Bring back the pre-1964 Republican Party

[TheOldSchool]

They opposed social conservatism and supported the free market and American exceptionalism for over 100 years. Why did they go away?!

 

[SYTFE]

Not hysterical enough for the modern day conservative temperment.

There is a war with the social justice warriors. The nation divided until it split.

I know but what happened? For a century and more the republican party was NOT "conservative." They embraced equality and supported a free market where all could compete equally! WTF HAPPENED?????!!!!

FUCK THE MODERN REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT PARTIES!!!!!!!!!!

We're actually winning a lot of local elections. But conservatism really hasn't won anything nationally for quite some time.
ie Bush. Bush was not conservative.

Yeah, it's a good question. Decades of angry right wing talk radio, Fox News and now crazed right wing extremists running blogs have turned the GOP into something totally antithetical to what it once was.

Ya mean haters like Eisenhower who rounded up illegals like cattle

They the establishment GOP, all they did was pass earmarks and backroom deals. They're part of what has fucked this country up...

A Hitlary supporter calling for "free market," that's classic. You're a Trump supporter, so you say, he doesn't support free markets either. Oh wait, you're a Johnson supporter too ...

That's a very interesting point you make. I'm going to have to think about that for a bit.

Of course Bush was conservative.

Who are you supporting again? Is it Trump, Hitlary or Johnson again this week?

Not sure which one you're referring to, but neither Bush was conservative, not at all

Basically, yup. Devious elements discovered that avenues to power lay in manipulating emotions at the expense of intellect.
I wish Bill Buckley could have come back from the dead and score a keynote spot at the party convention. He'd have some choice correctionals to lay down.

They should have nominated Margaret Chase Smith in '64.

Lee Harvey Oswald changed both parties and the country with a single bullet. Killing Kennedy opened the door for LBJ. LBJ ran against Goldwater who was a true Conservative. When LBJ defeated Goldwater that changed the course of the GOP. LBJ then went on to change the course of the Democratic Party.

I think you're giving Oswald --- or whoever he represents --- way too much credit.

Are you saying JFK wouldn't have had the balls to push the CRA like Johnson did? No pun intended there, it's his name...
It was after all JFK's project.

Don't see how Goldwater "changed the course" of the RP either. LBJ had a huge sympathy vote; that was going to be a hill to climb for any opponent. The next round they went back to Nixon -- who was also their candidate in the previous round. Seems more like Goldwater was a temporary deviation.

We didn't go away. We are being subjugated because of Obama/liberal hate.
The creation of social media has given the minority the voice & power of the majority. They scream the loudest. Simple as that

Opposed social Conservativism?

LOL

Everyone in America was a social conservative in 1964 compared to today.

Sorry, he was a big spending progressive... Please educate yourself.

Bring back the pre-southern strategy, pre-Reaganist, mainly pre-propaganda GOP. This is what happens with hate propaganda. Con man Trump and loudmouth deplorable morons...The Eastern Establishment GOP has been taken over by this disgrace...Father Coughlin was nothing in comparison...
