Does the Republican Party really want Conservatives around? It sure doesn't seem like it at times. It seems like we get tolerated only because the votes that make the Republicans the majority one. I was thinking about it after reading David Limbaugh's post about the social liberal Republicans seeking the president nod. Read it
here. We are talking about Rudy Guiliani for the most part. If you only listened to the "mainstream" media you would think he was the front runner. He is the type of Republican that they wish we all were.
David thinks that social liberal Republicans have little chance of the nomination. I hope he is right. Because the Republicans will lose if they nominate a liberal. Look how well it is working for the Democrats. President Clinton is the only one that they got elected recently and he hid his liberalism to get elected. Liberals don't need both major parties, they should even have the one they got. The Democrat party has suffered very much and has lost most of it support since the lefties hijacked it.
The only reason that the Republicans have had the majority for most of the time lately is the support of conservatives. The Democrats ran non-liberals out of their party. A majority of UNION members of all people vote Republican today. Most Religious people vote Republican today. A lot of those folks used to be Democrats and were the conservatives of that party. Most didn't want to leave the Democrat party, but had no choice. My dad is a good example (both religious and a union member), he says he's a Democrat but hasn't voted for one since the 1970's.
President Reagan of course won huge with the conservatives. No thanks to the talking heads on tv, that would like conservatives to be more "moderate". They said it then, and say it now. Its still wrong. The Republicans are the majority when they are conservative. They were the minority when the "Rockfeller" Republicans ran the party. And it will be if the liberals take the Republican party too.
Conservatives are the true majority of the United States. The parties forget that at their own loss all too often. No matter how often the media or the elite says it that impossible for a conservative to win, the reality is that liberals can't win. Or win in most places. Places like San Fran and the upper east side are few and far between. I think America is wanting a true conservative party really bad. Whether or not the Republican party wants to be that party is unknown. The Democrats have chosen to not be that party.
But most people don't know that the U.S. is majority conservative, due to the misinformation and the bias of the media. All to often, important people in the Republican party believe this misinformation and act that way. Reagan showed the way and some do see it. Run as a conservative, no need to hide it.
