They CAN do everything they want to to sabotage your campaign. I saw plenty of dirty deeds done by Wagner, the current RNC co chair and her buddies. I saw some very good and better qualified candidates pushed out because they were not 'insiders' and refused to tow her line and that went right down to local elections.
"I've blasted my reps on this terror bill, and I will be personally seeing my congressman himself soon over it at a party function. I'll bluntly going to ask him "Did you read the bill????": GOOD! I will too since I cant get an answer from her office yet.
"I'm on the same side as you and the other ones I'm discussing with here."
Good Im glad :-)
"I firmly believe we have two possible scenarios. The first I can't mention on the internet. It's from a semi-famous book about a man named Henry that takes place in Missouri."
LOL
"That leaves the other one. ALL of us join the parties(dems too if that's the only party that wins), take control, run for office(starting at County commish, city council, township board, school board, sheriff(for cops), prosecutor(for lawyers)) or help like minded people run, and develop a base. Then work up and take the states over one by one by one, all the way to DC."
Been there tryed that...Yes, local elections can be won by true conservatives, in small to medium size towns and not in big cities. You cant make it past local level or cities with a true conservative. The SRP/RNC wont have it.
Once you get past local level and in cities thats when the State Republican Party starts getting their fingers into it. You either have to have lots of money and/or connections to the 'insiders' to make it through the mud slinging, backstabbing and down right mean crap, that the state party will do to you. I have seen it.
"Out problem is that our people stayed home, wern't active enough, and don't have the same dedication as the freedom grabbers do. (all of us, including myself)."
I had more people willing to volunteer than any other election. The base was solid. Now thats no longer true. More people will stay home this next election, thats a given here anyway and not volunteer for the republicans like they did. Bush has pissed off the base that got him that narrow win
"It's time to be as ruthless as the bad guys are. I'm sick of being nice."
I hear ya! Thats why I will leave and if nothing else make a statement to the republicans. They wont listen when Im voting for them and working for them. They pander to anyone who does not vote for them. I went for the win last time and lost big time with Bush and many others.
Lets go back to that Bank Secrecy Act for a minute. Under that law you bank must file a report with the Imperial Federal Government every time you engage in a transaction with the bank involving more than $10,000 in cash. If you deposit $10,000 in cash the bank files a report. If you withdraw ten grand, the bank files a report. Are you told the bank is filing a report? No. Are you given a copy of the report? No. (I guess this is where the secrecy comes in.)
The next time I'm in the states I think I will see how many times, in one business day, I can withdraw and deposit the same $10,000.01.
Dan, with all due respect sir...don't you really mean...
I voted for Mr. Bush, and I support him 100%. If he signed an executive order that strips away our Constitutional rights and lied about a sunset clause, well, that's a shame - but he's a Republican and I'm sticking with him.
Like buying gas at the same place for years on end? The purchases are all related; tank empty.

Here's is your chance to do something besides complain about our system. Download this, print it out, and get anyone over 18, who is a U.S.A. citizen, to sign and mail it off to the listed address. Exercise your 1st Amendment rights to support the 2nd Amendment.
What? I've been away. What's this about lying about the sunset clause? I thought there was a sunset clause. There's not now?
H.R. 3162 provides a 4-year sunset for sections 206, 201, 202, 203(b), 204, 206, 207, 209, 210, 212, 214, 215, 217, 218, 220, 223 -- at the end December 31, 2005, with the authorities "grandfathered" as to particular investigations based on offenses occurring prior to sunset.
But this sunset doesn't cover section 802, which is arguably the most threatening component.
And honestly, few Congressmen will vote to repeal this Act, because it will be political suicide! So it will stay on the books indefinatley..like so many others.
