Yet another group that the gop has chosen to write off lets the RNC know how badly they've blown it, (and continue to blow it). They continue to play to a part of their delusional base and insist on marginalising their future voters. If this continues the gop will go the way of the Whigs...
This thread mentions Ron Paul,but the rules changed and replaced effect all future state GOP nominations of delegates.It is not a Ron Paul thread.The changes made at the RNC convention in short let the Republican national committee choose the presidential candidate,and then that candidate...

Delegates from Nevada tried to nominate Mr. Paul from the floor, submitting petitions from their own state as well as Minnesota, Maine, Iowa, Oregon, Alaska and the Virgin Islands. That should have done the trick: Rules...
Today is the big day. I've been prepping for this for the better part of a year. I've been a regional campaign organizer for Ron Paul, got myself and some other activists elected as a State Delegates, and then became delegate coordinator for my district. Its been a fun and busy journey. I'm...
Ron Paul delegates in Louisiana beat the Establishment at their own game. The state's Republican Convention was 62% favorable to Ron Paul, and that majority moved to replace the convention chairman, all within the confines of the party's rules.
This transfer of power was met with violence, as...
From this interview with Bob List (recently ousted Nevada Republican Chairman), I got the following points:
1) Ron Paul supporters took over the Nevada republican party by showing up to events and "... won it fair and square. Frankly the Romney people and the supporters of many other...
National Defense Authorization Act for 2012 S1867. 44 Senate republicans are in favor of a bill that will grant final absolute dictatorial power to the president.

Eastwood's a long time republican, (of the Eisenhower type, as he puts it) who says flat out that the republicrats have lost their way. Wonder if he thinks they can ever find the backbone to get back to their roots? My guess is no. They're happy with what they've become, and it's pitiful.

When Bush Jr was in power the republicans were doing OK, where government was concerned and the dems were seriously concerned about the size, scope and intrusions of .gov. Now that Obama is in power they've flip flopped their positions, according to a Gallup Poll. The dems are content with the...
Article cites a few different sources that point to the same thing. Repubs are seriously disappointed in the NRA and their backing of dem politicians in the November elections. From their monetary gifts to Harry Reid to the endorsements of a number of dems, some old school gun grabbers. All of...

FOXNews.com - Tea Party Going Mainstream? Polls Suggest Movement Gaining in Popularity
The GOP is a sinking ship. Unless they start bailing neocons, they'll be the "Tea Party"'s ross perot in 2012.
It's already beginning. The pullback from repealing Obamacare. Like roaches fleeing from the light the gop is already scattering and rethinking their strategy in their efforts to make sure they get re-elected. All talk, no action. That's today's gop.
