Preventive care for men?

In fact, how about we let people decide.

And it will fail, like it always does.

Pathetic.

I swear I read it here on Redstate somewhere. The McCain Amendment addressing Medicare cuts sends the bill back to committee causing a delay likely to kill the bill and requiring another 60 vote motion to bring it back to the floor.

I have no idea whether the trick will work or if the leadership needed to agree to votes on these other amendments to get to the vote on the McCain Amendment.

It looks like the GOP is trying to kill the bill to me. And if they weren’t I’m sure ya’ll would be posting about how idiotic it was for the leadership to sit on their hands.

…once the government gets control of healthcare, they will do whatever they want.

It’s already happened in Canada, where the provincial government changed the coverage and raised taxes to deal with their “shortfalls” in the health care budgets…while health care gets no better.

Thus far, his management of this process has been completely inept. This monstrosity could be defeated in the Senate but they are just f^(king it away for the sake of the “club” and to keep the cocktail party invites from their Demo buds coming. Disgraceful.

I thought the final part of the strategy was to let Lieberman filibuster the darn thing to death while looking like they are not the obstructionists… but then I’m an optimist…

Of course the RINOs could be trying to help make it work as much as possible as well… that would be suicide for the nation as it stands now… does “deliberately destroying the economy” fall under acts of treason? Just wondering…

Fact of life.

Keep melting the switchboards, the servers and their fax machines.

In this battle, the only people that are going to represent us is us.

I am sick… I am sick of the lack of Conservative leadership in Washington. I am sick of the Republicans playing nice with the Dems in an effort to appease all sides of the political spectrum. I’m just sick of this all!

To all in Washington I am serving notice, notice that you will be voted out if you don’t start leading this country and stop playing these political games! None of you deserve your jobs, democrat or republican. Not one of you! Do you hear us? The American People are sick of your junk and we are going to vote you out of office beginning in 2010.

The problem is, not enough people who claim to be “conservative activists” are involved in the real rough and tumble of Republican Party politics. Threats from registered voters about how things are going to change in 2010 are empty unless backed up by real action. It’s precinct committeemen who elect the leadership of the Republican Party. It’s precinct committeemen who have the biggest impact on who wins in the Republican primaries.

Fact: On election day in 2008, HALF the Republican Party precinct committeeman slots nationwide were vacant. The Party that opposed the Debtocrats was at HALF STRENGTH.

Fact: On election day in 2008, in Maricopa County, AZ, the heart of “Goldwater Country,” of the 6320 precinct committeeman slots in the Republican Party, fewer than ONE-THIRD, 1,989, were filled. When I moved to AZ I assumed the Republican Party was at full-strength and robust. Boy, was I mistaken. Because of the apathy and lethargy of conservatives here, the Party is weak. Just look at those numbers. There are 694,000 registered Republicans in Maricopa County, but only 1,989 were actually involved in internal party politics. That is pathetic, no?

Fact: Michael Steele is a reflection of the split in the Party between liberals/moderates/RINOs and conservatives. Imagine if that 50-50 split suddenly went 75-25 in favor of conservatives. It could. If conservatives filled up all the empty PC slots overnight.

Redstaters: Want to send a REAL signal to the Republican “leaders” in Congress and the Party itself? Then become a precinct committeeman NOW (deadlines for becoming one so as to be able to participate in the next round of Party leadership elections are fast approaching in some states — do you know what they are in YOUR state?)

Here’s where to start to learn more: http://www.redstate.com/martin_a_knight/2009/05/05/the-committeeman-project/

Redstaters: Ever been to a local GOP meeting? Have you ever been a precinct committeeman? “The GOP” could care less what you think if you are not PART of it as a voting member. We conservatives CAN change the leadership of the Party by . . . drum roll . . . changing the leadership of the Party. But you ONLY get to do that if you are a precinct committeeman.

Every state is different. HOW to do this is a closely guarded secret in some states. In others, the process is simple and well known. Go here to see how it’s done in some states: www.theprecinctproject.wordpress.com

Gee, it took me all of about three hours on a Saturday morning to go door-to-door in my precinct to get the signatures of 10 registered Republicans or Independents to qualify to get on the ballot. My local GOP legislative district leaders gave me a precinct walking list and a map. I took my kids with me on a Saturday morning and they got their first real civics lesson. I’ve recruited two of my neighbors to become precinct committeemen. It’s fun. My precinct went from 4 of 8 slots being filled in 2008 to now full strength.

Bottom line: we conservatives have to get into the trenches and that means going to local GOP meetings and volunteering to become a precinct committeeman. (It’s called different things in different states — but the important thing is to become a “voting member” of the Party to you can vote for the leadership and vote to endorse the BEST candidates in the primary elections.) In some states and counties you’ll have to DEMAND that you be given the information to become a voting member and roadblocks will be thrown in front of you — no one will call you back. You will be ignored. But, your country is at stake. You must assert your right to be involved. Drag every conservative friend along with you to the meetings.

This is a pure numbers game. Want more conservative Party leaders? Then you have to be in a position to cast votes for them.

Want better, more conservative candidates winning the Republican primary elections? Then you have to get out of the bleachers and onto the political playing field as a real player — a precinct committeeman. Odds are you will run unopposed. It takes only an hour or two a month. Isn’t your country worth that?

Don’t expect someone else to do it. YOU have to.

Ever hear any of the incumbent Republicans talk about this? Almost none will. Why? Because they are TERRIFIED they’ll awake the slumbering conservatives, who will come into the Party where they reside and then support a BETTER, MORE CONSERVATIVE “non-professional politician” in the primary and defeat them. The number one priority of virtually all incumbents is to hang on to their cushy seat in the legislature — ergo, they like the status quo just fine. So they don’t say a word about this. Go to the new GOP.com website. See if you can find any information about this. Well, some guy named Cold Warrior posted some info about it. But that’s all I was able to find.

I hope you will become a precinct committeeman asap.

Thank you.
