Thanks for two more examples of the RINO shuffle.

I agree with your comments concerning the grass roots.

We need a lot of this next spring.

And right now, we need to be nailing down good Conservative candidates to run.

Did you see the article from Pete Sessions head of the NRCC?

He has changed the way they are going to do elections and that is to not work to hold seats (incumbents) but to support candidates going after Dem or Open seats. That is much smarter IMHO. Let the incumbents defend themselves. What a 180 from the NRSC Cornyn who originally endorsed Specter before he switched. Sessions feels we left too many Dems with no opponents while his predecessors were all about protecting incuments. I like the new idea and hope he sticks with it along with not endorsing in the primary. Michael Steele has also said he won’t endorse in the primary.

We need to work to find good candidates to run — ones that articulate, no baggage, ethical, and can get the Conservative message across to everyone. Stand up and fight for what they believe. We need some candidates that understand economics and have real plans on how they will represent us in Congress. Tired of the rhetoric with candidates where I could almost repeat their speeches as they sound like they came out of the same candidate schools.

I hate pandering and that is what I sense from a lot of candidates today — tell an audience what they want to hear and change your message for the next audience. Stand on principle is so important and people will respect that and the ones that don’t won’t vote for them anyway.
