		<description>and as for 1/21/09 - yes, we are. 

But nothing else could have unified us so strongly, nothing else would do so much work for us in exemplifying exactly why conservatism is better than the alternative. Having a bunch of Republicans running around mouthing ideals would have been discounted as hypocritical crying - not so much now. In a way, Chicago was a gift. A Really sucky sucky sucky Super Sucky gift, but he (and Waxman Pelosi et all) are tremendously polarizing, and arrogant , and that works for us, not them. So even when I&#039;m angry, I bare my teeth and smile. The only way we lose is if we go to the elections un-prepared for the same bs we saw at the last, and that we&#039;re seeing now at the townhalls.

He keeps this up, we keep putting pressure on our Congressman and his - we might force a few balls to start rolling. We *might* clean our House before 2012 and belay some of the damage. Or we might not. Either way there&#039;s a long road ahead.

		<description>Hi folks - I&#039;ve never posted, but have been a member for a few months(ish). I&#039;m in WA, District 8, Dave Reichert, yes I know I watched him do it. He is aware of my feelings, and is apparently aware of several others judging from the comments left on his latest op-ed.

 I visited Willis&#039; blog and left a couple of comments - both posts I read were so stupid I had to ask myself why I was bothering. I expected more. 

I think Ashleigh will survive quite nicely, btw. 

I&#039;m curious about two things I&#039;ve seen here, I haven&#039;t figured out what they mean - nt &amp; sc*ubbed.  Scrubbed? I wasn&#039;t able to figure it out in the context, any explanation would be appreciated : )</description>

		<description>Ashleigh&#039;s response, OTOH, was pure class, and was direct, polite, and well reasoned. Ashleigh, in her response, was a great exemplar of conservatism, and I hope that the fringe left will be disinclined to attack her on the Valdosta campus (though somehow, I doubt it).</description>

		<description>Ugly talk - even on message boards - never helps. 

I&#039;d like to hear the redstate take on two things:

1. How do you feel about regulating the practice of rescission? It seems to me that providing someone insurance for a couple of decades, and then dropping them when they file a claim, based on a technicality, is abusive. Although the quoted number is that this affects only 0.5% of customers, it seems likely that 100% of them &quot;got sick&quot; - otherwise their insurers wouldn&#039;t have pored over their files for an appropriate technicality. Rescission adds directly to a private insurer&#039;s bottom line. How do you get it to stop, without disrupting the insurance companies&#039; business model?

2. FedEx is eating the USPS&#039; lunch. FedEx is more expensive, but better, and went into business long after USPS was entrenched. Would you be opposed to the government as an insurer &quot;of last resort&quot; - as long as it didn&#039;t disrupt private insurers?

Thanks guys.</description>

		<description>of a white trash, hillbilly, cousin-dating Ellie Mae Clampet.  The girl has more class in her nail clippings than these detestable liberals have in their entire regime!  

As a matter of fact, as a female who also attended VSU and who certainly would&#039;ve been at the same town hall meeting she attended had I still been at VSU, I find their comments about her doubly repulsive.  

It just goes back to the same tired, typical liberal tactics they&#039;ve used for the past umpteen years--don&#039;t confuse people with facts or answers, just distract them with personal attacks and smears.</description>

		<description>The Left is insane and it&#039;s only going to get worse.

Our whole family has been viewing these town hall videos and reading the shocking stories tonight. As soon as SEIU and other union thugs are involved in anything, the violence escalates. People are going to start getting killed.

I don&#039;t think it&#039;s hyperbole to speculate that this country is heading for a type of civil war - over liberty and tyranny. And our side cannot be intimidated into silence any longer. We are going for broke. It is our freedom, liberty, and property that are at stake, and the statists want to steal all those from us and render us slaves.

I&#039;m proud of Gladney, Ashleigh, Rep. Kingston, and all who are fighting for our liberty and against tyranny.</description>

		<description>Erick you and I know there are going to be more people who are dragged through a pile of broken glass like this by the Left in the coming months.  

There will be more and after today&#039;s warnings from the Oval Office they&#039;ll be more frequent and even more brutal.  

We don&#039;t have very strong libel laws like Britain does, but why can&#039;t she sue?</description>
