Exactly right, but it will never happen.

Dick’s been at the hooch again.

I’m sure the Captain of the Titanic would have jumped at the offer, had he known what lie ahead.

It’s important for the ship to go down with as many of the miscreant crew on board as possible as a warning to others.

WHAT Republican leaders?

[Recovering_Democrat]

The result is that the party’s “brand” has become a negative, to an extent greater than in the Watergate era, perhaps worse than in the days of Herbert Hoover.

Are you kidding me? Such statements show a stunning lack of knowledge about history. Republicans are indeed tainted right now--fairly in some cases, unfairly in others. But we are NOT at a historic low. The days of the Great Depression and the Watergate Era were much, much worse for conservatism.

Now, could we be HEADED in that direction? Yes, if our party doesn't get its head on straight.

[avacado]

The Democrats have firm principled beliefs. What motivates most Republican leaders? Nothing except a craving for power. What do Republicans offer voters? Nothing except “Elect us because we’re not Democrats.”

Yeah riiiiight!!!

my favorite part, Thanks Richard!

The hard work of the last 50 years by millions of conservative campaign workers, donors, candidates, writers, intellectuals, and activists has been trashed.

The conservative movement has been set back 10-20 years – possibly even permanently – by politicians consumed by power, including but certainly not limited to Denny Hastert, Tom DeLay, John Boehner, Roy Blunt, Mitch McConnell, Trent Lott, George W. Bush, Karl Rove, party chairman Mike Duncan, and their friends.

Some deserve more of the blame than others, but they are all part of a party Establishment that has brought the party down.

For things to change, for conservatives to be justified in giving our contributions, our volunteer efforts, our energy, and votes to the GOP, the party must clean house. The party leadership should resign immediately.

Let all those here who lambaste conservatism and embrace “pragmatism” in the guise of moderation suck on that one for a minute..

[liberty or death]

I just sent the RNC a letter stating how they have lost my entire family as voters as well as all of our donations.

It’s like this giant ship with no captain and all of the 1st mates fighting for the top seat, and no one who is truly qualifed will be considered. “Almost Democrats” only need apply!

[ex-snook]

The ‘leaders’ who nodded as Bush as approval kept descending have some answers due.

LOL!!! Obviously, he's been reading the Team Juan paid shillings posted, hereabouts!

BUMPed for The Truth!!!

True.

But these guys weren't the Establishment all their lives.

Some of them started out as rebels or mavericks.

And they ended up pretty much as all party oligarchies do, given enough time.

It's the way things always turn out, the way of the world, more than anything else.

It's still their fault, but there are limits to what one can expect from politics and people who become politicians.

[Valpal1]

Rush should read this on the air. Absolutely correct.

[paudio]

This is like communists saying, “all capitalists must give their money to the poor.” It’s just an empty call.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Resign, you say???

[Amendment10]

Republican leaders in the White House, the Congress, and the Republican National Committee and its affiliates, along with most Republican leaders at the state level, have failed – or outright betrayed – the conservative voters who put them in their positions.

While I won't deny that there's some truth in the above statement, given that it is undoubtedly pro-Obama propaganda by the MSM, why don't we do the following? Why don't we seize the opportunity provided by the MSM's shoving of Obama down our throats to permanently de-claw the IRS?

This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Senator Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.

Obama, a big-shot federal spender

The people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.

The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.

Time to start afresh with principled conservatism. What we got now makes me sick.

"The Democrats have firm principled beliefs."

Vocabulary test for the day: Which word does NOT belong in the above quote? (Hint: it's italicized.)

[pallis]

The Republican Party will have several years of nothing much to do but think of what they will have to do to win in 2012.

[Grunthor]

The number of new Republican voters is flat while Democratic voter registration is skyrocketing.

Contributions to GOP candidates and Republican parties are way off, while donations to Democrats are setting records.

In primaries, votes for Republican candidates at all levels are running far behind the Democrats.

Juanito is gonna get his rear end handed to him in November.

I can think of no other RINO that deserves it more.

Democratic voter registration is skyrocketing

The parasite mentality has finally won.
