Partido Republicano, Lo bueno, lo malo y lo feo... Empty Partido Republicano, Lo bueno, lo malo y lo feo...

Este tema es sobre el GOP en todas sus modalidades desde el ala corporativista, la moralista/religiosa hasta llegar al "Tea Party". Opinen de lo que les agrada o desagrada de su ideologia, plataforma y/o candidatos.

En la actual elección, el RINO (Republicon in Name Only/Republicano de nombre solamente) corporativista llamado Romney se ha sacado de la manga un "As" conservador en Paul Ryan. Esta no es la primera ocasión que esto pasa. Daddy-Bush uso a Dan Qayle, al igual que el otro RINO de John McCain le buscaron a la "uber conservadora" Sarah Palin y ahora, el mormón quiere usar a Ryan para conquistar el voto conservador. El ultimo presidente que puso los intereses de la Nacion por encima de los de la claque globafilica fue Ronald Reagan. De allí en adelante todos han sido unos siervos del 1% mundial…

Romney fue electo gobernador por los mismos votantes que eligieron a Ted Kenendy y Barney Frank… Valiente endoso… Ya fue Romney a Israel y casi nos compromete a apoyar a Israel en una guerra con Irán… No que Obama se quede atrás… pero si Romney quiere emular a Reagan, le falta bastante. Ryan puede ser un conservador fiscal, pero su record indica que apoya una mayor centralización subordinación y sumisión globalifílica bajo la ONU y el WTO. En lo importante, Ryan no es tan conservador como lo promueven ya que apoyo proyectos de ley de reformas migratorias y otros proyectos que no son muy conservadores o en el mejor interés de nuestros ciudadanos.

La esperanza que nos queda es que los escaños en el senado y la cámara que gane el partido caigan en manos del ala del Tea Party y le impidan a quien gane la presidencia que entreguen el país a los intereses apátridas del capital extranjero e internacional.


Que creen ustedes???

Partido Republicano, Lo bueno, lo malo y lo feo... Empty No faltaba mas... Se creyeron que era con ellos...

Tremendo peo que se formo en Tampa cuando la delegada de PR, Zoraida Fonalledas, fue al templete a rendirr el reporte del comite que encabeza... Desde antes se venia cociendo una griteria por parte de los partidarios de Ron Paul ante la bellaca maniobra de la elite que controla el club campestre conocido como el RNC.... La plebe se les sublevo y se formo tremenda griteria. Lamentablemente nuestra compatriota entro justo despues del voto que tanto encolerizo a los partidarios de Ron Paul. Aqui lo que aparece en el NY Times:
Paul Supporters Criticize Process, Party and Rules

Damon Winter/The New York Times
Ron Paul delegates from Maine shouted in protest on Tuesday evening in Tampa.
Earlier in the day, what was supposed to be a slow, orderly and only symbolic process erupted in anger, presenting a raucous scene that even the most seasoned delegates had not seen in some 30 years, an unexpected scene of disunity that, if for only a moment, harkened to the early days when conventions actually decided things.

Chanting “point of order” at the top of their lungs, the activists – almost all of them Ron Paul supporters — said that the party leadership had shut off their microphones and cut off their ability to raise an objection to the processes seating delegates and approving a new set of disputed rules pushed by the Romney campaign. None was louder than the Texas delegation, which drew extra attention to itself in the hall with cowboy hats and Texas-flag, button-down shirts.

The activists said they had built enough support in enough states to push a reversal of a party decision against seating several Ron Paul supporting delegates, and, more significantly, to submit a proposal rejecting the new rules pushed by the Romney campaign – which were approved in a thunderous voice vote – in a roll call vote.

“We got smushed,’’ said Robert Tyree, a Nevada delegate.

A fellow Paul supporter from Nevada, Cindy Lake, fumed at being shut down, saying, “They said to us, you have no voice anymore, the Tea Party has no voice,’’ adding, “This is a completely draconian disenfranchisement by the elite of the rank and file.”

Activists on the floor here – dotted with the old fashioned placards marking each state delegation in red white and blue – said that earlier the rules committee deciding on the Romney rules proposal limited discussion, to reduce opposition. Mr. Romney’s campaign had sought to tighten rules to ensure that a candidate who wins a state primary gets guaranteed support from the delegates they win.

Delegate apportionment varies by state, but under the current rules some states allow supposedly “bound” delegates to switch allegiance to another candidate on the convention floor – a system that helped persuade Mr. Paul, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich to stay in the nominating competition even as their losses in primaries and caucuses mounted.

On Tuesday night, a group of activist leaders and Romney officials struck a compromise, but some activists complained that it still gave party leaders in Washington power to change the rules again between national conventions.

That compromise won approval at a rules committee meeting in the afternoon, but Paul supporters said that was after limited discussion. And some of the activists said their leading champions – including the activist Morton Blackwell – were not able to attend the meeting due to transportation concerns, which some cast as suspicious.

This is a return to smoke-filled rooms,” said Steve Dickson, a delegate from Oklahoma.

Even after their cause — which included a desire by some to literally submit Mr. Paul’s name for nomination — was quashed, Mr. Paul’s fans screamed out their support every time a state announced some of its votes were going for Mr. Paul.

Mensaje por Charlie319 Miér Ago 29, 2012 10:25 am

Es posible que por cerrarle la puerta a los delegados de Ron Paul, Romney haya alienado ese sector del partido... Es probable que no pocos fanaticos de Ron Paul voten por escrito en favor de el y le nieguen el voto a Romney... Habra que ver.

Es interesante ver como se esfuerzan los qnemigos del conservadurismo por ilustrar al GOP como un partido secuestrado por una minoria vociferante del "Tea Party"... Y digo interesante porque la verdad es que hay una minoria que tiene, y ha tenido al partido secuestrado... Pero ese grupo no es el Tea Party... Esta noticia es del Washington Post, periodico eminentemente Democrata de la Capital Nacional.... y podemos ver que el TEa Party es la fraccion mas significativa del Partido.

The many faces of the Republican Party
Posted by Peyton Craighill on August 20, 2012 at 1:22 pm

Under the two big tents that are the Democratic and Republican parties are a number of different types of partisans. A major poll from the Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation segments people who affiliate with a political party into distinct groups based on their differing values, views on politics and policies. The analysis identifies four groups of Democrats and five Republican groups. Read on for a full rundown of the key differences within the groups and see where you might fit. Explore all the poll questions and detailed results.
Partido Republicano, Lo bueno, lo malo y lo feo... RepCluster

Los del Tea Party podrán ser el grupo más significativo dentro del GOP, pero también es el grupo que más daño se ha hecho. Si el GOP pone un candidato Presidencial de ese grupo en el 2016, como Rand Paul, van a asustar a los moderados y los independientes y quizás darle a los demócratas la presidencia por otro término consecutivo.

Además, desde el 2011 los Republicanos tuvieron su campaña primarista donde querendones del Tea Party tuvieron su oportunidad de aspirar a la presidencia. Pero a medida que transcurrieron los numerosos e insufribles debates, la mayoría silenciosa del GOP se dieron cuenta que Romney era el único candidato con ideas racionales.

Esta gente no tienen el apoyo que proyectan tener, pero si han sido estratégicos en ocupar unos espacios para trancar las discusiones sanas y racionales y así lastimar a la nación, y después al propio partido Republicano.

Bueno, si vamos a ser democraticos, y si el Tea Party es la fraccion mas numerosa dentro del GOP, entonces seria logico que ganara un candidato de esa faccion... Lo que sucedio en el 2012 fue que Romney corrio tras la nominacion como un candidato "Tea Party" y gano por encima de Newt a quien no tragan en el TP y Santorum que es del ala religiosa del partido y no es atractivo tampoco. Una vez gano la candidatura, Romney se dejo manejar por los cocorocos del GOP-Inc con lo que abandono los temas conservadores a cambio de la economia... y fue a medidaq de lso debates que se dieron cuneta que Romney primarista no erael mismo que estaba debatiendo su agenda pro-corporacion y anti-ciudadano...

Si el Tea Party no tienen el apoyo que proyectan tener, como es que eligen ganadores? En la Camara, de 83 candidatos del TP, 67 ganaron, 15 perdieron y uno se fue a un "run-off" en dicienbre... Para un porcentaje de victoria de 80% En el senado no tuvieron tan buena suerte donde solo Ted Cruz y Jeff Flake ganaron, pero en general les fue mejor que al GOP en general.

After 2012 setbacks, Tea Party struggles over need for inside influence
By Alexandra Jaffe - 12/09/12 02:00 PM ET
The Tea Party movement is reevaluating its priorities after a disappointing election cycle and conservative Sen. Jim DeMint’s (R-S.C.) abrupt departure from the Senate.
Former Rep. Dick Armey’s split last week from FreedomWorks — one of the movement’s most visible groups — also highlights ongoing tensions within the Tea Party. The challenge: striking a balance between working with the establishment and working to upend it.
But activists involved at both the grassroots and more organized level said the movement’s future will hinge both on its ability to translate its small government ideals to people outside the Beltway, and to engage more actively in the political process in the future.
You’re seeing this push from the bottom up, from the outside into Washington, D.C. to actually get a handle on those [conservative] ideas and really the intellectual basis for what we believe. The solution is not just a white paper, the solution is something that people can engage with,” said Matt Kibbe, president and CEO of FreedomWorks.
Kibbe said that many of the group’s plans going forward, which were “already on the blackboard,” wouldn’t change in the wake of Armey’s exit. Those plans include “translating those substantive [conservative] ideas into consumable 30-second ideas,” he said.
DeMint’s move away from the Senate to the Heritage Foundation, one of Washington’s oldest conservative think tanks, could help lead that messaging push.
The outspoken Tea Party leader is known more for his messaging skill and political acumen than his legislative accomplishments. DeMint has worked in Congress largely by attacking Republican leadership when he feels it is failing to adhere to conservative principles, and by supporting like-minded candidates in primaries to further his agenda.
Mike Gonzalez, the Heritage Foundation’s vice president of communication, said DeMint’s ability to communicate conservative ideals is part of what Heritage took into consideration in persuading him to leave the Senate.
“We like to think about how policies affect people outside of Washington,” Gonzalez said. “We need to help people connect the dots … and Sen. DeMint is someone who also thinks that way.”
Kibbe said that DeMint could be “that bridge between what I’m talking about outside the beltway, and what Heritage is doing inside the beltway.
“You’ve got to dust off some of those white papers and actually turn them into English. [DeMint] is obsessed with communicating the values of freedom, and I think we need to address those values to people outside of Washington,” he said.
The Tea Party took a beating in 2012, with only four of the 16 Senate candidates backed by the movement winning on election night
.
Though the movement fared better in the House, Tea Party Caucus founder Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) barely managed to fight off a challenge from her Democratic opponent. Tea Party darling Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) was defeated despite being one of the top House fundraisers in the nation.
FreedomWorks, which spent nearly $40 million in the 2012 cycle, had less than a one-in-four winning record on candidates it backed, according to data collected by the Sunlight Foundation.
Kibbe said that the group was reassessing its involvement in the political process, with an eye on 2014 and even 2016.
“I would like to do better in 2014, and part of what we’re going to do is critically assess candidates — almost be more proactive in the recruitment of candidates,” he said.
The group will be looking for candidates that “fit our philosophical criteria and have the capacity to win statewide, and possibly national, races.”
Jenny Beth Martin, a founder of Tea Party Patriots, said her group was also looking at more engagement in the nominating process in 2014. The group’s members will be voting over the coming days on whether to form a political action committee to support its efforts, she said.
“Having a PAC gives us more tools that we can use to fight, especially when it comes to express advocacy for or against a candidate,” Martin said. “If our competition and the opposition, the people who are not for fiscal responsibility, if they’re using all the tools at their disposal and we’re leaving some of the tools on the sideline, we may not be fighting as effectively as we could be.”
But there remains a conflict at the very base of this effort to mainstream a movement built on anti-establishment sentiment: How do the leaders of the Tea Party, and its activists, work within establishment channels without becoming a part of what they see as the problem?
Armey, for instance, was the consummate political insider during his nearly decade-long tenure in Congress.
He served as House Majority Leader and was one of the authors of the Contract With America, the GOP’s guiding policy blueprint in the ’90s.
And yet for the latter part of his political career, he helped foster the burgeoning Tea Party and became one of the grassroots movement’s most prominent public faces.
It’s unclear whether Armey’s past in the Republican establishment created the tension that ultimately led to his exit, but he did indicate in an interview with Mother Jones, which broke the story of his departure, that FreedomWorks was going in a direction that “I thought was unproductive.”
“They were matters of principle. It’s how you do business as opposed to what you do,” he told Mother Jones.
DeMint has said he’s “coming home” to the Heritage Foundation. The think tank is known for its fiscal conservatism and small-government priorities, but it’s also one of Washington’s oldest and most established think tanks.
Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, one of DeMint’s recruits and a rising star in the Tea Party movement, has been tapped for a vice-chairmanship with the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The position puts him squarely in the middle of the establishment he toppled to win his nomination, and the grassroots that helped him do so.
It’s a dilemma that Kibbe says the grassroots movement, on which the Tea Party was founded, will have to watch out for in the future.
The question is: Once you get [to the establishment] do you stay true to principle?” he said.

De lo que yo recuerdo, muchos en el Tea Party no querían a Romney por ser más de lo mismo.

Además, los número que pones demuestran que son una minoría dentro del Partido Republicano y que son un grupo extremistas que dificilmente van a conseguir que los moderados e independientes lo apoyen. Los más vergonzoso de este proceso fue que sacaron de carrera un Senador Republicano en Indiana y pusieron a uno que perdió contra el Demócrata. Sabes que la cosa está mala cuando un estado donde Obama perdió, los Demócratas adquirieron un escaño en el Senado.

Tea Party Caucus founder Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) barely managed to fight off a challenge from her Democratic opponent. Tea Party darling Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) was defeated despite being one of the top House fundraisers in the nation.

Más evidente no puede ser. Este grupo es una estrella fugaz.

Vas a tener que definir lo que tu consideras "minoria"... El Tea Party tuvo que escoger entre Romney, Newt y Santorum. De esa terna, Mitt era el menos malo. 28% en un partido controlado por 5 o mas facciones no es "minoria"... A menos que se alien dos, o mas, de las otras facciones.

Sacaron a un senador blando y el que gano no durara. Eso solo te dice que en ese estado no quieren a Obama.

Allen West fue victima del racismo.

Michelle Bachman ha sobrevivido los ataques de los medios por mucho tiempo... Y se supone que iba a perder.
