The Republican Party's time to choose

Hell there would probably only be about 15 people on here if you had to be an "elite trader" to post.

Good point. Current markets have eradicated a number of formerly "elite traders".
 
Quote from Hooti:

On this inauguration day, I guess a political comment is fitting.

My first vote was for Nixon’s 2nd term. Voted for Regan.
Bringing in the religious right, to my observation, moved my party to extremism and intolerance.

I watched Reaganomics get pushed way past how he said he presented it. I believe our current financial mess is the end result of that. Trickle down economics is in no way conservative fiscal policy.

About 20 years ago the idea government was the problem was accepted by Republicans and Democrats. I believe they accepted responsibility and have dealt with that. They’ve shrunk government actually to much I think, though a lot more efficiency is still needed.

I think right now that big business is the problem. It’s still spinning out a radical high jacking of conservative fiscal policy… by that I mean big business is making to much relative to, or at the cost of, having a viable middle class.

So while I hold to my original conservative Republican roots and principles, that is, why I became a Republican, I have for some years voted a straight Democratic ticket in protest of what has recently been called ’the party of the stupid’ by many in it’s own leadership! On my part that choice to vote Democrat made after going to the Republican meetings and being told literally to ‘shut up’… if I had any difference whatsoever of opinion with them.

That is not good politics. Loses my vote.
Just my personal version of the start of this thread, and why as a conservative you might consider being practical, and tolerant, not radical.

There are not going to get this until they get shellacked in 2014. That social crappola is getting them killed.
 
The GOP has been getting terrible advice for the last several years, imo.

It's pretty easy to see what is coming in the next 4 years.

The choice is to roll over and get steamrolled - or not.

its a mistake to make them aware of that.

wow... the left is really reading into a Vote in which Obama did worse than he did the first time. .How can anyone be sure of anything?

If I were the democrats... I would start cutting taxes and regulation and revive this economy...

They got lucky last time.

A republican with 999 plan will kick but if the economy does not improve.
America was screaming for a economic plan and Romney did not give it to them.
That is best take away.
 
Quote from wjk:

If a Reagan type candidate had run against Obama, would you have voted for him?

Other Obama voters feel free to answer. I'm genuinely curious.

Tom Coburn is a current republican I like.

Coming from the idiot who posted this 10 minutes ago
It's a representation of your childish cheering for any and all things democrat.

What's idiotic is your trolling, not me pointing it out kid.
