Anyone who uses the pejorative “right wing,” an epithet used to smear conservatives, automatically loses me.

The Republican Establishment tore Huck apart after he won Iowa and they will do the same to Santorum starting Wednesday.

Willard the Abortioner is their guy.

Moderation doesn’t mean stagnation anymore. It just means slightly slower acceleration in the same wrong direction.

I will trash ALL the candidates until the nominee is chosen.

At that point I will support the nominee.

Reagan was correct.

Dead on. I can't remember a Moderate Republican candidate winning the Presidency, yet many of the same people tell us every 4 years that a Conservative can't win, for they won't appeal to the “Independents”.

Conservatives make up a plurality of voters in this Country, perhaps even a majority. If Republicans run a Conservative, Conservative voter turnout is extremely difficult to overcome for any opponent. Yet, here we are again, with most of the pundits telling us we must cater to a small minority of voters, potentially sacrificing a much larger voting block...us!

I have a very strong belief that many of the people who claim to be on our side (the Faux Conservative crowd) would actually be just fine with four more years of Obama, hence they are pushing McCain Romney.

"For years the Democrats believed they could not nominate an ultra-left-winger and win the presidency. That was one of the major reasons given in 2004 to end Vermont’s former Gov. Howard Dean’s candidacy. Obama trashed that hypothesis."

That is not true. Obama did not run as he governed. No history and hidden past, Obama ran as a moderate but governs as a marxist. That is why his support has dropped off, people are wondering why they did not see it before and why they ever bothered to vote for him in the first place.

Though he is right about moderates and RINOs also known as liberal republicans. They lose every time.

“A choice, not an echo.”- Barry Goldwater

In this day and age when the Democrats are nothing more than communists and so-called ‘moderate’ Republicans might as well be Democrats, I want a true Republican. I want a socially conservative, fiscally conservative President who runs a tough, aggressive foreign policy that other nations will have to step aside for or get blown to bits. I want a President, who, when a gun control bill lands on his desk, vetoes it saying “this is some dumb ***t”. I want a President who actually believes in capitalism. I also would like a President who was immoderate in defense of those things, shouting down the leftists and telling them to their face they are wrong. I want the choice to be laid to the voters to decide, not between communism and socialism, but communism and capitalism. I want clear opposition to the policies of the left, not cooperation, not a weaker version of it.

“Moderation in war is imbecility”- Admiral Sir John Fisher
“War is politics carried on by other means.”- Karl von Clausewitz

Based on the two above maxims, moderation in politics is imbecility.

Is King Obama back from his Royal vacation yet?

All rested up is he?
I think, he is in for a rude awakening.

Like Dole or McCain?

If the only reason to vote was who believes that the Constitution was the law, the choice would be easy.

But is this really 1803? Did we abuse this document so much we cannot go back?

I think so.

RNC, roll us out a real candidate.

Thank you.

Compared to Obama, Hillary Rotten looks like Thatcher? How stupid. When has Hitlery disagreed with the Punk during these past 3 years? Never. They are cut from the same hammer and sickle flag. Bob

No offense, but you seem to pick up on the MSM’s BS right away and promote it.

After NH we will see some coalescence, and I expect Obama to see some grief.
Ron Paul is running as the other Obama, and we have not seen that scenario before.

Paul could destroy the true conservatives in the 3rd tier, but he could also cause disgruntled Obama voters to split.

I think the later is more likely.

I expect Perry and Gingrich to come after Paul and him hard.

Are we going to repeat this unsuccessful model?


Yes.

There it is in a nut shell.. If the establishment wins. They WILL repeat it. And history will repeat with Obama serving 4 more years.

"Are we going to repeat this unsuccessful model? "

It's looking very much that way right now. We need to wait until after Florida to get a "fair and balanced" view.

I can see it now. We’re getting fixed to have an another squishy RINO shoved down our throats. We don’t get a candidate anyone but the establisGhent can stand and we lose anyway. Gutless asses. Hope I haven’t offended Jim by trashing Willard the Giant Rat.

When Mitt Romney ran against Teddy The Swimmer for the Senate seat here in MA, he ran as Kennedy Lite. He was convinced that he had to be more 'moderate', because conservatism can't win in MA. Most folks just figured if he was pretending to be Kennedy, why not vote for the real thing. So he didn't even get the % of votes that George W. Bush got from MA voters when HE ran for President.

Romney is already in trouble with conservatives. If he's the nominee, and he starts this 'moderate' stupidity, he'll go down in flames even more than John McCain did, unless he finds someone like Sarah, who can woo those conservatives to hold their noses and vote for him.
