Now Hear This, Now Hear This.......American Conservatives Speaking
Col. Riley's Corner ^ | Col. Riley

Posted on 06/07/2008 6:52:20 AM PDT by do the dhue

TO: John McCain and the RNC,

Your latest solicitation for our money has a lot of “I want…” statements in it. Merely saying “I want…” does NOT impress me and won’t get the job done!

I would like to hear some “I WILL…” AND MEAN IT !

If you want our money, and our vote, then “WE WANT” some ACTION from the RNC and John McCain!

GET YOU HEAD OUT AND PAY ATTENTION…. WE ARE SERIOUS AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT VOTE!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that we WILL DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW, AND PAY LESS! The stupidity of sitting on trillions of cubic feet of our own natural gas and billions of barrels of our own oil while begging Arabs for more is beyond insanity! We want refineries, clean safe nuclear power, and STOP BURNING OUR FOOD FOR FUEL!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that the borders WILL be closed and NO illegals will get ANY amnesty or special consideration ahead of those waiting to enter legally!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that employers of illegals will be prosecuted. The illegals will go home on their own… and real wages for real Americans will rise!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that federal funding will be withdrawn from “sanctuary cities”…. immediately! I obey the federal laws… so should city officials… or defund and prosecute them.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ONLY strict constructionist federal and Supreme Court judges will be nominated, AND that they will be supported, in hearings! Abiding by our Constitution has worked to get us here… it will work for our future!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that NO new taxes bills will be signed!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that there will be NO carbon tax schemes and NO so called “global warming” or “climate change” agreements catering to the fear mongers claiming “man-made” climate change. The world climate has ALWAYS changed and puny mankind cannot control it! The facts, evidence, and tens of thousands of scientists, say it is a pure hoax, a lie, and a grab for money and power and it MUST be stopped before it destroys our economy!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ALL earmarks will be vetoed!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that Social Security will be reformed and made solvent to end the illegal Ponzi scheme that will devastate the retirement of so many!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to oppose all forms of abortion, oppose same sex marriage, oppose civil unions of same sex couples, and support marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to retain “under God” in our pledge of allegiance, our coins to retain “in God we trust”, and English declared the official single language of the United States.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that if United States security is threatened, before American military forces are committed, Congress will issue a “declaration of war”.

Newt is offering you a “Platform For America”! READ IT!

http://www.americansolutions.com/actioncenter/petitions/?Guid=bf4a5257-45e3-4a94-97fc-57e2d7ecb6f9

It is a comprehensive list of what the overwhelming majority of “Americans” have said we want! If you are smart, you will use it in a Republican Platform! It is a winner for you politicians and for we American citizens!

Also check out http://buchanan.org:80/blog/2008/06/pjb-bush’s-black-list/

When John McCain, and the RNC, make these strong commitments, we will again support Republicans with OUR money and our vote!

But, NOT UNTIL THEN… IT IS TOO IMPORTANT!!!

DO YOU HEAR US…. OR ARE YOU NOW DEAF TO REAL AMERICAN VALUES?

I receive Col Riley's news letter. I really liked this. Seems like Conservative are ignored and if the RNC and McCain want our vote and/or money, the RNC and others need to listen to us.

If the GOP continues to drift left, my vote will go to Bob Barr. McCain can still salvage conservatism, but I have little faith that he will.

You be “forced to work” and trying to stop a bell that’s already rung if Obie gets in office.

I hear you, but I also don't want to be taken for granted because I will vote against Hussein because I am afraid of the commie/Socialist. I want to be listened to by what I call MY party. I may vote for McCain, but McCain can get the money for his campaign from the people who want open borders and who don't want to drill our own oil.

“Contribute unless you want Obie in office.”

Sorry. The big, bad bogeyman approach isn’t working anymore. The socialism-lite of Sen. McCain is only marginally different from the radical socialism of Sen. Obama. While they may differ in their rhetoric, the final destination is still the same.

this sounds like what we've been saying since ‘94 oh well, welcome to the Barack presidency, we reap what we sow. I'm still not voting fro McCain.

John McCain and the RNC doesn’t WANT the votes of the Conservatives or the Christian Right. They are depending on Hillary defectors from the Democrat Party to defeat Obama.
And they might do it, if enough conservatives sell out America and vote for him.

If your statement is true, then it is time for the CNC.

Well I definitely agree about slamming the borders shut. And he’s got to do what the American people want and that is what they want. Problem is, I think McCain will listen to the American people, while Obie will think he knows better than the American people, that is the extreme danger.

RNC is a dead horse. The CNC sounds good to me.

I plan to vote for the most conservative candidate. What everyone else does is their business, but I don’t vote for leftists or traitors to the Constitution.

I agree with the majority of these demands.

However, I’d like to point out the difficulty from a political standpoint with implementing them.

In both the 2000 and 2004 elections the election was about as close as it could get. About 35% of the voters called themselves Republicans and about 35% Democrats.

Today about 42% of likely voters call themselves Democrats and about 32% Republicans. Democrats are jazzed and Republicans are demoralized. If McCain appeals largely to his base, he’s going to be clobbered. His base is just much smaller than Bush’s was.

McCain must appeal to the squishy middle if he is to win. Possibly these demands would accomplish that, but I’m not so sure.

Just because we believe firmly that we are in the right doesn’t necessarily mean most voters agree with us. Unfortunately, the number of votes is all that counts.

It's not a question of if but how far.
