“How will conservatives ever pull the voters away from the liberal feeding trough? Liberalism is a sickness for which there is no known cure.”
Put principles first and advance those to gain power. Tragically, from 2002-2004, we were more concerned about gaining power and disregarding principle.
I can live with a few RINOs, but it went out of control. When the RNC is blowing cash on people like Lincoln Chaffe just for the sake of “defending a seat”, it is time to rethink your strategery and move forward.
We lost power these past four years! Rightfully so? Nope. The number of Republicans in Congress that are fine people far outweigh the “fringe” now. We simply need to rally and charge forward. I think our base goal for 2010 should be +2 in the Senate and +20 in the house.
Moreover, we need to win a few more Governorships. For example, in Pennsylvania see if we can get those like Arlen Specter to step aside for someone like Tom Corbett. Some people have suggested that Santorum run again, but I think he should set up an exploratory committee to see if he could snag the Gov.ship in 2010. If Obama is the lightweight we all expect him to be, this might be feasible.
Also in PA, there are two, possibly three Congressional seats that could be won should the RNC decide to abandon this senseless tactic of “focusing on red states” only.
I tried to support McCain as best I could. I tried to refrain from making any bad comments about him during this election and did my best to get people to support him just for the sake of the country. We lost though & we are going to take some hits since elections have consequences. Our Conservative message works....distorted RINO blather fails. Now that RINO blather has failed, it is time to shift focus back to our Conservative roots and start winning again.
That is basically how we can pull voters away from the liberal feeding trough :-)! God has not abandoned us. We (meaning the RNC) just needed a lesson in “political power management :-)”. God abandoning us would have been seeing 80M people supporting Obama and losing all 57 States ;-)!
I can't argue with that but don't you see the problem we will be facing? Voters will be so entrenched in liberal gimme politics that when we come along and tell them the party is over, what do you think they will say. We really need to hope the DemocRATS fail in their ability to give everything to everybody. I think there is a good chance that is exactly what will happen.
