    Big tent? (none / 0) (#32)
    by midlandrepublican on Mon Sep 21, 2009 at 03:42:40 PM EST
    What happened to my Republican Party? It used to be the party of the big tent. Sadly, if you don't work in a blue-collar job, drive a pick-up truck, or have a plumber's crack when you bend over, support Palin, you aren't welcome in many of the party's circles. How can the Democrats get along with pro-lifers such as Stupak and still tolerate lefties, blacks, Hispanics, environmentalists, labor union members, Hollywood actors, Ivory Tower elitists, and Catholics?

    Why can't my Republican Party be the party of opportunity; the party of educated men and women, young professionals, cultural and social conservatives, libertarians, businessmen, academics, environmentally-conscious citizens, and others? Instead, certain folks are trying to make it the party of a tiny minority.

    I am conservative, but I'm also an individualist and I won't blindly follow what others say just because that's the way it is.
