RNC quietly moving to squash non-establishment candidates in POTUS primaries
You mean those railroading of rules in Tampa had consequences?? Nawwwwwwww you don't say.


Quote:One proposal being weighed by the RNC members would involve sanctioning a small handful of debates while penalizing candidates who participate in any nonsanctioned GOP debate by stripping them of one-third of their delegates to the national convention.

RE: RNC quietly moving to squash non-establishment candidates in POTUS primaries
I'm not happy about this. We need a 6 month long 'clown car' primary where it forces all GOP candidates to the far right and they spend a billion debates reinforcing the idea that the GOP candidates are all a bunch of lunatics to the American people.

If Christie is the Republican nominee I'll be voting for Hillary. I will not hold my nose to vote for another establishment candidate.

Pretty much... This is why the RNC never gets a dime from me, despite all the mailers.

Oh, they got through the process, but they were so banged up by the time they finished with it (and they were financially damaged too) that it made harder for them to pivot back towards the American electorate.

Yes, because Obama is the exact same thing. 01-wingedeagle

Yep no difference - Obamacare, habitual lying, totalitarianism and Benghazi be damned.

You might have had something on McCain on ObamaCare. But Romney is the godfather of Obamacare. So no, no difference there whatsoever.

Nah, you just drink the kool aid too much and treat politics too much like a team sport. Libertarians are driven by principle. You are driven by a collection of issues -- which have ideological and morally conflicting implications -- and above all a hatred of "the other guys".

It does not tell you anything because you have been programmed ignore it...not because it is not true. Stop blaming your failures on others. Own them Okie. The GOP has not offered Libertarians anything to vote for lately. When it does...Ill support them. It is not complicated.

By making it very hard to get an edge. By constantly attacking the GOP and aligning themselves with the liberal media's attack on the GOP. By diluting the vote. I honestly don't see much difference between the common libertarians and liberals. They kind of remind me of anarcho socialists with their attitude on entities like the police. Other than that, I don't see much of the fiscal savings but a whole lot of the social liberalism.+


We are at war with liberalism. That will only escalate. At some point the libertarians are going to have to choose. The GOP is the only weapon we have against liberalism - and libertarians promote much of the liberal agenda.

You've been praising Obamacare since October and actually signed up for it. Need I say more?

I say you are a pretender.

What fiscal responsibility? A govt tax program on legal drugs and a weak military?
