It looks like CA has to do just that. Keep fighting. Anyone with a D after them will vote strictly for their party. There is a chance, with pressure (Snowe, Collins for example) the R’s will vote conservative. CA put themselves in this position. It’s going to be a long hard battle to correct it. Do you honestly think a true conservative can win in CA today, even to dog catcher? Perhaps the next election, or in 4 years. Let’s just get rid of any rat, and move on to the next election, the next battle.

A lot of you think all conservatives will win every election. It’s not going to happen in the commie states.

Also, you all have to build your farm teams. That’s where you’re needed the most right now.

the flip side is that if we keep voting for RINO’s we will never have a conservative. I don't mind losing an election to achieve a better long term result. Case in point, zero and the current congress. As a result of their past victory, we are in a better position to place some conservatives in power. Alternatively, we could keep watering down the party until both think alike.

I agree with you 100%. We need hard Conservative Republicans in the red states to govern from the right, and fill in with RINOs in the commie stats. Like Brown filling “Ted Kennedy’s seat”, you aren’t going to get solid Conservatives from the Coommie states. You have to be happy with RINOs from those states to give us majority numbers in the House and Senate, and elect true Conservatives from flyover country to actually govern from the right.

1. Get a Republican majority.
2. Dump the bums who lead the GOP replaced with true conservatives.

That is the winning prescription. RINOs from the commie states are the best we can do there and help the conservative cause by keeping GOP majorities in the House and Senate for the true conservatives to govern.

Yeah man, you’re absolutly right on point, but the all or nothing “purists” will want to take their ball and go home to pout.

While they always hold Reagan as their standard. They forget that his axiom was always to get as much as you could reasonably get and go back later for more.....they forget that his campaign tactic was to secure the base and then run to the middle...... In these days Reagan would be labled a “RINO.” These same purists would be saying “Reagan? I’m sitting this one out till a real Conservative runs!”

No matter how they view Carly, her sitting in Ca’s Senatorial seat will be 1000 times better than Boxer.....and no amount of phony holier than thou posturing will change that simple fact.

Whereas I have no influence what-so-ever with Boxer, I’ll at least feel I have an ear with Carly, and hopefully can influence or re-inforce her positions through my input.......

Get a grip folks. Boxer is as dumb as a box a rocks, but she is an experienced campaigner, fights dirty, and has beaten both rocked ribbed conservatives and moderates easily is past elections. She has never faced another woman, especially one like Carly that has been in the trenches before......

In the 18 years we have had Boxer as a Senator, this is the first time that I think her re-election efforts will fail .......I expect that Carly will be trading blow by blow punches with Boxer during the run up to the general, and be giving a lot more than she receives....
