For the record, nobody is asking anybody for money. This series is about recruiting and electing people with political views that are similar to those of Ronald Reagan and the Founders. This effort will be even more effective if our candidates take the seats held by RINO's instead of seats already in the hands of conservatives. And if this targeting is part of a formally announced strategy, it will be effective even against RINO's that have not yet been targeted; after all, they will recognize they could be next. You will be amazed at how many moderate or even liberal Republicans will adopt conservative views when they realize they could be targeted for defeat.
The same targeting strategy will work against Democrats as well. By getting our conservative candidates to run specifically against the most liberal Democrats, it will only take a few victories by our candidates to convince the remaining liberal Democrats that they don't want to be next.
The unseating of only a couple of RINO's could have a dramatic effect on the RINO's remaining in office. It will probably take more than a couple of defeats to convince liberal Democrats, but each seat that falls will register much louder on remaining incumbent Democrats. When nobody wants to be the next target, the impact of defeating only a few socialists, could have a dramatic effect on the behavior of other incumbent socialists. And less obvious, but still a factor, it will have an effect on new candidates seeking office.
"Frankly, I think FR does a better job getting action than this person or persons."
Better is a relative term and does not necessarily represent praiseworthy merit, as in "better than nothing". For the record, government and socialism have grown continuously despite the best efforts of giants like President Reagan and Newt Gingrich. At best, all conservatives, all Republicans, and yes, all Freepers combined, have only succeeded in slowing the rate of growth of government and socialism. And in spite of everybody's best efforts, the costs of socialism are set in law to begin growing significantly in the fall of 2008 when the boomers start becoming eligible to draw Social Security instead of paying into it. Worse, the costs of socialism will begin to grow exponentially when the boomers start becoming eligible for Medicare.
For the record, all democracies end in bankruptcy or hyperinflation whenever the public learns to vote itself benefits from the public treasury. For the record, Gokhale and Smetters have estimated the excess of cost over and above revenue for Social Security and Medicare to be an amount that is roughly equivalent to the current total estimated private net worth of the United States. For the record, how can this shortfall be funded in view of the following realities?
The record is that total spending in the United States (all governments, all corporations, all businesses, and all individuals) has exceeded total income for the past two years and the annual shortfall is increasing. All this is true with the "good economy" that we have enjoyed. The excess of spending now totals more than $2.5 billion dollars every day. This is money that we have to borrow from foreigners to meet our current cash flow needs. The Comptroller of the Currency is on record stating that our economy has never grown at a rate that would be needed to fund the excess liabilities of Social Security and Medicare for the boomers. Where exactly, is the money going to come from when the boomers are drawing benefits instead of paying into the system and add an additional need for $1.5 trillion every year?
Socialism is unconstitutional. Will you take The Pledge?
