The conservative response should be, we’re not playing the games anymore. Call the bluff. Let the moderates figure out their own problem, who they want.
One spontaneous thought I have: For conservative voters, at the polls, *Figuretively Speaking*, between the GOP conservatives & the GOP moderates, it’s time for the “Shoot-out at the OK-Corral!” Bring on Super Tuesday & let’s Vote.
Moderates have three / 4 candidates to choose from. Let them figure it out.
Conservatives vote conservative: Duncan Hunter.
“CODE BLUE” in the Duncan Hunter Campaign!
= a little goop, Everyone CLEAR, ... (as soon as someone shows me how to spell “KA-ZAP!” or whatever that sound is, I’ll post this as a thread. I may be offline, someone help yourself.)
Everyone is sweating about what’s going to happen in the general election. *NO ONE* is saying word one about conservative Dems and conservative Union members. So I don’t know how many of us there are, and conservatives don’t seem to be trying to find out.
OK, at least FRed said something nice about Dem voters, - a meager start.
Conservative talkers - when they are faced w/ dead air, they shuffle their papers and mumble something about `ragun democrats...’ = meager lip service.
Conservatives have problems, because in several ways, conservatives really aren’t trying.
What has got you down, is the liberal / moderate math, the election math.
Looking way forward to the general election, all GOP will vote GOP, and all Dems / union members will vote Dem. So whoever has the most, they will win.
But then, there are moderate GOP who might vote Dem in the general. Oh, that would be bad. Conservatives better compromise and yield in the primaries, to keep the GOP happy.
AND, usually, not a mention about conservative Dems & labor who will be voting conservative in the general election. When is someone going to figure THAT into the election voting equation? And what efforts are being made to coordinate and work with conservative Dems & Labor to bring change to the Dem Party, and to get more Dems to vote `right’?
Moderate / liberal GOP flaunt themselves. Conservative Dems / labor generally lay low. More FR / radio / tv chit-chat is not the answer.
Step by step: For FR, need some Dem / Union Labor pages. If the leftist disruptors try to set up shop to take advantage, I expect FR can handle that.
An inviting environment, to draw moderate / conservative Dems into FR. I was never a professional / or indoctrinated leftist, but I was mostly leftist in my thinking. If I can change, others can change. There are several leading conservatives who were once hard-core leftists.
Develop a basic conservative message that connects with Dems and union members. What is the best way for the country; and the ways the Dems and unions have to change. Are there any ways conservatives have to change? Or, what about bad business practices?
The entrenched Dem leaders may not change, but if Dem voters go moderate or occassionally show their conservative colors, suddenly / hopefully the election math will change. Maybe there will be some change in the Dem Party. I have good reason to believe / know that there are -some- mid / lower level Dem leaders who would like to see some moderate / conservative change in the Dem Party. I have no interest in seeing the prominent Dem leaders / candidates change, why don’t they just get out of the way. - I’m looking for new fresh talent. One execption: NM Gov. Bill Richardson, IF he would change.
Either some / many Dem voters voting moderate / conservative, or some change in the Dem Party...
If that begins to happen, hopefully GOP conservatives will be stronger, & GOP rino’s will be weakened. Either they (rino’s) will become more comfortable with the conservative message & get w/ the program, or they will find another party.
From the article:
Others, including the Republican establishment, have decreed for us who are candidate should be. American loving Republicans should reserve the right to make that choice.
And, (”DON’T LET THE PRESS PICK YOUR CANDIDATE!” Mrs. Duncan Hunter 1/5/08)
I Posted this on the FR CA Message Board, to answer some questions / criticisms:
Voting for someone who isn’t running / throwing away your vote...
Similar to #66 and my response:
Are you honestly saying voting for someone who IS NOT RUNNING is your best vote?
Mercy.
- - - - - - - - - -
** NOT RUNNING = mere formality. **
Duncan Hunter is still on the Calif Ballot in ALL counties, and a vote for Duncan *will* count. / per the voice on the phone in the CA Sec. of State office.
I’m a Dem, and if something `special’ doesn’t happen in the Dem party, I want the best conservative to vote for in Nov.
Conservatives: Use your vote, don’t waste your vote!
Someone else can try & analyze how the GOP got into the ‘liberal / moderate mess; but it’s working. All the conservative’s time, energy, (MONEY), - the whole conservative focus has been distracted to the GOP’s liberal /moderate food fight.
mercy to THAT!
FYI from Tennessee GOP Primary:
The situation remains very fluid as 10-15% of each major candidate’s supporters say there’s a good chance they could change their mind before voting.

- - - - AND:
Duncan Hunter...
With enough votes Duncan could be part of a brokered convention...
There has to be at least three candidates in a brokered convention...
I dont know what FRed is doing...
But Duncan would easily get most of the conservatives behind him
Duncan has all three of those THREE LEGS OF THE STOOL
He’s more than palatable...
No having to slander and abuse conservatives in order to make them submit and drink the poison ...
Duncan is just a good clean fun conservative in every area..
:)
President Duncan Hunter
Who for VP ???
Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn ?????
