Opinion of Nelson Rockefeller

[RINO Tom]

He really wasn't even good as a governor even though Atlas Republicans seem to think he was for some reason?

No. Atlas Democrats do.

LOL, no they don't.

FF, though far from perfect.

We, as a modern American political spectrum, can agree that this guy was horrible and it's a good thing we've left his sort back in the past.

Speak for yourself.  I'll take a pro-civil rights Rockefeller over the hick trash that gets to define "conservative" today...

Mega-HP. Thankfully, his kind are in the party where they belong.

The GOP?  I agree, bro.

hick trash

lmao

Call it what you will, I really don't care.  Self-described "populists" belittle and demean normal Republicans 24/7.  If dishing it back makes me an elitist or an idiot or oblivious or mean or whatever in some's eyes, I'll deal with that.

But those people are the 'normal' Republicans.

Says who?  Them?  Liberals who have a vested interest in making the GOP look as bad as possible?

It's very unlikely that you're from a social strata that Rockefeller wouldn't have regarded as the equivalent of "hick trash," although that's no guarantee that he would not have taken the first possible opportunity to sleep with your wife...

This is an odd statement to make only four years after Mitt Romney won the nomination of a Republican Party chaired by Reince Priebus. As much as we talk about how the Republican Party was reborn in the image of Goldwater's conservatism, Ronald Reagan is the only nominee since 1964 who hasn't had more in common with descendants of the Rockefeller faction.

LOL, fair enough on both.  I guess I'd rather be constantly complaining about elitism in my party than the lack of it.  I don't expect this to carry much weight, but if anyone here knew me, they'd know that something is seriously wrong with the GOP if I'm complaining that it's not "elitist" enough (and I pretty much mean unapologetically anti-intellectual).
