*** "I especially want to thank punkneo Douglas Feith for faking documents on his home computer so we punkneos could dupe our lapdog, President Bush." ... "Without Doug we would not have been able to transfer trillions of US dollars into the Mideast, into the pockets of war profiteers, which enabled Richard Perle to startup an oil business in Iraq with his cut." ***

If Eric Holder wants to start investigating, charging and indicting people in Dubya's Admin and his 'advisors' he should start with those two maggots. I'd have a party the day they were convicted.

And 'little Billy' should crawl back under his rock. That neocon pos was the first to publicly bale on Dubya when things in Iraq got tough. When I heard him start slamming Dubya on 'Special report with Brit Hume, I almost 'did an Elvis' to my TV. He is utterly disgusting.

It is time to stop blaming the conservative voter and start blaming the lame duck party.

Right on.

I don't remember RR being behind JC double digits late in the campaign. I do remember the polls being tight. I also remember the press and many of the GOP “leadership” claiming RR was nearly unelectable.

The GOP best head RR’s “let them go their own way” speech from 1974 or 1976. “No pale pastels” but “bold colors.”

This is not about “moderate” or “conservative”

This debate is about leadership.

the aristocrats of the countryclub are worried their inherited “leadership seats” are in danger. (see john mccain’s roots)

There IS NO GOP leadership

Citizens do not like taxation without representation.
these leaders do not represent U.S.

“we need to be more inclusive...”

Too many of the Pubbies have fallen for this occult racism..because in falling into the “diversity trap” laid by the Democrats, they deny the universal rights ALL men and women and gays and lesbians and blacks and cripples and greens and atheists may claim under the Founding Fathers principles. By claiming the need “to be inclusive” they validate the Dems position that these rights ARE meted out irregularly...and are NOT natural rights that flow from God..which any truly successful National Political Party will serve only to reinforce and maintain for all of us.

It’s about elitists vs individualists.
Who gets to decide what you do? You, or some elite who thinks he knows better and therefore has the right, AND THE DUTY, to make you do what he knows is best?

The elitists mostly infest the democRat party, but there are a goodly number of them in the GOP.

Time to get them OUT, and give the people the clear choice between self rule or elite rule.

This is the first year of democrats power. Republicans dont need to ‘go positive’ as MSNBC, CNN, McCain and Grahm are demanding. All they need to do is drive up democrats negatives
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The 2010 elections should be more about denying democrats anymore seats and taking away a few just to prevent a rubber stamp for Obama’s agenda. That's the short term plan.

The long term plan then should be more focused on making the McCain, Bush, Graham wing of the party the “fringe.”

Forming a third party is not the answer

I’m with you - I think the GOP is finished unless they swerve sharply right.

A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user. - Theodore Roosevelt

As vividly illustrated by Rep. Joe Wilson, elected Republicans are seeing the benefits — national media attention and fundraising — from embracing the trash-talking style of talk show hosts”

Naaaah.
Biggest trash talking lunatics on the planet have been Keith Olbermann, Nancy Pelosi and Dingy Harry Reid. It's been the case for years. Funny, I have never seen any articles from these clowns about hard line left wing lunatics from Daily Kos, moveon, DU , Keith Olbermann etc, keep spewing out the most rancid, vicious hate speech this country has ever seen.

because they come off looking shallow, sharply partisan or just plain odd to persuadable voters.”

Tell that to Keith Olbermann, who 0bozo just invited to the white House for a “private briefing”.

The only Republicans standing up to Beck and other conservative activists right now are familiar iconoclasts like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and New York Times columnist David Brooks”

Both 0bozo loving Vichy Republicans. Neither are conservatives.
They are both irrelevant.

Congressional leaders are backing moderate Dede Scozzafava, despite her liberal views on abortion and other issues, because they think she has the best chance of winning this swing district. “

HA!
If Dede Scozzafava is “moderate”, I am Mother Theresa. She is a hard line, left wing radical, who's views on gay marriage , the “stimulus”, card check, etc are to the left of most Democratic voters, let alone Republican voters.
People like Dede Scozzafava need to be CRUSHED at the polls.

Why does the GOP leadership think we need to turn left?

Easy. They seek the approval of the Washington DC elites. They want to be spoken of well in the WaPo and NYT ed pages.

Well to a point you’re right.

The polls were all over the place and for the most part pretty tight, but Gallup had JC ahead by 9 points the last week in October within two days of their only debate. That was Oct. 29 and it was RR all the way from that point.

(Not double digits...sorry).

Those that seek the approval of elites are themselves elitISTS - those who believe that the elites should make our individual decisions for us.

This ilk need to be purged.

I remember a Dem strategist on GMA with then David Hartman all giddy because JC had a small surge in the polls near election time. LOL!!

Of course, the election was so bad for Carter that he conceded the election after the results from the NE and some of the South came in.

But at least he conceded. I don't see the Chicago thugs doing that.

And they do this at their peril. They are so fixated on positive press from the SRM but fail to see that more and more Americans are rejecting the SRM

I don’t think so but the Conservative Party or the Constitutional party would welcome us with open arms. The only problem with that would be getting on the ballot in all 57 states.

You are so wrong. I was once sucked in by these phonies, too, but my eyes were opened when I saw them use my donations to buy radio time trying to convince me that Bush was more dangerous than Gore or Kerry. That was a great big lie.

I also know now that these cowards had nothing to offer me. Every one of them knows they will NEVER be elected to anything running as a third party. They only only affect an election by throwing it to the dangerous RATS.

If these people had any courage they would be staying in the Republican party and strengthening it. Some of them would even be in office right now. I have to believe they don't really want to affect government in a positive way. Their actions elect RATS.

It takes over 50% to win an election and they had better stay Republican because they're never going to get fifty percent as a third party. Dream on!!

Roaring is a fine start but conservatives need to really bear their teeth and start biting chunks out of the worthless GOP leadership’s asses.

This race in New York’s 23rd Congressional District is a good opportunity for the conservatives to show their strength.

Doug Hoffman is the Conservative alternative in this race (or Hoffman by PayPal).

Markos Moulitsas, founder of The Daily Kos has endorsed Scozzafava. Dede Scozzafava has also been endorsed by NYSUT, the largest labor union in New York, and an affiliate of the National Education Association.

Scozzafava also holds these positions:

Scozzafava has also run in past elections on the Working Families Party (a progressive party associated with ACORN) line on the ballot.

This lady isn’t a RINO, she is a big “R” libeRal democRat. Mark Steyn has coined the term DIABLO for her and others like her. Democrat In All But Label Only.

There are also at least 17 unprincipled DIABLO enablers in the house who have donated funds or otherwise supported to this LibeRal democRat's DIABLO’s campaign. They include Boehner, Cantor, Sessions, Hensarling, Brown-Waite and McCotter. I don’t have a full list, but I will be looking for it. These unprincipled enablers should be targeted for elimination in the primaries next year. Also, perhaps those of us who donated to the RNC or RCCC should ask for our money back so we can support the conservative candidates of our choice.

More threads ...
From the desk of
cc2k:
I support Doug Hoffman for Congress (PayPal).

Please, spread the word about this important election on November 3, 2009 in New York’s 23rd congressional district.
