
Where are the answers to the questions I asked in post #358?
Then be specific, WHAT do you propose we do?
Go away and play with somebody easily fooled...
And the jackass thing?
When I accuse someone of something they did not do, I apologize. You have done it to me twice on this thread. Two strikes.
You can’t tell the difference between a form of government and a religion. We have no basic understanding.
