As if those at the national level care any more what the regular folks think.
Think about it: If they were actually representing us do you not think they could have done at least SOMETHING in their decade in power to end abortion, secure the borders, reform the tax code and entitlements, rein in spending, get the federal government back within its enumerated powers and shutting down unconstitutional parts of the federal behemoth, restoring our First Amendment rights of free political speech and association, checking an out of control judiciary, etc., etc., etc.????????
Many of them are. They're acting like hacks and Democrats, not principled patriots who are devoted to saving our free republic.
You know what they say: the fish rots from the head down.
Bravo! Ditto. It is such a waste of time, even the 'good movies' I watch. ~grim grin~
Does any true conservative really watch much TV? I'm betting most don't.
Thanks for basically conceding my point.
which you choose to ignore.
I'm not ignoring them at all. I'm working every day to help create a process that the decent people completely own and that raises up leaders from amongst themselves who truly represent them and what they believe.
Yeah, it’s bad for the mental and spiritual health. I have enough bad habits without indulging that one. :-)

That doesn't jibe at all with what I said.
I hear your frustration loud and clear - and agree with all of your complaints, they are mine as well. But, at the same time I've seen too many conservatives that walked away from the battle. They gave up, just when they should not have.
However, the one bright spot right now is, they are coming back - in almost weekly increasing numbers. Some have prior experience, most don't know anything yet. They will gain knowledge, and will make a difference - but those with experience help the most.
You’re gathering those fine people up for them to in the end to be delivered into the political hands of the John McCain’s of this world, friend. Your process and the character of those who are firmly in control of your party assure this outcome. Wake up.
I'm not frustrated at all. I see nothing but an open political field in front of me as far as the eye can see.
Making sure Coleman gets in the Senate instead of Franken would be a good action project.
Not. Yes, voters voted for McCain, but a great many valid party members across the nation did not. They sat it out - and McCain lost because millions refused to vote for him.
Those party members govern a great deal of party money, and McCain didn't get much of it - and rightfully so.
That is difficult for many to understand, but perhaps they will when they see McCain step down, and be replaced by a real conservative.
There is not much that can be done to twist the arms of judges these days. But, Coleman has a chance, simply because the prior court chose to help stack the deck against him.
I’ll kick some ‘rat butt first, thank you.
Yes. Because I was part of that reformation - back when everyone thought it could not be done - but it was done.
The problem then was what it is now. It takes a lot of people, and a lot of work - all driving for the same result, the ouster of pretenders. The problem becomes smaller and smaller, the more the number of people attacking the problem grows.
OK. I can go with that. But, I'd like to know how you intend to do that? ~grin~
Many thanks for all thoughts posted here. They have given me insight that I am grateful for. Conservatives have a lot of work to do.
“Lately I’ve ran (sic) across many a post and comment on FR that made me decide to again post about politics...”
How would you know about America’s politics, since you know so little about its language.
By the way, party politics is the problem, and always has been. Guess that makes you part of the problem.
