Hey jveritas you are really on a mission on this!
But I take you point and wake up calls are needed. I will admit that I have to pour cold water over myself when I've been immersed in the lukewarm MSM.
So yes, I appreciate your call, we've gotta stay focused and informed to persevere.
kind regards indeed.

"'this "some' were stupid enough to stay home in the last elections and caused the Republicans to lose Congress." Like little babies who if they don't get 110% of what they ask for, they ruin everything for everyone. Heck, if I don't like what my Republican Congressman or Senators are doing, I write them a tell them! That's a lot better than having a liberal Democrat Congressman or Senator. I am not too happy with my Senator John Cornyn and his new bill to open the flood gates to H-1B visas, but I am not going to send him out on his butt. I hammer him on his issues that I do not like. I'd rather hammer a Republican than a moonbat liberal Democrat.
Good post jveritas!

Thanks Tom, if we go another election cycle and the knee jerk conservatives grow in numbers, we are going to lose in 2008.

So yes, the liberal treasonous media has been very triumphant in the last 2 years, they mastered the tactics of dividing conservatives among themselves and rallying some against President Bush and the Republican party, this "some" were stupid enough to stay home in the last elections and caused the Republicans to lose Congress.
The MSM was just picking at a sore that the GOP inflicted on itself. If they hadn't become bloated, big-government, pro-entitlement, corrupt, pro-illegal immigration Democrat-lites, the media would have had no sore to pick at. Throw in a little Foley scandal to make them look like class-A hypocrites and phonies and you've got the makings of an electoral loss. Frankly, we're lucky it wasn't a lot worse.
Lesson: Don't blame the base for the party leaderships' shortcomings. If you don't give people a reason to vote FOR you, but have nothing to offer but "fear itself" that the Democrats will be worse, you're going to lose.
The sooner the bigs at the top of the Stupid Party realize this, the better off we'll all be.

I am shocked by conservatives who believe instantly everything the liberal media is telling them. Look at the wiretape on terrorist story that emerged in the last 48 hours. The liberal media portrayed that the President capitulated on this program when in reality the program is now more effective than the one before it since the previous program was already compromised when leaked by the New York Times. But here you go from Rush Limbaugh ( Iam really shocked by his reaction) to many other conservatives throwing an "instant fit" over it without when the news was first reported.

Here you go. You call the Republican Party the stupid party when in reality they have won 5 of the last 7 presidential elections and won congress for 12 years since 1994.

Fools are people who vote against their principles out of fear. As for Foley, someone in the GOP leadership should have known that having a homosexual in your Congressional delegation--let alone one who covertly cruises for chickens--is a ticking time-bomb considering the make-up of the Republican base.
Stupid is as stupid does.

Good post. For those who still think that the media is dying...I say that there are still WAY TOO MANY Republicans getting their daily shot in the arm of news from the major news media and they either haven't figured it out...you get lulled to sleep...or they think they are too savvy to be fooled and have already drank the "koolaid".

They won running as conservatives. When they are perceived to have abandoned conservatism, they'll lose. People are not going to abandon their principles for fear that the other might be worse. Don't you get that?
If you want the GOP to be strong again, start calling for them to act like conservatives.

Winning elections is only a beginning. Once elected they must govern. At that they have failed miserably. Republicans were a minority so long that once they got the power they didn't know how to use it effectively. Now they are back into their comfort zone as a minority party.

The liberal media succeeded through lies and distortions and incredible gullibility by many conservatives to divide the conservative base, and drew a wedge between many of them and the President as well between them and the Republican Party. You're vanity is wrong. Most conservatives do not get their information from the liberal, fifth-column MSM.
What is driving the wedge in the conservative base are the conservatives who adopt and support positions which are anathema to conservatives. For example, when some conservatives start supporting a north east liberal like Rudy Giuliani, the rest of the conservatives try to hold their ground and refuse to support the liberal. This causes a division. Other examples include amnesty for criminal invaders (aka. illegal aliens), expanding Medicare coverage, increasing government spending, intrusions into privacy, failure to protect our borders, etc. The division is caused not by the conservatives who stick to their principles and condemn liberal policies, legislation, and ideas but by the "conservatives" who betray core conservative principles in support of a different agenda but who still insist they're conservatives.

If you want the votes of the conservatives that you allege "stayed home" this last election, you're not ever going to get them by 1.)calling them stupid and 2.)insisting that they hold their gag reflex and come out to support more and more anti-conservative candidates, policies and legislation.
If you want to win those conservatives back you have to give them what they want. When they see something that they want to support or someone that they want to vote for, then they'll give that support and cast their vote appropriately. All the name calling, bullying, ranting, raving, marginalizing, belittling isn't going to gain a single vote from the core conservatives.

And then they screwed things up so much that the voters tossed them out of power. They've got less than 2 years to fix things or they'll lose the White House too.

sheesh another 'it's the voters' fault' vanity.
Politicians work for us, they are nothing more than employees. What do you do if you have a lousy employee? You fire them. It is as simple as that.
