‘Pubs are a bunch of spine-less observers, not movers and shakers...for the most part...wouldn’t you agree?

The only fly in the ointment is GOP Chair Steele.
He is a loser.

I never understand why every Mission Statement by every organization in the World does not read simply “Total Global Domination”...

It works in politics, business, religion... You name it!

We may fall short, but that is no reason not to keep our goal in mind. We should challenge the opposition at every opportunity. Idiots like Barbara Boxer should never get a free pass... ever!

the party faithful should go full-steam

It won’t happen with Steele at the helm. Contribute directly to the politician of your choice and bypass the RINO crooks.

Here is what I would like to hear from potential candidates:

“I am not a politician, and I would not enjoy holding office. However, I am just as smart as most of the folks in Washington. I like my priorities better than theirs, and I think I could do a good job, with good people to guide me. If you don’t like me in two years (or whatever), then, heck, send me back home and find someone else. I can always go back to what I was doing, like the guys in the Washington/Jefferson era.”

I feel like the guy who sits down in a restaurant, tastes the food, and says, “Phew, even I could do better than this.”
In the same vein, this is why I did not lean too hard during the pre-election on the “lack of experience” criticism of Obama. It’s the QUALITY of experience that matters most, not the QUANTITY.
Shortcomings in the latter can be overcome by the wise selection of advisors. Shortcomings in ideology cannot. This is why I reject those that criticize Palin. Sure, she does not talk like the elite in Washington, with sophisticated phrases. She does not carry herself politically like a Romney. In fact, she talks pretty much like I would.

The trouble is Cornyn at the head of the NRSC. Last April, about two weeks before Specter jumped ship, Cornyn declared:

"My job as head of the NRSC is to guide the GOP back to a majority in the Senate," he added. "I can't do that without Arlen Specter. With him as our nominee, I can target our campaign resources toward beating Democrats and growing the Senate Republican Conference."

Since by his own admission, he can't guide the Senate back to a majority without Specter, he should have surrendered his chairmanship to somebody who can. I guess this time around the NRSC just might back Pat Toomey. Many of us little people could have told them that was the right answer in 2004, but we weren't worth listening to.

Have all of you noticed????
The "skin change" has begun with the dem/lib/progs

Other than the rinos trumpeting the tune of "no more idiotic health care bill"; you won't hear a single dem/lib/prog even mentioning it....including the islamic muslim-in-chief.

In fact...it's now all about jobs (re: clown speech in Ohio this morning).

And while I heartily agree with the results, I most emphatically disagree with the "why".

These dem/lib/progs will do anything, say anything, be anything just to get re-elected....fortunately, in this case, they are moving in the direction conservatives like....so far.

But watch them...this will be their ongoing strategy to lessen the possible severe impact of the upcoming Nov. elections. By November, any self-respecting conservative who brings up "health care" will be met with, "who, ME???" by the dem/lib/prog.

Watch...but don't give up. Replace these clowns in November.

And just as an aside....have you ever seen a larger bunch of dem/lib/progs running scared while still holding a 59-41 majority in the senate??? It is to laugh!

And speaking for and as only one little Wisconsin-ite, I've already written to "find-the-gold" and let him know he's being fired in November. Of course, that's way more notice than I got!!

Also sent the same message to rep. kind...he's fired as well.

A Palin/Backman ticket sounds wonderful to me. They both have the backbone and stones many of the GOP wimps on the hill lack.

Because if they did have a backbone and stones they'd be shouting like Scott Brown did about OBAMA's WAR on Seniors and our Retired Military

Last night I attended a candidates' forum hosted by our county level GOP for its committee members. I'm not a committee member, but since I called to inquire, I was invited. I am encouraged. The stage was filled with six candidates vying for the GOP endorsement. All six had small government, fiscal responsibility, national defense and pro-life messages. Of the six, two or three look like pretty scrappy candidates with energy and the ability to think on their feet. The other three seemed weak in terms of presentation, energy level or other factors. I spoke with our county GOP leader and he is very pleased with the slate of potential candidates, and said he is sick of going to the polls with lukewarm candidates. It sounds like the party is getting the message, at least in some quarters.

This is all in Pennsylvania's 13th District, a gerrymandered district which encompasses parts of NE Philadelphia and Eastern Montgomery County. We're currently "represented" by Allyson Schwartz - a partisan Dem sheep. The endorsement will be made on Feb 8th, and then we'll see. Most of the candidates said they'd withdraw if not endorsed. I suspect there will be a primary though, since one candidate said he'd run regardless and a second refused to be pinned down.
