How do FreeRepublic Conservatives recover ground for their Presidential retreat?

Let’s ask the experts:

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.
- John Quincy Adams -

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
- Abraham Lincoln -

Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God.
- George Washington

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!

Heh---beautiful.

The punkeos leashed up McC----AFTER the loser punks couldn't get their boy Giuliani arrested---he was that bad of a candidate.

Rooty spend $63 nillion and got one delegate that he shared----he obsessively ran in every primary/caucus state and lost time after time. The lisping hunchback SAID he was saving himself for Fla---campaigned there 63 days straight and came in a distant third.

And now------The Winner of the 2008 Best Election Night Performance Award in the category of:
"Neos Know Nothing About this Republican Disaster."

Billy Kristol (McC campaign mastermind)

"Thank you very much. But I could not have done it without the help of all the
punkeos--David Frum, Michael Gerson, David Brooks, Richard Perle.....and
my Dearest Daddy."

"Sniffle---my Dearest Daddy (who was Giuliani's foreign policy advisor) said,
"The historical task and political purpose of neoconservatism is.....to convert the
Republican Party and American conservatism in general, against their
respective wills, into a new kind of conservative politics suitable to
governing a modern democracy."

"Sob."

"I especially want to thank punkneo Douglas Feith for faking documents on his
home computer so we punkneos could dupe the president."

"Without Doug we would not have been able to transfer trillions of US dollars
into the Mideast, into the pockets of war profiteers, which enabled Richard Perle
to startup an oil business in Iraq with his cut."

Kristol smirked: "Making Iraq safe for Perle's oil business with US tax dollars was truly a noble punkneo effort."

==============================================

COMMENTS The 2008 political entrail readings showed the crucial conservative base stayed home. Too bad the pukes "forget" to tell McC that would be one outcome of the punkneo-RINO bi-partisanship. Be aware that many senior neocons are rank opportunists who squatted in the Repub Party for their selfish stealth purposes-----they are actually former Trotskyites that flew the coop when Stalin executed their hero.

AS FREEPER TADSLOS COGENTLY POSTED: "People forget that candy-ass Kristol, and his crony, metro-sexual Brooks are the original makeover artists for McCain post-2000. They are McC's original groomers and media switch operators.....obsessed with religious cleansing of the party. Kristol at his most smirkiest---urging McCain to fire his 2008 staff, to start all over at the 11th hour, as McC's numbers tanked. Shows how how ill-conceived, advised, equipped and poorly managed McC's campaign was. But then, what else to expect from a Republican candidate made up of neopunks Kristol and Brooks." Kristol championed McCain early on calculatingly "supporting" Palin only to gauge the political winds.

Watching Kristol smirking and squirming in his Fox seat election night as McC lost was a consolation prize to this abortion of a losing 2008 election cycle.

LOL, I do the same thing, LOL

“What do we do to win the mid-term elections?”

Reject RINOs and stop abusing conservatives. If the GOP doesn't want us, they need to root around in their panties and find the stones to say so outright.

[VinL]

believe is in store for us during the mid-term elections?
****************8
Unfortunately, the Establishment GOP will likely pick up seats.

Unfortunate because,while Obama/Dems are the express train on the statist/globalst track, the establishment GOP political class is driving the “local” on the same track.

Either way, we arrive at the same destination.

Kristol and his bud Fred Barnes need to move on with Spector.

[AvOrdVet]

Likewise. Never again.

Mega-Ditto.

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?”

What are YOU going to do, genius? And cease with using phrases such as "effective power question", you appear silly.

[Just mythoughts]

I did not forget who lord McCain's make up and over artist have been.

However I am getting really tired of these high minded moderates posting stupid vanities as though they are above US all asking stupid questions about how Conservatives ‘feel’, as if the intent was real concern.

[Red_Devil 232]

Yep! Once McLame chose Sarah she was he reason I voted for her - not him!

[calcowgirl]

Let’s ask the experts:

Another expert, Ronald Reagan:

" We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle
just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the
same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party
over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all."

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers."

Same here, I voted in the primary, not for McCain of course and did not plan to vote in the general for presidential candidate until that day Sarah entered the campaign.

And again I have had enough of these Arlen Spector Republicans crying in their hankies, pointing their accusing fingers of accusation that the conservative are the blame for Bamanation.

[I Shall Endure]

My emphasis now is on presenting a Christian witness, rather than on political activism. We live in a country where the majority prefers good to evil. Our politics is a reflection of that. If we can awaken hearts and minds to Jesus a political realignment will follow as a matter of course. Without it, it doesn’t matter what we do.

[DainBramage]

McCain would have done almost the same things and for onolhy 4 years.

Im more worried about the Libertarians are going to split the party again and we'll have Obama for 8.

Its time to clean the GOP house and start over, not do a third party.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"What do these same . . . true believers . . . believe is in store for us during the mid-term elections?"

Think of crapping a bowling ball wrapped in barbed wire.

[TADSLOS]

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

Congratulations. You're keenly observant.

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.

You make disparaging remarks against conservatives for voting on principle and not voting the liberal GOP party line and you expect an honest answer to a loaded question? That's disingenuous.

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.

"A lot of us"? LOL!

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?”

Who is "we"?

[SeattleBruce]

“Mid-term elections, Jim?”

As to 2010, I think conservatives everywhere should support true conservatives in the Republican party. I think at the state level (which could include select blue states), we should support 3rd party (The Tea Party!) or independent conservatives that buck the RINO Republicans, where ever they are found.

[Leto]

I voted for Palin. The truth is that over the preceding years the Republicans Ruled mostly as RINO’s. Bush did fine with the WOT & the tax cut, beyond that his administration was a total mess. He let the pubbie congress spent $$ like a group of drunken liberals.

If they had governed according to conservative principals they would still control congress and the Presidency.

McCain stunk as a candidate. Now we are stuck with a Socialist due to the pubbies ruling as RINO’s rather than conservatives.

Even now a lot of these morons want to move to the left.
