Republican Party is not an opposition party. It is rather, a party organized so as to make democrats look good.
Hmmmmm....maybe the Republican Establishment WANTED Cuccinelli to lose.
What really is shocking is that I do believe the republican establishment would rather lose than elect conservatives. What’s worse...commies wanting to take over America, or the people trying to empower them?
Support specific candidates and abandon the Republican leadership. They are disorganized and corrupt.
I’m an RNC Life Member and usually inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. NO MORE! From here on out conservative and Tea Party groups are all that will get my contributions. I’m waiting for the next RNC fundraising call to tell them what I’m going to do and why. I urge every other FReeper to do the same and go on a contribution strike against them and RINOs in general. Being from TN, I intend to do my best to defeat Alexander in the primary and elect Bob Carr. People from SC should do the same and flush Lindsey Graham.
Good take.
That says it all, and it is time we stop doing our part. These clowns seem to think it is their position to tell us who will run for office, and I for one, am sick and tired of candidates who talk conservative, but get into office and tell me I am too stupid to know what is good for me. That they have to "work together," which means democrats bring communism to the table and the Republicans give them socialism, and call it bipartisan. I know we can't get everything we want from every candidate, but when the party undermines its candidates because they don't meet the litmus test of spineless, it is time to fight. There is another post this morning in which Hatch blames the shut down on Cruz, and Lee. I mean, these guys are using the same talking points as the Democrats, and lying to us just as much.
Been doing that for at least 5 years now.
The Republican Party has too many principles in a nation where those can be bent or broken and the average voter is OK with that... The Democrats constantly break the rules, morals even cheat and lie. The voter shrugs their shoulders. The Republicans try and take the high road and get low blows from the opposition routinely with no defense.Losing these many battles on points..
May I also add the perfect storm for an opposing team is an opponent with fractures and divisions with that opposing team. A united Democrat Party vs the Divided in two GOP + the Libertarians is a formula the Democrats will slap around fo years to come.. Not until a united Republican Party can an election on a national scale be won.
But they aren’t taking the high road. they only want you to think that.
They are in the dirt rolling around with snakes, because they are also snakes.
Hmmmmm....maybe the Republican Establishment WANTED Cuccinelli to lose.
They “blue” it????? Although that does seem rather descriptive of the GOPe.
Maybe I’m an old fogey who is lost in the past, but I was raised on Joel Broyhill, an Alexandria that was a nice conservative place to live. But now....Gov. MacRat and the child beater congressman of my hometown. Virginia is circling the drain. One or two more elections like this, and we’ll be Maryland.
Maybe a new hashtag needs to get started: Potemkin Republicans, or Potemkin GOP. A GOPe which is closer to the leftist Rats than conservatives and would rather the Rats win than a conservative who they can’t control.
The Bull [sh*t] Moose Party is very happy. Teddy Roosevelt has finally accomplished the progressive, patrician takeover of the Republican Party he masterminded almost a hundred years ago.
Some nuggets from the Bull Moose Platform (1912):
NATIONAL HEALTH CARE
SOCIAL SECURITY
FEDERAL INCOME TAX
DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS
INHERITANCE TAX
Teddy and Obama would get along famously—at the “Hah-vudd Klub”. Think about this the next time an Establishment Republican disses the Tea Party.
The Dems and the GOP are just two wings of the same party.
“Im waiting for the next RNC fundraising call to tell them what Im going to do and why.”
Someone mentioned on another thread last night that the next time they receive a request in the mail from the RNC for a donation, they’re going to enclose tea bag and mail it back to them. I thought that was a great idea - - if enough people do it, maybe they’ll get the message.
Another FReeper said it would be a waste of a good tea bag. I say, use the tea bag, let it dry out and then mail it - -double duty for 1 tea bag :-)
Like it or not, single women, with or without children, of all races; are the most powerful demographic. Not because of number but because the are the swing vote that can be swayed.
This is what you get with delayed, or deferred marriage. The government becomes the “man”, and completes the household.
Either marriage rate increases again or Republicans adopt.
Defund the RNC.
