Time for a revolt? Yes, it is. It is actually long past due for one, and now is the time to start.

All over the country Republicans have been losing elections, from here in New York to the National elections. Why? Simple, they have lost their way and have strayed so far from their base no one wants to support them or vote for them.
The Republicans have had their chance to set the agenda, but over the past eight years they proved that once in DC, they throw their constituents under the bus. I feel sorry for the people that call me from the RNC looking for donations, I give them an earful, tell them to pass on my thoughts and concerns to the supposed "Leadership". I have refused to donate but still get letters and questionnaires in the mail. We know these are only pretentious efforts to make us believe we are helping to set the agenda. No, the only thing the RNC looks for is that check in the envelope. I have been tempted to send these back empty.
Now it seems that all the Leaders are scratching their heads wondering what they have done wrong. We need new leaders they say, yet the ones that come to the forefront are from the same group that had a part in putting us in the situation we are in today.
Why are they scratching their heads anyway? If they had been listening to us, as they say, they would know why we are in the losers seat. Their answer to the question? Well that was revealed by Limbaugh in an insiders report from the Republican Retreat. Their orders are to basically "Retreat", and now GW Bush is saying we all must get along. Who are they trying to kid, what are they trying to hide? Basically they want us to surrender to the left. Surrender? Sorry that word is not in my vocabulary.
This weekend we had our first meeting of Primary Challenge. The agenda for the next couple of years is to find candidates to run for the Erie County Legislature and other seats that are up in the county. Next year we will be running candidates to challenge the Party committee seats, both Republican and Democrats. The politicos have been in their own world of greed and corruption for so long, it is time to clean house.
It's time to bring Primary Challenge to the National level.
So how do we take back the Republican Party and Congress and rebuild? We have to do this on two fronts. Taking over the committees at the local level is one step and is a long and tedious process but one that must be done. Usually committee seats are only up every two years. Here in New York, that election just occurred, so we have two years to get the right people in place. We need people, people that are fed up and willing to stop sitting on their apathy, stop being keyboard activists, to get up and do something about it.
The next step is one that has to start now, and the House of Representatives is a primary concern. Searching out Reagan Conservative Republicans to run in a Primary against the incumbents is the place to focus. We need to list the RINO's that need to be eliminated in the next election and the Primary is where they are most vulnerable. By listing them now, making this list very public and in their faces, we can hold them accountable for their votes over the next two years. If they know we are coming and they lose, maybe, just maybe they will get the message that the base is taking the Party back..
We are fed up with the excessive spending, the bloated government, the taxes, the patronage, regulations, restrictions, earmarks, government intervention, government control and the surrendering of all we stand for as Reagan Conservatives. Smaller, more efficient, less intrusive government, the free markets, Capitalism and the infrastructure that made this the Great Country we are. We have become a government dependent society where government supposedly has the answers for everything. The same people that got us here are going to fix this mess? I think not.
Last I knew Congress had an approval rating of 12. This proves the point that WE, The People are no longer in control. It is time to put We The People back in charge.
If Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingrahm, Boortz, and the rest of the Conservative talk show hosts are serious about what they say, and their desire to take back the country to put Reagan Conservatives back in charge, they should be all over this plan.
"It is not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work -- work with us, not over us; stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it." --Ronald Reagan
I’m reading up trying to find out.
I did notice this interesting tidbit:
“The MLK day of service project was organized by Hope worldwide, a non-profit new to Anchorage.”
Who/What is “Hope Worldwide”?
Alaska Youth Military Academy. It’s in Fairbanks.
Hello? Hello? Is there any intelligent life here???
Rush, Sean, et al, are entertainers!
Not Republican leaders.
Not GOP strategists.
ENTERTAINERS!
It's a wonder the number of folks keep getting that point confused.
Here's a link that might help...they are apparently the charitable arm if the International Churches of Christ.
Very well said.
I thought you said “will go the way of the Vikings” for a second.
Wouldn’t hurt for us to act like Vikings for a while...
No Problem. I tell you, if there is ever trouble in the USA, you can always come to Fairbanks.
Yes, 100 flesh-eating horses in the Augean Stables.
BUMP for later.
I have written four necessary conditions for conservatives to regain control of the GOP and eliminate the destructive RINO domination that has marked the last 15-20 years. They are as follows:
1. GOP registration required to vote for GOP candidates so that crossover voters do not select our candidates in primaries.
2. Move primaries up in several large conservative states so that RINO-infested northeastern states no longer choose our presidential candidate.
3. Allot delegates to the GOP convention from each state based on the number of registered GOP voters in that state. Just because a state has a big population does not get you more delegates to the GOP convention- Dark blue states should not choose our candidate.
4. Divide the delegates from a state between candidates based on primary results- No more winner-take-all primaries.

I think you’re right on target - take it back from the roots up, courthouse by courthouse.
And I think we should also support those in now when they remember why we fought Obamatron.
Cornyn is standing up against Hillary now, and I think that should get him kudos.
Sticks and carrots.
“How many members of the Constitution Party are currently in office? The Constitution Party needs to back our Conservatives in the primary.”
Exactly.
United, conservatives can win.
Divided into 3rd parties of no consequence, we fall.
36% of Americans are self-identified conservatives.
That’s enough to take and win the Republican party.
Then get good conservatives who know how to appeal to the ‘center’ as well, so you get 51% of the vote. game over.
Get ‘R done.
HUGE bump/ping here!!!
The Me-Too-icans have hastened over to bow and curtsey before the 44th president, though he be an Islamo-Commie from Kenya.
The Lindsey Graham Light Loafer Brigade is tapping their feet in support of carbon credits, nation-destroying "stimulus" spending, nationalized (read: vaporized) health care, conscription of a civilian national defense force to inform on enemies of the administration, releasing islamoterrorists into our midst, removing intelligence tools which have kept us safe, reprising the worst of the FDR, LBJ, Carter and Clinton administrations.
And still we are buffeted by elitist bashing of Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin was the only thing between John McCain for President and flat line.
Between our departing president and our defeated candidate the urge to open the borders to sixty million more Mexicans has been Rodney King-Leatherface unkillable.
Altogether with a nauseating self-hating "new tone" civility to the Democrat-Islamofascist-Media-as-Ministry-of-Propaganda troika.
I am headed for the window, to throw it open to the bone-chilling global warming, to shout toward the Immaculation on the East Coast, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more."
So Hussein models himself on the First Republican.
Party on, one-termer.
Consider me responding.....with a ping to a friend.
