Someone on another thread here on FR mentioned that Alinsky’s book never gave instructions on how to handle an uprising of patriots!
Obama and the Democrats don’t know what to do. But I bet you anything Soros does, and it involves panic, death, pain and lots of bodies.
The next forty days or so are going to be nailbiters.
The “moderates” have always prevailed upon our good graces demanding that we support them even when they didn’t support us, for the greater good as they defined it.
The spectacle of seeing the “moderates” refuse to lose graciously has actually been liberating. They are not us. We no longer have to pretend that they are.
They need to step aside. They can sit quietly in the pews toward the back or they can leave. They were never worth the trouble anyway.
Its been going on since the mid-90's when John Warner refused to support Ollie North. It's been worth the wait though, watching 'em scurry away like Rats ...
You mean Mike Castle still hasn’t come out in support of Christine O’Donnell? Oh, my. And the RINO establishment promised he would be such a team player and be instrumental in blocking the Obama agenda. Apparently Castle is as big of a useless RINO a$$hole as we all knew he was.
Thanks for sharing.
To those hand-wringers trashing O’Donnell, who in the words of Rove, jeopardizes Republicans’ chances of a 49 seat minority with a 48 seat minority, I say, “I would sooner lose an election than lose my soul.”
Now it is time they stop their sniping and rally behind O’Donnell, if they really do care about that all important 49th seat.
We aren't sports fans who get all excited just becuase our team won, in spite of the fact we don't actually benefit materially thereby. Get this, GOP: Where's the beef? We want ALL of progressivism rolled back as though it had never existed! All the way back to 1789! But you haven't even been able to roll back The Great Society, let alone the New Deal, the Income Tax, the Federal Reserve, Wickard vs. Filburn or any of the rest of it. Why should we vote for you?
Mike Castle was already preparing to switch parties once he won the senate seat. The Democrat opposition was sacrificial. O’Donnell is not the weak candidate in the Delaware race, the “bearded Marxist” Coons is. His job was to lose easily.
There must be a party that guards the rights of The People. Republicans have done nothing for the last decade except legislate our rights away at a slower pace that the statist Democrats.
Well, good riddance to Mike Castle. Our consolation is that, due to his age, he’ll be among the first to be denied life-saving treatment under ObamaCare — but hopefully only after Andy Griffith goes down first.
You just know socialized medicine is bad when one begins to take pleasure in the demise of the pricks who forced it upon you.
NB, thanks for the reminder...I read this when you published it in 2008 and thought that you nailed it then. Thank you and FR for all you have done and will do. God bless America!
Excellent post and comments. Bump. We need to communicate the conservative message to women. They still are polling Democrat in most political races. I’m not sure why the message of fairness and security isn’t reaching them as successfully as men. Left politics is who you know and who you pay off; the small businessman gets destroyed by the big businessman who has lawmakers in his pocket. Children go without because their families can’t afford the good things that children should have, whether it’s a decent education or a learning game or a trip with the family. The left creates an unstable system because of economic ups and downs that are magnified by selfish and simply wrong actions by a giant government. Security is non-existant for anyone in a system that ignores the law in favor of power and connections. I think women are more reachable through their “social networks” their group of friends and their facebook pages and community groups. We have to enter those, conservative women have to enter those and persuade.
Having tea party candidates win elections proves nothing.
The very essence is what will they do when in power? That has always been the problem.
Spot on. I’ve see way too many Freepers wringing hands over a “lost majority”, etc. O’Donnel came from behind from as many points in the primary as she will have to do in the general. She not only galvanized the vote, she electrified the turn out. Delaware is the only, or one of the only states where one could actually campaign against an admitted Marxist! Coons is toast, and I base that on my having predicted every upset so far.
I’ve been working in campaigns for and supporting conservative candidates since I was 14 years old (1962) and this year I am finally going to see everyone believing as I do! I don’t drink a whole lot anymore, but I’m going to have a bottle of Balvenie ready for election night and knock it totally off, and Karl Rove be damned.
With the destruction of the traditional family structure, many women are depending on the government, and the socialists are manipulating the dependency masterfully. Find an independent thinking, conservative woman and you’d better marry her. Ann Coulters, Michelle Malkins, and Sarah Palins aren’t that plentiful!
She should hammer him in ads with that exact statement. If he admitted to it, it’s fair game.
The answer is very easy. Men typically operate on a basis of logic and “Git ‘er done”. Women typically operate on a bsis of emotion.
Being one who was very lucky to have married a woman with both atributes with the balance leaning to the logic side. She sees the problem easily.
That’s why Palin has to be careful not to go too far with it and make the appeal itself sexist, but her ‘Mama Grizzly’ outreach is potentially a very powerful move—that gets her still more flak from the left.
