Exactly right. That what makes all this whining for a third party among the BlusterCons so absurd. They could not even get themselves organized to control either of the existing parties. How is splitting themselves into an even smaller faction going to do anything but make them even more politically impotent?
I’m a big supporter of the Iraq Vets for Congress and so should everyone on this thread. If you have not visited this website, please do and contribute as much as you can. These are the guys who will make a difference in the House and take up the leadership mantle. If you don’t....please don’t complain after the election. They need your support right now....and that means $$$$$$. Wish it weren’t the case but it is. A $ now is much more important than $2 in October.
There was a small groundswell, oncit upon a time, to have mine own fine self run for governor of Delaware. For these RINOS in this small state can't find a single soul to run for Governor and you should see who they come up with.
Not that I, in any way, would expect to step up and run for Governor out of nowhere. Although Jan Ting...sheesh. Christine O'Donnell ran for Senator as an Independent, you might have seen Christine, a fox pundit. Now the pubbies got a clue and nominated her to run for Senator against Biden although she doesn't have a chance. Nonetheless she did so well running on her own that this time she's got the support of the party.
Anyway, my own self was a PERFECT conservative example of one that the pubbie RINOS in this state should be grooming to run for office. I am female, staunchly conservative, religious, don't have too many skeletons in the closet, speak well, write well, am intelligent and most of all....many, many people in the GOP down in southern Delaware like me.
Of course I had to suck up to Mike Castle, please read my post upthread about this man, the Republican KING of the world here in Delaware. I met the man. I admit I was awed. The RINOS really, really wanted to shut my big mouth up because I was managing to convince people that something was wrong with this picture.
Further, the head of the local GOP told me I would need to put up two million dollars to run for office. I did HAVE, yes I did, the backing of a very influential local business and that owner even got on the phone to the local politicos waxing about my virtues. Sure, they wanted a dog in the race but just so you know I wasn't nobody. That local business even put all kinds of local ads in the GOP fundraiswers.
But the RINOS don't want the likes of me. Up north in Delaware they are so very, very cozy in their offices and they give out free heating oil from Chavez to poor voters, the dead vote twice, sometimes three times, in Wilmington.
Oh, and I'm NOT alone. I see plenty, PLENTY, of devoted conservatives around me, fine folk, male and female, who only want to try and get this soon-to-be-bankrupt state turned in a right direction. And some of then would dearly love to run for an office. They get no encouragement. They get told they need millions of dollars to run. The entrenched are entrenched.
My point being, it's easy to say..."run for an office". Hey, these political elites got it sewed up, locked up, they like it. Not to mention having to suck up to RINOS like Mike Castle who are PART of the problem.
No, it's not impossible. Let me get my heart healed, quadruple bypass surgery from the refinery down the road, and we shall see.
But don't go thinking some upstart out of nowhere will change the political landscape all that easy.
They like their power, witness yer buddy Tom Cole on our TV's trying to justify that pork bill when we should have had a bevy of pubbies lecturing us on our need to drill on our own land.
Just my two cents.
