PART SIX -- in my JUST SAY NO SERIES: KeyWord: JustSayNo2JohnMcCain .... The focus of PART SIX in my "Just say no" series is on the RNC itself.. I have recieved several solicitations/phone calls from various RNC fund raising efforts, Have You? I would like to encourage you to JUST SAY NO - To the RNC this cycle... I would encourage you to send any contributions you have made in the past to the RNC to CONSERVATIVE candidates for the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate. I know this will take extra time/effort, but we need to send the message that WE <-- the conservative BASE <-- SHALL NOT BE IGNORED by our party.... and IMHO a vote for John McCain will DESTROY the conservative base of the RNC... In response to the FReepers who think they should "HOLD THEIR NOSE" and Vote FOR McCain.. I ask you to reconsider this option, unless you want to completely DESTROY the two-Party system and move our party so far to the left that the base is completely ignored in ALL FUTURE ELECTIONS...
Please pass it on...
I invite you to read the previous “Just say NO” threads
http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/justsayno2johnmccain/
I have cut the RNC off a couple of years ago and send directly to candidates.
I got a RNC mailer a couple of months ago and instead of a check I sen them a billing invoice for a reimbursement of my past contributions for they way they have pushed RINO’s and bad policy decisions off on us. I have not gotten a check yet :)
Go away. Admin: Please pull this thread.
Seems that the ludicrousness of the ‘92 Perot alternative”to a lethargic GHWB White House gave us 8 years of sheer hell.
This is not a perfect world; and we best play the cards we are dealt, or go home from the game, dead broke, with hat-in-hand. Political Science 101.
Respectfully submitted, dk/coro — now in Battle Creek. *S*

TOWARD VICTORY !!!!
I think this thread is appropriate for the BLOGGER serction don’t you?

BTTT
I couldn’t be paid or tortured into voting for McQueeg.
I’m with you all the way.
Thank you my FRiend !!!
I find that sentence redundant. THAT was the whole point of the Centrist Coalition.
Senate Centrist Coalition
Excerpt:
According to Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD), "The Centrist Coalition is a group of moderate Democrats and Republicans seeking common ground and compromise on issues. ... The Centrist Coalition helps to bridge the two parties ... It brings together progressive national policy initiatives while promoting growth for businesses and increasing personal responsibility for Americans. Most South Dakotans are not left or right-wingers, but instead are right down the middle -- they simply want their government to work well and efficiently. The Centrist Coalition is a good step toward bringing the parties together."
(snip)
"The group also exerted influence in helping to push for enactment of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill, said Sandy Maisel, director of the Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement at Colby College in Waterville, Maine.
"Maisel said the members who frequently attend the coalition's meetings 'have the potential to have a great deal of influence' in the current Senate which is closely divided with 55 Republicans, 44 Democrats and Jim Jeffords, a Vermont Independent who usually votes with the Democrats.
"'All they need is a swing group of about six or seven, and then they can be very influential,' he said."
Excerpting the Republican Members:
* Republicans
* George Allen
* Bob Bennett
* Kit Bond
* John Chafee

hmmm, where have you heard of post 14 before....?
How is the Hunter Ranger Team doing these days?
Some of us are meeting with Minutemen, teaming with ICE.gov, working on congressional campaigns and such.
Looks familiar. We are screwed for the next 4 years. The best case scenario is that Mccain selects a conservative running mate then has to resign for health reasons.
I actually thought the same thing.. if McCain REALY wants to energize the base that is EXACTLY what needs to happen.. He needs to select a CONSERVATIVE VP running mate... hmmm Duncan Hunter maybe, but the ONLY way Duncan Hunter should accept it is if he RESIGNS at the same time.. and then Duncan Hunter can choose a VP running mate...
McCain’s base would never support him with a real conservative on the ticket. Just like the conservatives wouldn’t support a ticket with McCain on it.
If McCain remains the running mate, the democrats will take the White House.
Let’s just hope that ‘remains’ is the operative word here. A change in the playing field still can happen.
That scenario sounds like NJ politics :))
Our NJ politicians have actually switched candidates right before elections. Laws don’t apply to the elite in this state.
If only. McCain would not choose Hunter if he was the last man on earth.
I agree... I hope the RNC gets DEFUNDED until they can figure out that they cut off the hand that feeds them..
With GOD all things are possible :)
I think McCain can beat either pinhead the dems can offer up. That being said, the damage to the conservative movement in the country is already done.
True, but He gets to pick and choose when He intervenes.
The conservative base in America is beaten down... but we are not dead yet...
TOWARD VICTORY...
I would rather “die” fighting, than sit back and pull the lever for John McCain
It is a true Scylla and Charybdis situation. (ie., rock and hardplace)
Me too
bump
I’m going to see if I can equip FALCON with dynamite and jack hammers.
good idea- lets put all our efforts into electing a republican congress, but not one penny for McLame (or any other democrap running as a republican)
DO NOT STAY HOME THIS ELECTION- go out and vote for any conservative or republican for congress- just DON’T pull any lever for president
Is the Falcon in position to give endorsements yet for the congressional races?
Not yet. After our upcoming media/blogosphere push, we will take a look at the congressional races.
I’ve blogs to lend. Make sure you email me.
I was planning to come begging hat in hand. LOL
BTW, did you know that McCain was a POW? Anyway, later he went to visit with his captors. I wonder why he pushed for dropping finding our POW/MIAs.
Those of us who are paying attention get it.. the problem is the people who listen to MSM are clueless.. but we have time to get the word out without them ..
TOWARD VICTORY
Glad to see this thread getting some traction.. If you have a del.icio.us account please tag this thread for more exposure..

You don’t need to beg me :) Interesting visual though :))
;)
Why? He is telling the truth. There are other threads for you to read if you do not like this one.
I always read what you post (guess I’m on your ping list because it shows up in my new posts thing?) even if I don’t reply. I’ve learned much from FR. Thanks.
That is outrageous. One of many reasons not to vote for McCain.
agreed
While I would not be shocked if he chose a Democrat for VP, I doubt he will. Tom Ridge and Lindsay Graham have been mentioned. I expect it will be somebody who adores illegal aliens and CFR.
“Tom Ridge and Lindsay Graham have been mentioned.”
Yikes, two moderates, and Tom Ridge is also pro-abortion.
I also read where Senator Thune’s name was under consideration. He’s a good choice, which is why Laura Ingraham campaigned for him when he won the senate seat.
Duncan Hunter would be PERFECT, but I guess that’s setting my expectations too high.
We need more politicians such as Hunter and Tancredo.
bttt
You certainly won't be better off with the judges "turn em all loose" Obama unleashes on this country and the SCOTUS.
Which is PRECISELY why the congressional races are CRITICAL.... the POTUS can't put a judge in with the ADVISE and CONSENT of the Senate... ca-mon folks we need to quit preaching all this "vote for McCain because the other guy is WORSE" <---- garbage....
