One would summize that you don't care about independents or our votes. This based on the way you just dismissed moderate Republicans from their own party. Turn your back on moderate Republicans, you would be throwing away about 10% of the vote. Conservatives are doing more to hurt themselves than anyone else. Read Founder's post, does she seem like the kind of person you would like to have a rational conversation with over coffee?
Conservatives remind me more and more of children who have to have everything their own way. They have not realized they are just not all that electorially significant.
I wish you radicals, or Tea Baggers, or whatever you are, would realize you have no power base any more, and would just go away so the rest of us can focus on cleaning-up the mess your savior George W. Bush made.
You are no Republican and I would bet have never voted GOP in your life.
You are a double agent which is a favorite Democrat trick, a Trojan Horse, and Wolf in Sheep's clothing. Your advice is worthless. We are doing just fine without you, and will continue to do better and better the more we pay no attention to voices like yours.
Every time we Republicans lean to the left we lose big time, and every time we bend far to the right we win. As a matter of fact Goldwater was really not Conservative enough which is why he lost.
Reagan on the other hand was relentlessly extreme far right and won constantly, and Bush won because he was perceived to be far right. Gingrich took over Congress because he was far right, and so on.
We TPs want to win elections and we know how to do it. Sarah was far right and beat both the Democrats and the Republicans in Alaska, and emerged with an 80% approval rating the highest of any governor in the nation.
We know what we are doing, and don't need any advice from types like you.
You are correct. As I stated, I am an independent, not Republican. My dear Mrs. Bond, I am not a double-agent. I have only voted in three Presidential elections, and I did vote for Arnie for Governor of California. Like most Americans I did not vote for the side-show the Republicans offered in 2008. And, so far I have not seen any Republican talent I like, unless Glenn Beck decides to run.
I think you might have it wrong about listening to voices other than mine, (like the ones in your head). WE are the people, you are a fringe group who has been put out to pasture. As an admitted Tea Partier/Bagger, you are making a wishful statement if you say you "win elections and we know how to do it." You have alienated your own party moderates as well as indys. You have no national leadership. In the 2008 election you changed your pitch every week. And, Republicans put an inexperienced nobody a heartbeat away from the Presidency. The Republican Party is an international joke.
It is clear to one and all that you don't know "... know what we are doing," or John McCain would be president. I am not giving you any advice, and if you are organizing some big political plan, you have your private USMB email. Remember, this is a message board, everyone expresses their views....etc....etc....
