Conservatives have good reason to remain optimistic and hopeful with a number of positive developments in recent days showing a renaissance underway on the Right.

Following the drubbing we received in the 2008 elections (losing not just the White House to Barack Obama, but seeing Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid expand their majorities in Congress) things weren’t looking so great — there were many words written and said by conservative pundits decrying the sad state of affairs for right-thinking Americans.  Some conservative pundits and leaders even jumped ship, preferring to seek out greener pastures on the other side of the fence.   For the weak-willed ideological prostitutes who wanted to be “loved” rather than to fight for what they actually believed to be in America’s best interest their motivations seemed to be based on a sense that:  The Other Man’s Grass is Always Greener.  But of course, the point is that’s an allusion.  The grass really isn’t greener on the other side, and Arlen Specter soon found that out for himself when he joined the Democrat Party only to discover that what looked to be fields of green on the ranch of Senate Democrats, were really nothing more than a wasteland of tumbleweeds being blown around by the harsh winds of political reality.

For those conservatives who stayed loyal to the cause, there are a number of promising developments that can fuel the soul and reinvigorate the heart to fight on against the liberals currently entrenched in our government.

In California, voters in this bluest-of-blues state last week overwhelmingly rejected liberal budgetary propositions that sought to extend tax increases to pay for the out-of-control spending by the Democratic legislature and a pair of fiscally irresponsible governor, RINO (Republican In Name Only) Arnold Schwarzenegger and before him the famously Recalled Gray Davis.

In Pennsylvania (where Sen. Specter is left to scratch his head wondering where all that green grass that looked so enticing went to) a new poll finds that conservative Republican challenger, Pat Toomey, is fastly gaining ground on Specter.  And conservative groups will be strongly backing Toomey, providing him the financial and grass roots support he’ll need to keep gaining ground.

In Nevada, my organization has launched a full-scale campaign to “Defeat Harry Reid” and took on Reid and his friend Barack Obama when Obama came to Las Vegas last week to try and raise millions of dollars for Reid’s faltering campaign.  Polls show Reid is losing ground too – and is in much worse shape than Arlen Specter.  We were all over the news reports in Nevada – and Harry Reid and Barack Obama have been put on notice that their liberal big-government, tax-hiking policies of bailouts and growth in government are going to be rejected in Nevada, and it won’t just be those liberal/socialistic policies going down to defeat, we’ll be taking the Senate Majority Leader down with them.  One conservative Republican challenger, former Assemblywoman Sharron Angle, is already preparing a campaign to take Reid’s Senate seat in the upcoming Nov. 2010 elections.
