I'd like to address the following post to conservative Republicans, those who voted for Senator McCain in 2008 and are feeling despondent over the loss to Barak Obama. Folks, "the fix was in", and it WOULDN'T have made much of a difference. I'm going to show you why. The same people who fund, organize and promote the radical agendas of the left have been doing it on both sides of the aisle for years. There isn't much more than a donkey's butt-hair of a difference between McCain and Obama, except in the speed and extent that the radical agenda would have been implemented. At least, with Obama, YOU FOLKS are WAKING UP to what it is. Well let me wake you up a little MORE to what REPUBLICAN RINO McCain and his sidekick Joe Lieberman have been up to, and how it relates to what Pelosi, Reid and Obama have been up to.
Did you know :
...... that "In 2001, Senators John McCain (Republican) and Bob Kerry (Democrat) founded the Alexandria, VA based Reform Institute as a vehicle to receive funding from George Soros's Open Society Institute, as well as other leftist non profit organizations?" (Jerome Corsi, America for Sale) Yes folks, Soros funds McCain TOO. But that's not all. Its worse, much much worse.
Now, why would a Republican Senator with presidential ambitions accept funding from likes of the Tides Foundation, Theresa Heinz Kerry's favorite charity? This list of Tides grants tells you all you need to know about THAT: "ACLU, ACORN, Center for American Progress, Center for Constitutional Rights (a communist front,) CAIR, Earth Justice, Institute for Policy Studies (KGB spy nest), National Lawyers Guild (oldest communist front in U.S.), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and practically every other radical group there is. ACORN's Wade Rathke runs a Tides subsidiary, the Tides Center." (from "Barak Obama and the Strategy for Manufactured Crisis" , James Simpson, The American Thinker, September 28,2008)
... that Arianna Huffington, radical leftist, syndicated columnist and creator of the HuffingtonPost.com, has served on the Reform Institute's advisory committee since the group's inception?
Less well known is the fact that Arianna's former husband, Michael Huffington, was an early activist with the Natural Resources Defense Council, a New York City based leftist environmental organization that was also funded by Soros' Open Society Institute and Kerry's "Tides Foundation", among others. But more importantly is Michael Huffington's long history as a REPUBLICAN, all the while hiding everything from the bisexuality which resulted in divoce at his "coming out" in 1998, to his promotion of the Lesbian Bi Gay Transgendered (LBGT) activist group, involved in the formation of the homosexual Log Cabin Republicans, and executive producer of a movie purporting to "reconcile homosexuality with a literal reading of the scriptures", "For the Bible Tells Me So", aired at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007. All that with the full knowledge and support of his still much beloved wife Arianna who knew of his bisexuality, etc. since BEFORE they were married. And folks, nothing in the HuffPO would indicate that she is no less of a pervert supporter now than ever. Sound like an agenda to you? With Republicans like the Huffingtons as "advisors" to John McCain, who needs Democrats? But I digress....
..... that the mission of the Reform Institute was to make America more "resilient", but in ways that would benefit John McCain and the LEFT? Resilient in what way?
In addition to all of what I've already discussed, the Institute bills itself as a "'a thoughtful, moderate voice for reform in the campaign finance and election administration debates". One wonders then, why someone who so vociferous about campaign finance corruption refused to disclose the names of his donors on Form 990? Who was the anonymous donor listed as "Contributor #8", Senator McCain? And let's not forget the controversy over that $200,000 contribution Sen. McCain solicited from the Institute's biggest donor, Cablevision, in exchange for using his membership on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation to write the FCC on their behalf regarding the pricing of TV programming? But more germane to the "mission" of the Institute is perhaps that, in retrospect, we now know that it was a useful tool in advancing the 2008 presidential aspirations of John McCain. Again, Jerome Corsi writes in America for Sale, "evidence from the public record suggests that McCain used the Reform Institute to promote his political agenda and provide compensation for his key campaign staff operates between elections".
.... that the "political agenda" Soros and the left were funding through McCain's Reform Institute was actually none other than global warming and "cap and trade"?
The Reform institute launched the "Natural Resources Stewardship Project", proudly displaying its role on the institute’s site saying 'Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman have introduced the 'Climate Stewardship Act' in Congress" starting in 2003. (history of the Acts here) . The two Senators and their staffs at the Reform Institute have engaged in six years of legislative efforts to promote "cap and trade" environmentalism, until hijacked by the even more radical wing of Pelosi's House in 2009. Albeit it the House passed an even more radical and inefficient bill than McCain/Lieberman wanted, Arianna Huffington still can't figure out why McCain is "sitting on the fence" now on Cap and Trade (Ho Hum). So,with that understanding as to why John McCain's primary issue in the 2008 presidential campaign was none other than global warming (the "myth" thereof!), or that the only Democrat that stepped up to the plate to defy his own party in order to endorse Senator McCain's candidacy was Joe Lieberman, ask yourselves: why did the GOP select HIM as our nominee when there were other fine conservatives running in the primary? And why did 58 million Republicans vote for him ANYWAY???
To say that our illustrious Republican Senator John McCain, RINO EXTRAORDINAIRE, has been effectively working to promote the political and perverse agenda of the Left would be an understatement, except maybe only that it was slightly "less to the left" than say, Karl Marx or Mao Tse Tung, the political idols of Pelosi / Reid / Obama and Van Jones.
It is HIGH time to RID THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF traitorous RINO'S, starting with the EXPULSION of John McCain. Before we can TAKE AMERICA BACK we have to TAKE THE GOP BACK.
Because they were intentionally throwing the race to the democrats.
Liberals have captured Democrat Leadership. Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid effectively force DINOs to vote party, Pelosi more effectively than Reid.
I have already made out-of-district donations to Lt. Col West in Florida, Doug Hoffman in NY, and plan to contibute to GunnySgt Popaditch's congressional campaign in San Diego.
BTT
Rinos got to go!
I didn’t vote FOR McCain, I voted AGAINST Obama ... in fact I vot0ed AGAINST almost everybody. I even voted for a Democrat this year ... yep, somebody (who’s name I cannot remember) who was running against Lindsey Graham. Such a shame to walk into a voting booth to vote AGAINST something. (and you are right, there’s not a nickel’s worth of difference between McC and zero).
First you argue against ideological purity, and then you argue for it. Do you have any clue what you're saying, or are you just content to repeat the Cornyn-Steele NRSC/RNC/RINO talking points?
Let me make this very clear:
Political parties are a means to an end, and the Republican Party is NO exception.
Those "ends" follow directly from the party's "fundamental beliefs", i.e., the ones that "must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell the party's numbers." The formation and maintenance of a political party demands a set of core beliefs and strict adherence (what you call "ideological purity") to those beliefs, as they are what binds the party together.
More precisely, political parties must find unity in a common purpose, otherwise they become naught but mere agglomerations of factions that will eventually be torn asunder when one faction tries to use another faction as nothing more than a means to its own ends.
The upcoming elections must not be simply about regaining a Republican majority, as the Republicans already held majorities from 2000 to 2006 and it's fairly evident that their majorities accomplished nothing.
There is a timeliness that says Republican majority now before the United States is permanently altered.
The United States has already been permanently altered...by Republicans and Democrats alike.
Liberals have captured Democrat Leadership. Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid effectively force DINOs to vote party, Pelosi more effectively than Reid.
The Democrats have a common purpose.
What do the Republicans have, other than being anti-Obama and "not the Democrats"?
Do you have any clue... Ad hominem, if you can't attack the position attack the person. Nice.
Let me make this clear ... demands a set of core beliefs and strict adherence.... Some political parties have successfully enforced strict adherence to the party such as USSR Communist Party, Chinese Communist Party, Nazi Party, and their kin.
More precisely, political parties must find unity in a common purpose... Agreed, but not to the point of strict adherence to the party line.
The upcoming elections must not be simply about regaining a Republican majority...The United States has already been permanently altered...by Republicans and Democrats alike. Agreed, but another round of Democrat control may be the coup d'gras
The Democrats have a common purpose. Disagree. Democrats are a big tent party of different interests. The Party Enforcers make the congressmen follow the party line, mostly.
“Some political parties have successfully enforced strict adherence to the party such as USSR Communist Party, Chinese Communist Party, Nazi Party, and their kin.”
Well now Rabs, they finally got ya. You are....
A) A member of the politboro
B) A Chi-Com
C) A Nazi
D) A&B
E) All of the above
Well now Rabs, they finally got ya. You are....
Without strict adherence to a set of core beliefs, you have nothing but a gaggle with no common purpose.
Oh, c'mon, rabs. Where did you get that idea? /s

Reform Institute greatfully acknowleges Sen. McCain as past Chairman:
Disagree with your "strict adherence" policy. However, a substantial intersection of core beliefs is necessary to have a common purpose. Rational people may disagree on some beliefs and policy yet provide mutual support on the intersection.
Once again, amen!
Great stuff - never could figure out what this guy stood for, but just didn’t like him.
Thanks!
