Big Tent – Bold Differences.


We conservatives are constantly being told by the mainstream media that “Republicans will suffer in the upcoming elections because they are not inclusive enough.” That we do not want to include the “more moderate Republican.” I say to those pundits, who always seem to show such concern for Republican welfare — You’re dead wrong.

During his acceptance speech in 1984, President Reagan said, “Four years ago we raised a banner of bold colors—no pale pastels. We proclaimed a dream of an America that would be “a shining city on a hill.”

We need to continue to show the bold differences that produced victories in Virginia and New Jersey, but we need to do this by welcoming Independents and Reagan Democrats to our point-of-view. We need to convince them that smaller government, lower taxes and personal responsibly leads to a strong nation and a heathy economy.

The race in New York – 23, shows that we have put the GOP on notice. Conservatives are strong, vocal and active and we will no longer accept a RINO to represent our values.

The country is standing on the edge of cliff, looking down. We, as a nation, are wondering wether to jump into the socialist abyss or to back-up and regain our footing. It is no secret that I hope we take a step back, take a deep breath and regain our footing.

The United States of America has a lot of life left, and freedom-loving peoples everywhere are hoping we get it right. We will if we raise a banner of bold colors.

NOT the 'big tent' for conservatives, just yet..

mrwolf Wednesday, November 4th at 11:58AM EST (link)

Last night, I finally got a good look at what ‘Conservatives’ will be up against in the upcoming elections. Anyone

who thinks the Party Machine GOP is accepting what is going on is deluded.

I signed up for a call for Sen Demint’s SenateConservatives.com to discuss candidates that are CONSERVATIVE and wish

to run to un-seat either Dems or ‘squishy’ R(INOS) in districts across the country. I am a campaign advisor to the

ONLY real CONSERVATIVE running for Senate here in Colorado, and we were NOT allowed to even participate.

The conf. call’s attendant came on, asked me what my question/concern was, and then I was never called upon to address

the call. I know, for a fact, there were at least 13 callers on the conf. call for my candidate, but NONE were

allowed to address the call.

The call ONLY permitted TWO Senate candidates- Norton, and Buck, here in CO. NEITHER are true CONSERVATIVES in the

‘mold’ that Sen Demint’s site is looking for (at least, outwardly).

3 lies were told on the call:

–After a poll, 78% voted for Buck, ZERO voted for Norton, and 22% were ‘other or undecided’ (my only option) IF ONLY

ONE PERSON voted for Norton, she would have had a percentage.

–They had a poll on positions of various concern to Conservatives. SEVERAL came up ’100%’ in one direction or

another, EVEN THOUGH several people voted the opposite way.

–At the end of the call, they announced that ’100% of the attendees would like another call similar to this one’,

again, even though MANY on the call voted NO (just to skew the results and prove the call was a sham)

I am EXTREMELY disillusioned by this- and I am of the mind that the GOP party is running scared, and trying to ‘join

in’ on the disappointment that people feel for their performance in DC under the Obama-ites.

We are going to find out who’s behind this, and fight them every step of the way.

This is disgusting. Its politics, but, IF YOU HAVE NO INTEGRITY, YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS HANDLING MY MONEY (RE: BEING IN

POLITICS AND HANDLING MY TAXES)

Keep up the good work, and let me know if I can do anything to help. My background is advertising and marketing and I am reaching out to help other conservatives across the country.

A commenter said: …The problem with the big ten theory is that under a big ten you usually find a lot of clowns and confusion; witness Rangel, Pelosi, Frank, and the more dubious members of the President’s cabinet and his czars…

To which I replied: Quite a bit of dung, too, considering nobody wants to clean up.

The Big Tent with which the moderates harangue us doesn’t exist and is not what Reagan meant.
