Either we must reclaim the Republican Party as the party of small government or we must abandon it...

Both parties seem to be corporatist, global, and highly secretive.

We are presented with emotional, highly emotionally charged issues about which talking heads rant, (I can't say debate) endlessly on tv and radion, in the news editorials, and yet not much is reported. What about the CANAMEX superhighway that will effectively erase our national borders? What about Delphi fililng bankruptcy in the US but keeping its out-of-US plants out of bankruptcy and 65,000 workers paid peanuts employed?

(Yes, I know the UAW is greedy, blah blah blah, but how many of you want to work for minimum wage, which btw, is too high for the world, or less which is the way wage pressures are going.)

There are so many issues that the elites like to dub either "Nationalist," conservative or liberal.

I'd like to see some honest assessment. I'm really tired of the blather and luke warm sputum these politicians and media types are presenting.

The People don't want small-government conservatives. Let's face facts. In 2004 the elected a liberal Democrat majority to the United States Senate and relegated conservatives to a small minority within the minority party. These liberals and RINOs are big spenders who insist on constraining American freedoms while improving the lives of the terrorists.

Conservatives need a grassroots movement to convince Americans--including and especially The New York Times--to believe in them and in their philosophy WITHOUT offending the liberal sensibilities of such potentates as Ronnie Earle, who as Travis County prosecutor determines control of the House of Representatives. If we cannot convince the American people to see government as we see government, then we cannot win because we have no majority and no mandate. We need to take back the Republican Party.

The present political situation forces the President into a position of extreme weakness, shielding himself from the culture of corruption within his own party. Whatever political capital he yet can muster, he must reserve to battle his forthcoming impeachment, which looks increasingly likely to happen and to succeed. He cannot expend precious political capital on doomed Supreme Court nominees, Harriet Miers likely now among them.

The Senate demands a liberal female unknown to the President, and the Senate will get her.

Seems to be no middle ground with the PTB controlling the Republican party of late. The Regan democrats were useful at one time, now they are a burden splitting us. The repubs can no longer have the support of both, time to choose between big government or traditional small/limited conservatism.

This sucks, but it is true. The purple stained lip types amongst us will slowly come around, hopefully.

"Perhaps, a generation from now, Americans will look at President Bush with gratitude, not for what he accomplished, but for what his failure inspired."

I look at President Bush with gratitude now and I will from now on also. He has fought the Beltway Society in D. C. since he went into office. He is not failing, alot of people are not listening. Poll numbers don't mean much to him because he is trying to get people to wake up. People need to start understanding that GOD gave us our RIGHTS and FREEDOMS and the FOUNDING FATHERS put them in writing. I love America and what She has always stood for. People need to start seeing that waiting for your monthly government handout check is not what America is and start working and contributing to America's well being. Then the people that are not working that really can't can be helped, some by their own families and some by government help. More people need to start Defending and Helping America be the country She is.
