Didn’t this clown vote for Obama?
No one suggested you vote for Rinos/Progressives.
The dummies laugh when they hear the “I’m going to support the the flavor of the month third party.
The Repub party broke from the Dummies,but Lincoln had a much smaller establishment to deal with in the action.
The Tea Party does NOT have a Lincoln or Reagan Yet.
If the Tea Party makes a break BEFORE the movement has established it’s bonafides, it is doomed and we have no chance to make the moves neccessary to restore the Constitution.
The Republican Party has not been co-oped by the dummies.
The Republican electorate, has for the last 40 years bought the idea that no american would really want to destroy the republic.
Well guess what while we were being lazy, the radicals were busy taking over the Dummie Party, Colleges/Univ.,Government.
There is never going to be a simple ONE election solution to this very dangerous turn of events.
In fighting will only serve goals of the Dummies.
I hope that the CPAC org. paid attention to WHO was attending.
It seemed different this year.
You know that the Dummies are taking lessons from the Nixon Playbook.
Nixon had operatives attend Dem events and disrupt the proceedings.
WAKE TF Up.
Some of us remember the iconic and now lexiconic, Dick Tuck.
yitbos
Yep thought nothing could be worse than that mess.
But boy was I wrong.
What is going on now is the REAL danger to our REPUBLIC.
And remember Hillary wanted to by pass the Constitution and put Nixon in Jail immediately.
So we know what kind of respect SHE has for the Republic. NONE
Is he the one that called and canceled a scheduled campaign meeting.
The candidate showed up and no one was there to great him?
seem to remember some classic shennigans by him.
Yep the guy has been around all the liberal wine parties too much. He has forgotton where he came from. Sigh..... I saw him on c-span at some book event at a swankey home full of mostly liberals and I knew then his mind had been changed. He tried so hard to fit in( you could see it as he mingled by his body language) and now he went and fell over the edge. I have news for him. He is just another plaything of the left. I think they are called useful idiots behind their backs as the rich and liberal hiss behind their champainge glasses with a glee in their eye.
I'm not surprised he left. He really does belong on the other side of the aisle, with his cohorts, the "Liberal" Democrats (or the "Progessives", as they like to be called). Yeah, progressively Totalitarian.
However, he's going to sit on the fence for awhile, and pretend to be an Independent, when all of his beliefs scream "Democrat".
Wish we could purge all the rest of the left-leaning Republicans. That's why a 3rd party is necessary. We need to form a new Conservative party. We will never have the momentum that we do now. It would be foolish to waste it. Are there any Conservative leaders who can grab the bull by the horns and start a new party?
Does he not realize the Dems are run by the religious left. He needs to read a book on theological liberalism.
<<< I think he was offended that anyone thought someone his age hadn’t already registered. >>>
Now why would he think that.
Clearly they have instituted some kind of law where they are now required to ask.
Driver’s license people really don’t have that much to do.
don’t let the door hit your A$$ on the way out 0bama supporter.
Your logic is specious, your grasp of the facts is flawed and your language is atrocious.
But lets take your response a point at a time:
1. People like you regularly and predictably complain that people like me are “one issue” voters. You think I should vote RINO to keep the demrat out or simply to support the RINO GOP candidate. Conservatives, by definition are multi-issue voters. But our core values are rooted in the Constitution.
2. Don’t have a clue what your second point is about. But it supports my point that our American political system is flexible enough to spawn new political entities when necessary. Nothing in the Constitution requires a Demrat or Republican Party.
3. The Tea Party Movement will provide the energy to get a Constitutionalist presidential candidate in the running.
4. The Tea Paty movement has already established its bonafides. These include smaller federal gov’t, opposition to state funded abortion, lower taxes, enforcement of immigration laws, Onadacare opposition and opposition to “Cap and Trade”. The Tea Party Movement was the primary force behind the recent elections in Va, NJ, NY and Mass. The GOP was its typically RINO self.
5. To argue that the GOP has not been coopted by the Demrats is ludicrous. By definition RINOs are demrats.
6. To argue that the demrat left has not coopted media, education, unions, religion, Wall Street and the GOP is to have no clue how a Marxist usurped the Presidency. And it looks like the Left, via RINOs, has now coopted CPAC.
I suspect you’re a Ron Paulbot. The man has no chance despite his ability to grab a headline now and then. And the fact that you apparently believe his best chance for the Presidency is through the GOP tells me all I need to know.
Tea Party Memebers aren’t going to make the same ole mistakes.
Been there done that.
Your irrational screed (making assumptions) remind me of Dums. It you can’t deal with facts, personally attack the opposing viewpoint.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Like the electoral college?
Sorry, not the same. My vote for the electoral college has already been expressed in my vote in my state's general election for the presidency.
Closed/party primaries exclude my vote.
My, my. Apparantly I hit a nerve. Oh, and were you threatening me with the “word to the wise” nonsense?
Not really.
I dismiss personal attracks as mindless.
No, they don't because you can still vote, as an unaffiliated voter, for all the nonpartisan offices that are also on the ballot like Judges, school board members and other officials. It's for this purpose that tax dollars can be and are used.
Sorry, but if there's a ballot on a tax-funded voting machine, then any voter should be able to vote for any item (or person) on it. Using tax dollars for the purposes of political parties is unacceptable. Let the parties pay for their own processes.
...I don’t really have a problem with the parties paying for their share of the costs, it’s just not been the American tradition, and what would a few more lines of printing cost anyway? I think the president ought not use Air Force one for transportation to and from partisan speeches or political events, but there’s no real way around it and it’s done all the time. As a practical matter you CAN vote on any item. As a unaffiliated voter in most states, as in Washington State, you can request either a Republican or Democrat ballot and vote in either party’s election. It doesn’t make you a party member.
And just suppose that for one office I feel the better man is Democrat, and for another office the better man is Republican??
Nope, no deal. If it's a taxpayer funded election, any voter should be able to vote for any office, and not by forced party preference. It's called "a matter of principle". Tax dollars should NOT be used to support political party activities of any sort. The "closed/party primary" is taxation without representation, and nothing else.
