2016 Republicans use Trump, TV to make debate cut
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Rick Perry is attacking Donald Trump’s credibility and branding the billionaire businessman “a cancer on conservatism.” Rick Santorum, a conservative stalwart, popped up on a TV program popular with liberals. Lindsey Graham set his cellphone on fire.
With the first debate of the Republican presidential campaign approaching, the White House hopefuls are trying everything they can to improve their polling position. A candidate needs to place in the top 10 in an average of national polls to meet the criteria Fox News Channel has set to take the stage Aug. 6 in Cleveland. Full Story Here
Let me make one thing perfectly clear, I am NOT a Democrat or a Liberal, I DO however read many of their stories and peruse their sites, I have to. You see, a wise man once said, *Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.”
That said; The Daily Kos is a Left Wing sewer, populated by the nastiest Libtard RATs you could ever imagine, but they DO have one redeeming quality, they give us a good look into the mindset of the Democratic Party and the DNC. As such, I gather a good bit of usable information from their site. It’s a shame that the strategists at the GOP/RNC can’t seem to do likewise.
What follows is an OLD piece from The Daily Kos, from 2008, and if you were to remove the word Democratic from this little tirade and replace it with Republican or Conservative, you would see an accurate description of the GOP/RNC and most members of the Party at this very point in time.
Let’s Fight the Rightwing Bastards, Not Each Other
I am becoming increasingly dismayed with the tone of the Democratic primary campaign. Charges of racism are being hurled. Charges of corruption are being hurled. And the insults flying back and forth on DKos between supporters of the various Democratic candidates have been sickening and depressing. Well, I don’t think I’m alone among the 147,000+ members of the site in saying: ENOUGH! Have we forgotten who our political enemies really are?
The GOP/RNC have forgotten who our enemy truly is, or they are totally in *ignore mode* and denial because the accusations that have been made about the GOP having become the Democratic Party as the Democrats move into full-blown Marxism are 100% true and accurate.
The GOP/RNC made us all kinds of promises about how critical it was to have our support so they could hold the House and retake the Senate. We gave them that support and what did we get in return? Very damned little my friends, VERY damned little.
The GOP in Washington is populated by the biggest bunch of gutless RINOs this country has ever seen. Republicans In Name Only, that’s all they are, save a very small handful of REAL Republicans and/or Conservatives.
Names are called, a very childish tactic, personal information is released, seriously juvenile stunts are pulled in order to garner TV time and a sound bite on the evening news and it’s all done in the name of *countering* what was done by someone else. There is not much Conservatism seen in the candidates and the few that speak the truth, the ones that SAY what others only think and are afraid to say are castigated by the mainstream GOP/RNC crowd.
Donald Trump may not be a GOP candidate when the time to vote rolls around, he may have been relegated to a 3rd Party ticket and I know exactly what some are going to say, “Trump on a 3rd Party ticket is a guaranteed win for the Dems because it will split the vote and weaken the GOP.” That may be so, but do you suppose having a weak-sister type from the GOP in the White House would do anything to correct the issues brought on by Barack Hussein Obama?
We all have our own opinions and I’m sure that we’ll all vote for the one we like.
Find me one damned GOP candidate that is a true Conservative and I’ll support them instead. The ones running don’t have a Conservative bone in their bodies and are each and every one scared out of their minds by Donald Trump. THAT is one reason I like him and Ted Cruz so much; they make the GOP shit themselves.
And think about this; in the last 2 elections we ALL did what we were told to do; held our noses as we voted GOP to *keep the Party together and not split the vote*.
So tell me; how’d that work out for us?
Obama is still POTUS and I still feel like one dumb SOB for supporting McCain and Romney. This time, win or lose, I will be able to hold my head up and look real men in the eye as I enter MY vote for the candidate of MY choice and not the one that I was told to vote for.
Also, think about this too; if the GOP/RNC does again what they seem to have done in the last 2 elections, foist off the weakest, no-win candidate you can imagine, a Romney and McCain scenario, the GOP/RNC is going to lose again and could very well see lot of solid Conservatives rethink their prior votes for the Senate and House as well.
Texas has one really great Conservative Senator, Ted Cruz, and one that’s as big a RINO as it gets, John Cornyn.
My Congressman talked a great game after we got him the 1st time. We didn’t elect him to get him, he was given to us by a redistricting plan, one that very few of us wanted to see in our district.
Turns out Pete Sessions is just another RINO, following the herd led by John Boehner.
I have had it with RINOs and lying politicians, I tend to expect a degree of decency and honesty from a candidate, and the mainstream candidates do NOT have that trait in their DNA.
I am to the point that I honestly believe that it doesn’t matter WHO is in the White House, the Senate, the Congress or sitting on the SCOTUS. What we want doesn’t matter to them and they are, almost to a man, going to do what it is that THEY want and to HELL with the constituency.
Couldn’t agree more with your last paragraph! “They” (R’s, D’s and RINO’s) DISGUST ME!!!!
Quite a show going on, thanks to Trump. It’s too early for me to pick the man I think can repair the damage caused by Obama.
Personally, I don’t think Trump is the man to do it. I like Cruz for breaking Reagan’s 11th commandment this week by bringing down McConnell. It tells me just how fucked up the Republican Party is at the moment.
Lying is in vogue in Washington. There has to be at least one politician left in this country with integrity.
Then again, maybe not.
O, and by the way. Clinton is a non-issue. If Trey Goudy gets to finish his work, that bitch will be in jail by election day.
Problem is the Republican leadership won’t back Gowdy. If they did, she would have been before the committee a long time ago and would have had her server confiscated by US Marshals.
GOP too busy infighting to put the REAL enemy in jail…
On the committee are six fellow Republicans who appear to be doing nothing.
Then we have Obama and Boehner’s boy Elijah Cummings(D) blocking what he can.
I think Gowdy can and will get to the bottom of it.
That really baffeled me too. Why the big delay? You would think she had some kind of influence the way things are panning out.
For years I bought into the GOP’s mantra of “voting for a 3d party candidate is bad”, but now that I realize destroying the GOP and gaining a 3d party that is reflective of the people would have been a good thing. My problem now is that at this time in our Country we can’t afford to have a spineless leadership nor one that will not start disassembling this inane bureaucracy and return to Constitutional government.
My sentiments exactly. I don’t give a fig if the person I vote for is a space alien from some random planet I’ve never even heard of. I’m DONE toeing the RINO line.
If the aging dinosaurs that lead the GOP were honest brokers, they would have had three smaller debates with debate contestants picked at random. And, then match up those who had real traction and important messages for another series of debates. Thus, airing out ideas and politicians to the maximum extent possible.
I am happy to see you get on the “no vote wasted” bandstand. We need such as yourself. Thanks. The last paragraph speaks volumes to our dilemma. Who said it, Fred, “follow the money, follow the power”?
The PTBs may be a little nervous, but not much. As long as there is fraud in voting (on both sides), refusal to speak to issues, arrogance of position and a lying heart we have our battle set before us. Good thing about it all is that it is Biblical.
Get ON the bandwagon? Apparently you haven’t been a long-time reader of this blog… I have been on *the bandwagon* for close to 12 years now, to the point that at one time it caused some trepidation among a few of my hard-core GOP friends… Seems that after all that time they have finally come aroud regarding RINOs and the *lesser of the evils*…
And now we have Ted Cruz and Cornyn going after each other. What do you think Fred?
I believe Cornyn is making noise to defend the GOP, nothing more… Cruz could very easily be the Sr. Senator from Texas if he doesn’t make it to the White House, but if someone of his, or Trump’s veracity, and with a strong dedication to Conservatism doesn’t get to the White House this time around then it won’t matter too much one way or the other… One more Liberal POTUS and this nation is done for… One more RINO, weak-assed GOP POTUS and we’re done for…
I can see the prediction of an end run around congress to surrender our soverignty to the U.N. I read about this in The August Forecast and Review a few years ago. The Trilateral Commission and The Council on Foreign Relations are not pro American organisations. I used to dismiss their stated goals as conspiracy theories. Are they coming true? The progressives have moved so far left that we in the center right look very far right. I refuse to give in to this bullshit. Screw the KOS too. Bunch of communists.
