after all, they have the votes they need to do anything and everything they want. They certainly have done so thus far and will probably continue to ‘succeed’ in their leftist agenda. Oh wait, they need ‘cover’ and ‘share the blame’ for when their policies fail the American people.

I like the way you put the idea of “party of no” becoming the “party of yes” when the people are looking for an alternative to the disaster the Dems have wrought. I hope it will not be too late.

Of course, we have to have a strong, viable alternative…

until somebody voices the clear alternative.

There’s currently nothing else for people to hear the GOP say but “no.”

The public wants to here the better idea, and right now, they aren’t.

for hate crimes legislation if they included terminating the life of the “unborn”.

We actually said “yes” a stimulus package was needed, here’s ours. We said, of course there needs to be a federal budget, here’s ours. Of course there should be enhanced penalties for certain crimes, here’s the ones we think should be included.

We are the Party of Yes. Even if it is not the way the Dems want it. That is not the same as a no.

“Hell No” to staggering debt, bizarre spending, anti-job, anti-business legislation, government bullies and liars, thieving scum politicians that never get punished, raising cost of electricity and oil, mandatory social wierdo legislation etc
“Hell Yes” to Life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the constitution, simple , sensible, effective, limited government,encouraging business and job creation, nuclear power, home grown oil and gas etc

Fill in the blanks …the point is common sense and competence should underpin the party and then a firm rather than wishy-washy, me too response would work better. You can’t out compete Dems when it comes to government encroachment. I am interested in freedom and competance, strength and common sense.

I think the RNC should produce a commercial emphasizing just WHAT it is that we’re saying “no” to. No to an $11 Trillion dollar budget that will bankrupt the next generation. No to Porkulus spending bills. No to using taxpayer dollars to bail out private companies. We need to find a way communicate our ideas without having them filtered by the MSM.

as the “chickenhawk” garbage those mindless tools on the left chant as incessantly as “Yes we can.”

The GOP leadership is actually more of a “Maybe” or a “No” with an asterisk these days, the fine print saying if they were the ones in majority instead, they’d embrace it with sickening enthusiasm. Until that changes, I’ll remain happily Libertarian.

I agree with taking on the mantle of “no”. It short-circuits the argument. What I hear from my (hopefully teachable) friends is that the Republicans never offer alternatives. It’s a perspective that frustrates me because I know they are offered, just not reasonably aired in the same news cycle. I’d like to see a bigger marketing effort on the “yes” alternatives. But I don’t know how that can be done when the MSM decides who gets to talk.

The world would be a lot better off if more had said “no” to Lenin, Hitler, Castro, Pol Pot, etc.

We have got to try to change the political language we use.

For example, any time a Republican is accused by a liberal of being from the “Party of No,” he should matter-of-factly explain that that phrase makes sense if the liberal means that the Republican Party is like the “political adults” telling the “political children” that, no, money doesn’t grow on trees and no country in history has ever taxed or spent its way to prosperty. Yes, in that sense, the Republican adults are telling the Democrat children “no.”

Thank you.

That’s from Gary Graham’s terrific column, The Party of ‘No’ at Big Hollywood.

We know the principles upon which this country was founded. The principles you Lefties are always dragging through the mud. Little things like individual liberty. And respecting the flag. And love of God and country. And respect for our fighting troops. And smaller, limited government. And a dedication to our international autonomy. And the belief in peace through strength. Trust, but verify. Rugged individualism and personal responsibility.

I’d recommend if there was a button.

Proper grammar saves lives.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

than the “Party of Owe”

and here we are complaining we do not have an alternative. Stop it, they did not care about blocking everything, and it appears it worked out well. Who is in charge of everything?

Principles will never let us down.

Many realize without speaking it that denying ourselves some choices on principles actually serves our society.

…as long as we remember the principles that buttress our arguments. Being the Party of No means keeping the three core principles of fiscal conservatism, limited government, and strong national security at the forefront. Other debates are secondary, but the GOP won’t move forward if it abandons any of these three, even if Colin Powell wants us to.
