Staying home in November because you don’t like the candidate and want to teach the GOP a lesson won’t get us the Congress back. This is why it is very important to vote in November
Seems like a lot of collateral damage from deliberately electing newbies every cycle.
Very few of us are staying home. We are mad ...oops wrong word .. we are angry and we will vote for CONSERVATIVES running for Local, County, State offices. And we will vote conservative for Congressritters and Senate borz.... if there is one on the ballot.
As for this boy ... I will NOT hold my nose and vote for McLame .. I’ve never voted democrap and not about to start now ... that slot shall remain blank
Trty taking away their pensions, privileges, and making them subject to the same laws they enact for the rest us. they’ll leave in droves.
Nothing in this country will change until our federal government utterly collapses under it's own greed, weight and corruption. I just pray there are enough remaining pieces to rebuild it into something.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT. Simply vote for congress positions, and your local and state stuff. That is important. The president position is worthless. Bush has proved that.
We need a true Conservative Party—Now. Remember, once the Republicans were a radical 3rd Party of Anti Mormon, anti-Slavery people. We need to think of a new party to win back House & Senate
I tend to agree with you. It’s too late this go around but we should be working on a Conservative Party. Maybe (I wish) we could get some of the true conservatives to switch.
What we need is a revolution to take our country back from the “elite” of this country.There,fixed.
A failure to vote in November period, only assists a victory for the Rats and this has to be avoided
Put congress back in Constitutional order under it's restrains and POTUS will be forced to abide in it as well the USSC.
That is my planned course of action.
Conservatives need to be grown and nurtured. We just need to find them (they will find us) and support them. Unlike Ross Perot and Reform party, its not just about the White House—we need to take over the state houses, school boards, city halls and congress to make a point before we roll to the White House.
I agree completely with the “clean up your own backyard” approach. I live in AL and made a trip to Montgomery (our state capitol) just last week. Wish other Alabamians would do the same. At least the conservative ones.
The Conservative Party (C) needs to be a national party. It should be started on the internet and some rules listed. 1) what are the Core Beliefs of the CP?
2. Who is a conservative, a partial conservative, and a wanabe conservative. 3. Conservatives need a symbol, an animal of some sort, a Bear? a Bison? or an Owl, (The Whigs had a racoon in 19th Century)
Core Ideas should be simple.
A) Close the Border—Build the Wall.
B) Keep up the military
C) Balance the budget
D) Enforce the laws
E) No to PC foolishness
F) A colorblind society
G) Constitutional Judges-no laws from the bench!
H) Lower Taxes.
I) Reform the schools so they teach the three Rs.
J) End NAFTA or Control it.
K) Send the UN packing to Europe where it belongs.
Maybe you have some ideas as well.
Nice idea; bad outcome.
Just who do you think, under the current rules already in place, will be running the government? Do you really want to turn it over to the bureaucrats, and give the NEA, Unions, Welfare Rights groups, et al — unfettered access?
