Good find! What can I say, it figures.
If we can keep the Marxists off the school board and the city council, they will never have the stepping-stone necessary to rise to higher levels in the political structure.
“Good points. I would look to the results of the 2010 mid-terms as the argument against Obama’s re-election. My concern is sustaining the Tea Party momentum, especially since we’ve been demonized and denigrated by the MSM propaganda ministry.”
Actually, I see that issue as part of a much bigger GOP problem. IMHO the establishment GOP hates the Teapartiers worse than the MSM and the DNC. They won’t support or tolerate them, as can be seen where they sabotaged 2010 tea party candidates and sacrificed seats to ensure that the TP did not reach critical mass. It was important enough to them that it cost the GOP the senate. How does that make you feel?
I don’t think that the TP can vindicate the GOP. The GOP will fight to ensure that they can maintain their status quo and continue to force candidates like McCain, Romney, Specter, etc on us.
I didn't mean to sound completely pessimistic.
The Internet is a stunning political tool.
Although Republicans tend to be slow adopters and a little techno clumsy, our independent bloggers and the rank and file have turned back many of the MSM’s most serious attacks.
The recent uproar over Rush's comments come to mind.
I thought Conservatives were dead the first day that came out.
Now, it looks like a 50-50 tie.
At this juncture, I'll take a McCain over an Obama, and continue to build support for citizen's candidates for the future.
I refuse acknowledge the situation to be hopeless.
What's your solution, short of armed resistance?
HA! Needed a good laugh today. If if’s and but’s were candy and nuts, the libs would get an Obama 2nd term.
What's your group doing?
Lauren Bloom is an excellent example of why we should repeal the 19th Amendment.
I believe that anyone who consistently reads “People” magazine should be barred from voting.
FOR MORE QUEERS! FOR MORE QUEERS!
They’re on their knees for the GOP, sucking as hard as they can.
“Actually, I see that issue as part of a much bigger GOP problem. IMHO the establishment GOP hates the Teapartiers worse than the MSM and the DNC. They won’t support or tolerate them, as can be seen where they sabotaged 2010 tea party candidates”
You are exactly correct.
Agreed!

My solution? I dunno, there are not very many good options at this point. Sometimes I wonder if a new party could gain momentum. I think that the Tea Party should have perhaps stood on its own instead of trying to blend with the GOP and change its ways. Other times I wonder if it would be easier to take over the DNC and change its course than to change the RNC. They could perhaps do more good there. The bluedogs had their impact. Heck WV’s DNC senator Manchin is far more to the right than the GOP leadership. Like it or not, Senator Byrd even was on most issues.
I just feel disgusted when I think about someone with a pro-choice, anti-gun, environmentalist, socialized medicine history becoming the standard bearer of the GOP and writing its platform. How am I supposed to feel?
We’ve been down this road before, most recently with McCain. Another case of hold your nose and pull the lever. The alternative is beyond words.
Best hope if Romney is elected is for a large class of freshman Congressmen and Senators, and the demise of the MSM propaganda machine over the next few years.
