Why 2010 should be the year of the conservative, and to dump the RINOS

And when the wheel goes ‘round again, we’ll get another lib in office, with National Health Care, control of guaranteed student loans, energy policy...blah, blah, blah....Time to stop worrying about the slippery slope and start worrying about the jagged rocks at the bottom.

[sickoflibs]

This is the Republican BOOM year, if we can't choose conservatives like DeVore this year then there will never be a right time.

Here in Utah, so long Bennett. I was at a town meeting with Orrin Hatch and I could see the fear in his eyes, it’s obvious he’s not sleeping well. We’re going to run Mr. Friend-of-Kennedy/Mr. Dream Act, too.

Excellent points SoL, and the most important thing that any conservative can do is to remember who our true friends are, i.e., real conservatives are supporting Chuck DeVore in California, and J.D. Hayworth in Arizona. Liberals, progressives, political opportunists and manipulators are supporting the statist-RINO candidates like Carly Fiorina and John McCain, just to name two of the most egregious and offensive individuals running under the banner of the GOP.

Now there may be situations in some states where there is no true conservative candidate on the ballot and the only choice is between a moderate-to-liberal Republican and a member of the 'Rat Party, in which case the only thing one can do is to hold their nose and vote against the 'Rat.

Anyone however, who is supporting Fiorina and McCain when there ARE viable conservative candidates running in the race, is no friend of conservatives, and any claim to BE a conservative becomes suspect.

Former Attorney General John Mitchell's words are worth remembering today:

"Watch what we do, not what we say"

A pretty face, a dazzling smile, and a few well spoken conservative slogans mean nothing. Actions speak louder than words and we need to remind ourselves of that.

THIS IS THE SAME REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT IS HAVING A CONVENTION IN TAMPA INSTEAD OF ARIZONA. I’M EXTREMLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. THE REPUBLICANS TALK A GOOD GAME WHEN THEY ARE IN THE MINORITY (ACTUALLY THEY ARE DOING LESS THIS TIME ROUND COMPARED TO PRE 1994 ELECTION) AND ON THE CAMPAIGN. HOWEVER, THIS VOTE OF HAVING A CONVENTION IN AUGUST IN TAMPA JUST TELLS YOU WHERE THEY STAND ON THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE. CONSERVATIVES IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE LIKE THE AMOUNT OF CONSERVATIVES IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY 30 YEARS AGO.

Keep in mind I’m still a solid conservative, and will vote for conservatives that have the best shot. May God save our Republic.

Go Chuck!

The Murky News came out recommending Meg and Tom in the
Gub and Senate Gop primary... but what would you expect from libs?

[DoughtyOne]

The real reason why this is a boom year, is because Obama is trashing this nation worse than Jimmy Carter did. If we can’t contrast ourselves against this backdrop favorably, we couldn’t contrast ourselves against any backdrop favorably.

So when the RINO kids come out to play in this environment, you’ve got to ask yourself, is this all we’ve got? Do we as Republicans have anything to sell other than half-baked leftism?

I’m not playing with the RINO kids this year. The grownups are in charge, and if you can’t play by nice considerate sound Conservative policy rules, then go play in your own yard and leave the good kids to clean up this mess.

My friends, we have played by RINO rules for twenty two years. Ronald Reagan left us a pretty sound nation, and look what we’ve done with it. And don’t give any crap about using the ‘we’ word here. As Republicans, we contributed to this mess.

I’m not playing by RINO rules any longer. The Republican party can get it’s act together, or I an my friends will join another effort and slowly replace the Republican party.

We’re at war with the left in our nation. It’s time we acted like it.

Imagine what the GOP could accomplish with leadership from the RNC.

[VRWC For Truth]

If Juan McDEMOCRAT D-AZ is re-elected, the GOP is toast. He hates Conservatives.

Agreed. However, never, ever, underestimate the tenacity of Old Guard Republicans in their unending quest to undermine conservatives...

It seems like most sub-wings of the GOP are into snatching defeat from the hands of victory.

Take immigration. The anti-illegals frame the issue in such a way that they make it unacceptable for many hardcore conservatives and libertarians. Then when a candidate is pro-life, pro-2A, cut taxes, cut spending, cut borrowing, cut regulations but also against a big government solution to immigration and for a free market solution, they label that conservative a RINO and seek to destroy him.

Could be.

[American Constitutionalist]

RINOS belong back in the wild....

[spintreebob]

Here in IL GOPs Kirk is going to achieve tax cuts by spending more money on a long list of public works programs and subsidies to businesses rejected by the law of supply and demand.

His contradictions in the same 30 second sound bite make him look ignorant more than hypocritical.

Then there are the anti-illegal voices who are out to destroy every conservative who doesn’t agree with them 100% and make anti-illegal the focus of every campaign.

[Impy]

Bump!

[icwhatudo]

Love to see the donkey replaced with a rino...

[sickoflibs]

Well at least one Republican (Paul) will vote against the next Republican president calling for a bailout. Next fire McConnell.

I am kind of hoping Spector pulls it off as he is a democrat now, so Toomey can take him out in November.....Obama and unions went out for Spector but liberal groups went for Sestak.

Not sure what to expect with Murtha’s seat.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I ain’t got no clue on those two.

[sickoflibs]

Spector just lost to Sestak so it's SesTak vs Toomey in November. MSNBC will be celebrating Obama’s (Spector's) loss and call it a liberal uprising. I will miss that old prostitute Spector.
