Really?

Then pray tell, what did the Republitards do to reign in the profligate spending when they controlled both houses?

Can you name me 5 who do not accept Pork and Earmarks?

Also, please show me ONE, just ONE, Pube with a backbone (or better yet, a "PAIR") who has gone public with attacking all of Dear Leader's (not to mention Dingy Harry's and San Fran Nan's)agenda as well as his Fascist usurpation of power all the while ignoring the Constitution?

I'm a 66 year old Nam Vet who started off as a Demo-Rat, smartened up (I thought) and switched parties, that is until the party (under another famous RINO (there are many) Ford, refused to uphold his sworn oath and rolled over when Congress cut off aid to South Vietnam and left that country (and many acquaintances and friends) to fend for themselves and certain prison, torture and death.

That's when I knew the Republican party had left me and there was not a dime's worth of difference between the 2 and I became and Independent Conservative.

As an aside, what to hell do all you Beck Bashers think the Tea Party is all about?

Just because he calls them like he sees them, y'all should not get your knickers in a bunch and let your wittle feelings get hurt.

Until such time as we find some leadership and spine in the R Party, I will continue to be an Independent and support similar conservatives as I have done for the past (almost) 40 years.

Like him or hate him, Beck has done more to energize the Conservative movement than almost anyone, other that Rush and Rush, being more PC than Beck, has been reluctant to take on the Pubes and used to drive me crazy when he gave Mr. SUPER RINO and "Compassionate Conservative" George W Bush a pass.

Bill Bennett is a Cocktail-Circuit RINO who schmoozes with all the lefty MSM 'intelligentsia'.

I stopped caring a long time ago what Bill Bennett had to say after he started being an Obama Cheerleader.

"Conservative talk-show host and CNN contributor Bill Bennett said he understands why the Obama campaign is upset with the cover. "The New Yorker blew this," he said. "It has a distinguished history and great writing. I read The New Yorker occasionally. But it was tasteless and stupid. The intellectuals missed it ... and it backfired on them. If I were the Obama campaign, I would be furious at these people."

See the thing is that there are people on both sides of the aisle who like the Nancy Pelosi style of housecleaning. Some only want to get rid of red dirt and some only want to get rid of blue dirt.

As far as I’m concerned, dirt is dirt and here’s to hoping these people have good reason to keep whining about Beck. If they ever find reason to stop crying, we’ll have achieved good governance.

Okay - here is one - Tom Price (R-GA6) went face to face with Obama about healthcare. He even told him to answer the question after Obama tried to talk around it. It was on C-Span. He has been very outspoken against several issues, including the stimulus.

He was also outspoken against, and voted against TARP and other Bush agenda. He is a believer in smaller government.

There have been a few (a very few) who worked hard against the pork under Bush and Obama and I don’t believe we need to throw them all under the bus.

Did you not read what Bennett wrote?

He specifically addressed this and remakred that many GOP have ADMITTED they blew it. I’ve heard over and over myself. Why is there this resistance to give the devil his due?

Okay.

Now, do we just want bloody red meat or a real solution?

The point is, real work HAS been done by solid conservative republicans to refocus GOP efforts along conservative principles—they should be given credit, not devoured in some ‘yesterday’s news” mindless rage/temper tantrum.

I’m beginning Beck is chasing his tail in some overwrought zeal of to much celebrity, too bad— as his instincts and common sense, when not given over to maniacal self indulgence are dead on.

We do not cannibalize ourselves. It is STUPID.

Bennett is right.

CV Vet,
I hear ya!

Time to cast aside all the past “R”s who were part of this growing mess we have now.

I want a real revolution in the conservative movement, and don’t want anyone influencing of having any “leadership” position that was part of the ‘ruling establishment’ in Washington these past 20 years. Especially the last administration.

I want NEW FACES with NEW and BOLD IDEAS, who have been out front TELLING IT LIKE IT IS and that have ACTUALLY DONE SOMETHING - they have WALKED THE WALK!

PALIN, RUBIO, DEMINT. - There’s three right there.
