Quite a few? Wow! That's encouraging.
They are still enough of a minority in the Majority party that they don't get exactly what they want all of the time, but they have been influencing the others quite a bit!!
Republicans were Conservatives until they got power. That's because they needed us to get power. Now, they got what they want and they are Politicians. The ruling class. They got the House, they got the Senate, they got the White House. What are they waiting for? Nothing. They are doing what they want to do right now. Serving themselves rather than America. Sure, there are great ones among them. But, as a party, they do not represent a Conservative agenda.
If we don't vote Republican in Nov., or don't vote at all...we will be letting them down..
I don't think so. I think the true Conservatives in the party are just as disgusted with their colleagues as the Conservatives on this site.
A lot of people tout Tancredo on this site lately because of the immigration problem...do you think letting the DEMS get the majority in the House would be HELPING him or supporting his work???
Lately? Tancredo has been the congressional hero of Conservatives for a while now.
I have no intention of "letting the DEMS get the majority in the House". If that happens, that's the fault of the Republican Party and their abandonment of Conservative principles.
P.S. Don't you think you should save your punctuation marks??? You might need them later!!!
Nah, I mailed off for extra punctuation marks because there are so many threads with freepers ready to give up rather than fight, and seem to always see the glass as half empty instead of half-full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHD received information yesterday morning (Tuesday) that most field Border Patrol agents were being called in to increase security at the port of entry stations. CHD members held an emergency meeting and have decided to fill in for the government and help our friends, neighbors and countrymen, again. Yesterday, I spoke with a Mexican news agency and issued a warning that all illegal entrants attempting to breach our border during a time of war in which National Security is at a critical level would be ignorant and unwise. I stated that all illegal entries would be treated as enemies of the state and will be detained and held in contempt of invading the United States of America.
I have sent this message to Governor Napolitano and to Border Patrol's Tucson sector headquarters and alerted supervisors that once we enter war with Iraq, CHD will deter, detain and apprehend anyone who attempts to flee a CHD citizen volunteer. All illegal invaders will be detained until Border Patrol agents arrive to transport them back across the border. We will humanely supply them with water, food, blankets and medical attention to the best of our abilities.
Since our government officials have basically notified the world that the border fence is not being patrolled, it is now more important than ever for citizens to rise to the occasion and fill a void in National security.
CHD volunteers will now patrol the border with over 100 fully armed Citizens who consider themselves members of the unorganized state militia; we have the legal right and moral obligation as per our Arizona State Constitution and Federal Constitution and our respect for American citizens. Our intent is to send a strong message to the world that we will stand defiant to invaders and protect the borders of our country. A message to the world: Do not attempt to cross the border illegally; you will be considered an enemy of the state; if aggressors attempt to forcefully enter our country they will be repelled with force if necessary!
