exactly what I was thinking. This "emminent domain" issue could be the best thing for our party right now.
We'll gain big in 2006, the true conservatives will be the loudest voices against it, any American with property and a brain will hear us, and the RINOs will (hopefully!) fade into the background (or be pushed more conservative).
Probably alot of that is wishful thinking, but then again, we're the party of hope, not doom and gloom! =P
" This "emminent domain" issue could be the best thing for our party right now. "
If you follow the lead of the top dog of the republican party don't expect too much. It was GWB that lobbied the Texas legislators to have eminent domain laws changed in Texas, allowing private individuals and companies to essentially take private property. This move made it possible for the "Texas Rangers" to steal property in Arlington Texas for a new stadium and stick the bill to taxpayers. GWB made about $15mm on the deal.
We can only gain if we do trumpet it. But so far, the RNC has been conspicuously silent about this; there's nothing on their website the last time that I checked, and the response that I received from them was "thanks for your interest and we will let the management know of your concerns" -- not exactly heart-warming stuff.
