Only when they go after him with pitchforks, and clubs.
Oh ... yes, I forgot, he will save our military & appoint "conservative" (wink wink) judges.

TO: John McCain and the RNC,
Your latest solicitation for our money has a lot of “I want…” statements in it. Merely saying “I want…” does NOT impress me and won’t get the job done!
I would like to hear some “I WILL…” AND MEAN IT !
If you want our money, and our vote, then “WE WANT” some ACTION from the RNC and John McCain!
GET YOU HEAD OUT AND PAY ATTENTION…. WE ARE SERIOUS AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT VOTE!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that we WILL DRILL HERE, DRILL NOW, AND PAY LESS! The stupidity of sitting on trillions of cubic feet of our own natural gas and billions of barrels of our own oil while begging Arabs for more is beyond insanity! We want refineries, clean safe nuclear power, and STOP BURNING OUR FOOD FOR FUEL!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that the borders WILL be closed and NO illegals will get ANY amnesty or special consideration ahead of those waiting to enter legally!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that employers of illegals will be prosecuted. The illegals will go home on their own… and real wages for real Americans will rise!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that federal funding will be withdrawn from “sanctuary cities”…. immediately! I obey the federal laws… so should city officials… or defund and prosecute them.
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ONLY strict constructionist federal and Supreme Court judges will be nominated, AND that they will be supported, in hearings! Abiding by our Constitution has worked to get us here… it will work for our future!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that NO new taxes bills will be signed!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that there will be NO carbon tax schemes and NO so called “global warming” or “climate change” agreements catering to the fear mongers claiming “man-made” climate change. The world climate has ALWAYS changed and puny mankind cannot control it! The facts, evidence, and tens of thousands of scientists, say it is a pure hoax, a lie, and a grab for money and power and it MUST be stopped before it destroys our economy!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ALL earmarks will be vetoed!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that Social Security will be reformed and made solvent to end the illegal Ponzi scheme that will devastate the retirement of so many!
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to oppose all forms of abortion, oppose same sex marriage, oppose civil unions of same sex couples, and support marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to retain “under God” in our pledge of allegiance, our coins to retain “in God we trust”, and English declared the official single language of the United States.
We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that if United States security is threatened, before American military forces are committed, Congress will issue a “declaration of war”.
Newt is offering you a “Platform For America”! READ IT!
http://www.americansolutions.com/actioncenter/petitions/?Guid=bf4a5257-45e3-4a94-97fc-57e2d7ecb6f9
It is a comprehensive list of what the overwhelming majority of “Americans” have said we want! If you are smart, you will use it in a Republican Platform! It is a winner for you politicians and for we American citizens!
Also check out http://buchanan.org:80/blog/2008/06/pjb-bush’s-black-list/
When John McCain, and the RNC, make these strong commitments, we will again support Republicans with OUR money and our vote!
But, NOT UNTIL THEN… IT IS TOO IMPORTANT!!!
DO YOU HEAR US…. OR ARE YOU NOW DEAF TO REAL AMERICAN VALUES?
I think it is time to start the: CNC
The Conservative National Committee!
Contribuye unless you want Obie in office.
If the GOP continues to drift left, my vote will go to Bob Barr. McCain can still salvage conservatism, but I have little faith that he will.
You be “forced to work” and trying to stop a bell that’s already rung if Obie gets in office.
“Contribute unless you want Obie in office.”
Sorry. The big, bad bogeyman approach isn’t working anymore. The socialism-lite of Sen. McCain is only marginally different from the radical socialism of Sen. Obama. While they may differ in their rhetoric, the final destination is still the same.
MAY I COPY THIS AND SEND IT IN LIU OF A DONATION?
John McCain and the RNC doesn’t WANT the votes of the Conservatives or the Christian Right. They are depending on Hillary defectors from the Democrat Party to defeat Obama.
And they might do it, if enough conservatives sell out America and vote for him.
Sounds good to me, but I would give Col Riley credit.
If your statement is true, then it is time for the CNC.
Well I definitely agree about slamming the borders shut. And he’s got to do what the American people want and that is what they want. Problem is, I think McCain will listen to the American people, while Obie will think he knows better than the American people, that is the extreme danger.
Brer Riley writes like a child.
He needs to "GET HE HEAD OUT."
RNC is a dead horse. The CNC sounds good to me.
I plan to vote for the most conservative candidate. What everyone else does is their business, but I don’t vote for leftists or traitors to the Constitution.
Fixed it.
Col Riley is getting up there in age.
I agree with the majority of these demands.
However, I’d like to point out the difficulty from a political standpoint with implementing them.
In both the 2000 and 2004 elections the election was about as close as it could get. About 35% of the voters called themselves Republicans and about 35% Democrats.
Today about 42% of likely voters call themselves Democrats and about 32% Republicans. Democrats are jazzed and Republicans are demoralized. If McCain appeals largely to his base, he’s going to be clobbered. His base is just much smaller than Bush’s was.
McCain must appeal to the squishy middle if he is to win. Possibly these demands would accomplish that, but I’m not so sure.
Just because we believe firmly that we are in the right doesn’t necessarily mean most voters agree with us. Unfortunately, the number of votes is all that counts.
I read a line in an article yesterday that went something like this:
“Republicans for years have tried to convince
Conseravtives to vote for the lesser of two evils...”
“Newt is offering you a “Platform For America”! READ IT!”
Col Riley better read it too. Fruity Newt is on the gorebal warming bandwagon with the rest of the eco-twits!
I liked this, too. Not that the GOP/RNC will do anything with it, but it was an interesting read. Thanks.
What was that line...oh, yeah — want in one hand and **** in the other, see which one fills up faster.
Conservative “wants” are going to get short shrift because our “betters” think the way to success is to out Rat the Rats on borders, global warming, the budget, the war — you name it.
That is a true story, the Democrats have completely lost their way and did so years ago when they realized no one but goofballs listened to them and serious people didn’t respect them. That global warming is a complete crock and only a mentally deranged person would still ascribe to it or have the gall to try to convince anybody else to spend even one penny on it.
Yesterday, I sent a letter to the RNC saying that the only thing I’ll contribute to McCain is my vote, unless and until he gets off global warming, amnesty, and stops bashing corporate interests and Pres. Bush. I’ll contribute to my local candidates, but not to him.
"Conservative" would be to conserve our own, letting others blow through their oil reserves first, so we're the last ones with any easy-to-extract remaining.
So true.
I am old enough to remember some of it!
If they won’t listen to us during an election they NEVER WILL!
I hate it when I send money and then the politician goes off and does something left like. That just kills me. McCain is ignoring Conservatives for the most part (he did promise to put in justices like Alito and Roberts), but I agree with this premise of Col. Riley statements. We need conviction. We have heard promises during election year before and nowadays you need to be convicted to convince a lot of people.
And I want it to be known that I badword don't want a commie like Hussein in our White House. I am convicted to that. Because I am convicted to that, I don't want taken for granted of it. I am hearing pundits say that McCain should move to the left to pick up those Hillary voters. I am to the point that if we move one step closer to the left, I am going to badword walk away. I am not going to compromise my belief, principles, morals, or integrity anymore. Not towards the left, they never move towards me. Sometimes I think let them have it and mess it up even worse and we wil ltake it over in 2012. But then I think about the Soldier and Marine with their boots on the ground. If I were them, would I want McCain or Hussein? That will be what will get me to vote. But to get money from me, I need a reason to believe in why I am sending money. And to get me to believe in this party again, it needs to stop acting lick RINOs.
And McCain, as we now, is a spoiled brat (sorry, "maverick") who doesn't abide little people telling him what to do....
We can all “Wish” for Juan McLame to become a conservative.
But if you wish in one hand and crap in the other, at the end of the day, all you have is a hand full of crap.
Only when they go after him with pitchforks, and clubs.
Oh ... yes, I forgot, he will save our military & appoint "conservative" (wink wink) judges.

I am actually serious about the CNC and mentioned it the other day on another thread.
My fear is that alot of the good guys/gals(conservatives) are going to be hurt by the lack of money being raised by the RNC. They would probably not give the money to conservatives anyway because they look poised to rid the party of conservatism.
We should start a list/voting guide of conservatives up for re-election or running for office in this country and start sending our money straight to their campaigns, by-passing the RNC completely.
It’s just a thought.
Obie, McObie, what’s the difference.
Very well done and undoubtedly well received here on Free Rep. But the arrogance of McCain and his contempt/disdain for conservatives means that he sincerely believes that we will be forced, FORCED to donate to, work and vote for McCain lest we allow the possibility of a Marxist in the White House. He is depending upon this. For he clearly and quite accurately sees us as far more concerned about the future of our nation than he or his campaign... something I guarantee he perceives as a weakness IN US which he fully intends to exploit. And such breathtaking cynicism on the part of someone who is purportedly more concerned about the well-being of the US and its citizens than his own power and glory will neatly place another nail in the McCain campaign coffin. Settling for much, much less and hoping things will somehow work out better than we expect later on has become too disappointing. We have gotten the republican party we have voted for and consequently, the party we deserve.
In any case, I think that if we just made it legal to drill, we would have more power to bargain with OPEC. We tell them that we are going to flood the market and make it 3 cents a gallon and I have a feeling they will find a way to pump more oil.
Col Riley better read it too. Fruity Newt is on the gorebal warming bandwagon with the rest of the eco-twits!
Yeah, this is where Col. Riley lost me. But, as we have all been told repeatedly by the McKoolaid crowd, "The perfect is the enemy of the good." So, it was a pretty good article.
I was so disappointed to see Mr. Newt on that couch with Pelosi. Conservatives have truly been thrown under the bus. Well, no matter, I'm putting monies I would have sent to the GOP/RNC to other, better uses.
For years I have had discussions at work and was able to get many to vote Republican. For these people the last straw was amnesty. They possess an emotional hatred for the pubbies that cannot even consider a reasoned argument. Everything they are against, is represented by BHO yet they support him anyway, b/c they don't trust the pubbies at all. And McCain was one of the leading causes of this problem. I have been a pubbie since 1964 and I am seriously considering voting for Bob Barr. Down ballot I will go pubbie. In the future I am considering running for office as a Libertarian. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer nor do I have any knowledge about running a “campaign” however, anyone electing me can rest assured that I cannot be bought and I will work to defend and expand their liberty and freedom.
Very profound statements that I will ponder.
Thank you for the post.
Examine the wording very carefully.
I wish more Congresscritters had the testicular strength to fight the globul warming like Rep. Rohrabacher did the other day: It’s a great read and an awesome slap down on the floor of the House.
I have not always agreed with Rep. Rohrabacher...but he is spot on with this and deserves some big kudos!!
How can voters agree with us if they don't know what we stand for?!? Right now the Dems are the party that stands for something, so voters choose them rather than a party that stands for nothing, as is the current Republican party.
And what does McCain stand for?!? Standing for nothing because you're scared people won't like who you are is a great way to be marginalized and rejected. And that's what is happening to the GOP.
Agreed. And true conservatism doesn't do well, even in the Republican primary (the only way to come close is by throwing in some gratuitous red-meat nanny-statism and flag-waving...true small-government conservatism gets mocked).
But I urge everyone to go back and listen to some of President Reagan's speeches...even brief snippets will show how compelling a small-government message can be, if presented in the appropriate way and without sniping from the Faux Conservatives. Many young people have never heard the tenets of conservatism expressed.
I hear you there. The left never comes right. The right always move left. That is why I don't like to see these people on the couch together. There are more RINOs then there are DINOs.
I believe in a "ratchet" model...it creeps to the left, but is not able to go back to the right. Eventually, after too far to the left, there's a correction...we can hope.
“Today about 42% of likely voters call themselves Democrats and about 32% Republicans.”
I’d be careful with any stats coming from the MSM after ‘Operation Chaos’.
LOL
lol
Not true. It will take years to start seeing oil flow if we start now. Add to that estimates I've seen that show 2 trillion barrels of untouched oil....... enough to last us over 100 years! Conserving that much oil is foolish.
