I heard Mitch McConnell on with Hugh Hewitt on Friday.
Hugh has this pledge drive going...to have people say they won't give money to the NRCC or the RNC so that the money could be used for candidates that sign on to the iraq resolution.
When asked about that pledge drive, McConnell said it saddened him that Hugh was doing that...because they will back ALL Republican incumbents in their next election anyway.
When Hugh asked why....McConnell said something interesting.
He said that even though all of the GOP Senators are Republicans...their constituents in different areas of the country have different ideas and needs from their GOP Senators.
What this tells me is that McCain the the GOP leaders probably aren't as concerned with the hardcore base of the Republican party as much as they are in the more moderate middle of the road constituents that MIGHT either stay home..or vote independent or, heaven forbid, vote for a Dem....if the hard core right is TOO overly reflected in the candidate.
re: McConnell/Hewitt
Not only that... Did you see that Mc just did not get what the resolution would do to the troops? I was flabbergasted.
WOW! THANKS! GREAT INFO!
well-- if this is the case then we are ALL on the plantation....
The Dems have a plantation, and the Republicans have a plantation...
I love how folks consider people like me a "100%'er"....
too funny..to me it seems the opposite..to me- I see the Republican no matter what as the 100%er...no strength to stand for right vs wrong...but just right Dem vs Republican..and is that mentality that keeps this country marching so far to the left...
what is "100%'er" about protecting the sovereignty of this nation? I want the borders protected, and life protected. AT THE BARE MINIMUM! ANY candidate in Washinton, DC who cannot agree to THAT BARE minimum is just flat our scary....
strangely enough..80% of the American people want our borders protected. that is both Dem and Republican..so no matter WHAT party is in control, how on earth does this not get done? LOBBYISTS! The LaRaza nutball Lobbyists for illegal rights, and the BIG CORPORATIONS that want cheap labor...not even just cheap UN-skilled labor- but cheap SKILLED labor too!...
it's just plain out of control in DC and I am just plum sick of it....
/rant off...
posted here too.....
You mean like it was in Ronald Reagan? Conservative ideals sell, even to the middle, if they are sold effectively. Cowardly bet hedging and parrotting of the Marxist Media is what loses elections for Republicans.
