Cool - let’s start the new party with an open borders nut as our leader.

What could possibly go wrong with that? :)

On the other hand let us start with such stalwart conservatives as:
Alan West
Joe Miller
Doug Hoffman
Sharron Angle
Christine O’Donell
Ken Buck
JD Hayworth
George Allen
Richard Mourdock
Todd Akin

Rubio is about as “conservative” as John Boehner. Forget the GOP.

Re: “No Republican who acquiesces on the budget or immigration will be eligible to lead the party in the future.”

Rubio is already promoting the “Republican” DREAM Act.

Give him a few more weeks, he'll cave on the budget, too.

Because it appears in the New Yorker.

Oh, and because it’s about Marco Rubio, that UN loving, photo op loving, honey trap naive, stupid poopey head who is about as conservative as Romney.

I was thinking the latter. I don’t care what the New Yorker thinks.

Give up. You are trying to talk sense to people who actively promoted an arch liberal as the GOP standard bearer and called anyone who disagreed ‘traitors to their country’.

In other words, the willfully ignorant (to put it nicely).

Let’s start the list of rinos with Mitt Romney losing the presidency , in an election that republicans couldn’t lose.

I guess you prefer Crist over Rubio, and Trey Grayson over Paul, Arlen Specter over Toomey and wanted Dewhurst in Texas instead of Ted Cruz, and support the party leadership when they come out against the republican primary winners in Senate races, as they did with Miller, Odonnell, Akin, and others.

Conservatives made 2010 a history making victory, and in 2012 as the rinos were destroying the party with the failed Massachusetts governor, Palin gave us Ted Cruz and Deb Fischer.

When I see a conservative do conservative things, then I might give a ****.

Until such time, I do not give a ****.

I haven’t seen Marco Rubio do anything at all.

So you agree that opening the borders and letting everyone and anyone who wants in is a “conservative value” eh?

No wonder we have Obama in office....

Rubio is absolutely eligible to be President.
You have absolutely no legal authority on your side, none at all.
It is crackpot foolishness to say that Rubio is not eligible.
He might not be your favorite, but he has as much right to run for President as anyone on Free Republic.
Rubio is a Natural Born Citizen, which means only that he was a citizen at the exact moment of his birth.
It is very ignorant to claim otherwise.

Two Words—Sarah Palin. She must lead us! The revolt can only come from proven conservatives. I say its time for a Movement to form—It may take over the bones of the GOP or strike out with a new Party—NOW is the time for this! If Sarah said, leave the Republicans and join another party—I would do it. Now is the time for a re-vitalized Tea Party—The Liberty Party—a new Sons of Liberty! People need to be burned in effegie! New protest songs need to be written, a new Newspaper/Magazine started NOW! New symbols made-—Instead of the Rattlesnake flag—we use the flag of the Whiskey Rebellion—or the Bonnie Blue. The time for talk is almost done.

“Two Words—Sarah Palin.”

She would be a great choice/leader.

The problem is that until actual conservatives who follow the actual ideals of conservatism get rid of all the GOP sycophants and ‘he she it is conservative cuz I say so’ types, there is no chance of ANYONE leading the collective ‘us’.

This very thread shows several examples of the exact type I mean.

Right now, this is a one-party nation. The good old GOP, may they RIP! They will never get my support again. One month out of the election and they’re already jockeying for positions. The red state governors with balanced state budgets would be a good place to start putting together a base. Let’s get tough and not pay New York and California’s bills!
