Are you better off than you were two years ago?

The percentage of the public who pays taxes has had their withholding reduced by of the left, and will have to fork out more than they expected. The right needs to capitalize on this.


Do you want a voice in the direction of our country's future?

The public is getting sick of having no say, and having the leftists ram legislation through without discussion. This is beyond left and right. This goes to right or wrong, and folks are waking up to it. The Tea Party effect is contagious. Pass it on to every independent (I'm one) and every moderate democrat you meet (they do exist).

Lets not get too giddy about this situation yet. Remmeber the RNC/GOP is still lead by the hate Palin, hate Rush, hate the conservative base crowd. But time may be on our side. Florida has run out the GOP chair there and there is a lot of rumbling across the country. We may see a landslide with real conservatives.

I truly hope Brown can defeat Coakley — but if that did happen, it would be a sign of the apocalypse! No way Massachusetts does THAT unless Jesus is JUST on the other side of the clouds heading THIS way lol

Without Specter's defection, Obama wouldn't have health care.

I would bet money that, if he had remained a Republican, Specter would have crossed over and shamelessly voted for Obamacare.

As a Republican, Spevcter wasn't as trustworthy as the Maine sisters.

“The GOP has nothing to celebrate about. Democrat troubles are strictly of their own doing, and there is no assurance that Republicans won’t botch it as badly as they did the last time.”

I have to admit I have high hopes for this November but you are right, if there is any organization that can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory it’s the Stupid Party.

People across the country are calling, and Tea Party and 912 groups everywhere are getting involved as well. This will be a low turnout election and if all of us make calls for the next 12 days with a HUGE get out the vote calls on Jan 19th then we CAN win. Scott's vote is #41 in the Senate and KILLS Obamacare, Cap and Trade and anything else the Dems throw at us. Do NOT allow another progressive backed by SEIU into the senate!

The Dims know these radical encumbents are history, so they actually increase their chances of holding seats by driving their current scum out and bringing in new liberal scum.

At first I was cheering the drop-outs and then realized you are right. Scum is being nice. . . especially if this is being planned in the White House. . .

Thanks for the reminder. I just gave him some dough.

To all, please let me add this important reminder.

It’s all well and good NOT to contribute to the RNC. They’ll not see a nickel of my money until they PROVE they back principled conservatives.

It’s all well and good to say that, instead, you’ll contribute to deserving candidates individually.

Just please don’t remember to do the former, but forget to do the latter also!

GIVE TO THOSE WORTHY INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATES. PLEASE.

Cloakley worked as hard as she could to keep Gerald Amirault out of prison. Cloakley protected a child molester for God’s sake!

Cloakley is unworthy for national office.

Cloakey could be defeated if pubbies were to hammer her role in keeping Gerald Amirault in prison for those last three or four years over the airwaves day and night.

Because the local media were largely responsible for fanning the flames of the Amirault witch hunt they have not been eager to reveal the dimensions of the injustice they helped create. The public is largely ignorant of the serious issues with the original prosecution, which is a shame.

I noticed Anne Coulter took off on this point, too. Those responsible for Amirault's fate include many people who played a far larger role including four Republican governors, including Mitt Romney and that rat bastard, Bill Weld who backstabbed Ed Meese.

Coakley has shown herself to be a weak, politically craven hack, but in the Amirault affair there are literally dozens of people more culpable, starting with Scott Harshberger who originally prosecuted the case.

>> No, they can’t “seize” the chamber.

True dat, but the tremors a Brown win will send through the foundations of the ‘Rat party will be a thing of beauty.

We’re talking the seat once held by TEDDY KENNEDY! “Liberal Lion of the Senate”! If Teddy F’n Kennedy’s seat is lost then NO ‘Rat is safe!

Your post #10. Absolutely correct. There is a Dem in Crook County Illinois running for Crook County Board President, shamelessly selling himself in his ads as a vote for “change” from the old way of doing business. The lib Dems are getting on the bandwagon of voter discontent by offering new lib Dems to replace the old ones...

The Dems. make this announcement after Obama returns from Hawaii. The Dems. are operating a Secret Society to pass the Healthcare bill. What is the big secret they do not want us to know? Why do they want to fool the public?

The Amiraults were railroaded in a witch hunt. There is absolutely no creditible evidence that they were guilty of any of the charges. Cloakley was just negligent in not allowing Gerald to be paroled or released sooner. He could have been paroled years earlier if he had admitted guilt, but he resolutely refused to.
