“In a letter last week to Miss (Sen) Collins, though, Mr. Craig explained that the White House is not trying to circumvent Congress. “We recognize that it is theoretically possible that a president could create new positions that inhibit transparency or undermine congressional oversight. That is simply not the case, however, in the current administration,” Mr. Craig wrote.”… the new positions Mr. Obama has created within the White House “are solely advisory in nature” and have no independent authority.”

In New Speak per G. Orwell (“1984′) “…theoretically possible…” must mean something like “…no way, Jose…” although the reality seems different to me.

They really do have contempt for us who live out here in the real world. I wish our own would stand up and defend us. Maybe we do need a new party, one dedicated to the proposition that all of those who represent us in Washington and our state houses, are required to be honest and their word is their bond. Further that they are recognized as full citizens of this country and are subject to the same laws and obligations of every citizen. And they have no rights or privileges not fully and obviously justified by their responsibilities and full information is freely available on REQUEST about all actions taken in our names or purporting to be for our benefit.

Palin is nowhere near ready for high office although she can be one day if she’s willing to put up with the crap….which she won’t.

Now, I fully understand being beyond frustrated but, what I don’t understand is people refusing to see the painfully obvious result of splitting the base, unless, that is their design to begin with.

I encourage everyone to go to www.LifeandLibertyPAC.com and/or www.MinutemanPAC.com — listen to the radio ads, and give a small donation to increase the Independent Expenditure ad buys being made in the NY 23 race to help Hoffman.

Even a little independent revolt goes a LONG way in provoking DC fear.

One thing that the GOP fat-cats track is “unruly” IE financial commitments made against their anointed candidates that they have foisted on the Party faithful — in contested primaries, or in specials like we see in the conservative revolt against the appalling Scozzafava.

They don’t like it, it worries them, it sometimes make a real difference in GOTV.

The only way that conservative principle is going to get reasserted again in the decisions and candidacies of the Republican Party is if the rank and file, the grassroots, THE DONORS enforce their will on the idiots in DC. These characters have become so corrupted by their power, prestige and wealth there that they haven’t a clue any more about the actual needs of the country. They will care only when it begins to affect them inside their Beltway bubble.

They STILL CAN”T HEAR US! Help run ads, and deliver VOTES! and by some time in 2010, some of them will begin to get the message. If we leave to them, nothing is going to get better. Nothing.

Per Rick Moran-

“That number won’t change anytime soon as long as the national GOP keeps the same people in leadership positions who caused this mess in the first place.”

Amen Amen Amen

Maybe just maybe, becker might be proven wrong with his opinion that McCain will not be going away anytime soon. Not that I want to prove becker wrong, but, the tide is a chagin’. And, so many think of McCain first as the ruiner of the party.

I simply return all my requests for contributions to the GOP with a note saying when I see some hard line action and conservative principles beiing applied I will donate until then..don’t call me I’ll call you. I’m not alone.As co-founder of a local Tea Party group the whole movemnet feels the same. No more Rinos just to fill in seats with R’s after their name.

Fast forward to 2008. We did what the “elites” told us to, didn’t we. And WHERE was all the “moderate” support for McCain…from Powell??? from that supposedly “enlightened” idiot columnist Kathleen Parker??? No. They all jumped aboard the Obama Express.

I say we win when we put forth sound, sensible apologetics for CONSERVATIVE causes..including the sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage.

“Republicans support the private practice of medicine and
oppose socialized medicine in the form of a government-run universal health care system. Republicans pledge that as we reform our health care system:
- We will protect citizens against any and all risky restructuring efforts that would complicate
or ration health care.
- We will encourage health promotion and disease
prevention.
- We will facilitate cooperation, not confrontation,
among patients, providers, payers, and
all stakeholders in the health care system.
- We will not put government between patients
and their health care providers.
- We will not put the system on a path that
empowers Washington bureaucrats at the
expense of patients.
- We will not raise taxes instead of reducing
health care costs.
- We will not replace the current system with
the staggering inefficiency, maddening irrationality,
and uncontrollable costs of a government
monopoly.” (Pp. 37-38.)

Hasn’t it been refreshing to hear our Republican “leaders” like Cantor say these things over and over in front of the Minion Media and on the House and Senate floors?

Yeah, right.

Well, that’s what our platform says, in part, anyway.

If only we had enough conservative precinct committeemen to demand that the principles and values of our Platform be followed. And that incumbents like Cantor would at least face a conservative Republican challenger in the primary with the backing of all the grassroots conservative precinct committeemen of both Virginia generally and in his district.

One can dream.

Thank you.

Interersting history essay, Vanishing. The actual beginnings of the Republican party came from Abolitionists and Free Soilers (from New York!) in 1854; they surpasseed and then absorbed the Whigs and Federalists.
