I wonder if it may not be time to take a loss and do some purging. I'll tell you this, the RNC better be awfully careful about how they disburse my donations. If I see these scumbag moderates getting help from the RNC, the RNC won't be getting any more help from me.
To: Crackingham
I'm almost to the point of saying screw 'em, I'm done.
If the GOP can't agree to cut a small % of the budget, then why am I registered as a GOP?
Granted, the is a COMPOST article, so until I hear the new media's reaction tomorrow I won't have both sides of the issue to make my decision.

We could use a man like Ronald Reagan again.

Bush was a big part of this. He campaigned hard in PA for Specter over Toomey.
Why?????????????

Which members opposed ANWR and the budget cuts?
We need to organize and recruit conservative GOP candidates to run against these RINOs in their districts. Bring pressure on them from the right to force them to get in line if they want to win the party nomination.
Even if they eventually win their primary, we will at least get close to a year of decent votes from them in the meantime. They need to be scared straight.

I say the GOP leadership needs to hold the vote even if the moderates in the party vote against it and it fails. It will send a clear message about who needs to be voted out of office.

So have I...When they called for money, I told them I wasn't going to anymore until they started acting like the majority and doing what they campaigned on... be sure to tell them...
They don't get it .the reason Bush's numbers have gone down ISN'T because of the independents or dems...the numbers are down because REPUBLICANS are upset with the party!

It's time we STOP letting these 'moderates' get away with being Democrats in (R) Clothing.
Time to clean house, next November, best we can and install some serious Conservatives with backbones and willpower.
Are we mad enough about this CRAP to move the earth and make it happen? I hope so.

What exactly is 'moderate' about wanting to INCREASE entitlement spending in the face of two hurricanes a war and a budget deficit???? Lets just call them what they are! Liberals!!! And without the Hammer around, they think they have the freedom to caucus with the DNC.

To: Carling
"I've told the leadership they're asking for the dismantling of the Republican conference" with this budget, said Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.), a leading moderate. "The clear evidence from Tuesday's election results is that Americans are moderate. They need to start listening to us."
What is this person talking about?!?!?!?!?!? A (d) winning in NJ and liberals winning in California doesn't mean that America is moderate. It means those two states are liberal. Yeah, a (d) won in Virgina, but it was a (d) posing as being very conservative and followed a (d) who was. For this person to say this is evidence that America is a moderate country is as distorted as saying the election means we are going to automatically lose in 2006.
This country is a center-right country, bordering on full out conservatism!!!!

No, when American's can't see a difference between parties they don't get involved. They figure is all a waste of time and effort.

I say poor money into a conservative candidate that can defeat Sherwood Moderate in the primary.
If not, then let the sap lose. I honestly couldn't care less. Cut the budgets already. Is this too much too ask?

The question we need to start answering is simple: do we like Republicans acting like liberals or Democrats acting like conservatives?
An interesting observation is that the Republican party is much more conservative when they are the opposition. Look at what happened while Clinton was President - many conservative measures got passed and the liberal agenda was stopped cold.
With Republicans controlling both houses and the executive branch, the liberal agenda has been advanced more than at any other time in the last 25+ years!

The numbers are down partly because they aren't refuting the lies told, and partly because their conservative base is jumping ship. When they attempted to follow a somewhat conservative plan during the election year, and knocked down the lies, Republicans cleaned up and G.W.B. became the first since his father to win a majority of the vote.
Going silent and going Liberal is what has killed them. They deserve their low ratings.

I'm already there. I honestly can't see much difference between them and the Rats. They talk a big game, but fold constantly under pressure. The only reason, I might continue to vote for some of them is because of the fight against terror. At least most of the GOP seems to take that seriously. Other than that, they are just as worthless as the Rat party.

Get over it. Toomey would have lost if he'd run unopposed, that's what a rotten candidate he is. Toomey, Toomey, Toomey. Yeah, that's the ticket.
To: Crackingham
Nowadays, I toss every GOP fundraising letter in the garbage. Hopefully, they will take the hint. Piss on them all.
