N.H. Rep. Bass Blasts GOP Leadership

I'll blast the GOP leadership (other than Delay) for not standing up to the Rats and the MSM and callling their lie, lies and the people that commit them liers. If they lose next fall, it will be exactly because of that. Nothing that these winnie moderates are doing.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Who are the morons who support Bass for congress?

Kerry voters. Gore voters. Clinton voters.

That's his district.

[Final Authority]

You are correct, if the GOP won't support Bass, then he is dead meat, and you and I and others will have another Democrat in the house to vote for who will be the next speaker of the house.

Bass is running for his political career now as the GOP has become fragmented because of all of the missteps GWB has taken with his spending, signing the CFR, his reluctance to close the borders and desiring amnesty for criminal aliens, and for offering up the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for closing, among others. And now, we good conservatives wonder why GOP members of the house are in a panic relative to their political futures?

As I said, pretty fringe, and of course protectionist city.

[GraniteStateConservative]

If we had a hard ass Conservative in this district, supported by the local republican party (who are weaklings) HQ in Concord, Bass would be out with the Dem Governor (Lynch) who studies the issues so long, people forget what they are about.

What New Hampshire do you live in? Bizarro New Hampshire? Was Bush not conservative enough for this district? He's never won here. And Lynch has no fear of losing. No serious opponent wants to face him. He's as popular as Warner in Virginia.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Gee, and Charlie Bass' campaign office is not more than 3 minutes from my house as I type...just what should we do, and how?

Go and thank him for at least being a warm body and keeping our majority intact. We live in a liberal district. Acceptance is the final step in grief. Get there, man.

[GraniteStateConservative]

You are correct, if the GOP won't support Bass, then he is dead meat.

Actually the less support from the GOP the better. Charlie only wins because of his cult of personality. Nominate a regular no-name moderate who'd vote like him and he'd lose to a Dem, and we have plenty of Dems who'd walk right into that open seat.

On which of those votes is the JBS on the "fringe"?

DeLay has kept his office at the Capitol and "is still very much around,” said Bass, who wants new elections for leadership "so we have a fresh slate of officers outside of the speaker for the next session of Congress.

He's going to get a "fresh slate of officers" beginning at the top with Nancy Pelosi. I'm sure he feels much more comfortable with the Democrats running the place so IF he can manage to get himself re-elected in '06 on Republican $, then he can change parties so he won't have to suffer the indignities of being in the minority. I saw this s.o.b. on H&C last week. He is as arrogant as any of the insufferable Democrats and will fit right into their caucus.

[Final Authority]

You are correct, with the Dems in power I'd be hard pressed to say how they could actually be bigger spenders than the GOP led by GWB.

There is an old saying, cutting off ones nose to spite ones face. Culling all RINOs is exactly that. If all RINOs are culled from the ranks of the elected then the fact that one is a RINO or even a true-blue conservative will have little consequence. If that is what you want, then vote Libertarian or whatever third-party candidate is listed on your next ballot.

Nope. Done BOHICA-ing!

Like Patton said, "I'd rather have a German Division in front of me than a French Division behind me!"

I much prefer an enemy that isn't SUPPORTED BY MY SIDE! Likw the RNSC helping Linc Chaffing over his "more Conservative" opponent...wtf?! What goals are advanced when we are forced by traitors in our midst to retreat AFTER helping them?

So what if DemonRATs are elected...what is the bloody difference in this circumstance?! they are voting the same!

Besides, it will hasten the coming storm of Revolt...and I like that.

[Final Authority]

I am a conservative all right. I just think most of the true conservatives have already been kicked out of positions within the government or never were, like GWB.

I like Newt and Pat Buchanan, where are they? I liked RR. Who is ready to take up his calling?

When GWB refused to call on his AG to investigate the Clintons after they left the WH and when GWB got in a lip-lock with Teddy Kennedy on funding No Child Left Behind and the expansion of the Education budget by nearly 100%, I have lost nearly all faith in what we have presently for so-called conservatives.

Conservatism begins with fiscal responsibility, second is the rule of law, third is preserving our national interests with respect to jobs and trade. Unfortunately, GWB has fallen down on every issue, although we may argue the latter.

[BlackElk]

Bass is a second generation liberal twerp. His father Norman used to do this dance thirty years ago. Charles can be upchucked via primary in the very GOP NH rural district he represents. New Hampshire has about 400 state representatives. In Bass's district, many, many are GOP and conservative. Finance one and kiss Charlie goodbye. Make it brutal and make this nancyboy a poster boy for the results of treason in the ranks.

[Torie]

2, 4, 6, 7 and 10 sound fringe to me. But what is fringe is having an issue where the JBS goes one way, and 80% of the Pubbie congressmen go the other.

That idiomatic expression was used by my mother with the following meaning that I found here: http://www.wordpower.ws/idioms/c.html

The general meaning is as follows: cut off one's nose to spite one's face
- make things worse for oneself because one is angry at someone else
He is cutting off his nose to spite his face. Taking revenge on his neighbor will only cause more problems for himself.

The federal government has no constitutional authority to spend taxpayer money on vocational job training, mental health screening and stem cell research...it has no constitutional authority to delegate its authority to regulate foreign trade to an international body like the WTO (and I would think most conservatives would object to the loss of American sovereignty in any event) and the feds have no constitutional authority to be regulating fuel standards...nor is it good policy.

Most Republicans in Congress are, just like the Democrats, primarily concerned with job preservation...they dispense taxpayer funded goodies and regulate where they really have no authority to buy votes.

If advocating adherance to the Constitution and principles of small government is now a "fringe" position...call me an extremist
