Of course it has the reply BS wanting money while asking questions any Conserative doesn’t need to be asked Hey John – you are part of the problem – check back Nov 4 2010 for the solution – good thing for you, I can’t add you to my ballot of choice!

People who attend “tea parties” will implement change, where it needs to be!

Such a disappointment that the architect of the 94′ Contract With America that ushered in the GOP takeover of the House has forgotten what conservatism really is.

Like I have read here countless times, there is no cavalry coming over the hill to help us, we are the calvary!

Many conservatives say we can. I honestly don’t know.

The danger of trusting the GOP Establishment! Especially on the East Coast!

Crazyness.

Eh, who cares what the NYT says anyway?

Then they make sure to offend Catholics, Jews, conservative Protestants, etc. by aligning with immoral leftists.

As a Liberal…

You cannot offend, are never allowed to offend: homosexuals, atheists, environMENTALists, foreigners legal and illegal, Socialists, Communists, etc etc etc.

Actually, good leaders focus on the BIG things, and know how to prioritize.

I can think of a few things that, IMO, Leader Boehner should have been more focused on in the past few weeks that NY-23:
- Health care
- Cap and trade
- Afghanistan funding

Here’s a rational alternative explanation: John Boehner, from Ohio, chose to prioritize the NY-23 election below those items I’ve listed above. Maybe he decided to, oh, delegate the matter to Pete Sessions. Especially since we’ll be reelecting the seat next year anyway.

this was blindly obvious to all of us outside the Beltway.

Well, perhaps it wasn’t blindly obvious to Boehner because he’s busy trying to hold Pelosi at bay! Shouldn’t SOMEBODY be doing that?

Maybe that’s not what happened. I’ll admit—I don’t know. But, I’d like to see some more evidence that Boehner knew what Dede was really all about, before we add him to the pile of They Who Must Be Purified By Fire.

Our ideology and our lifestyles teach us to regard government with suspicion and disgust, and as such we gravitate toward the productive economy. The problem is by doing so we abandon the public sector to those who recognize its power and the potential to abuse it for their own personal ends.

The issue isn’t that we’re going to purge moderates from the GOP – it’s that we need to purge them from the LEADERSHIP. Where they go from there is up to them; when Joe Lieberman finds a home in the Democrat Party, then it’ll be safe for the Arlen SPECTRE’s in the GOP.

Newt makes a lot of good arguments and I still think he can craft an agenda better than anybody in either party. But he makes tactical mistakes that a hack ward boss wouldn’t make; sometimes you’ve just got to scratch your head at the stuff he does.

Regardless, where actual meetings were held, where precinct commiteemen voted in person, the conservatives were outnumbered (or at least did not have strong majorities). And, I assume, there are many vacant precinct committeeman slots in NY-23, probably like the national average (about half the slots are vacant nationwide). (If someone from the NY-23 precinct committeeman ranks can provide info on this, that would be much appreciated.)

Bottom line: we get a more conservative Party by having more conservatives in its voting ranks. That means going to a local GOP meeting and volunteering to become a precinct committeeman. And you better do it soon, as in some states the deadlines for becoming one for the next round of leadership elections will soon hit.

Thank you.
