Denies Campaign Funding Support Unless They Pass


Among the principles on the test are support of limited government, market-based health care reform, legal immigration, gun rights and military-recommended troop surges in Iraq and Afghanistan. The list also requires opposing Obama's domestic policies, including his $787 billion stimulus bill, climate change legislation and his signature health care reform plan.

Its a Fox News story. According to many of you, that means it must be untrue.

I would like to see it reported elsewhere.

I do not want to see the RNC shoot themselves in the foot, two parties are better than one. I assume this is just political posturing by one wing of the party, they need moderate candidates to win in many congressional districts.

Looks like some others have picked up on it.

MSNBC

Wash Ind.


Maybe it is true.

Along with a Palin/Prejean 2012 ticket!!

Nothing further would be necessary.

If the republicans have a future, they need to define themselves. Being " like the dems, but better, smarter, cheaper, etc" doesn't work.
Every political party needs a list of its core principles. The dems certainly do---anyone who does not support abortion anytime need not apply as the national leaders will not allow them to have any influence.
The repubs need a set of guiding principles. They used to have such a common set. Then, in order to gain support in some quarters, some republicans began to become very much like democrats. The public, in this last election, decided that if it wanted liberals, it wanted real liberals, and voted for the dems. Why vote for "liberal-lite" if you really want liberals?
The repubs NEED to develop a list. The content of that list will be very telling as to whether or not the republicans remain a major party, or if a third party emerges. Politically, a third party benefits the dems, at least for the short term, as non democrat voters will be split. However, if the potential third party generates a solid base, the repubs may go the way of the Whigs.

Agreed, as some one said:

There are two political parties; one with bad ideas and one with no ideas.

Local Baltimore talkshow host says it this way, ( You could reverse the terms if you chose, and it would still be accurate.)

The republicans are the Stupid Party.
The democrats are the Evil Party.

Bi-Partisan means that the proposed legislation is both EVIL and STUPID.

I would love to see Palin and Prejean together (not in the White house though!)

BIG dog, LITTLE pony !!!

This has somewhat of a 1930's Germanic whiff to it. If the RNC is so concerned about its future, it should dump that plodding dud of a chairman.

As long as I don't have to hear them speak, I'm with you.

You never HAVE to listen to anyone speak. The choice is always ( at least for now) yours.
The President is on TV? Listen, or tune to another channel, or work on your car, or spend time with your wife and children, or read a good book....
