I hate being pessimistic as well! It pays to point out absurdities from time to time but the best course of action is always to stir up and support more conservatives both locally and nationally.
Last week I got a chance to jump on the bandwagon of a new candidate locally who has a stellar resume and is wiling to get things done locally. I shall and will support him as best I can and urge everyone to do the same in their own hometowns.
Ronald Reagan II is out there. It's up to us to find him and support him/her!
You are SO right, that we need to find and support local candidates who are good conservatives. We have a major rebuilding of the party if we want to win again.
The sad aspect of this coming election is the census will be done in 2010, and we KNOW the Democrats will Gerrymander districts to benefit themselves, as they have done in the past.
Thanks...I was just trying to cheer everyone up. ;)
