Either that, or bring back tar and feathering or the stocks on the steps of the Capital building for public humiliation of all those who dare to pad their own nest in favor of doing the business of the people......
Gottoo agree. When the electorate’s choices are reduced to a democrat and a wanna-be democrat, they will choose the real deal. And the Supreme Court card is a lame excuse to vote for McLame. The dems will have more than 60 senators after the election and no conservative McLame might nominate will pass muster. His only defense would be to leave the liberal slot unfilled shifting the balance through attrition. McLame is a big-government guy and would never play hard ball with the dems...patty-cake is so much more rewarding.
Personally, I prefer the Mexico analogy. They had a one party political system for more than 100 years. See what it got them?
You could say that the movement toward a one party system in the US is really just part of the Mexicanization of America.
Of course, they had one party systems in a lot of other notable places too, like Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Maoist China.
You could be right, but I have heard on the morning news for a local talkradio show host, some of the people who had voted for Hilary said they will vote for McCain. There is so many divisions as seen among the Dems, which has been going through a civil war as of sorts thanks to OPERATION CHAOS for the last few months. This has left the Dems bloodied. Do not count McCain out. Just a thought.
Which District are you in?
Full Disclosure: I moved from Phoenix back to Minneapolis last summer. Couldn't stand the heat.
Cheers!
Gosh, I wonder if the pubbies hadn’t ABANDONED THEIR CONSERVATIVE BASE, the base wouldn’t be screaming “A POX on BOTH your houses!”
Yes. Interns and airport restrooms.
Cheers!
No way. Obama beats McLame easily. McCain can only beat HILLARY! because she will have driven black away from the party through theft of the nomination. Obama sewed it up last night. We’re in for a brown-shirted goose-step to the far left come January 2009.
Same here.
Your party’s message isn’t good enough
Are you sure, the USA to be very blunt, is not ready for a black President.
(?).
It's not the "message." It's the record and the policies.
When things in Washington got tough for Newt, he quit. I guess maybe he is far right compared to Bush and McCain, since so many so-called conservatives are also quiting now that it's really getting tough.
Do they? Or is this some other version of Operation Chaos?
Covered that in the first sentence......
Wow! talk about getting the message bass ackwards.
The Republicans are in trouble because of center-left politicians like McCain, not because people on Free Republic call him on his politics.
The real fact is the Republican party has spent the last several years treating its base shabbily and will continue to treat us badly until November when the "chickens are coming home to roost." in the words of Mr. Obama's minister.
The RNC, members of congress and political hacks have brought this all on to themselves. The conservative base has been in a bad mood for yrs now and has repeatly voiced their concerns but the elites didnt listen. In 06 Ive read where about 16% of the normally R voting base stayed home.
Maybe we will be in better shape in 2010 to fight back but we need leadership with a spine.
Exactly! Cong Cole has laid out the plan and did it very well at our GOP Convention. I like the fact that he is telling every candidate that the ball is in their court to run good campaigns. These candidates have been wasting money on TV ads that irritate viewers. Their consultants need to get off their high horses and run lean campaigns that connect with voters.
Let the fat cats that have been there for years get back in touch with their constituents and walk the doors like Oklahoma’s Cong Mary Fallen did in 2006 to get elected by a wide margin.
More accurately, we have Freepers who believe that we don't have a horse in the race.
