    I was excited to get an invitation to the Oakland GOP Lincoln day until I found out who was the speaker.  Governor John Huntsman of Utah supports civil unions and talks about moderating the party. This is not the way to go.

    Moderates lose and conservatives win.  That's why Democrats are recruiting conservative Democrats to win seats all over Michigan.

    Oakland GOP can't go moderate or we will lose.  Really disappointed with the Oakland GOP and I think a message needs to be sent that we can't run as moderates.

    WTF!? (none / 0) (#1)

    Have we not learned?

    What is going on? The hilarious thing is the Oakland GOP has held several functions aimed how "how we win again" and all of them come out with the same answer: we need to return to our conservative message.

    Nationally, the GOP has said "we have lost our voice, credibility on conservative issues...

    In the State we all know what happens when Republicans raise taxes... Republican lose.

    I love how the moderates claim we need to broaden our message?

    Lets look to the polls rather than political pundits.
    MCRI - passes w/ 60% of the vote and Republicans stayed mute on the issue.
    DOMA - passes w/ 58% of the vote and most Republicans stayed mute on the issue.
    Eliminating Partial Birth Abortion - passes w/ 58% of the vote

    Maybe I'm crazy but there seems to be well more than 50.1% of the voting population in favor of conservative ideas that our party used to adhere too.

    WTF.

    (btw I'm not attending Oakland's dinner or Kalamazoo's dinner).

    Conservative ideas win Michigan (none / 0) (#2)

    Couldn't agree with conservative fox more!  Defense of Marriage Act passed with huge support and it abolished civil unions!  Michigan Civil Rights initiative passed with a huge margin and barely any elected officials except Mike Cox and Leon Drolet supported it!  In fact, Cox is the only candidate running for Governor that supported all 3 conservative initiatives loudly and proudly--MCRI, DOMA and Partial-birth ban and he won the state in 2006 with a huge margin!

    When are we going to stop running from conservative ideas and realize real conservatives win!  

    What is going on with all this open tent talk?  Rick Snyder supports civil unions and embryonic stem cell and is trying to buy the primary.  No way!   Last December, Terri Land goes to Palm Beach of all places and says the lesson of 2008 is to make the GOP a big-tent party which would not have conservative values and remove the pro-life, pro-family platform of the party.  

    And why is the lesson of 2008 that we weren't big tent, moderate enough?  Mr. Moderate John McCain (pro-civil union; pro-stem cell; pro-immigration) was our nominee!

    We don't have to change the party to win elections!  We have to have real candidates who can articulate why they are conservative! Shame on any county that brings Huntsman's message as the guiding message!

    Kent County Did the Right Thing--will Oakland? (none / 0) (#5)

    It looks like Kent County GOP did the right thing and cancelled the speech with Gov Huntsman because of his support of civil unions.  Will Oakland County do the same?  Over 60% of the MI public opposed civil unions on the DOMA initiative.  Will Oakland County support the will of the people and cancel this event?
