You win in the primaries...

But after a few minutes reflection, perhaps we need to instead start earlier this time, and with the steely resolve, that WE OWE TO THE GI's and MARINES.... and nominate a team that will give us back a chance to avoid at least some of the catastrophe that many of us foresee and fear. But after what many also perceive as unconcerned pokes in conservative eyes, the only way the Republican Party will regain what they lost, is to sift through the candidates available to us, and back a more effective team next time.

The best option when considering the Socialist/Communist Democrats and the increasingly left leaning RINOs is to create a third party that will replace one of the former two.

"You buy your ticket, and you back your team."

Obviously not a Detroit Lions fan. Many Lions fans cheer for the opponents because they realize every victory (few as they are) helps extend failed policy (Matt Millen's tenure as GM).

How many third partys do we need?

The third party that needs to be created is within the Republican Party. A new party doesn't have grass roots orginizations in every county in the country, the Republican Party does. New partys don't have fund raising orginizations, the Republican Party does. Third partys don't have equal ballot access in most states, the Republican Party does.

Wouldn't it be easier to take charge of of an existing organization, than to reinvent the wheel?

I like Mitt Romney, but I do not think he is well known enough. He would probably do well in the northeast and some of the western states. I do not know about the south. John McCain seems to be the front-runner in the news. I would like to see Condi on the ballot

Factor in about 50 million new voters, many who don't speak English, after the illegals are legalized. The somewhat educated,liberal morons at work only think about what the government will do for them. What do you think these uneducated masses will do?

I fear for the future of my country. abu-masri is celebrating the demoncrat victory. What's that tell you?

[BW2221]

In a number of places, there's no proof of citizenship required to register to vote. My guess is that a number of illegals already are.

First things first!

RNC Chairman

Ken Mehlmen is stepping down. The name Steele has been put out there. Anyone else and who is in charge of appointing this position or is it put to vote? Can we have an influence in who gets this position? I suggest it's someone who isn't associated with this administration because they will be gone in 2008 and we do not need their influence anymore when they won't be here to face the consequences.

Second

Congressional leadership

Pence and Shadegg are running for leadership positions. We must push as hard as we can to see that new people or people who have stayed true to conservatism get these positions.
When do they hold the vote for these positions?
When would be the best time for us to contact our representatives to show them we support electing these people to these positions?

Candidates for POTUS '08

I suggest we put as much of our weight as possible behind conservatives who actually stand a chance of getting through the primaries. Star names aren't gonna kick it like Guilliani and McCain unless you like reviving the Perot vote of '92/'96 and thus giving the WH to Dems at 40% of the vote.

Here are some names for you all to think about.

Mitt Romney, Gov Massachusettes
(little iffy, I've heard he flip flops on the issues depending on where he's running)

Mark Sanford, Gov South Carolina
(the guy I've been stumping for here on FR the last couple days http://www.petitiononline.com/msan2008/petition.html)
Someone trolled the petition but I'm trying to get ahold of the guy to remove the offensive signature >_<

Rick Santorum
(yes he lost in PA but he is beloved amongst conservatives and could run for the sake of getting VP)

Haley Barbour
(heard he did well after Katrina)

It's time to stop "bickering and arguing about who killed who" and start rebuilding.

You need not guess, it's a fact!

Dick Cheney (after he's convinced not to retire)

[anchorclankor]

We need grownups in the Senate too. Jeff Sessions if needed anyplace should be on the Supreme court if not the senate.
Newt for president
Trancrado for president
Hunter for president
Take your choice and as an added bonus
John R. Bolton SEC OF STATE

The third party that needs to be created is within the Republican Party.

What Republican party?

A new party doesn't have grass roots orginizations in every county in the country, the Republican Party does. New partys don't have fund raising orginizations, the Republican Party does.

The Republican party wasn't a national force until the mid 1850's. The party didn't occur suddenly out of thin air. It evolved with a grassroots effort strong enough to replace one of the two existing parties at the time, the Whig party. If the Republicans could do it as a third party then another party can replace either the RATS or the RINOs.

Wouldn't it be easier to take charge of of an existing organization, than to reinvent the wheel?

The organization you refer to no longer exits as did in the past. All they have left is the party name. Their character has changed. It has shifted so far left it is increasingly difficult to distinguish the between the Republicans and the Socialist Democrats. It is time to build a new wheel that won't sacrifice its core principles.

[Eagles6]

That's a good point. They all may be voting democrat already and it won't change a thing.

We need to learn from Reagan versus Ford in the 1976 primaries.

The votes had been counted and Ford had won, but Reagan was pressured to make a speech.

By the end of that speech, the entire room knew it had made a mistake by going with Ford.

Lucky for us, Reagan didn't give up.

Our primary system needs a lot of work if we want to make sure Reagans don't get beaten by Fords.

Lindsey Graham MUST BE DEFEATED IN THE PRIMARIES



The thing that is difficult is that if he wins, then everyone says vote for him....you must

[BW2221]

The Motor Voter Law that Clinton pushed through really increases the possibility (or should I say probability) of voter fraud.

[SShultz460]

Good point, however our leadership is gone already and it's time to gameplan to re-take it.
