you call conservatives "irrational" yet you want to spend us into oblivion. 14 tril and counting. get a grip.
The main reason I am not a Democrat is because I think they are irresponsible with money, Liberty.
An open letter to conservatives | AmericanDad's Blog
Wonderful piece by "American Dad" as to the hijacking of the GOP by the loons. Please read the entire thing.
You wanted to know specifics.
One, it's not an open letter, it's full of links, so it starts off lying. Why should I assume there is much truth after that?
Can't fathom you thought we would take this utter bullshit seriously.
I dun know why you'd be annoyed at the links. Would it have been better to make unsubstantiated criticisms?
I'm a Republican -- have been since like 1985.
I can't imagine anyone would be dumb enough to buy what you're selling here Maddie.
she is a republican.
And is one of the people that caused me to leave the GOP. It became far to libral.
And yet you describe as a "wonderful piece" that which advocates government take more control then what's already full nelson control over banking, health care and energy? At some point wouldn't a "Republican" such as yourself who thinks government needs to stop expanding think that since the only solution ever tried in those three areas, ever escalating government intervention, maybe isn't the solution? Maybe the solution is different then the one we keep trying and fails and we need to try something different then more of the endlessly failed solution?What do you like about the Republican party? Be specific.
My choice of party has always been dictated more by state and local politics than the national scene, but in general, I find GOPers are/were more restrained in spending, favored little or no government expansion, were friendlier to business, were more concerned with public safety, etc. Since these are my priorities as well, the party makes/made sense to me.
I like Democrats, but I am no fan of "spend now, pay later".
I can't imagine anyone would be dumb enough to buy what you're selling here Maddie.

Oh what bullshit. You mean to say that she represents the GOP which is why you left? After the tea party brought the GOP to a landslide victory by steering it more conservative in last November's elections? That's divide and conquer bullshit to split the right wing, and I think you're a liberal operative, just like she is. I've never heard so much bullshit in all my life. It worked in 2008. It will never work again. Everyone is on to it.
"Maddie - the rabidly pro-abortion, race-card-playing pro-obama supporter represents the current brand of Republicans". Jesus Christ, go shove it. What bullshit.

S'true, mani. I dun recall EVER being overrun by corporatists and racists as the GOP is now....it is forcing people like me to choose between hate and over-spending.
The Far Right aka Religious Right aka Koch Brothers regime is not palatable to me, nor to the maintsream GOP voter. You will see a backlash in 2012 since the "jobs, jobs, jobs" agenda never came to pass -- but there's plenty of time to attack women's rights.

Now that has to be the funniest crap I will hear all week.
It was people like her that pulled the GOP to the left.
The death blow was Bush sending us all checks instead of putting it to the debt.
How'd that welfare for all work out?
A small suggestion; Get to know people before you make accusations publically. Unless you intend on getting a laugh. Cuz most that see this post will laugh at the idea that Ima lib.
Dear Conservative Americans,
The years have not been kind to you. I grew up in a profoundly Republican home, so I can remember when you wore a very different face than the one we see now. You've lost me and you've lost most of America. Because I believe having responsible choices is important to democracy, I'd like to give you some advice and an invitation.
First, the invitation: Come back to us.
Now the advice. You're going to have to come up with a platform that isn't built on a foundation of cowardice: fear of people with colors, religions, cultures and sex lives that differ from your own; fear of reform in banking, health care, energy; fantasy fears of America being transformed into an Islamic nation, into social/commun/fasc-ism, into a disarmed populace put in internment camps; and more. But you have work to do even before you take on that task.
Your party -- the GOP -- and the conservative end of the American political spectrum have become irresponsible and irrational. Worse, it's tolerating, promoting and celebrating prejudice and hatred. Let me provide some examples -- by no means an exhaustive list -- of where the Right as gotten itself stuck in a swamp of hypocrisy, hyperbole, historical inaccuracy and hatred.
If you're going to regain your stature as a party of rational, responsible people, you'll have to start by draining this swamp.

Sure lefties think like that. If the GOP voted like democrats we could all get along. We could sit around and sing kumbaya because we wouldn't have any jobs to go to.

Don't think so on the singing Kumbaya. Obama and Hillary had an intensely negative personal attack filled primary campaign. Two liberals who had the same position on every issue. Madeline says treating blacks like everyone else is racist. If we're all liberal and you try to be different you are attacked personally, and if you don't try to be different you're attacked personally.Sure lefties think like that. If the GOP voted like democrats we could all get along. We could sit around and sing kumbaya because we wouldn't have any jobs to go to.
that's it.

Well, you're not looking very hard. According to the article you're "extreme right" if you don't think government needs to be more involved in energy, healthcare and banking. I don't even think you're "right" at all if you think that. Then again, there were a bunch of non-specific ad hominem attacks on Republicans, not addressing that was "hypocrisy?" The "reality" is the only way the Right has moved Right is by not moving Left as fast as the Left has.Looking through the responses I'm seeing a whole lot of attacking the source and the OP. Not surprising in the least bit.

So, I challenge you. Here are ways the "right" has moved left. Just under W, just a few of the things the Republicans did were to grow government spending by every economic indicator (GDP growth, inflation, ...), added prescription drug to Social Security, signed campaign finance reform that regulated political speech, increased social security taxes, signed budgets with massive earmarks and awarded citizenship to criminals who entered this country illegally.
Now your turn, how have the Republicans moved to the "right?" Be specific.

Good article, thanks for posting! Hypocrisy is rampant with the extreme right who's unfortunately dominated the GOP lately. Many of the right-wing on this site make up those people but luckily they are not the majority, just the loudest. They are the true RINOs in the republican party.

In other words, the extreme right wing people are the true RINOs (Republican In name only) of the GOP?!?! Lose the avatar, Jesus can;t help intelligence like yours!

I'd think the lefties-Commies-Liberals should be MORE concerned with their Democrat party. I mean they are the ones who got a HISTORICAL ass kicking this last election.
Instead they be worried about the Gop. and NOW they are worried about draining the SWAMP.. how funny.
