It means get rid of people like your buddy McCain and the rest of the Country club RINOs.

If he, or for that matter, any of the Dim candidate, are elected president and try to enact Amnesty, there WILL be HELL to pay.

[westmichman]

Charlton Heston for President!!

[mimaw]

You know why a portion of them are laughed at. I give you Mike Huckabee.

[End Times Crusader]

Are you one of those lunatics that wants a civil war in this country?

[WildcatClan]

You’re delusional. You are just an open-borders quisling, shilling for McCain.

[nowings]

So does supporting McCain..wheather he wins or nor ,same outcome.
John McCain has sold me out as a coservative for the last time. I vote for him after they pull the ballot out of my cold dead hand. John McCain can go to hell.

Pissant what scares me more than the demise of the Republican party is that I believe that The United States of America is just about a decade from complete collapse

_______________________________________________

The time for a breakaway party never came and has passed. : ) Basically, conservatives are a minority (by sizeable numbers). Their power is in aggregating with other groups in the Republican party. If we hit a major recession or major crises — everything will break lose and a third party might rise. More likely to be a Lou Dobbs, Reagan Democrat, common sense type party than an ideological conservative one though. That said, it has to rise very quickly like the Republican party did or it splits the vote and we end up with the worst of all worlds — no power and helping the libs. I think the solution is for conservatives of all stripes to become radically active on the net and more importantly in the party and running for office at all levels. Take back the party that we’ve taken before with Reagan.

“Not voting Republican = Voting Democrat

Clear enough?”

Voting for John McInsane = voting for insane democrat-lite.
Clear enough?

[Greg F]

Open question: Why is it that liberals are so good at being subversives (and I mean everywhere: schools, churches, politics) and conservatives break off and begin anew? New media, charter schools, evangelical movement... and then the conservatives are labeled “fringe” and laughed at by the mother organization.

Because libs make it their job, their way of making a living to be political activists. It fits thier philosophy and since they have no religious faith and the like, they have no other interests to pursue, so socialism is their calling. It’s tough to fight the long wars in the trenches of organizations against libs once they have a foothold. The will keep burrowing. It’s their job — and their calling — and their core faith.

P.S. — Just a note for anyone reading. With McCain our likely nominee (which is ok, except on the amnesty issue!) — conservatives absolutely positively MUST get involved in the secure borders and anti-amnesty groups to give them the cash and the foot soldiers to fight in a few years if McCain is stupid enough to wreck his popularity and try again for amnesty. I think if we are getting a recession that low wage illegals will get even more unpopular so we may be o.k. — but have to get involved now. We face 4 more years of fighting this issue without anyone to veto the amnesty bill if McCain, Obama or Hillary win.

[ElPatriota]

I agree. I should start the ball rolling. Whoever is electing this Rinos/anti-social-values 'conservatives' does not represent "social-conservatives"

Let's not kid ourselves, we don't belong in this party.

"Social-Conservatives" are 'conservatives on fiscal issues for the most part' BUT also care about the culture/values of the country.

[Kimberly GG]

Unfortunately, rather than endorse NO one, he chose to endorse Huckabee. IMO, that decision was as tragic as his dropping out.

Pissant, I don’t understand enough about politics to opine on whether or not a third party is the way to go. But IMO we are fighting not just the Dems or Kennedy Wing of the Republican Party, but the very powerful bipartisan CFR/OBL and it is they who must be stopped.

My thoughts right now... do everything in our power to “Swiftboat” McCain.

[FreedomProtector]

But with the only Reaganite in the primary election, Duncan Hunter, dropping out this past weekend....



Hunter endorsed Huckabee. Huckabee and Hunter where on the same page in every debate they where in together. Huckabee and Hunter come from the same conservative philosophical mold with the same foundational beliefs.

Duncan Video: Hunter/Huckabee stand up to Clinton/Corrupt News Network plant/Romney flip-flops on gays in military

Video Huckabee: There is nothing funny about President Hillary Clinton/We cannot be soft we must be strong and defeat Islamic fascism

Huckabee: Congress spends like Edwards at a beauty shop

Duncan Hunter: “I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail,” said Hunter. “Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China’s emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of America‚s industrial base.”

“Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee’s candidacy that compels my endorsement. Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well. My personal choice is Mike Huckabee,” Hunter concluded.

HUCKABEE only mentioned one person for Secretary of Defense, DUNCAN HUNTER:
‘‘What you do,’’ he [Huckabee]explained, 'is surround yourself with the best possible advice.’ The only name he [Huckabee] mentioned was Representative Duncan Hunter of California. ‘Duncan is extraordinarily well qualified to be secretary of Defense,’ he [Huckabee] said.

Hunter undoubtedly had a closer look at Huckabee than conservative media commentators who have never met Huckabee or people commenting on a forum who have never bothered to research original sources or take a close look at what Huckabee actually says rather than what others are saying about him.

Don’t put words in my mouth!

I would not advocate violence unless it was the only alternative.

That said, I would not be surprised to see an armed insurrection if events continue to warrant a drastic change. Read into that what you will.

[Enterprise]

"You would post this tripe, Pissant."

Well, maybe he just likes menudo. As for me, I am apprehensive about the future of the Republican party. I fearlessly predict dark days ahead for the party and for our country when any of the remaining candidates of either party take power.

[wolfcreek]

“My thoughts right now... do everything in our power to “Swiftboat” McCain.”

DITTO!

BTW: Looks like Edwards is out.

[visualops]

Because a conservative is by nature a self-reliant individualist.

[AuntB]

The only chance we have is stopping John McCain. I’ll spend my time on that.

[AuntB]

“Can’t vote for him. Nope, wouldn’t be prudent. I’m writing in Fred Thompson. It will make me feel better than staying home.”

Voting for someone who isn’t running will insure a McCain win.

[Antoninus]

Hey, if Romney is the GOP horse, I'm in with the new party idea.

If McCain's the guy and picks Rudy or Romney as his running mate, then ditto.

If McCain wins and picks a reasonable conservative as his running mate, I'll stick with the GOP for the time being.
