ding, ding. I said more than a few times, that we were given a choice between an amputation and a slow bleed. Yea, I reluctantly voted for McLame, but I also realized only an O victory would awake the sleeping giant.
Bite me, RINO lover.
I love Rush Limbaugh but he is not on our side. Yes... He speaks the truth but he also uses that truth to maintain the status quo. We are the frogs sitting in the pot of water as the heat is being turned up and Rush is one of several media personalities convincing us that we don't need to jump out.
Sorry! I'm gone. I'm tired of RINO's usurping the will of the majority of the American people. God says to beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. Well the RINO's aren't even having to put on their sheep's garments anymore. Too many "Republicans" can't tell the difference between a Conservative and a Liberal and yes... Moderates are LIBERALS!
Conservatives For America (CFA) or Conservatives For Freedom (CFF) works for me but enough of this one party system that keeps trying to pass itself off as a two party system.
Again... This is my opinion but one I am going to act on.
I agree. The RINOS need to be viewed as individual cancers taht require surgical removal with the utmost precision.
It is never the responsibility of the party leadership to present to us an acceptable candidate.
It is our duty to raise up one who will resolutely reflect and accomplish our highest aspirations.
Ronald Reagan cut taxes and deconstructed the Soviet menace.
While the Rockefellerettes boo-hooed and wrung their hands.
Mega-humongous-dittoes!
You said what I was gonna say, but you said it better.
To Hell with RINOS and with kneejerk commentators like Limbaugh: fourth generation Republican.
PRINCIPLES BEFORE PARTY!
SUPPORT SARAH PALIN!!!
What happened was as the GOP became more successful, and more importantly, became the National Defense Party, ideas like fiscal conservatism got drowned out. With a Republican president and, after the retirement of Dick Armey, a new Majority Leader leading the GOP who were not interested in fiscal restraint, but instead were more interested in big “majority expanding” initiatives, far too many Republicans followed. After all, they were ‘winning’, and they were able to convince themselves that in these extraordinary times, there should be no restraint, neither fiscal nor constitutional, in the defense of the nation.
I agree with Rush.
Those electorial votes probably would not have, but give a more honest Florida, PA and Ohio and those two states would have made a huge difference. I’m not crying over McCain not being our President, but I shudder to think abject stupidity would give us a full 8 years of Obama as President — or longer... people who are thinking third party are not thinking strategically and are actually thinking total destruction of the USA......
>>The “party” on either side is never the problem<<
Can’t believe...you actually believe what you just wrote.
The people have very little influence in Washington.
This is a government of, for, and by the corporate and foreign lobby.
If more people fell in primaries like Cannon did in Utah last year then the people in DC would pay more attention when we speak out and tell them they are on the wrong path... but when only 8% of the population show up to vote in a primary, as they did last year when Chavettez beat Cannon, then we the people ARE the problem.
Amen!

In other words, “Elect Juan McCain (or any other big-government Establishment blowhard) if you have to...as long as ain’t Obama!”
“As we are poised for huge gains in the 2010 elections another newby signs up to fight to convince conservatives to not vote for the GOP, we are seeing more and more of that lately and my guess is that as republican momentum over the democrats for the congressional races build, that we will see more of it.”
Interesting (actually, not interesting at all, just expected) you should accuse me of this, as I view party-firsters such as yourself as working to keep conservatives on the plantation voting for your own pet brand of socialism. You have no desire to force reform on the GOP, do you?
“The Republicans and Democrats are exactly the same, the Republicans just despise their constituents more?”
Who did McCain attack during his run? His own party or the enemy? Who is he attacking now and who is he helping?
“That sounds a lot like projection, something liberals are masters of.”
Which liberal? Obama or McCain?
“people who are thinking third party are not thinking strategically and are actually thinking total destruction of the USA......”
At this point, that’s going to happen with either party in charge. Repeating the same action over and over expecting a different result isn’t helpful. The GOP needs to understand it doesn’t own us. If it wants support, stop blowing it when we put them in power.
As we are poised for huge gains in the 2010 elections another newby signs up to fight to convince conservatives to not vote for the GOP, we are seeing more and more of that lately and my guess is that as republican momentum over the democrats for the congressional races build, that we will see more of it.
Signing up to get liberals elected is not a conservative strategy, trying to dampen the chances of the Democrat party suffering a body blow in 2010 is not a conservative strategy.
