Take Heart: The Republicans say they can undo Socialism. And Gun Control.

The socialists prefer the illusion of government provided security to the reality of the necessity of participating in providing for your own safety.

[SumProVita]

Call for REFORM in 2010-2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

;-)))

The only way to reverse socialism is to invoke Republicanism.

This is a joke considering the OP(formerly the GOP) has been purposely moving towards the socialist left for years in an effort to expand the voter base. Republicanism and socialism have incrementally become one and the same. Anyone who thinks the OP can turn around with the likes of former President McCain, Specter,Snowe, Collins, Graham leading the way, not to mention former President George W.Bush, is living in fantasy land. We essentially have a one Republicrat socialist party system and that won't change until Conservatives untie under their own party banner.

What Conservatives have been calling Values are actually Safeguards of the Republic, and must be restored.

I agree but not through the Republicrat party.

[Man50D]

Former President McCain should read former President Bush.

[dokmad]

Please define republican! I prefer the word "conservative." When I think of republican, I think of Snowe, Collins, Spector, get the point? Conservatives need to get off their a$$e$ and take back our sovreignty, liberty and our government. And we can't do that by whining and feeling sorry for ourselves.

Many people do not understand marxism or how we got here. We need to educate and bring back values, GOD, hope, decency, trust, conservatism compassion, faith based initiatives, I could go on and on. Never let people believe that the government can run our lives better than we can.

Here in PA of course I will not vote for Arlen Specter if he is the GOP nominee next year.

The GOP leadership united everyone else with three exceptions to oppose “stimulus” but then many of the opponents of “stimulus” were exposed by Glenn Beck as “earmarkers” like my Congressman Todd Platts (R-19th PA).

The GOP leadership wants to use fear to drive us to vote for them but they must understand we want “change” as well.

I think the united opposition to stimulus was well crafted because Obama could not claim Republicans blocked him. In fact, the GOP made sure to put up this united front to get brownie points with conservatives.

But the earmark GOP porker Congressmen are still there.

I look forward to conservative opposition to business as usual Republicans including Senator McCain next year.

The pubbies can’t even keep their own rino turds in line.
When they were in power they spent like drunk sailors and ignored any and all their base demands.
So NOW we should work for these bastards?
I work only for conservative, pro-life, Reagan conservatives who feel the best govt. is less govt.
Do no support RINO turds.

[2001convSVT]

So many things come into play, politics is local so locally you hear one thing and on the national news you hear another. And it is so difficult to tell when the candidates are lying so who to support? The national republicans supported Specter when Toomey was the best choice! I do my research and vote for the most Conservative candidate but many times all those running are liberal, like in the last election (Duncan Hunter was my man, but he wasn't on the ballot by the time we could vote in Texas). What are we to do?

[meyer]

If the republicans claim to be able to reverse socialism, why didn't they do so in the first 6 years of this decade when they had the house, senate, and white house?

Only conservatives can reverse socialism, and there's a shortage of them in the republican party right now.

[kjam22]

Can undo socialism? Yeah right. These guys couldn’t even stop it when they had both houses of congress and the presidency. There is no fix. Our form of government will eventually collapse.

[Peter W. Kessler]

Republicans couldn’t organize a ham sandwich.

[two23]

With newer, younger Republicans leaders, all we’ll have is their word, not their long standing voting record to judge them by. If elected, they have to be able to withstand the pressure from career RINO’s and dems.
Everyone is looking for the next Reagan...while crickets are chirping in the dark.

[stockpirate]

Should read, “Republicans can undo socialism with proper use of firearms”

[PubliusMM]

You can not count on law enforcement officials to protect you or your property. That is never going to happen. They are cleanup crews, not prevention resources.
That being said, you must take on the responsibility for your own protection. That can take many forms. For many of us, it includes ownership of, and competence with firearms. It also includes being vigilant and aware of our surroundings, and avoiding situations known to increase the potential for harm.
To that degree, firearms are but one component of a personal protection plan.
And, of course, there is the prospect that we may have to, one day, protect ourselves from our own government; a prospect that played into the crafting of the Second Amendment to US Constitution.

[Flintlock]

We need a RINO hunt first and foremost.
That (G)OP has NO party discipline.

[2harddrive]

The Republicrats NEVER undo anything. They just slow the RATE of downhill degradation.

[Brilliant]

I don’t know if the GOP can undo socialism. Particularly in the case of socialized medicine, I think once it’s passed, it becomes an entitlement, and we’re stuck with it.

[two23]

"We need a RINO hunt first and foremost"

Yes, and it has to start on the state level. I want a party that believes maintaining our values is more important than reaching across the isle enemy lines.

[Daveinyork]

the big question is - will they actually do it any better than they did the last time?

[kickonly88]

‘Republicans couldn’t organize a ham sandwich.’

Ha ha ha!
Or, like my old NCOIC, used to say; pour piss out of a boot if the directions were on the heel.
