Come on Jim, quit beating around the bush...

(I hate having to read between the lines to figure out what someone is saying, you;re almost as ad as a politician these days.)

I would not add a word to that summation Jim.

Hooah.

[freekitty]

Me too.

[BlueNgold]

Man I wish I would learn to read these things before I hit post...

“I think that he [Russell Kirk] would have said; “hey look; every age has its convulsions. It’s the challenge to the conservative eye to detect that which you desire to save as distinguished from that which you very much want to get rid of...” - William F Buckley Jr.

McCain was and is weak, I refused to vote for another big government Republican as I did with Bush. McCain was nothing more that Obama in drag and would have stabbed us in the back in the end. Conservative does not mean Republican.

Notice:

Anyone who looks like, quacks like, waddles like, squawks like, thinks like, votes like Benedict Arnold Specter is a RINO. RINOs are traitors! Traitors beware!! Judgment day is here!!

[Steve Van Doorn]

Also if you remember believe it not Obama's tax reductions made him look more conservative then Obama.

For the ill informed you had it both ways the more conservative and more liberal candidate all rolled up into 'the one.'

Geez, Jim:

That was an utterly strident, passionate and entirely useless reply.

With the influence you and this forum have to martial, the question remains, “what do we do for the mid-term elections?”

Wondering how all the anti-Republican "I'm not gonna vote for McCain" folks think about about what they got?

I'm wondering how all the arrogant GOP "leaders," that foisted one of the most despised Republicans onto the electorate as the presidential nominee, feel about their theory that "of course they'll vote for him. Where else are they going to go?"

Note to RNC: When you hear your base cry year after year "I will not vote for that SOB," believe them!

I wonder who pissant supported for POTUS in the ‘08 GOP Presidential Primary?

[Steve Van Doorn]

Also if you remember believe it not Obama's tax reductions made him look more conservative then *McCain*.

Correction

Probably Romney LOL

“what do we do for the mid-term elections?”

Three things.

One, purge RINOs. McCain is up in 2010.

Two, elect, or re-elect, real, genuine conservatives. DeMint is up in 2010. The whole House is up for grabs, too. Re-elect Bachmann and McClintock, for starters.

Three, and finally, place your trust in the Almighty. Pray, and trust, that Providence will smile upon our cause.

You’re either a fire breathing, hard as nails, no nonsense, take no prisoners, proven pro-life, pro-gun, pro-borders, pro-small government, pro-America conservative in both word and DEED or you do NOT get my vote, my endorsement or my support!!

Hear! Hear!

[Jim Robinson]

Vote ‘em out!

OPERATION RINO STOMP

Wonder how all the liberal republicans, we will force you to vote for McCain like what they got.

[Just mythoughts]

Your point being? I said prior to election 2008 that I would NEVER vote for the fit throwing self aggrandizing lord McCain.... However, when he plucked Sarah out of that vast wild wilderness I ate my words and voted for Sarah.

So take your Arlen Spector muck and go back to where you came from.

“Get the answer you’re looking for yet?”

You’re the guy or gal who appealed to the moderator to move the question to chat.

No. I haven’t yet gotten the answer I’m looking for and if it is the answer I might follow as advice, I might follow the suggested answer.

I think a lot of us are looking to something in the aftermath of Conservative’s failure to preserve some semblance of power and influence . . . which FreeRepublic surrendered to.

For all the Gomer Pyle comments made in this thread, the effective, power question remains, “What do we do to win the mid-term elections?”
