Minnie Mouse, too?



Should we look for the "truth" from a fired reporter?

Perhaps you missed the revealing 5thEstate story.

Revelation
"By and large, the new leaders emerging in the party don't focus on narrowing ideology nearly as much as they focus on accomplishment."
She cited the 2004 Bush/Cheney campaign as a turning point; as Republicans of all stripes worked together to elect the top of the ticket, the effort "helped to knock down a lot of boundaries within the party."

"I think the Republican Committee of Lancaster County is learning some gratifying lessons," Moore said, "that it's more productive to focus your efforts on disarming your opponents than to eat your own young."
Translation: We have totally sold out and learned to be more concerned with gaining power and saying anything to win elections. We have given up any core beliefs as evidenced by coming together to elect a president who spends us into oblivion while violating our constitution as he takes away more and more of our freedom and liberty. We win more elections by smearing opponents even within our own party than we do by asking our candidates to address issues and apply even the most basic limited government solutions.
Directions: Ingest this bull---- 3 times daily until symptoms of thought disappear. Stare at the newspaper, party website, and your television when we will present our solid core principles for the coming election year after we decide what they currently are. We will try to keep these beliefs as well as our stances on specific issues as generic as possible, not only to assure us victory but also to absolve us of any accountability once elected.

(Disclaimer: Core principles, once decided, are subject to change without notice depending on the whims of those who get nominated as our candidates. Side effects may include dizzyness and nausea. If these symptoms occur ingest large quantities of kool-aid until blind and consult your party leadership. Offer void where prohibited by concience.)

Righto Blah!

Ask Moore if her site "Soundstoofamiliar" (she provided the pics) was promoting harmony. Only those who don't comply in lockstep get eaten?

Had more than 20% (a good part being the well oiled machine) participated in the primary we may have had real choices in the fall. As in "American Idol" the best talent isn't always chosen. Wheaton and Smithgall didn't kiss enough party fanny. The GOP shows no motivation to promote the best leaders, just the vetted yes-men.

Yep! The Republicans have learned well from the deceitful Democrat political machine. There isn't .10 cents worth of difference between the two partys. The ends justify the means ......
