This is a call to ACTION for Conservatives NATIONWIDE... WE started talking about this back in 2004... but NOW is the time to put in in ACTION !!
As much as we want to OPPOSE the RINOS we really need to consider the reality of the situation...
Let's ROLL !!
PASS IT ON
Given how spending has been going up, we are about 58 or 59 non-RINO senators shy of 60.
"60 of what" is the question. Since we are starting with perhaps 15...
TIME FOR A REALITY CHECK
Out of control spending
Pourous boarders
A Majority ruled by the minority
Out of control Democrap corruption uninvestigated
Refusal to stand for conservative principles
Triple expansion of the US Government
Passage of Campaign Finance Reform
Passage of Perscriptioin Drug program
Constant buckling and folding of Republicans to the Democraps
An illegal alien workers program!
Did I miss anything?
Happy too.
Please list the conservatives running for office and where
Realistically the goal ought to be how we can minimize the losses that are almost certainly going to happen.
Yup, the fact that you won't get any bill to curb any of these things out of committee if you hand the Senate to the Democrats. On the other hand, pressure can be put on RINOs with Republicans retaining a majority and the committee chairs. With a Republican minority? The RINOs will have to placate the Democrats even more.
WOW! thats great to hear. I'm sure that McCain, Gramham, Collins, DeWine, Specter, Chafee & Snowe are all quaking in their boots! Even with an election of 6 super conservative, these traitors side with the Democraps, so no super majority.
Can you imagine how much worse it would be to put the Democrats in charge of the Senate? IMHO, unless we can get 60 Republican Senators the Democrats will continue to call the shots simply be refusing to allow votes to take place.... If we can get 60 R's I am sure the RINOS will will think twice before voting with the 40 LIBERALS to initiate a filibuster..
Nobody is arguing you aren't right... just talking about what to do about it.
Great. Let's just raise the bar on more time... yes, keep belieiving! The GOP believes in less government.
If we get to 60, they will still spend like drunken sailors and raise the bar even more.
I've been at it for 15 years. I'm done. We have a GOP president and congress and spending is worse than ever.
It's a fools game, and I'm not playing anymore.
Yeah, it would sure be great to have 60 instead of 55 GOP senators refuse to do anything to crack down on illegal immigration and spend like crazed teenagers with Mom's credit card.
What are you proposing?
Think Supreme Court, folks...
A couple of justices might be retiring soon. We need to keep control to keep things going our way.
what good is a 55 vote majority if it only takes 41 LIBERALS to stop the 55 from getting anything done.. the reason we are in this mess is because we need to appease a few liberals to get anthing done otherwise 41 idiots put the brakes on the process....
Let me re-state your post....
Lucy says" Come on Charlie Brown, just kick the football one more time, I promise I won't move it...."
We all know what happens next.
The 55 are no more on our side than the 41. Look at the immigration sell-out that was just brokered. Look at the massive increases in domestic spending. And your answer is 'more of the same'. Forget get it. Fool me twice, shame on me.
