I intend to start by writing to all my my Democrat representatives and demanding answers as to what they plan to do about, among other things: the high price of gasoline; the staggering (and skyrocketing) costs of illegal immigration; the increase in identity theft; voter fraud; waste, fraud and abuse in government bureaucracies; and the threat of global terrorism.
Immaterial. They knew that they were picking up a rattlesnake. They wanted to be lied to. See my tagline.
If more of us took part in the primaries, a RINO would only be known as the misspelling of an animal from Africa.
"It isn't too late. Seize the day."
Statement of the DAY! IMHO.
Damn people, some folks left their spines at home and quivered their way to the polling box, and it seems a bunch of paintywaists around here would join them?
I'm bummed about this, but I'm eager to get the ship upright again. Cripes, how pathetic...
na - one should be angry, let us vent.
A freak show for sure, and your list didn't even include Barney Franks. He is a truly despicable embarrassment - apart even from keeping a male prostitute he is an insufferably, insanely loud mouthed liberal.
As bad as it's been yesterday and today (Rumsfeld! Waaah!), everyone should remember it's not the end of the world, or the republic. As Ann Coulter said, Republicans can't win everything all the time. Sometimes you have to take some hits, and sometimes taking some hits is for the best. You know the cost of Ronald Reagan? Jimmy Carter.
We've taken a beating, we'll all acknowledge. The thing that matters now is what we - everyone - does next. That means waiting and seeing, trying, hoping and praying.
"Comprehensive Immigration Reform"
The deeper I get into the Demographics of the Vote, it becomes clear that we lost the votes of Hispanics, and the Biggest losers of this election ARE BLACKS...
It is now proven that Dems do not have to pander to blacks to win, Hispanics are the Future.
They will cast the Blacks upon the ash-heap of Abortion-Induced Genocide after the 2008 Election, when they won't need them anymore.
I am not worried about that at all. We have not been doing very well with regards to the WOT. Even if we won in Iraq we are still losing ground around the world. Now we will have to pull out of Iraq this will signal that we are weak to the terrorist they will hit is at home after we have left.
The war on terror has just became a whole lot worse then before. I expect millions of Americans to die before we go back.
Well remember what happened with Clinton in his first two years, the voters decided to bite back at the rattlesnake dems.
Well, we did our part here in Battle Creek zotting a RINO for true Conservative - let's hope Wahlberg survives the Rats and the RINOs in DC.
We cant follow the democrat tactics asking "why did they win?" rather than "why did we lose?"
They ran more conservative candidates
And these "conservatives" are beholden to nancy pelosi. They will vote the pelosi line and hopefully be gone in two years.
Yes, but we can answer why ours didn't win...by trying to be moderates. By being too cautious. By not standing up to political correctness. By acting like they weren't a majority.
Two years is too long.
Recommended course of action:
1. BLOAT
2. If you are in or downwind of a major urban area, move as soon as possible to a safer location
3. Dig in with a defensible perimeter
4. Be ready for TSTHTF
5. Once TSTHTF, aim small, miss small
Hard to do when the party establishment throws its support and resources behind RINOs.
"We need to get rid of liberal Republicans in primaries, then take on the 'rats."
AMEN! I voted for a true conservative in the Ohio GOP primary, and DeWine still got elected. Now, we have Brown as our senator, and he is a communist. It is going to be a LONG six years, folks.
My piddle FWIW..
IMO, the Reagan conservative movement officially died when Newt Gingrich was ousted during the Clinton impeachment. Even in this election cycle, Newt offered a visionary 10 point plan for the Republicans to run on and the leadership did nothing. After years of spending like drunken sailors, all the former majority leadership offered was "we suck less than Nancy Pelosi."
What was left after Gingrich? We called them RINO's, but they were Democrats that ran as Republicans. What will be interesting now is that a significant number of the newly elected (D) House members ran on positions that are to the right of the current/former Republican majority. Are they DINO's? Or, did they lie to get elected? If they are socialists disguised as moderate dems, i.e. they lied, they will be in the street in 2 years with the RINO bums.
Our most urgent issue - who is the next great conservative leader? The media is already annointing McCain and that doesn't work for any/many real conservatives. Mike Pence? Mitt Romney? I don't know at the moment.
