You are correct. We need a Conservative Party. The republicans are not conservative any more. They are panderers to the mexicans. They are the mexican party, usa.
Tequila Sunrise
Nice pick
We can use that on McRat and others
Let's revise that so that only people who are eligible to vote LEGALLY are allowed to give money to a political candidate. (Similar qualification should also apply to item #2 in the list.)
Thanks to the travesty of "Motor-Voter", there are millions of people who are "eligible to vote" who aren't even legally eligible to be in the country!
This is serious stuff!
The "Illegal Bloc" may very well be large enough to funcion as a swing-vote!
LOL, then you haven't seen post 20 yet!
Oh, he's a fine one to talk, what with his record on the Second Amendment!
In a rare show of honesty, John McCain places the final nail in his presidential coffin. NO friggin way any conservative will EVER vote for this man. If "clean govt" equals McCain-Feingold and the like, I'd rather take the First Amendment. At least it's objective. "Clean" is relative and subjective.
McCain is really saying he'd rather have a government the way HE thinks it should be rather than a government constrained in what it can and cannot do to its people. Great formula for tyranny.
Well, when we were told -- when "CFR" was signed into law -- that it didn't really matter if it was constitutional or not, so let's just leave it up to the SCOTUS to decide, why SHOULD he give a rip?
What we need is a law stating that EVERY piece of legislation MUST include a section defining the constitional BASIS of the proposed law.
What we have now is summed up in my tagline.
Then neither should there be any limits on contributions because it would be "limiting your freedom of speech" which means the "rich elite" will have all of their candidates win the primaries, and wouldn't care which of the ones they elected will win. Representatives and Senators are suppose to represent the people of the district or state they are from, not from rich elitists who have don't even live in that state but are able to sway the election by giving millions of dollars to a candidate who might help them in their businesses, or who is of the same party as this rich elitist. That is not gov't by representation. That's gov't by monetary persuasion.
We didn't have either of theses when our Constitution was written and I find no mention of them in the Constitution, just We the People
disagree - lobbying and PACS are constitutional and necessary.
Please show me where you find mention of either of these in the Constitution.
Disagree - Money is not the problem, a lack of character is. Our country is not socialist.
Money is what gets these clowns elected in the first place. How is term limits going to change that?
I agree with you regarding character.
I know what he was saying, he doesnt need to explain it away. I agree with him.
I just went to the sight, and it's fine. I don't know what you're talking about.
McCain recently spoke at Liberty University graduation
Jerry Falwell seems open to patching things up with McCain....
I'M NOT!
I say, let Liberty know what you think - 434-582-2000 and hit 0

Next, the President will propose giving US citizenship to 10-20 million Mexicans.
It is certainly looking more and more like that all the time. Now they plan a demonstration on Monday aimed at shutting down some of our major cities.
You are sheiting me..................
Hmmm, he's gonna go with the writing on the wall - which we are going to do our best to stop!
McLame is obviously up to no good just as he has been up to no good with many of his proposals.
YIKES!
If it looks like Sir Hitlary Lord Clinton is going to win, then the soundest strategy (think classic "game theory") would be to work our asses off to elect as many Republican legislators as possible -- even if they are the worst RINO POS imaginable -- and (be still, my stomach), work to ensure that The Bitch ascends to The Presidential Palace.
Gridlock may be the only thing that might save the Republic. (I think we'd be in better shape today if we'd had it for the past several years, in fact.)
(If we work hard enough to ensure a GOP legislature -- and end up with the GOP in the White House too, then... *shudder*. Kinda sad -- tragic, in fact -- that this sort of strategy even makes sense. In the age of "pure", raw, unmitigated politics, in which "Party Uber Alles" is the defacto law of the land, then the "least of all evils" is a hamstrung government, in which the two mega-parties are at each others' throats, neither of them capable of doing any damage other than to each other.)
The exception to this nightmare rule (which I think would apply in the inverse as well), would be if we are looking at a real possibility of a President who would NOT "play the game" (i.e., Tom Tancredo or Ron Paul or someone of that ilk), in which case I think it'd be safe to have both branches held by the GOP. In fact, the potential is for it to be better than safe. That was the vision I had when GWB ran for his first term, which is why I was so enthusiastic about voting for him. I literally had a greater sense of "Morning in America" than I did when Reagan won. Words cannot express my disappointment. All the potential for GOOD has been flushed right down the toilet. We could have turned this country around in the eight years we were provided. Instead, we got "business as usual" raised to an art form.)
Please, spare me the personal attacks. NO amount of bashing me over the head is going to persuade me to obey the basher. If my logic is flawed, then show me the flaws -- but any personal attacks will be dismissed upon arrival.
