Independents Now for GOP
Politico ^ | 9/23/2010 | JEANNE CUMMINGS

Posted on 09/24/2010 10:41:05 AM PDT by Lakeshark

A good sign, but NOT one that the GOP elite should take as a harbinger of support for them. We are literally fighting to save this country from destruction; the GOP, right now - in the hear and now of exigency, are simply a medium. Most Conservatives’ desires would be realized sometime after righteous power has been restored with their conveyance out of Washington DC on a goddam rail, tarred and feathered!

Nov. 2nd, 2010 cannot come quickly enough.

Then we must stomp on the "lame ducks"....ALL the lame ducks before January.

In point of fact, we, as citizens should demand a congressional recess from midnite, Nov. 2nd until the new group takes office in January 2011.

Absolutely correct sir. First things first: Neuter the Obamacrats by tossing out their congressional majority!

As many commentators have been saying to Republican Establishment guests, the indepenents care about the future of the Republic, not Republicanism.

They have a chance here, it up to us to make sure they don't blow it.

The Independents need to make a pledge that they will never ever vote for a liberal leftist again, and only will they vote for Conservatives who uphold the US Constitution.

...resignation...

Unfortunately I don't think we can make the senate veto proof this time around.

Next time we can (2012), and get rid of him at the same time!

Nice dream though. November 2nd!

If independents had any of their vaunted acumen, those who voted for the Obamanation would not have drunk his Koolaid. Let’s hope they make up for their gullibility and stupidity. No, I haven’t forgiven them yet, but hope to on November 3.

If they did that they would be conservatives and not independents. :o)

" If they did that they would be conservatives and not independents. :o) "

You can’t convince a fool of his folly until he has fallen into the ditch.

Well....stranger things have happened...,

...a lot of us didn't think president Zer0 could ever be elected dog catcher, but look what happened....

....every crazy thing he does just adds a few more people to "our side", and the great thing is that he doesn't seem to notice, or he don't care, or the probable reason:, his crazy ideology is forcing him to do the crazy things he does.

His crazy wife, his crazy VP, his crazy "advisors, his crazy "czars" and his crazy cabinet members are not helping him much to "win over us folks" either.

The independents. It’s hard to know if they are truly principled in their indepence, democrat mole-trolls or simply fools who are easily swayed.

Still, it’s an example of how poorly the GOP has exemplified and educated the public on sound conservative principles, that we continue to worry about the finger-in-the-wind independents.
