Maybe I’m too optimistic, but I don’t think the Tea Party will countenance a McCain-clone in 2012. If the RNC thinks we are angry now—or if they don’t bother to think about it at all—just wait and see what happens if they try that stunt again. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The candidate in 2012 had better, by hook or by crook, be a conservative, or the Republican Party will have an insurrection on its hands.
I think the single biggest change we need to make is to insist on more even-handedness in the debate format. For as long as I can remember, all the presidential debates have been moderated by far left ideologues. This has got to stop. If the RNC won’t insist on a 50/50 split between liberal and conservative moderators, then the candidate plus the Tea Party must. Too much is at stake to allow the moonbats free rein for another cycle.
Imagine the Left agreeing to four debates all moderated by Tea Party activists. Can’t do it, can you? Then why do we do the equivalent? It’s gone on for too long; it’s past time to level the playing field.
can anyone please point me to the article which states the Secret Service arrested the Latino man and still has him under detention.
thanks
You are SO RIGHT! Imagine them agreeing to conservatives moderating debates. Liberals would be screaming and throwing televisions out of their windows.
The shock of reality would drive them to their beloved bottles of Xantac! They wouldn’t be able to handle it.
But the moderators come from the alphabet networks, which again is why I say we must get the networks to start being more fair. The MSM must be held accountable.
If I had any say in the TEA party at all, I would suggest a serious boycott on the sponsors of the MSM until they started delivering accurate and fair news. Dumped people like Matthews, Maddow, Olberman and even crap shows like the cackling hens on the view. People actually watch and believe their lies and that is bad.
As far as the RNC putting up a viable candidate. I think that they have been under the misunderstanding that because democrats still win elections that they have to be more “mainstream” to them that translates to leaning left.
If they would only grow a pair and drop ideology that separates us on a national level (like abortion) leave that to state levels. Just be pro gun, pro balanced budget, pro defense, infrastructure and then clamp down on wasteful government spending. Cut back on all the useless departments that have done nothing but make a bigger mess. Start deregulation on business so it can run without government interference and prosper. They would sweep the presidency, Senate and retain congress in record numbers.
They damn well better not misinterpret what has been said in November now. They better know that we want a conservative government, screw leaning left. I think that other than the MSM being a target, we need to keep Boehners feet to the fire. But IMO, he was a great choice for the speaker.
All he has said can be summed up in “for the people, of the people and by the people. One nation under god” and I am good with that.
Throw Bachmann in there for a VP spot or even the Presidential spot and I will be a very happy guy.
