NRCC/NRSC mantra of “Please vote for us because the other guys suck worse than we do.”

Now *that’s* a message to rally around.

either anymore. It’s why I’m so glad Erick chronicled all these for me and why I printed it out. The ol’ gray matter ain’t what it used to be.

the country that exported religious freedom is a “theocracy.” Defending America’s Judeo-Christian heritage does NOT equal religious intolerance.

It’s a free country. You can do your foolish third party stuff anyway you want.

But not on this website.

Ditto your slanderous ‘theocracy’ nonsense.

Fifty years ago in Georgia I proudly declared I was a “Conservative”. I am still a fiscal conservative, for small federal government, for free trade, and strong defense & immigration policies. Back then there were very few Republicans and there were very few liberals in Georgia or the South. Today the designation “Conservative” includes some additional people who really would prefer a “theocracy” and this scares many people away from being called a Conservative – including me. Perhaps we need a brand new name for people in the center left and center right which I believe are the majority of the country – too include Blue Dogs, moderate Republicans , many Libertarians, many Independents, Ron Pulistas, etc. Most of us are fed up with both the main parties , the earmarks and the corruption through lobbying and the tax code.
No one will ever get everything they want but we should go for those things most important to the existance of the nation and the economy. Whether you or I like it or not family values are already changed, abortions have been done for centuries and will go on for ever and gays will always be with us. While we’re talking names, we should begin referring to the libs as the “Socialist Democrats” to reflect their true Marxist position.

Be your own. I started a blog as a counterpoint voice to our two daily liberal newspapers. I was in Washington DC on 9/12 and will probably drive back again this Wednesday night, 10.5-11 hours, to be at the Capital to hear Jon Voight, at michele Bachmans’s request. Then we can talk to our congresspeople, republicans and democrats alike.

I will run against Dick Lugar for sure and I voted to put him in two years ago. I might have to run against Mark Souder first depending on where he stands on issues and his commitment to stand up and be counted.

People can rise within movements and within states and we can certainly come up with an agenda to ensure that our views are either represented or we have a candidate to fill the bill. I am an American Liberty Alliance member and I am one voice of WE THE PEOPLE.

in Kansas. If a liberal Rep wins the primary, conservatives are supposed to support them. When a conservative wins a primary, the liberals vote for the Dem and publicly support them..

We must purge the anti-Americans from the party if the Reps are to be the vehicle to restore the Republic.

Palin is a conservative’s conservative, and she’s become much harder for her RINO and prog enemies to hit or get a handle on since she left the governor’s job and went on the road. She can pick her battles, throw her weight behind conservative candidates in promising races, and expand her base of support far beyond one state or one state’s party organization. Maybe Palin herself doesn’t know exactly what her next run for office will be, but she also leaves her opposition guessing — splitting its forces, trying to defend everywhere and doing a good job nowhere. This lady is dumb — yeah, like a fox.

So what you’re really saying is that after the so-called moderate Republican loses, they show their true colors — Democrats in GOP clothing. RINO’s. Arlen Specter look-alikes.

The Conservative Republicans should be playing nice with Independents and Blue-Dog Democrats, so they can move forward with conservative policies and values. Everyone else gets the cold shoulder.

Did the Steelers play nice with the Cardinals in the Super Bowl? Will the moderates get their feelings hurt and take their ball and go home?
No country clubbers allowed!! They only lose elections.

loyalty to liberal dogma come before party. Its sad that for Newt Gingrich and the puppeteers at the NRCC don’t treat Conservatism the same way.

They would be more in the sense of “useful idiot” than active subversion. Having been indoctrinated by the progressives, they truly believe things like “the extreme right and the extreme left eventually meet in tyranny.” They truly believe the job of politicians is to engage in sort of bargaining Art Chance described here: http://www.redstate.com/achance/2009/10/01/comrade-obama-hahvud-and-interest-based-bargaining/ and it’s a losing proposition for Republicans.

The Spending, Deficit & Debt Control Act of 2009

“This year’s explosion of spending and unprecedented deficits – and unapologetic promises for more of the same – has made clear that Washington is either uninterested in, or incapable of, responsibly managing our nation’s finances. Perhaps both. The time has come to require Congress – by law – to control its dangerous spending appetite.”

Disclosure: I have only a superficial knowledge of his positions, but apparently he has a conservative score around 93. Past speech write for Jack Kemp. Telegenic and articulate. Young.

There has always been this double standard, and I think it’s about conservatives began to play hardball with all concerned especially the squishy GOP bigwigs. You know the kind.The kind that selected Scozzafava as their standard bearer in th NY 23rd. Well. No more Mr. Nice guy for this conservative. It’s time to stand on principle and effect change, first in the republican party and then the nation as a whole….

I have been trying to explain this to a number of conservative friends of mine. The indepenents and moderates are not attracted to someone who is unsettled on the issues – they are attracted to the candidates who can clearly say, “This is why my vision for America is better than theirs,” This “vote for me, and I will maintain the status quo.” strategy is a major loser.

But looking at how successful radical progressives have been in infiltrating the media, the universities, the schools, the bureaucracy, and now are making major inroads into the clergy, I would not be shocked to find out that there are progressives at high levels in the GOP as well.
