I suppose it might help a little; it would be nice to see action, also. Dems are on the wrong track for sure but I’m more than a little disappointed in the Republican party,too.

It would be nice if the Republicans could show a united front. The sad news is the Establishment Republicans have no Backbone. They are no more than Democrat LITE. I truly believe that McConnel wants to stay in the minority where he feels comfortable. I hope that Conservatives and MAGA Republicans can take over and work to get us back to Make America Great Again. MAGA

The conservatives need to condense their values into easy to repeat jingle-type messages. The problem with conservative values is that it requires the ability to understand complicated, ethical ideas that the other side has very effectively demonized by name calling. Our unified platform has to be memorable, and somehow turn the tables on the vilifying of good old American values that the left has convinced people of. We have to get the word out to the masses circumventing the Main Stream Media. And, is it a little too late to be thinking about how to campaign at this stage, anyway? American strength and exceptionalism is circling the drain!

Republicans / Conservatives ( some Republicans are NOT true conservatives ) need to run on the issues that matter to the American people like: Inflation, Gas prices and energy independence, the border, voting security, our schools and what they are teaching our kids, strong military, out of control debt, THE SWAMP ( CORRUPT POLITICIANS- ESPECIALLY THE BIDENS AND CLINTONS, FBI, DOJ, IRS and THE CORRUPT MEDIA AND BIG TECH ) Also need to keep a careful eye on China, the Middle East and stay out of endless wars. Screw all the wokeness, BLM and all the other bullshit. Run on the meat and potatoes issues and constantly fight against the lies and deceit that come from the left and the swamp. The Republicans are an inch away from becoming the REPUBLICRAT PARTY and have been for quite a while. I know this is a lot but Trump had the energy / brains to tackle all this. This current administration is asleep and the President / VP are truly DUMB AND DUMBER, WAY OUT OF THEIR LEAGUE!

It doesn’t seem to MATTER what the GOP decides is ‘our Platform’ to ‘establishment’ or ‘never-whoever’ or pro-Dem RINO Repubs. It’s one thing to ‘say’ you support the Repub Platform – it’s an entire OTHER thing to ‘STAND’ for it when push comes to shove $$$$ and perks come into play in DC. I think the GOP has allowed Dems to infiltrate into the GOP, so we can never be ‘united’ or have a ‘united front’, like Dems have. Dems have it because they ‘all agree’ on ALL their different ‘group desires’. That is what ‘unites’ them. We don’t have that because we are more conscientious than that. We better figure out HOW to unite and STAND for things that the People sent us there to do, under a Republican Platform that the People depend on all its Reps. supporting and standing for! If you haven’t noticed, Dems have taken over – using Fraud and using our DOJ, FBI, CIA, USPS, IRS, colleges, universities, unions, school boards, the DOE, even our Border non-Enforcement agency, and so many other Govt entities!!! while Repubs look the other way, and pretend not to notice or care. Meanwhile our country is being taken over by Dem Radicals and Extremists, while we let ‘our friends across the aisle’ BLAME Repubs. and call US the ‘extremists’ and ‘radicals’!!! This is not looking good. We’re in trouble. When can we expect Repubs. to get in gear and help us fight this tyrant dictatorship that’s forming without ANY opposition! I mean, even a complete list of imbeciles is beating us! every day! while the American People are Suffering under their tyranny and subjectification of the masses. We’re in a Depression the likes of the Great Depression, and our Prez. just foisted upon the Nation higher taxes and an Inflation-lowering Bill that will only Increase Inflation even FASTER!!! Where ARE our GOP Reps. in DC??? And why would America ever expect ‘the next election’ to NOT BE as full of Fraud as the last one was??? Nothing has been done to correct anything! Nothing has been done to get rid of Dominion Software or render it ‘illegal’ for any State to have or buy. This, when several years earlier, even Dems were complaining about Dominion Software and warning about its use, and they KNEW that it was full of ‘fraudulent means’ to fix elections, and they also knew and warned about ‘mail-in voting’ as a Fraud mechanism – but not any more! But none of this has been brought to anyone’s attention, and everything just goes on ‘as usual’, when it is anything BUT ‘usual’ at all. Your citizens are getting riled up at all these things, and it’s NOT about Trump. We love Trump because he actually FIXED things in Govt., and that’s exactly WHY the Dems alternatively HATE Trump – and are threatened by him. He makes them all look to be ‘irrelevant’ when he fixed so many things all DC had been ‘working on’ for DECADES before he got there. And THAT’s why we want him back in DC. He wasn’t through. He was just beginning. And HE loved the People of America, AND America’s heritage he worked so hard to preserve.

I just love it when Republicans are labelled as: conservative, establishment, Trumpians, Never Trumpers, etc., etc., etc. I have been a Republican since I was 17. The grass roots efforts of Republicans in every state I’ve ever lived in has to do with electing COMPETENT representatives who focus on:

  • defending this country from threats both foregin and domestic: Eilitist power grabs, border protection, threats against our country, our businesses, industries and infrastructure.
  • AFFIRMING AND DEFENDING THE SOVERIEGNTY OF THE U.S. and U.S. CITIZENS
  • protecting individual rights & freedoms,
  • defending the constitution,
  • defending state rights,
  • cutting taxes, and
  • getting federal spending under control, i.e. balancing the Federal budget.

No matter what else comes out of the mouths of politicians or the media, these are the priorities and values we talk about at meetings, on the front porch, at trade lots, and after church.

I guess the difference really comes down to the arm chair Republican and the active Republican. One is talking about it in a divisive manner, the other is doing something about it by talking about it in an inclusive manner.

We all have our individual nuances about one thing or another, but when the rubber hits the road, and things have to get done, then UNITED WE STAND is the motto that represents the consistency of the party values and the foundation to whatever outcomes occur in this country.

Even armchair Republicans can:
VOLUNTEER ON ELECTION DAY AT YOUR LOCAL BOARD OF ELECTION!
VOLUNTEER FOR THE CADIDATE THAT NEEDS HELP GETTING HIS/HER NAME OUT THERE!
PUT UP A YARD SIGN!
MAKE PHONE CALLS TO ASK FOR THE VOTE!

Most important-
***VOTE!***

The Republicans putting out a “platform” is IMPOSSIBLE. Conservative Republicans have a completely different belief system than the establishment Republicans. The Washington DC Republicans, who only pretend to reside in “home states”, like McConnell, Romney, et al, are more closely aligned with the DC Democrats than their voters in “flyover country”. Conservative Republicans will NOT be in control of Congress no matter how big the landslide is in the midterms.

I have had a growing sense that many career republicans in the Congress are comfortable with being the proverbial underdog or feign being a martyr as it takes less effort than standing out front and leading. This is why we need younger generation blood in the Congress because the professional pols my age (70) and older have lost momentum.

Haven’t read a single comment (and they may be out there, just haven’t seen them) about the most effective way to squelch the hunger for power – TERM LIMITS. There needs to be a big push to find reasonable limits. They should be long enough to allow for effective understanding of the system, yet force politicians to go back home and be average citizens again. NO paid speaking engagements while in office; no special privileges unless DIRECTLY related to position responsibilities; and NO FOREVER PAYCHECKS.
A party willing to publicly support these ideas will be demonstrating a desire to serve, rather than be served.

Everyone keeps talking about the next election as if they have forgotten the massive amount of fraud in the last election…..and they got away with it. Most Republicans were content to just move along and pretend it didn’t happen, or at least were unwilling to fight. What makes people think that they won’t have another crooked election? Republican politicians need to first be real Republicans, and then they need to grow a backbone. Most of all, both sides should remember, God is still in charge.

This election is ripe for Republican commitments. Here’s the list: (1) State the causes of inflation and their legislative solutions, (2) State their solutions to close and control the southern border of the U. S., (3) State how they plan to strengthen the U. S. military for a significantly more capable counter to the duel threat of China and Russia (3) Provide a long term plan for an alternative to the Democrats rush through a Green New Deal, (4) Provide policies and money to bring law, order, and peace back to our U. S. cities, (5) Provide a legislative solution to quick pull-back of manufacture of all goods that America uses and needs from China, (6) Fix the Social Security and Medicare revenue shortfalls for both the short term and long term, and (7) Ensure that all the annual appropriation and authorization bills pass the Congress by mid-September, and (8) Focus the Congress on doing their necessary business of running the country and stop spending the tiem of Congress bashing people in the administration.

Look what the “Contract with America” did. I would love to see another “Contract with America” that simply stated what the Republicans would do if in control of Congress. Then ask all running for Congress to sign it. If the RINOs refused to sign, kick them out of the party.

Strong yes to Republican platform: Voters need to know what Republicans plan to do & will they remain Partisan or try to unite USA citizens as they were prior to Obama / Trump terms. Will they represent all Americans & not just Republicans & will they accept election results in the future ???

Senator Mcconnell seems to be of the mind that it’s best to continue to remind the voters of the Dems bad job and not put issues on the table that give the dems the opportunity to change the subject. However, in today’s political climate, people want to know what the Repubs stand for. Mlaybe a good compromise is to start showing plans when we’re closer to the Nov voting deadlines. I, personally, would like to see the repubs run on and emphasize the so called MAGA policies.

The Republicans have already been laying out their plans but many people only watch the biased fake news. Apparently they and the Democrats keep saying the the Conservatives have no plan because they always lie. So if they purposely go out there and say exactly what they will do, it may squelch some of their lying. Really, all the Conservatives need to do is simply reverse anything that Biden and his comrades have thrown upon us!

It is essential that the Republican party inform the citizenry of their platform prior to the midterms. This list of ideas should be patterned after the “Contract with American” plan that Newt Gingrich employed in the 1990s. These conservative ideas must be pro-American, no nonsense practical solutions to reversing the disastrous and anti-American policies of the illegitimate Biden Administration.

CONSERVATIVES!

Run on what you stand FOR.

Today’s attack ads are so sickeningly inaccurate, it’s no wonder most voter turnouts have been dismal for years. These ads take a grain of truth and redefine the context into something that can NEVER be proven in a courtroom.

Run on what you stand FOR.

People want to know that YOU (the candidate) support their (the legal voter’s) beliefs, values, and morality. They already know what they don’t support, so don’t waste money on attack ads; put that money into accurate voting record publications, if you must.

Run on what you stand FOR and prove it with your voting and/or speaking record.

I voted for number one, but the reality is the country is going down the tube. It’s already so far down, I think there is nothing that can save us short of another revolution and civil war. Will Edwinson wrote an interesting novel in 2015 about such a scenario entitled SHADOW REVOLUTION. It’s available at amazon.com in both print and e-book versions. It’s an intriguing tale that may not be too far-fetched except, perhaps, for the science fiction part. But then again in this space age we live in, that may not be all that far-fetched either.

Absolutely no platform prior to the fall election. Those who want to agree to a “list” of things simply do NOT understand politics. The Democrats are against the ropes and it is the Republicans election to lose. There is no political reason under the Sun to give the Dems ammunition in the form of a platform.

The “Fake News” Media is as big a problem was the “Fake American” Politicians. Hold them All accountable for their Lies and the Fake News Media especially need to be called on the carpet for lying, denying the Truth, and for erasing the real News so that the American Public cannot, and does not see it – so they cannot be informed about what is really happening in the world.

Republicans tend to be free thinkers, but can’t seem to narrow their good ideas down enough to convince other Republicans to coalesce around them. Hence there are handfuls of good ideas that aren’t backed and too many RINOS sabotaging them by voting with Demonrats because they have no faith in the strength of the party. The only thing the Demonrats have in their favor is a stupidly fierce loyalty to even a sick and twisted cause, one we are currently opposing. We desperately need term limits and strong conservatives to join the “Republican” group.

There isn’t a politician in America who is concerned about America; it is all about getting elected so you can get filthy rich doing nothing to help anyone but yourself. I am sick to death of being battered by so many requests to buy another election. What ever happened to getting elected on merits, honesty, and integrity?

Sadly I think there are too many democrat minded people in the Republican party to actually make a difference. Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words. Look how many lean right when the wind if favorable and as soon as it changes lean left and go silent. In my opinion ANY Republican that votes for higher taxes, more government programs/ interference in our lives or abortion, and is not a LOUD proponent of voter reform is a donkey wearing an elephant suit…..

In a recent speech/rally, Pres. Trump had laid out 47 policy issues The GOP slate should be qustioned on each of these, at every chance. AMAC should ask them all for their take on these 47 points. Then tell us. May be too late to dump some GOP names, but for sure these names can be made to face primaries in ’24. And so it should go. As Pres. Trump said in a fundraising e-mail -we must destroy the Democrat/Marxist Party.

We have seen this show before. The republicans will tell us what we want to hear, just enough to get the votes they want. The republicans will likely get a significant wave into power. They proceed to do nothing meaningful. Very few republicans actually care about what people like us want. While they blame democrats, not enough republicans are actually seeing what is happening. All of the money to support COVID tyranny, Ukraine, and whatever is next. They will say they don;’t have enough votes to do anything. We most certainly need another contract for America. We need clear legislation that we can hold republicans accountable for. All of the printing of money and billions to Ukraine, COVID, etc. is a huge tax on us all, especially if you are on a fixed income.
