Newt will come to the rescue
http://www.newt.org
"Reagan was able to bring this group under the Republican tent with his heavy emphasis on Personal Responsibility, and Reagan's foundational ties to the original Barry Goldwater campaign of 1964 that pushed so many Libertarians under the Republican tent. This group has grown increasingly disenchanted with the Republican Party in the post-Reagan era because they feel they have been ignored at the expense of the Social/Christian Conservatives."
Brilliant and absolutely correct. Especially that last sentence.
the fun hasn't even started yet.
Well, Newt is a HUGE part of my proposed solution, but I'll expand upon that later. Needless to say, I agree with you that he is the guy we should turn to most.
We donate mccain to the democrats for starters.
OK, so how do we SOLVE that problem? What can we do to please BOTH Libertarian Conservatives AND Social Conservatives?
Where do we go from here?
Well...I know what I did.
I looked under the News/Events Topic.
I clicked on a post.
I realized, yes...this IS yet another vanity.
I removed the shocked look upon my face.
I thought about letting it pass...just for a moment...but the vanity of it all got the best of me...I could not resist.
I responded.
I laughed.
I cried...tears of joy mind you.
The voices of "All is Vanity!!! scream inside my head...they torture me...yet I must go on.
Where do I go from here? I really don't know.
And his little dog too (Graham)
I think Newt would be great too. But the fact is the MSM would crucify him.
His marriages would be examined in detail. All the old stuff about how he "stopped" the government, etc, etc...
We need somebody the MSM can't do that kind of harm to.
The future of the conservative movement is going to lie with some new face...maybe Pence, maybe somebody who will emerge in the next two years.
The one thing I'm sure of...the media wants McCain to be the nominee in the worst way...I don't trust that guy.
The Republican/conservative "fat cats" must buy or build a broadcast network where real news and accurate stories can be presented day after day and night after night. EXAMPLES:
anti-ILLEGAL immigration vs anti-imigration
reduced tax RATES vs reduced taxes
Laffer curve
install internet-cams at Guantanimo so citizens can watch the treatment of those bastards that want to KILL US!
Show the effects of the Welfare state on the minority (legal) community
Keep that crook Jefferson in the news
revisit Chappaquidick and Ted's efforts to undermine the U.S. gov't w/the Soviets
explore Harry Reid's escapades
Explain Nancy D'Alessandro Pelosi's fortune
Keep after Skerry and his TREASON...
I submit that without daily truth and accurate (Non-DNC scripted) news presented by a credible news-man we have NO HOPE until the frigging democrat/Socialists drive us to destruction
"What can we do to please BOTH Libertarian Conservatives AND Social Conservatives?"
Continue working toward defunding abortion and devolving it to the states. Beyond that, there be dragons.
For one thing it wasn't actually devastating. Congress is still split about 50-50. The R majority in both Houses wasn't particularly impressive, and the D majority in both Houses won't be either.
In the immortal words of Cary Elwes in the movie "Princess Bride"...
"You have a truly dizzying intellect"
I was just playing.
Seriesly...I couldn't resist. :)
Kjo,
The mainstream media will TAINT any candidate we use as our standard bearer...that's just part of their dishonest, amoral behavior. If they can dirty up a man like Rick Santorum, they can play that game with anyone...so we might as well use the great talents that Gingrich possesses.
I'm sorry if I was rude, I'm just trying to be very serious here because I am VERY worried about the future of this nation after Tuesday.
I think what we might do now is band together and see if we can exert enough pressure to derail ANY immigration legislation. That's a pretty tall order, and I know we aren't going to get anything positive done, i.e., fencing, but maybe, just maybe we can stop the amnesty and gridlock the whole thing.
You are one million percent right.
That sounds like a good short term plan.
