Don’t give me that DU crap! It’s easy to sit back and bitch and then do nothing.... if people get off their doufuous then we could make a difference, saying we have to form a new party is defeatism and why we have a one-party rule right now.

It is ALL out responsibilities how they have strayed off the reservation.  I am not responsible for the actions of anyone but my own.

How many people here have taken the time to call, email or fax even ONE communication to their representatives over the stimulus bill — or anything else???  Many people have done this.

Passivity is why we are where we are...  No.  We are here because we voted Republicans into office, and those Republicans have shirked their duty to remain faithful to Conservatism.

I have no use for the democratic party, but they are the poster child for activism,...  Have you ever asked yourself why?  If you were as "active" as you say you are, you would know that the left pays union members to carry out party activity.  I've run into them on the street, on the clock.  I run into college kids who are out there getting class credit.  I run into people who are obviously fronting for subversive organizations, so far off the beaten track that is highly unlikely they hold down a job.  The Republicans haven't been gulity of providing government funds to organizations like ACORN.  So yes, the Democrats are the poster child for something, bit it isn't common activism.  It's more like criminal activity.

the GOP — Well they do things like come on FR and complain and do nothing...  Are you unhappy that Republicans come here?  Are you unhappy that Conservatives come here?  Are you unhappy that they are unhappy, and that they express that here?  I'm active.  I come here.  Coming here and expressing our opinions, is not doing nothing, in and of itself.  People who want to know what Conservatives think come here.  And they see that true Conservatives are very unhappy with what is taking place within our party.  Frankly, that's something that is very important.  I don't want the public thinking that we're all pleased as punch with the party leadership or the Republican Reps we have in W., D.C. right now.  Would you like to have folks come here and see nothing but glowing comments about the Republican Party and it's representatives these days?

where is OUR move-on.org???  Surely you jest...

We don’t have one because we haven’t demanded one, we are too busy saying we are just leaving the GOP!  With the performance of the RNC nationally and in regard to many state leaderships, who could blame Republicans for being righteously upset with the party right now?  Who could fault them for thinking the party is dead to them?  Who could fault them for being pissed off enough to want to leave the party?  You may not think that is the best idea, but insulting people who are at their wits end with the party, is like shooting yourself in the head.  They come here to vent, and you tell them they are fools.  One of the few places where a Conservative can go to vent to other Conservatives, and you trash them for doing it.

If you think good solid Conservatives are wrong to be contemplating leaving the party, then you have a screw loose.  I don't think it's the right path to take, but I certain identify with folks who think the Republican Party leaders should basically (figuratively) be taken out and shot.  I plan on urging them to join me in the process of replacing RINOs.  I plan on coming to your state next year to help you folks replace John McCain.  I suspect others will join in.  Now, do you want to continue to trash them so bad, that they drop out and go on about their lives somewhere they won't be insulted by thoughtless people like you?
