Now Hear This, Now Hear This.......American Conservatives Speaking
Col. Riley's Corner ^ | Col. Riley

Posted on 06/07/2008 6:52:20 AM PDT by do the dhue

TO: John McCain and the RNC,

Your latest solicitation for our money has a lot of “I want…” statements in it. Merely saying “I want…” does NOT impress me and won’t get the job done!

I would like to hear some “I WILL…” AND MEAN IT !

If you want our money, and our vote, then “WE WANT” some ACTION from the RNC and John McCain!

GET YOU HEAD OUT AND PAY ATTENTION…. WE ARE SERIOUS AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT VOTE!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that we WILL DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW, AND PAY LESS! The stupidity of sitting on trillions of cubic feet of our own natural gas and billions of barrels of our own oil while begging Arabs for more is beyond insanity! We want refineries, clean safe nuclear power, and STOP BURNING OUR FOOD FOR FUEL!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that the borders WILL be closed and NO illegals will get ANY amnesty or special consideration ahead of those waiting to enter legally!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that employers of illegals will be prosecuted. The illegals will go home on their own… and real wages for real Americans will rise!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that federal funding will be withdrawn from “sanctuary cities”…. immediately! I obey the federal laws… so should city officials… or defund and prosecute them.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ONLY strict constructionist federal and Supreme Court judges will be nominated, AND that they will be supported, in hearings! Abiding by our Constitution has worked to get us here… it will work for our future!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that NO new taxes bills will be signed!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that there will be NO carbon tax schemes and NO so called “global warming” or “climate change” agreements catering to the fear mongers claiming “man-made” climate change. The world climate has ALWAYS changed and puny mankind cannot control it! The facts, evidence, and tens of thousands of scientists, say it is a pure hoax, a lie, and a grab for money and power and it MUST be stopped before it destroys our economy!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ALL earmarks will be vetoed!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that Social Security will be reformed and made solvent to end the illegal Ponzi scheme that will devastate the retirement of so many!

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to oppose all forms of abortion, oppose same sex marriage, oppose civil unions of same sex couples, and support marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to retain “under God” in our pledge of allegiance, our coins to retain “in God we trust”, and English declared the official single language of the United States.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that if United States security is threatened, before American military forces are committed, Congress will issue a “declaration of war”.

Newt is offering you a “Platform For America”! READ IT!

http://www.americansolutions.com/actioncenter/petitions/?Guid=bf4a5257-45e3-4a94-97fc-57e2d7ecb6f9

It is a comprehensive list of what the overwhelming majority of “Americans” have said we want! If you are smart, you will use it in a Republican Platform! It is a winner for you politicians and for we American citizens!

Also check out http://buchanan.org:80/blog/2008/06/pjb-bush’s-black-list/

When John McCain, and the RNC, make these strong commitments, we will again support Republicans with OUR money and our vote!

But, NOT UNTIL THEN… IT IS TOO IMPORTANT!!!

DO YOU HEAR US…. OR ARE YOU NOW DEAF TO REAL AMERICAN VALUES?

Thus, a flat tax, fair tax, etc., alone is the best system.

Oops...that should have read "NOT" the best system.

Good post and the RNC leadership needs replaced with strong Conservatives or this party might as well become the old Democratic party.

Today we're coming off an extended period of (perceived) consertative dominance. Many people view their problems as being caused by conservatism. They're ready for a backlash against conservatism.

Exactly. So if we're going to have liberalism in the White House, let's have it attached to a (D), so the backlash can come to the right afterwards, not further to the left!

I hope they're equally willing to take responsibility for the consequences when we are dealing for the next few decades with the problems caused by Obama as president, a filibuster-proof Senate, and perhaps four new liberal judges on the Supreme Court.

Wait a minute. Why should I be held responsible for the fact that most Republicans chose a liberal rather than a conservative? Why shouldn't we blame those who vote for McCain instead of a cosnervative?!?

I hope that those who vote for McCain instead of Barr are prepared to take responsibility for the big-government mess that results if either McCain or Obama win.

Seems like Conservative are ignored

Seems like it? Its a fact pal! Why do you think he is trying to hard for Democrap voters? He wouldn't have to even do this if he wasn't going to loose the Conservative vote big time. McCain knows that conservatives aren't buying his crap! He will not appoint conservative judges and will make President Bush look like Ronald Reagan when he's through!

I agree. Third Parties are not strong enough. But if people don't take a stand, they will remain weak. At some point, you need to recognize that nobody is listening to you.

I am not suggesting that we NOT hold our noses and vote for McCain...I am suggesting that we actually reward the Conservatives still fighting the good fight on the floors of the House and Senate by sending THEM our money.

Excellent!

I read many of these posts against this article and others, and sense defeatism setting in like rigomortis.

We’ll never have a chance in November if we have become stiffs by June.

" ... McCain has an uphill climb against a strong headwind. It isn't helped by the apparently large numbers of conservatives who intend to boycott him because he isn't sufficiently pure ..."


Sufficiently pure?

How about being contaminated beyond any ability of reclamation?


" ... I hope they're equally willing to take responsibility for the consequences ... "


You pontificating types make me laugh.

If you took the entire FR membership and they all withheld voting for that pathetic RINO, it wouldn't be a drop in the electoral bucket.


Enjoy your chains ... they will be made of pure socialism.

Like I said, I will vote for McCain, but I am not sending money to him or the RNC. I know a lot of folks who used to send money to the RNC, but they are not doing it anymore. Most of these people say they stopped sending money when the border issue was hot.

So, I will vote, but get the money for your campaign from the guy who wants open borders.

"Oops...that should have read "NOT" the best system. "

I like your analysis. I do wonder if income and wealth can be joined unless, perhaps, there is also a kind of 'progressive tax' on wealth. Yes this does sound heretical but perhaps helpful to upward mobility to put wealth back into general circulation. Nevertheless, tax solutions may be of limited value if the leftward voter shift would be better addressed by private industry which was the vehicle used to create income/wealth disparity.

What is 'good for General Motors' is not what is good for the voter if the 'country' is now viewed as the 'world'. The corporation now belongs to the world but the voter belongs to the country. Maybe some remedial statesman will arrive with the wisdom of Solomon.

There are more RINOs then there are DINOs.

I would agree. It will be interesting to see what happens with those Republican seats that were recently lost to Dims who ran on Conservative positions.

Why stop with oil? Maybe we should conserve our land and import all our food. Maybe we should shut down all our extractive industries and live off the rest of the world’s bounty.

Some of Reagans speeches were presented on the Laura Ingraham show this week.

Totally breathtaking in substance and delivery. No wonder he won in landslides.

The GOP has entered into a liberal message and has jumped the shark.

It's not defeatism. It's realism -- accepting that the next four years are going to be BAD, no matter who wins in November.

> We’ll never have a chance in November

There's no chance now. The only way that will change by November is if both candidates get hit by meteorites, and we get a second chance at picking a real candidate.
