Best news I've read all morning!

Indeed. One can only hope this will spread like wildfire, because there’s not much time left.

We warned the GOP that if they didn't change their ways we would take over by bruit force, even if it meant temporarily losing.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

The beltway RINOs must be weeing in their pants this morning...

[deaconjim]

Rush says we need to re-take the GOP rather than going third party. I’m wondering if we wouldn’t be better off in the Conservative Party to once and for all dump the “Republican” name and the baggage that comes with it.

>ping<

Long way from the rinse cycle, yet.
But, it's a start. LOL

[Joe Boucher]

It may be painful and we may lose seats BUT ridding the party of RINO turds is necessary.
NO MORE RINOs.

GOP establishment = Whig = Know-Nothing

It is when the local conventions are held that you go, get on the Nominating and Rules committees and take over.

Our power is growing.

A sign in the boys’ locker room of my high school in the 50’s read “Experience is a tough teacher. She gives the test first and the lesson afterward.” How true. And we're administering the test to the NRC now. The lesson is that we might not be able to win on our own, but we can damn sure keep you from winning too! In other words, we are going to see to it that you HAVE to listen to us if you have any hope of winning. Part two of the lesson is that we can last longer than you can. Our lives go on day to day with politics being a sideline for us. It's the other way around for you, politics is your life and if you don't win no one will contribute to you.

So, even if we don't win the whole shebang this time, we'll have made the point. And we'll keep making it until you get it.

Going Rogue Baby!

First the GOP/RNC RINO purge, slaughter. Then the Democrats.

This is a FReply all, not a ping list.

I am glad to see that support for Hoffman, or support for Scozzafava will become an issue.I have said many times before, there are at least 17 unprincipled Scozzafava enablers in the House who have donated funds or otherwise supported to this LibeRal democRat's DIABLO’s campaign. They include Boehner, Cantor, Pete 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.

But also, some of Hoffman’s supporters, and especially the TEA Party movement and the 9-12ers should be looking at the other Congressional special election being held November 3rd.

The way the RNC and NRCC have handled that race says even more about the problems in the party leadership. So far, the party has done nothing to support their own candidate in that race. Not only is the NRCC pouring everything they have into supporting a radical leftist in upstate New York, they are ignoring an opportunity to flip a seat from a Democrat to a conservative Republican in California’s 10th District. They have given almost no support to the Republican candidate in that race.

The candidate is David Harmer for California’s 10th Congressional District. He is a conservative candidate who has been a fellow at the Heritage Foundation and the Cato institute. He is committed to controlling spending, promoting economic growth, and free market solutions to todays problems.

I am also contacting the NRCC to ask why they are supporting Scozzafava in the race in upstate New York, and why they are ignoring David Harmer in this close race in California’s 10th district. Here are the numbers if anyone else wants to call:

Info from the NRCC "contact us" web page:

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.

From the desk of cc2k:

Candidates I support: Doug Hoffman for Congress, NY 23rd (PayPal), David Harmer for Congress, CA 10th (website for info). Please, spread the word about these important special elections on November 3, 209: New York’s 23rd congressional district and California’s 10th congressional district.

[when the time is right]

Third Parties always loose...we need to follow Hoffman’s lead and run Conservative candidates as Independents against RINO’s in the House and let the people decide.

Even if we loose the seat to a DEM we at least have a chance in the next election to force the GOP leadership to run a candidate who is Conservative.

[jersey117]

Go “Tea Party”!

[St. Louis Conservative]

Rush is right, third parties on a large scale are for losers. There will never be a time in my lifetime, or even my great-grandkids lifetime when a third party will ever be viable beyond perhaps a congressional district. Get over yourselves.

That being said, I do support Doug Hoffman because the GOP nominee is waaaay too liberal. What needs to happen for us is what the Dems did - conservatives need to reclaim the Republican party apparatus from the county precinct level all the way up to the RNC.

All these fools who say the “GOP is dead” are cynical, unhappy, depressed, angry old coots who love to bask in negativity and are by and large too lazy or too apathetic to put the work in to reclaim OUR Republican Party like we did during the Goldwater and Reagan days.

Ok - flame away.
