The Conservative Cave

On the Monday night broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, Mark Levin warned the Republican party will split unless RNC chairman Reince Priebus and House Speaker John Boehner are thrown out.
MARK LEVIN: The autopsy report. They don't even know how to name a report. The autopsy report. Here's the deal, folks: Reince Priebus was ahead of the Republican National Committee when Romney lost. Why hasn't he been fired? Why hasn't he been fired? Karl Rove ran the biggest independent PAC in America, or one of them. He won 1.3% of his races. Why do people keep promoting him? On TV, donors, and so forth. These losers are not going to save the Republican party.

LEVIN: A year ago, a poll was done, it's not every year, except this year so far, and I believe it's Gallup, the political ideology of the American people. 'While 47% of Americans continue to describe their views as conservative, 35% moderate, 21% liberal. For the third straight year, conservatives outnumber moderates, after more than a decade in which moderates mainly tied or outnumbered conservatives. I'm giving you this information for a reason.
February, 1, 2013, Gallup did another poll of the individual states. Which ideology outnumbers which ideology in the states? Conservatives outnumber liberals in 47 out of the 50 states. So what's the problem here? Well, the word conservative can be a little ambiguous. But what's the real problem here? If you're going into elections and your political party, where every survey and poll shows that Americans identify themselves more as conservatives than liberals, and you can't beat Barack Obama, what's the problem here?
The problem is execution. The problem is your being outworked, you're being outsmarted. The problem is you're not standing on "conservative principles." You're not believable. You're not an alternative to Obama. You're not an alternative to Pelosi and Reid. Less and less people view you that way. I mean, I'm amazed by this. When we look at the last thirty years, who was the most successful Republican president electorally? Ronald Reagan. Of course the times have changed, but the principles haven't. Just apply them, wisely.

The split has already happened. I'm part of it, as are millions of other conservatives.

We need to organize somehow and drive a stake through the Rockefeller (Bush/McCain/Dole/Romney/Priebus/Barbour/Boehner/Rubio/Crist/Graham/Cantor) Republican Party while providing a clear alternative.

I am all for that but first it has to be on a local and state level. Gaining a majority of conservatives in the House and Senate would do the trick. Then take over the national Repub party. Starting from the top down will not work IMO. Just about everyone of the RINO's you mentioned above will hang on to their position of power as if their life depended on it.

The GOP is going to go the way of the Whigs.
You can't have a country that is majority anti big government and two parties are are pro big government.

I for one am getting damn tied of marking an "R" for the republican when it really means the RINO in the race.

Work to get him replaced, my good man. I don't think the good people of South Carolina need gay Lindsey sullying their good name any longer.

I'm doing my best to get him replaced with a true conservative. Jim DeMint needs to find us one and get the ball rolling.

He would be the right man to do it.

That POS Senator from LA, Mary Landrieu, is up for reelection next year. Sorry bitch would not answer my letters or emails before Obamacare was voted on. She hid out and as far as I know did not have any town hall meeting. She squeezed by the last time but her support of Obamacare and her support of Obama policies are going to do her in. The oil industry will pump a lot of money into her opponent campaign to get rid of her. The state has lost a lot of oil related jobs because of the idiot in the W.H.

I'll agree with that. People ask me, and I tell them I'm a CONSERVATIVE, not a Republican.
Note the difference.

Johnny, are you in Tim Scott's old district? The one Sanford is running in? I lived there until last year and am still very interested in that race. Larry Grooms would have been my choice.

No, I'm not. I'm in the old John Spratt district that Mick Mulvaney represents now.
First republican to represent this district since 1883.

ETA: Mick had to win almost 80% of the white votes to win against the democrat John Spratt....now you can call me racist for pointing that out.

I remember meeting some folks in Spratt's district, he wasn't liked :rofl:

But there were enough blacks and old democrats that did like him to keep getting him reelected.
