Leaders fear those disillusioned with the Republican-led Congress could stay home on Election Day, giving victory to the Democrats.
For all those glum conservatives out there, Terry Jeffries has a message: Yes, the Republican-led Congress has failed to plug the leaks in the nation’s borders. Yes, federal spending is out of control, despite pledges by Republican leaders to temper it. And, yes, Congress has failed to pass key social measures once thought all but assured, considering Congress and the White House are in Republican hands.
But Jeffries, the editor of Human Events, a respected conservative newsweekly, also wants readers to realize those frustrations will seem piddling if Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the strident Democratic leader from California, becomes speaker of the House after November’s elections.
Concerned that disillusionment among conservatives may keep them home on Election Day, conservative groups and opinion leaders have embarked on a two-pronged strategy, on one hand urging Republican congressional leaders to assuage their conservative base in the few weeks left, and on the other imploring the base not to abandon deserving Republican candidates at their time of need.
Through articles, opinion columns and talk radio, as well as Internet blogs, they are warning conservative voters that unless they flock to the polls in November, the Republicans may lose control of the U.S. House, and that the margin in the Senate could get dangerously close.

Democratic Win in November Would Move House Committees to Far Left

Do you want the Dems to take power?
But you can be sure that the label Democrat will get you a leftist, socialist liberal.

Is Suicide the Conservative Alternative?

never again. This Democratic Party of Howard Dean/MoveOn and Hillary are absolutely bankrupt.
Democrats have big plans if they take over in Congress
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1694596/posts
Democrats will press to get out of Iraq. They'll mount investigations into the Bush administration's record that could rival those of Presidents Nixon in Watergate and Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky affair. They'll push a boatload of social-welfare legislation, such as raising the minimum wage, that reflects their pent-up priorities, while blocking the Republican agenda on social issues such as gay marriage, abortion and religion.
Those are some of the top plans that Democrats would pursue if they won power, according to interviews with Democratic lawmakers, strategists, staff aides and lobbyists. The tone and temper of the Democrats were reflected well by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., the ranking Democrat on the House Government Reform Committee, in a conference call in late August. He'll become the panel's chairman if Democrats take the House.
The Dems are already in power. They are the ones who set the agenda, and the RINOs just react.
We want true conservative Republicans back in power, not Chaffee-Specter-Snow-Collins-Hagel liberals.
" This Democratic Party of Howard Dean/MoveOn and Hillary are absolutely bankrupt."

And are dangerous to us. This is not an exaggeration.
VERY IMPORTANT: If the Republicans lose the Senate, then the Dems will have control of the judiciary committee, and won't allow President Bush's judicial nominees to go to the floor for an up or down vote.
Republicans must vote in November, and don't forget to vote in the primaries for conservatives.
And yes, I should support these clowns because, after all, having the Democrats in control would be much worse.
"We want true conservative Republicans back in power"

And how will that happen by letting leftist, socialist Dems take power instead?
Bush will have veto power and finally need to get off the damn fence and be a true conservative, binding with the remaining Republicans (conservatives) to stop the threats.
And I see gridlock better than the greased idiocy we now have.
Anyone who prefers Speaker Pelosi to Republican control in Congress is NO CONSERVATIVE. PERIOD. There is no excuse to allow the Dems to take over.
They can push whatever they want, but it won't get through a veto.
If it acts likes a troll, rants like a troll, must be a troll.
