Thousands are rallying. People are worried, Health Care is about to become a government program and the Democrats are not listening.
They have become so arrogant, they have gotten away with this crap for so long they feel invulnerable.
2010 is a pivotal year in America. Do not vote for any imncumbents. Neither party can be trusted.
[Do not vote for any imncumbents. Neither party can be trusted.]
That’s just idiotic. What if the incumbent has a strong conservative record? It would be pretty stupid to vote against those who are on our side!
Are you saying that we should all vote against conservatives, who are fighting this stuff, and doing the best they can, in the minority?
The House Republicans are doing a TERRIFIC job.
Many Senate Republicans are also doing a TERRIFIC job.
Besides, how can you sit at your keyboard and say “throw out the incumbents” when you do not even know who they are running against, nationwide?
Things can ALWAYS get worse.
Your mentality is what gave us Obama!
I would give odds in a bet that you are a libertarian.
The State Run Media has been given it’s marching orders by Obama and are no longer providing coverage of protesters or town halls I assume cause I don’t hear about it being in the news anymore. Their attempts to change the debate to try to favor Obama and refuse to run anti- public option ads on their stations is evidence of this.
‘Red Ted’ is dead. They’re too busy slobbering and wailing for ‘Comrade Kennedy’.
I think that there are many specific targeted democrats who need to be thrown out the number 1 guy being Harry Reid...Hugh Hewitt has endorsed Danny Tarkanian and set up a $10.00 for Tark link on his website...Danny called in an spoke with Hugh on Thursday - they raised over 100,000 in 4 days because of this effort! He’s gonna need about 4 million to help beat the REID machine goons...
You talking to me?
If you’re counting on 2010 to correct whatever happens between now and then you are sadly mistaken. The fight is right here, right now. If the Dems pass their agenda no future politico will ever overturn it.
Of course I have no way of knowing if you are a libertarian but I stand by my charge that it is facile is substitute cynicism for analysis. If you had your way there will not be enough Republicans left in the house or senate to shake hands.
Your statement betrays a fundamental ignorance of how the two-party system in America operates. It operates directly on the principle of the lesser of two evils in which one chooses the lesser evil because that's how democracy gets corrected. There is no such thing as the perfect politician or the perfect political party; there are only course corrections. Ultimately, we won the Cold War because America could make course corrections and the Soviet Union could not.
Do not be seduced by relativism or relativism in reverse. It is the duty of the citizen to sort out the bad from the relatively less bad and put the fear God into the survivors. To control government by democracy is at best a blunt instrument not designed to yield perfection with every election but to provide course correction from the last election.
Hey buddy. My statement is on post #1. Check it out.
What caught my eye was, “Health Care Reform”. The current 1000+ page proposed legislation is not “Health Care Reform”. First it is going to load our children and grandchildren with unconscionable debt for their lives. Second, it will control many aspects of our ordinary life in addition to determining when our plug will be (involuntarily !!!) pulled based on some anonymous bureaucratic ruling.
What? I cannot vote for Senators Inhofe or Coburn? Get real. Some of them are actually working for the best interest of the country. Don't put everyone in the same basket please. Also are you suggesting that there will be other viable canidates running in every district?
ping and bttt
See post nr2.
You're raggin' on the wrong poster.
That’s fine then you vote for them and get the same thing you have now.
Nonsense!
You are probably a Democrat troll, or a third Party lunatic.
There is absolutely no way that your “toss out everyone” can possibly do any good for the country.
Toss out the bad ones!
Some of our elected officials are doing a GREAT job.
We simply need more of them!
YOUR stupid “strategy” will send what message? If you want us to vote against those who do the right thing, what incentive does any politician have to listen to the people, at all, since you and other idiots will NEVER vote for them anyway?
