Not to mention, giving a scumbag socialist like Obama and the Dems a stronger political hand to play.
What hand are you referring to?
All I remember hearing about is the "president's failed policies" of vetoeing the SCHIP bill leaving millions of children without healthcare, along with millions of adults by not promoting commie healthcare for all.
His failure to mandate enough environazi green energy crap, instead of insisting on drilling here, now!
Then of course President Bush's biggest failed policy, in the eyes of the DemonRATS and Paulites, that of remaining steadfast in the WOT, supporting our troops and our allies, and not abandoning the Iraqis!
MeInsane and all those that forced his selection are the only ones that gave the "scumbag socialist" ineligible, islamofascist, foreign born, communist basturd the People's House.
Conservatives and republicans are two different animals. Hopefully, with the help of Alan Keyes, conservatives will not have to wander in the wilderness. I could care less what happens to the republicans.
If you want to hate the GOP, that's your decision. In my book, you're nothing but a malcontent and a hypocrite.
You'd rather have your efforts go towards a fringe political party and a crazy kook named Alan Keyes. So be it. Let me know when the AIP gets one of their own elected.
vetoeing = vetoing (Duh!)
Supporters of Alan Keyes were among the earliest supporters of Doug Lamborn.
Is that all you can do is regurgitate the Obama/RINO talking points?
So, I take it you’re admitting that you didn’t lift a finger to help Rosanna Pulido, just like the entire “leadership” of your party, even though she was “your” nominee.

How's that?
Sure can. Ever hear of the Medicare prescription drug program that Bush promoted while a candidate for potus in 2000? Started out as a $150-billion ten year program for the elderly poor. Quickly turned into the largest expansion of the federal bureaucracy since Medicare itself became law under LBJ. Current price tag: one-trillion dollar government entitlement program covering just its first ten years.
How about Bush`s more than doubling of the Dept of Education budget from $57 billion to $118-billion. And lets not forget Bush`s huge increases in non-military discretionary spending.
Btw, the WOT is related to foreign policy, not domestic policy. I supported Bush`s foreign policy, b ut it was his Iraq policy by which he lost his Independent supporters and became mired in the 30% range. If it wasn't for conservative Republicans standing with the President, he would have had even lower support.
McCain was a weak candidate. Choosing Palin as his VP running mate saved McCain from a Goldwater level defeat. But it was Bush43 who did the serious damage to the GOP and help to undermine conservatism. Bush43 is why we have Obama in the WH today.
I see you're a Bush supporter and a Keyes supporter. Now that makes very strange political bedfellows. LOL
Now, how much did YOU personally send to Doug Lamborn?
Btw, Rosanna Pulido was not my candidate and I don't represent the GOP.
Again, tell me when an AIP candidate gets elected to office. Until then, you’ re just blowing hotair.
>>>>>Is that all you can do is regurgitate the Obama/RINO talking points?
ROTFLMBO
Let me know when the Republican Party “leadership” finds even a single backbone among the whole lot of them.
It's no secret the GOP is shrinking as a political party and for it to grow, serious changes will have to be made. But there are plenty of good solid conservatives in the House and a few in the Senate for the GOP to build on. Also, recent numbers show the GOP and the Dems tied in recent generic polling.
OTOH, where is the AIP? I'll tellya --- NOWHERE. When it comes to electing their own candidates, the AIP has nothing going for it. If you want people to join your AIP, you'll have to get a better strategy. I must say, right now you sure have a weird way of going about recruiting folks to join you. IMO, your association with Alan Keyes isn't helping increasing your membership either.
Well .. aside from the fact that Mr. Feder seems to have assumed that all the DC-based Republican groups are “conservatives” .. he fails to understand that republicans and conservatives are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
Also, mixed in with both of those groups are the extreme right and independents.
It’s ignorant to lump all of those groups together. It’s even more ignorant to call them all “conservatives”.
I am a conservative - my sister is a republican. We understand the difference, and realize we do not agree on some things.
This sentence is the clue: “How many conservative luminaries are willing to publicly confess that which they know to be true: that Barack Obama is a socialist who’s dedicated to destroying freedom in this country; that the media are anti-American twits; that Islam is the religion of terrorism; ... and that a belief in God is incompatible with the Democrat Party?” THE CORRECT WORD HERE IS “REPUBLICAN LUMINARIES” .. not “conservative luminaries”.
You can only judge a “conservative” if you put him/her upside a person like Rush Limbaugh. Rush never hides from saying the truth about the democrats or the “weenie” republicans. When you’re a conservative .. you are a conservative first .. and you never give up on what you believe .. no matter what.
There is no such thing as a “so-called conservative movement” .. it’s more properly named the “moderate movement”. The moderates have their own movement - headed by John McCain, Lindsay Graham, et al. The conservatives are more properly seen in the likes of Mike Pence and Pete Hoekstra.
We cannot allow ANY OF THE MEDIA to portray conservatives as “weenie republicans” .. never, ever.
And .. for further clarification - what are the “weenie republicans” going to do with the newest polls showing that 51% of Americans claim to be PRO-LIFE .. while the moderates are pushing for the repubs to get rid of the anti-abortion stance. This item alone separates the real conservatives from the “weenie republicans”.
This is the major reason the Stupid Party will not regain control of Congress in 2010.
Their leaders are too afraid of the evening news.

Are you suggesting that Jennifer Granholm would be a better Supreme Court justice than Calligula’s horse?
Ms. Pulido had no chance of winning her election. It would have been foolish and a waste of time and money for the RNC to support her.
Might be a salient point except for one thing: They say that about all conservative candidates. Wake up.
The Pulido race was very winnable. All that was needed was enough resources to turn out an additional 25,000 votes. It was a poorly attended special election.
But the Republican Party doesn't even try. They have given up on the urban areas, leaving them totally to the tender mercies of the socialist Democrats.
