Conservatives denounce GOP 'Pledge' as sellout, inside job
The Daily Caller ^ | 9/25/10 | Jon Ward

Posted on 09/26/2010 9:19:11 AM PDT by GOPavenger33

House Republicans have been relatively successful this week at presenting a united front around their “Pledge to America,” but only through a strategic outreach campaign to lawmakers, media and outside groups, that has managed to keep deep dissatisfaction over several key issues largely under wraps.

Still, interviews with Republican aides reveal that many in the GOP caucus are unhappy that there was no earmark ban and no promise to pass a balanced budget amendment in the proposal, which was unveiled Thursday by House Minority Leader John Boehner. The inclusion of a health insurance provision considered to be mandate angered many conservative lawmakers.

Actually this would be the start of my "rant" and it was soon followed up and defended by the both of you... if you can't handle the heat don't make the post.

MNJohnnie - The ONLY viable option we have right now is the GOP. Anyone busy trying to undermine the GOP right now is actively working for the 0 Democrats.

So anyone including fellow Conservatives that do not agree with the GOPs actions and/or with your stands defending them are working for the Obama and the Democrats... Yeah, good way to start a debate and hold fellow conservatives together. Keep on trying maybe you'll get it to stick one day.

I think that our minority leaders in Congress and the Senate are both RINOs, (Boehner and McConnell). If they are elected leaders for this next Congress, nothing will change or at least it will be minimal when we need drastic changes.

We need real change!

“Republican lip service”, now that’s an expression I like, and it is “real,” unlike what GA Jimmuh said of the “energy crisis.”

So many Republican primary voters are just so uninformed that they think an “R” cures all, like the 19th century patients of traveling salesmen peddling elixirs.

Av, you just made an accusation against me using a quote of MNJohnnie (that I don't happen to agree with), and you didn't ping him to it.

It seems you want to make trouble and not debate what is actually being said and deal honestly with the posters who are saying it.

Next time you want to call people names, try to get your facts straight. Thinking is an attribute of conservatism that you might want to consider in the future.

The thread poster is a post and run troll.
Nothing like tossing a turd in the punchbowl, or throwing a grenade in the forum then running to DemUn and giggling about disruption accomplished.

Yes, I've read all 155 posts. The thread is about certain FR posters saying not supporting the RNC is a vote for the democrats. Clue up before posting.....

Do you dispute that the thread poster has not said a word since posting the thread?

Who gives a rat's butt. I come here to discuss articles, many of which I disagree with. If the poster is a troll, so what?
