should read:
The Republican Party is seeking your input as we develop the policies and principles upon which we
shouldwill take the exact opposite stand for the next four years.there…fixed that!
Beat me to it Michelle I just discovered the site and took a shot at them
I will voice my “chance” here as I just don’t have the energy to set up yet another account and be ignored.
RNC
Get a clue.
Build the fence
Go after the Democrats who are corrupt
Build the fence
Find a conservative we can vote for next time
Take agvantage of Congress’ low numbers
Build the stinking fence already.
Go after the money we spent on Mexico’s fence and get it back to build our fence.
Feel free to add…
To he77 with the RNC.
So ummm. . . it doesn’t say that this discussion is only for Republicans. For example, I am not a registered R, am I allowed to participate?
And if I am allowed to participate, who’s to say that some Democrats won’t hijack the discussion to show that there is ‘division’ among Republicans?
Sorry but working on this internet makes me understand that anything on the internet is sabotage worthy. It’s the only thing that keeps Google from being any more heavy handed with it’s algorithms.
Because if sabotage were available, mark it down that I’d be beating the crap out of my competitors on Google.
Yep.
Oh, I really lost any chance at getting McInsane brownie points. I cannot put on this site what I sent but you can imagine Juan will not be happy.
No Dispute, I’m writing in Newt.
I went to the web site, and left, and went back, and left, and then went back again and left. I felt like a dog that wants to approach and be paid attention to but is afraid it will just be hit again.
I want to say how I feel, but I know they won’t listen. I am a conservative, and they are RINOS.
They are probably getting their marching orders from Juan McAmnesty and La Raza anyway.
I guess the most polite way I can say it is disappointment. but, I sure do have a whopper worked up inside me. Maybe if I went out and sledge hammered a Prius or something I’d feel better.
Sent them my views in order to help change the party to my vision, rather than just whining that it’s not what I want. As much as it’s home to McCain, it’s also home to Jindal, Palin, Gingrich, Thompson, Tancredo, and all of the rest.
1. National Security:
a. develop American sources of fuel
b. secure the border
2. Take a good hard look at the Constitution…remember that? Now would be a good time for the “support and defend” part of your oath. Go after anyone or anything that is in violation.
3. Continue to take the fight to the enemy.
4 Eliminate the Federal income tax.
5. Cut spending in order to balance the budget.
Don’t you mean, “What to be patronized by your party leadership and deluded into thinking they value your opinions”?
Why not post a link on THEIR web page to THIS web page?
Oh man don’t get me started.
Can I go next?
Where was the press 1 for english no the site?
Congratulations, you shoehorned it all in to the same sack.
The Repbulican party reminds me of those three Monkeys, See No Illegals, speak no illegals, hear no legals.
I’ve done the surveys and inputs before. No response, other than the “we need your money” mail which quickly follows.
Everyone should put their two cents in. Sure they are likely to ignore many of your pet issues, but if the RNC doesn’t listen while in the minority just before a general election, they never will.
I logged in and sent them my suggestions. I’m sure they’re laughing about them now.
Ditto.
I am not an “R” and never will be. I have told them how I feel and it seems they go out of their way to do the exact OPPOSITE. Republicans have become Democrat lite. Chances of me giving them anything other than a Peso- ZERO
Oh come on, you guys are too cynical. If we don’t voice our opinions they won’t hear any reason to change.
Let’s act like grown ups instead of a bunch of disappointed teenagers.
What Atheling said.
If I thought it would make a dimes bit of difference what I would tell them, I would give them an ‘earful’, but it won’t. I don’t know how many letters I have gotten fron the RNC and sent back asking for my ‘views’ on issues. Nothing changes.
L
Term Limits!
Term Limits!
Term Limits!
They gave us Juan McAmnesty… why would I be cynical?
Okay, Rob, you just lie down and die. You sound like some Euroweenie.
Last I heard, Americans are CAN DO people, who don’t roll over. But if you want to be that way, fine, crybaby.
This is another scam in hopes of getting more money contributions.
Although I am registered as a Republican I am no longer one. I am a Conservative.
Why bother with a Republican Party Platform when McCain, and all but a few in Congress, will ignore it.
If I wanted Liberal and middle of the road I would become a Democrat.
Exactly, to hell with the RNC and the high horse they rode in on.
I checked that site out earlier today. These Jackaxes STILL Don’t get it! Just like that traitor McCain!I immediately noticed that on their issues list there wasn’t a whiff of a mention about Illegal immigration. That’s all it took for me to log off in disgust.— . I think both McCain and Obama are on board for a North American Union…no wonder we have to learn Spanish…run the country into the ground and then we can all “get along” famously as third world compadres!!
Sigh.
Look under National Security, then the sub topic, BORDER SECURITY.
The voters and media did. We’re looking to influence the party’s platform moving forward. You can sit and pout if you’d like, I’m going to try to change things.
I’d actually take a second and look around before huffing back here just to smash McCain again. It’s under “National Security”, subtopic “Border Security”.
We can see that many folks here would rather pout and whinge than actually get off their fat asses and do anything.
This is what will put Obama in the White House.
I’ll be thanking all of you losers for it in November.
aethling
we are treated as teenagers…..unable to handle the tough issues in life…and therefor our rational opinions are treated as irrational and not worthy of any serious considerations. It just makes me want to sneak out of the house all over again…..but in this situation….there is nowhere to go. I gave them my opinions on numerous occasions. Their response? Please send more money…..
Will send nearly the same as I sent to GOPAC yesterday:
Are you supporting w/$$$$ men and women of honor?
William “Bill” Russell
Alan West
Tom McClintock
I’ll add; secure our borders-off shore drilling for oil-ANWAR-lower taxes-…..
This looks like a perfect opportunity for the nutroots to pull a Rush Limbaugh type Operation Chaos in reverse. I,m thinking this may not turn out very well at all.
Quite right. So long as the crybabies sit here and moan about it but do absolutely nothing to counter their sabotage efforts.
Help–re: the RNC site; I put my e-add. + my e password-what else do I need? I keep getting “invalid”.
That is no reason to act like teenagers. Your reasoning resembles that of liberals.
Christian Soldier,
You have to create an account first, by giving them your email addy. They will send you a password so you can then log in.
RE: #42
I just did all that and the site still won’t let me submit any ideas…
I gave them my votes on a couple of issues. I noticed on one of them (escapes me which one) they asked for party membership and I selected non/independent.
I figured if I put Republican, I would be ignored (except for the money requests of course), but as an Indi, they may actually read my comments.
I just hope I don’t have the FBI knock on my door for suggesting that the platform recognize islam as a political ideology similar to the Nazis and Commies.
Here’s my top ten:
1. A strong dollar – The value of the dollar has fallen over much of the past decade and we’re paying for it in the form of higher prices for oil and gas among other things. Strengthening the dollar will help will bring down the price of gas and other commodities.
2. Tax cuts – Specifically make George W. Bush’s marginal rate reductions permanent, reduce the capital gains tax rate, eliminate the “death tax” and cut the corporate tax rate from the current 35 percent to 25 percent.
3. Fiscal responsibility – We are not under-taxed, the government spends too much. Want my vote? End earmarks and balance the budget!
4. A strong national defense. – Fight for the NSA surveillance program, protect telecom companies from frivolous lawsuits, preserve the PATRIOT act, keep the Guantanamo Bay detention center open, fight to win the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Make sure that our veterans can live out their lives in dignity.
5. Secure borders – This is a very simple thing… Any nation that fails to defend its borders will eventually cease to be a sovereign nation. Build the fence, and enforce the laws already on the books!
6. Increased domestic energy production – End or at least ease the restrictions on domestic oil and natural gas drilling.
7. Free Market health care solutions – Just say no to government controlled nationalized health care. We have to best health care system in the world… Yes there are problems, yes the costs spiraling upwards but nationalized health care isn’t the answer. Free market ideas like health savings accounts, tax breaks for small business owners, and tort reform are better ideas.
8. Tax breaks for families who choose to send their children to private or parochial schools. – Vouchers are a nonstarter with me but allowing parents to deduct private or parochial school tuition from their taxes makes sense.
9. Social Security and Medicare reform.
10. The appointment of judges who recognize that their job is to interpret the Constitution, NOT legislate from the bench.
I don’t know what to tell you. I did it, and have no problems submitting ideas. I did a whole slew of them…
I’m not buying into their sincerity here. It’s my view this is their latest feeble attempt to collect e-mail addresses so they can inundate us with solicitations for campaign contributions.
Those lame “surveys” didn’t work, so they’ve gone to Plan B.
I’d like for the RNC to work on reinstating the Synthetic Liquid Fuels Program that Reagan abolished during the 80’s Oil Glut.
atheling–the site still will not let me in –maybe my GOPAC comments will get to them
Thank you – though – for your help.
atheling:
whoa there big fella…..
as you can read at the end of my post it clearly says I have given them my opinions on numerous occasions and have gotten nothing but solicitations in return! I want to see results first from now on. Is that so bad? There are a lot of issues they can take up…right today…that can make a difference in the way this country is headed. They ALREADY KNOW what these issues are but instead of getting down to business they keep asking for our opinions and money (dinero) to keep them going. Remember the NRCC website? Thousands of opinions & comments from the folks yet they still need more? Thats crap! This new site is nothing but a email solicitation engine.
I thought of that too, and am actually looking forward to getting their greedy emails so that I can have the pleasure of deleting them. No one will know of course, but it will give me a modicum of satisfaction to say “F.U. McAmnesty” as I click delete…
#24 and #25
I have over and over, like a broken elvis 45. They arent listening, and don’t seem to give a flying fig.
HEH. Last time I filled out a questionnaire from my Republicans and their concern for my issues, I hit submit and was immediately taken to a donation page. Pardon me if I am a bit gun shy about this whole deal. They want to call themselves a “grass root” movement but forget who the conservatives are and what we stand for – hence, tell us again (and again, and again, and again, and again…). They pay ZERO attention to the past failures of trying to elect a moderate conservative for POTUS (all lost their election bids BTW). Now our republican candidate wants to reach across the aisle to Democrats and the RNC wants to know what WE think? PHALEEEEEZZZZZZ
Here is an idea. Want to know what your conservative base wants, surf conservative blogs. We give you a darn good idea of what we want.
Do not ask our opinions (which go ignored) and hold out your hand for a check. It really ticks us off.
/rant off
Juan has pimp slapped all of us right in the nose. But amerpun and atheling are right. Keep a copy of your suggestions and when you get there email, just reply with the copy of your ideas. Something needs to happen to make sure the conservatives show up in November.
Good ones! If Juan could stick to that I think people will change there attitudes.
From the site:
See, this guy left something and now, HE has issues!
Ya know, the RNC is so besot with the DNC and its ability to collect Nutroots that they are again making a stab to do it with this ill conceived site.
I am so sick of the RNC’s promises to listen and not having a clue that means they actually have to at least ACT like they are listening. Instead the RNC is still stuck on the “build it and they will come”.
Sorry RNC you have to have something when they get there.
I was especially “touched” with Juan’s latest campaign ad about Hispanics are God’s Children after having stood in a US Customs line for 1.5 hours and being screamed at twice (once for taking a picture of their “creed” and once for having not turned off my cell phone) at the airport yesterday. With the assistance of the airport security after the customs holdup, we made our flight by 1 minute or less while 4 other people missed it. Hey Juan, I’m a child of God too!
Thank’s,
I just left a comment letting them know that CIR with amnesty and McCains pandering to racist ethnocentric special interest groups like LaRasa will lose the Conservative vote.
Not to beat a dead horse – okay – I am shooting a dead horse. From their site on “Protecting American Values”:
Do they honestly NOT know the answers to these questions?
Neither party ahs any interest whatsoever in including the general electorate in their platform development. Why should we think that this will get anyone anywhere when most of these people do not represent us in Congress? Do the parties have some sort of rights to legislate that we are unaware of? Didn’t think so.
Smoke & Mirrors. The RNC should be ashamed if they aren’t smart enough to knwo what their constituency wants. And the best way to shame them is to deny them your hard earned money. Summed up best by…
I won’t be holding my breath to see the RNC start listening to us peons or move back to conservative values any time soon. The wife and I are registered Independents thanks to their pandering to illegals and wasteful spending policies trying so hard to be the Democrat-Lite Party over the last couple of years. They haven’t been listening most of this year and neither have half my representatives in Congress (aisle crossing Senator wide stance and Congress critter Simpson to drop some names). I gave them my opinion several times and they sure as hell ain’t getting a penny from us this year we need it to pay for the inflation caused by the inept Energy Policy their eager bipartisanship has given us so far. The RNC wants to impress me dump the grumpy old man and many of the RINOs they are backing and find someone that understands the principles this country was founded on along with a backbone willing to fight for them.
Yes just fall in line and march to their tune. That will make the RNC get back on track. Your idea of Following them wherever they go sounds like a Communist China thought. “Yes Leader, I will do whatever you tell me. You are the leader so you must be right. (Marches right off the cliff to his death)”
Call me a cry baby all you want, McInsane will never get my vote and since the RNC is spending money on him, they lose my money as well.
Re structure and re engineer our financial system, move us away from the forced growth or crash, debt based travesty to which we have been all enslaved since Richard Nixon.
develop a second currency to stabilize and allow the safe decrease of our national debt.
Then there will be no excuses left to deny us our sovereignty or build an immunity to threats from the middle east and the far east.
Strawman,liar.
@ Sambo, I have my top ten issues list posted on my blog and they’ve been e-mailed to RNC Chair Mike Duncan… Whether he reads is another matter.
BTW, Ansell, if Obama wins the White House, I will spend the next four years pointing my finger at you and your ilk who sat out this election and put Obama there.
Enjoy the next four years, buddy, because you’re going to get an earful that even the RNC won’t get.
RNC hasn’t seen any cash from me since they started acting like democrats.
return to the principles of the Republican party as espoused by Robert Taft and Barry Goldwater- no entangling alliances, small government. Get rid of the IRS, the DEA, the ATF, the FTC, the FCC, the Department of education, and other hundreds of unnecessary federal government organizations that unnecessarily abridge our freedoms and violate the constitution. Once the Republican party remembers its roots of Reagan, Goldwater, Taft, and Coolidge, I will consider supporting them again.
oh yeah- and get rid of the welfare state and build that goddam fence along the border. Milton Friedman said it best- you can’t simultaneously have a welfare state and free immigration.
Point away Atheling. I’m writing in Newt. I’m voting for a Republican Conservative and you’re voting for a Democrat. I’m staying true the party. You are the one crossing sides.
Well, you’re a fool, then, because you are throwing your vote away. The choice is either Obama or McCain in the White House. I’m not happy with McCain, but I certainly don’t want Obama. Since you believe that putting Obama in the White House is the way to go, you’re actually the one who is voting Liberal Democrat.
Grow up, mister.
I don’t want to grow up, Atheling. I cannot vote for Mcinsane and allow him to destroy our sovereignty. It’s that simple. There are three things that could make me vote for McInsane and he’s not willing to change:
1, NO AMNESTY.
2, Enforce the laws already on the books.
3, Pledge to cut taxes and spending.
IN THAT ORDER. Hell, if he even did the first one, I might just vote for the old grump. Other than that, I’m tired of opening the local paper and seeing another person dead at the hands of an illegal alien gang banger. I don’t know where you live, but it’s very common here in So. California. I’m tired paying higher fees to offset all the money the illegals and their anchor babies. It’s a hidden tax that McInsane is supporting.
Until McInsane wises up, I’m writing in Newt.
More Taxes because Politicians like McInsane pander to the illegals.
a whole bunch of things I agree with.
Imagine yourself in the RNC’s position, and what feedback you received from the moment a majority of primary-election voters chose John McCain.
It’s been nothing but snarkiness and whining, mixed in with a few — very few — constructive suggestions and criticisms.
Even the conservative (online) version of the MSM has resorted to yammering about McCain’s positions in an almost totally negative way.
Would you listen to the people involved? I sure as hell wouldn’t.
The real enemy in this election is spelled O-B-A-M-A.
You catch more flies with honey than sulfuric acid.
I am sick of people “pre-blaming” those of us who aren’t happy with McCain, saying how much they will enjoy pointing fingers at us if/when McCain loses.
Doesn’t John McCain have some responsibility to be a candidate that appeals to conservatives, that presents us with clear, unequivocal choices on the issues rather than just “I’m not as bad as Obama”, “Me Too, What My Friend Across the Aisle Said” and “Democrat Lite”?
If McCain loses he has only himself to blame. The Republican candidate, I thought, is supposed to represent by example the people who are his base, who believe in conservative ideas and principles in our Constitution that have made our country great. Sorry I have yet to see that in McCain, and believe me, I’ve been looking hard considering what the alternative is…
They won’t send me a password. I am guessing because my name is not Juan, Pedro or Ronaldo Rockstar.
No use in trying to tell them what true conservatives think about the platform. They will ignore it anyway. Every time someone calls wanting money for McCain, I tell them why I will not support him with money. I also tell them I want someone to call me that I can talk to besides some flunkie trying to collect campaign funds. So far no one has called and I am not holding my breath waiting. I will never support anyone who wants to include amnesty for illegals in their platform.
It’s an amazing coincidence, but the RNC called me less than 2 hours ago looking for a contribution.
Not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, after I stammered and stuttered a bit, I finally did manage to get out that I was absolutely fed up with the Repubs silence on the Dems obstructionist policies regarding oil drilling and they would never see another penny from me until they grew a pair of ‘Malkins’ and made it a campaign issue.
Poor guy who called let on that he wasn’t a Republican, but only doing a job and he’d been on the receiving end of similar comments all day and that he’d let his supervisors know.
Bah!
Instead of posting angry remarks at us snarky, whining conservatives, those of you who support RINO McAmnesty might rather go and post on this web page… there you will find similar souls who believe in the “change” mantra of reform, prosperity and peace.
(I will vote for that misguided old fool M-c-A-m-n-e-s-t-y, but it is going to be with a heavy heart.)
Just ignore those brownshirt wearing, jackbooted RINO’s. They have no principles and they support candidates who lack them as well. They expect us to shut up and vote for their out of control spending, hispandering, global warming alarmist, socialism loving candidates all the while berating us for resisting.
a crapweasel said #78, good post. Their little name calling is water off a duck’s back. McInsane is acting like he is and he’s running for office. Just imagine how well he will listen to the base should he be lucky enough to win. “Fingers in ears going BLA BLA BLA BLA, O.K. Teddy, that’s a great idea. I’ll agree with every Democrat idea because my voters are dolts.”
Judging from these other comments on this thread, I’d say this comment nonsense by the RNC is nothing more than a gimmick to get email addresses for donations…..
I guess I’m not the only person who couldn’t log a comment there and unlike Ron Rockstar, I did get a password from them.
Pretty underhanded, I’d say
McCain wants this all across America
Wow! I wonder what Michelle is gonna think about that!
According to news reports, McCain’s donations are way down. This RNC ploy is merely another attempt to gather potentially new sources of $$$. During the prelims, Sr. McCain mouthed that he had learned his lesson and knew we wanted the “borders secured.” As soon as he had the nomination in hand, he dropped that pretense and slithered back to his true goal of legalizing every illegal already in the country. Earlier this week, he was sucking up to La Raza, which has that exact goal among many others. Sr. McCain is a politician. Politicians lie when they feel it necessary. McCain lies when he feels it expedient to do so.
The ad-hominem attackers above(you know who you are) are minor leaguers compared with what Sr. McCain, Sr. Bush and a few others threw at those of us who balked at accepting their amnesty proposals. As a previous poster noted, Sr. McCain will have no one but himself to blame if he loses. American voters owe their allegiance to principles, not to a political party.
the people who are “holding their noses” and voting for Juan Mcamnesty should be holding their noses because of their own stink. Why shouldn’t you vote for the candidate that has the views most inline with your own? Why should you compromise your values just to “show” the other side that their candidate sucks more. In all honesty, there are other options. Chuck Baldwin would seem to appeal to most of you guys because he’s very pro-sovereignty, and for those who hate Mcpain and BO because of their horrible stances on civil liberties, there’s always Babar (bob barr for you non-colbertites).
Could some of the hacks and flacks here explain to me how I (or anybody else) can “waste” my vote for voting for I want for President? See, I have this strange perspective that tells me that the only way a vote can be wasted is by staying home on election day in apathy and not voting at all. Furthermore, I’m delusional enough to think that the Founding Fathers would agree with me.
I also am fed up with the RINO McCain lovers who come on this board and blame conservatives for Obama being the likely winner.
It is McCain and his weak campaign, his pandering to illegal aliens and their supporters, and his namby pamby centrist positions that excite no one, and turn off most conservatives.
if McCain loses, BLAME HIM.
conservatives had it right, in more ways than one. they said that trying to be demo lite and nominating a moderate who is a weak speaker and campaigner, will be a loser.
the same kind of moderates who voted for McCain in NH and Fla are the same ones who now decry the fact that conservatives are not falling in line with the RINO with the tough hide but no horn.
hacks and flacks. LOL
spread it on your breakfast cereal.
Mcpain lovers = frosted flakes
This is a joke, the political equivalent of writing a letter to Santa. Seeing that the RINO party views its base with the disdain and embarrassment that we associate with the parent of a six-year old who hasn’t quite mastered potty training, that makes sense.
Speaking of Santa, the sad thing is we won’t even get a lump of coal, let alone a gallon of gas out of these clowns.
if my opponent stayed in a racist church that was spewing anti-white and anti-American hatred for 20 years, I would be shouting it from the top of my lungs at every public appearance.
instead, we get mr softie saying “keep that stuff quiet”, we are runnning a “respectful” campaign.
so, I don’t want my commander-in-chief to be a guy who is too timid to take on a political opponent. how is he going to be tough on Achmanutjob from Iran or any other despot when he is too timid to even call out a democrap

HERE HERE!!! Well said atheling!
Anyone who is willing to waste their vote or stay home on election day and allow Obama to become president is not a “consirvative” nor even a very good American. Anyone not voting Republican has a hell of a nerve calling someone who is a RINO.
I signed up for an account. I took the “poll” on national security. I then left the following comment:
“Nowhere in the list of “questions to think about” on national security or in the poll questions or in the list of sub-issues is the issue of TERRORISM even mentioned. My conclusion is that the Republican party has no intention of either listening to the Republican base with regard to the party platform or of making the slightest effort to protect America after the election.
So much for the fiction that the Republican national committee has some interest in what Republicans think.”
I won’t waste any more time going back to the web site. To be fair, I’m not their target market anyway. I just can’t bring myself to vote for the driving force behind the unconstitutional abomination that is McCain-Feingold.
I see there are still a lot of blind republicans here. I will never support democrap lite again. If the RNC wants to run as democraps, that’s great. But I’m through with them. Maybe we need another Carter to help percolate some real conservative candidates to run next go around.
Why are they time and money with a new website when we are already telling them how we feel here, at Townhall, at Red State and throughout the conservative blogosphere? They aren’t interested in what we think, they just want to rebuild their mailing lists.
Besides, I tell them exactly what I think every two weeks or so when I return their surveys/donation request stuffed with Bush pesos. I just got the McCain peso so I can’t wait for the next mailer.

That idea was first floated by a PR firm ( Hill & Knowlton) that the DNC hired to figure out ways to keep what they consider redneck rubes on their tractors on election day. In other words, it is a scam to split the republicans and elect a democrat. You do not gain influence by losing elections.
Regardless, there wont be much left to govern after Obama/Reid/Pelosi have uncontested leadership for 4 to 8 years.
I was unsuccessful in my tries too. And like so many others, I have sent letter after letter to the RNC, they have all been ignored. My opinion does not matter to them at all.
IMHO, if they would return ILLEGAL ALIENS to their home of origin, a lot of the other concerns would be taken care of at the same time. Tons of money would be freed up to help solve the problems of Americans.
