Now that Obama is continuing to MELTDOWN by giving public speeches to HIMSELF, ( my personal favorite so far, is his recent speech in front of the Congressional Black Caucus ), we here at FR need to turn a larger share of our attention to supporting competent candidates for the US Senate. Our main problem, of course, is the large number of incumbent Senators who are Republican In Name Only ( RINO for you lurkers ) .
These RINO Senators are more that willing to do their typical "Bipartisan Cave-In" to "save" ANY Liberal/Socialist bill, but they just might be persuaded to vote with the Titanium-spined Senators who want to conserve our once Free Republic.
Who do you know that is running for the US Senate that will vote to repeal and ABOLISH Obama's Nationalization of 1/6 of the US Economy?
All of the GOP voted for repeal.
One of the most important things that the Tea Party needs to do is get as many seats as possible in the Rules Committee for the Republican National Convention.
It is probably too late for the next election, but these seats truly determine how the convention will operate, who will get to speak and when. In past, the RINOs have made a concerted effort to pack the Rules Committee, which resulted in two “turkey” candidates, Bob Dole and John McCain, and two lost elections. With a “go along to get along” party platform.
You missed the essential point of my post, which is to find and support US Senate Candidates who will ABOLISH Obama”care.”
The official Senate Republican position was to” Repeal and REPLACE” the law. That is just govspeak for Obama”care” light.
That position was stated by none other that Senate Minority Leader Son-of-a-Mitch McConnell. It doesn’t take a lot of “research” to spot a RINO like Mitch.
Excellent point!
Hmmm - - - . Maybe Obama was talking about American RINOS when he spoke recently about Americans being soft, and having lost their competitive edge? Yes, this may need to be pursed in greater depth. Thanks!
That's why he fast-tracked it to the USSC.
He wants it gone by November 2012 so it is not an election issue.
The American people - armed with guns, pitchforks, shovels, tar and feathers, and railroad ties to run ALL of the politicians who voted for it out of town!
You asked!!

That would be THE ONLY decision that You Lie Obama has made that I would agree with. However, if Obama does win it will be put back into law by some other Liberal. The idea must be solidly defeated, or it will come back like some “ steely beast “ ( Eagles, Hotel California ).
That is why we need to identify and support the Titanium spines for US Senate. Do you know of any?
I appreciate you sentiment, but there are several problems with that approach.
The first one is that is would be JUST TO MUCH FUN FOR US !
Seriously, 50 % of us are analogous to oysters: we just sit, open our mail box and let “The Eagle” fly over it. That is to say that 50 % of us do not pay ANY personal Federal income taxes. These people know that all they have to do is keep on voting in kooks like Obama, Reid, Pelosi, and they will never have to pay any Personal Federal income taxes for the rest of their sorry, parasitic lives.
The main problem is that the USA is broke. When the Chinese decide to cash in their US Bonds, then your solution WILL take place.
So, between now and then, we here at FR need to support and elect Senators who will ABOLISH Obama”care.”
It may take a Constitutional Amendment to outlaw any Federal connection with any medical or insurance “entitlements” in order to break the financial death spiral that we are currently in.
It all starts with electing Titanium spines to the US Senate. Do you know of any?
Good thread.
Though there was a public show of Republican Senators against ObummerDeathCare, one of the Maine Bobbsie Twins voted for cloture to allow it to come to a vote, knowing that by doing so it would pass. Don’t remember if it was Snowejob of Collins. Also don’t know if she is running this time or not.
As far as Republican frauds in general, Lugar (Indiana) is up for reelection this time and is wearing his “screw-you conservatives” contrarianism as a badge of honor. We must fund his primary opponent and make sure Lugar gets knocked off.
Thanks. What I am trying to do is bring another point of attack to the defenses of the current Liberal Elitist Machine that has put America into a financial death spiral. The more points of attack that we can muster, the more fatigued will be their opposition to us.
Obama began cracking about a year ago when he started giving speeches to himself. The Meltdown probably began when Dr. Larry Summers left to go back to the ivy-covered safety of Harvard.
To answer your question, it was Susan Collins who stupidly said that she did so that Obama”care” could be voted on. Her stupid action began the Financial Death Spiral of the US Federal Government, AND SHE IS A REPUBLICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I digress. Sorry. Anyhow, due your due diligence about potentially good Senate candidates and post them here. This is going to be a long term thread so come back here early and often, you know, just like they vote in Chicago.
None. Politics is a game of Russian roulette and most sane people don't enter it because they don't want the media attention on every aspect of their life. No matter how honorable we have lived our lives, we all have skeletons in the closet that we don't want the DBM airing on the national stage, regardless how minor they may be.
BTW, I agree with everything else you said, with a couple of minor exceptions. We are ONLY going to get a Constitutional Amendment to outlaw any federal association with health care by enacting it ourselves at the point of a gun. Politicians aren't going to intentionlly take any action that may limit their power now or in the future. While we, on this site, talk a lot about getting conservatives in Congress who will roll the clock and the power of the Congress back, the fact is that no politician is voluntarily going to do that. Once in Washington, they all become selectively deaf and join the "more-power-for-me-and-screw-you club!"
So (as if I haven't made this point clear), IMO the only way to make these things happen is for we, the people who own this government, to stop hoping that we elected honorable people and just do it ourselves (at the point of a gun, if that's what it takes).
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. There is another option other than use of the famous “peace maker” to your quote “ - - -We are ONLY going to get a Constitutional Amendment to outlaw any federal association with health care by enacting it ourselves - - - ) , and that is a Constitutional Convention.
It is long, tedious and problematic, ( as it should be ), because it must be approved by a certain % of States. The Libs will cry because while the Constitutional Convention is going on, (it will take many years to complete), “Nothing is getting done in Washington! You terrible people are just trying to shut down THE GOVERNMENT! “ To which I say: Yep, deal with it!
In my humble, but ALWAYS correct opinion, if Cain does not get this country turning to the right, ( to use an oil patch term), in his first year, the Constitutional Convention movement will begin in his second year. The rest of the field of candidates lack the brains to avoid being distracted from the main goal of the US President: LEAD US OUT OF THE VALLEY OF DEBT!
To do that effectively, Cain will need Titanium-spined Senators who share his goals. If you know someone in ANY State that fits the bill, just remind him/her of the many shameless pervs. who are abundant in the Debtocrat Party in the US Congress.
Any skeleton that he/she might have couldn’t be any worse that those of the Debtocrats whose salaries and benefits you and I now pay for every April 15 th.
IDEALLY, a Constitutional Convention would probably be a good solution. REALISTICALLY, I don’t see it happening because there are stubborn conservatives (such as myself) who are too afraid that a new Constitutional Convention would grant too many tinkerers the ability to mess with something that, in its original form, has few flaws.
I agree that I jump to the “peacemaker” (I LIKE that term, BTW) option too often, but only because I see what the mini-minds that we have elected to the Congress have done with our cherished Constitution. It is a sad comment on the state of American education that the Founders had to leave the maintenance of the Constitution to those with lesser abilities and more evil intent. The mini-minds have written many laws in a way that make it difficult (if not impossible) to repeal or alter via the democratic process.
Which, IMO, essentilly leaves us with two options - 1) re-take our government by force, adjourn the Congress and make a few minor “tweaks” to the Constitution to prevent the mini-minds from creating the same havoc in the future as they have today. Then we hold new elections barring EVERYONE who has ever served in ANY elected position from EVER running and try starting over.
I don’t see that as being very realistic, however, and it leaves us open to attack by anarchists. 2) Slightly more realistic (but, not by much) is to divide America into two parts - the Liberal America and the Conservative America. Liberals would be required to live in their socialist paradise for a minimum of 10 years before the conservatives could EVER consider allowing them to come to our side. This (BTW) would be a physical division of the nation, NOT just a conceptual one. The liberals are doing everything they can to drive a politial wedge between themselves and conservatives and have (with DBM complicity) succeeded in making “conservative” a dirty word. So, IMO, a schism based on political idealogy is pretty much a foregone conclusion. IF or when such a schism should occur, we conservatives could restore the Constitution to our liking and the liberals could do whatever they wanted with their socialist paradise.
It is intersting to note that a recent article in the Canada Free Press (mentioned by Rush Limbaugh) has an author suggesting that Obama will suspend elections next year so that he won’t have to face the landslide defeat that is surely headed his way. This cat was also let out of the bag with Gov. Bev Perdue’s recent odd comment at the Rotary Club address and is now slowly being parroted by other Dem mouthpieces, signalling what they might be planning. In other words, they are “socializing” the idea by telling us what they are planning! If we aren’t prepared for this, we will tacitly submit and bow down before our god, BHO (shudder!). I don’t know how much credence to lend to this idea, but it is definitely something we need to think about and plan for.
” - - - The 8.5 groundshaking event will happen when the Dems are mortally wounded in the Senate, losing a large portion if not all of the 23 Dem seats - - - “ [ Your reply from another FR thread].
Who are these Senators that FR can support?
PING!
