But 100x more important than the truly conservative change in the Republican Party is the sea change that is taking place in the hearts of Americans as we've started to wake up and realize that life is no longer a game.
You ‘re not a compassionate conservative.

<ranting chorus>"Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate!!"
"Thank you, thank you ..... thank you verra much, I'll be here all week ....!"
Have the conservatives run as Constitution Party candidates. While it might ruin the race, it will also make it clear that conservatives will no longer play ball with idiot Rinos who believe they own the Republican Party as a divine right.
It’s got to stop.
Hoffman has better name I.D. I don’t think that Doheny can overcome that.
Let’s make sure Doug Hoffman wins the Republican primary...

Can’t say it better than nathanbedford.
Thanks for the ping!
Well. I’m extremely sorry to hear this bad news.
Yes, I agree that these folks are out to line their pockets. But they are also certainly the stupid party, when they do things that absolutely ensure that they will lose elections, as they seem eager to do again in the 23d.
The Dems are totally corrupt, but at least they have the good sense to play it to win.
As for Democrats putting socialism first, what is socialism but the most successful proven method in history to climb on top of the political heap, screw the people, but put a veneer over it so the people thank you for screwing them.
I used to say exactly that to others: if you vote for a 3rd party, then the dems will win. I thought I was right.
But then there was a whole series of betrayals by rinos in the pub party: voinovich, snowe, collins, graham, mccain, harkin, brown, specter, etc. Now the pubbies are talking about giving up on pro-life, and pro-family and turning to choice and same sex marriage.
Well, they’re doing it without me.
A vote for a jackass liberal is no different than a vote for an elephant liberal.
Since I lose in my conservatism with the Pubs, I might as well lose while trying to establish a home for conservatives.
Anyone who ever thought the words “Republican” and “Conservative” to be interchangeable was and is TOTALLY misguided!
They are not and never have been.
And the NWO wins buy a knockout.
It's going to take a changing of heart of We The People to turn this around. If enough hearts change then the following happens
If…My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
If not? Then our leaders are indeed our earthly judgment for our hearts as a people. Right now the Constitution Party is the remnant of the Reagan GOP. It's founder was one of three men who helped bring about the Reagan years and a cultural turnaround or awareness unseen in years. Howard Phillips was one of three co-founders of The Moral Majority. Paul Weyich who thought of it and Jerry Falwell a DEM at that time was the third.
As far as I know it was Paul Weyrich which back in late 1995 was among the first to sound the alarm the GOP was selling us out. The first one he exposed for doing this was Trent Lott his former friend. There was a lot going on many didn't know about and weren't hearing. By the 2006 presidential election it was too late.
Yes the ills of today were present even in the 2006 convention in the speeches given but no one was listening those who were stayed home in 2006 in disgust. Not many were listening in 2000 when men like James Dobson were snubbed and Log Cabin GOP embraced by the GOP POTUS candidate. Dobson was a Reagan adviser. This week we likely know the reason why with the outing of a Bush adviser and former RNC chairman.
If we truly believe in our values and convictions then in faith we need to start acting upon them even in the voting booth. Though it may seem futile at the time it is part of putting the verse I posted into action.
Our Founding Fathers were hardly a majority nor were the ones who opted for war with Great Britain and the crown to win our freedoms. They were men of faith. Not perfect by any means some actually were deist in their beliefs but none the less they had faith.
I can't give a Liberal Republican a vote anymore than I can give an alcoholic family member a drink because it takes down the rest with them. It's enabling. Sometimes when you stand against wrong you will loose. That lesson was taught to me the last two years in something I knew in my heart I was doing right. It doesn't mean I don't continue the fight to right the injustice but it means some things you place in GOD's hands for Him to resolve to His will and glory in His time. Whether it's fighting for abused kids or fighting for the survival of our nation the fight is the same and the same GOD presides over both.
With more and more people being outed in the last few months who wore conservative disguises and deceived many the more I know my leaving the GOP as a straight party ticket voter back in 2000 was correct. It's a matter of moral conscience to which man should listen and obey. Doing otherwise can bring serious cause and effect issues in our spiritual lives. I don't vote for a person because they might win or even a lesser of evil if it's one or the other with no other choice I vote neither. I vote for the ones who stand on issues because they are right stands to take.
Voinovich is retiring this year. Snowe and Collins are probably the best you can do in Maine. Ditto Scott Brown in Massachusetts. McCain just ran to the right of J.D. Hayworth. Specter defected and was defeated anyway. Harkin from Iowa is a rat.
Now the pubbies are talking about giving up on pro-life, and pro-family and turning to choice and same sex marriage.
Who is?
Crying Bigotry: Last Refuge Of The Liberal
Note what connects these issues. In every one, liberals have lost the argument in the court of public opinion. Majorities — often lopsided majorities — oppose President Obama’s social-democratic agenda (e.g., the stimulus, Obamacare), support the Arizona law, oppose gay marriage, and reject a Ground Zero mosque.IMHO, there are more opportune fish to fry at this time. You have to play the hand you're dealt, but you, a chaplain, want perfection? It's time to use the Tea Party movement to take over the GOP, IMHO. It's something like Clinton's, "It's the economy, stupid." No, I'm not calling you anything. I'm just quoting.
If you were outraged at Dede Scozzafava, wait until you see their latest candidate, Matt Doheny.Thanks neverdem.
Maine is not as liberal as MA, VT, RI, CT, NY, NJ.
It’s about as liberal as NH.
Maine could have a more Conservative Republican instead of Snowe or Collins.
Provided LePage wins Governor, he could be Senator later perhaps.
‘Chairman Ed Cox continues to push his son’s candidacy over conservative and district favorite Randy Altschuler at the expense of losing an opportunity to unseat three-term Democrat Tim Bishop.’
Dick Nixon’s GRANDSON is running for Congress? Time sure marches on.
Sobering stupidity.
Gotta admit the demo’s don’t make this kind of mistake - Greene (NC senate race) a very rare exception - but even so, the democrat’s race-blinded minions followed their true colors.
It’s not called the STUPID Party for nothing. I’m hoping the Tea Party Movement can inject some common sense and integrity into the GOP. You can see why NY needs its Conservative Party. The NYGOP has too many idiots.
