Hi everyone, I am a conservative living in Alberta and I have been watching American politics for quite some time now. As some of you may know, Alberta is the heart of the conservative movement in Canada. Our voice always seemed so small in Canada as the majority of the population lives in Ontario and Quebec. The eastern Provinces ALWAYS voted Liberal (like the Democrats) and the West mostly voted Progressive Conservative (like the Republicans). The East won the Federal elections time after time after time because of the higher population (higher population=more seats in the House). This pained us and frustrated us to no end. We would turn on our TV’s at 8:00pm (that’s when voting ended in the West, voting finished in the East at 6:00pm)and find out the election was already over because Quebec and Ontario voted Liberal again.

Now for the good part and to show you there is still hope for you (not Obomination type of hope but the real stuff)...

After suffering 11 years of Liberal Majority rule and the introduction of programs like; Long gun Firearms registy, no limits whatsoever on abortion, Young Offenders Act was introduced which allowed young people to getaway with murder...literally, gay rights crap, hate crimes laws, systematic destruction of our military etc...conservative, family minded people finally had enough.

Our Progressive Conservative Party had compromised so much that they now looked like the Liberal Party. In fact there was almost no difference at all (a bunch of RINIO’s as you like to call them). A Conservative movement was started out West called the Reform Party which was later called the Canadian Alliance. When it went Federal, it joined with the Conservatives in the Progressive Conservative Party. The new conservative party is now called the Conservative Party of Canada.

Well, to make a long story short, we finally won a Federal election with a minority government. People in Eastern Canada were still unsure so they forced another election and we won a stronger mandate although still a minority government. In time I believe we will have a majority again and then we can make some real, principled, conservative changes in Canada. Our population is beginning to see what a bunch of ass-clowns the leftists in our country are.

The good news for you is that Obama won the last election which “outed” the RINOS in the Republican Party. There is now a grass roots conservative movement all across the states. I believe you do have to abandon the Republican Party and start a new political party that has the voice of the people. Right now you don’t have a voice but those NEW leaders will rise up and already are. Forget the current bunch and don’t depend on them. The new conservative movement in the States will be strong and not watered down to please the media or the special interest groups.

Hang in there and don’t lose heart, if it happened in Canada, it will happen for you too...only in a BIGGER way!

“We view ourselves on the eve of battle. We are nerved for the contest, and must conquer or perish. It is a vain thing to look for present aid: None is at hand. We must now act or abandon all hope! Rally to the standard, and be no longer the scoff of mercenary tongues! Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father’s name”

Not sure who wrote that but it was one of your guys, I love it and have it hanging on my wall in my office.

Apparently the quote is from Sam Houston. I thought it might have been from Henry V myself.

You may very well be right. But it would seem that the libs in the GOP can still be squeezed off into the party that more accurately reflects their views - the Democrats.

If Snowe, Collins and a few others join Spector, the Republican Party can become that “new party”. If not, you are correct, and only a fresh new party can free America from the servile leadership of the Boslheviks in the Democrat Party.
