Will we let some real conservatives make government responsible to the people.

Thanks to you we lost NY-23.

Or maybe not...latest news is that some "errors" in counting were discovered and the candidates are now separated by 3200 votes with 10,000 absentee ballots to count. My bet is the Hoffman ends up winning the seat.

Hey Newt, please go away, and take Juan with you.

Exactly. If terms limits had ever really been enacted, a lot of the foolishness the past 10-15 years would have never occured. The Chris Dodds, Barney Franks, Joe Bidens, John Conyers, Harry Reids, Chuck E Schumer, William Jeffersons and Charlie Rangels would have been long gone or better yet never entered national politics in the first place.

No money it in it.

Since Newt was the primary author of the Contract With America and, therefore, the architect of the astounding 1994 Congressional GOP victory, it's abundantly clear that:

1. He should at least be consulted on matters pertaining to the Republicans' electoral efforts in 2010.

2. You would be opposed to the GOP regaining control of the House because you are a subversive.

RINO Alert - These tools are just trying to get in your pocket book. They hold to principals like the wind. When principals are announced by leaders of principal, we may listen.

I am not opposed to conservatives and small-l libertarians gaining control of either house of Congress.

I am, however, deeply opposed to liberals and statists keeping control of either house of Congress.

It seems obvious that you don’t know what you’re talking about, regarding the Contract With America.

There’s a lot of truth in that. It’s my biggest gripe about the GOP.

You don’t have to preach what you’ll do tomorrow if elected. You can at lease speak out against this vile thing.

When addressing Democrats or people who support abortion on demand, I cover it like this.

“Folks, I realize we’re not going to agree in total about abortion. What we can agree on, is that in excess of one million little unborn humans being ripped arm, and leg, and head, and bits and pieces apart each year, is far more carnage than any of us is happy about. In our hearts, we want this number to go down.

We should find common ground here and find ways to reduce those numbers by leaps and bounds. We owe the unborn that much, even if we cannot agree to eliminate abortions outright.

I would ask you to please consider from time to time what takes place each time an abortion is committed, and see if you can’t find it in your heart to help us reduce those numbers.

This needn’t be a total outright ban, to reduce the number significantly. We need to think of abortion as wrong, then work together to reduce them. If we individually think of abortions as wrong, we will as a people will do as much as we can to reduce them in our own lives.

That to me seems to be an admirable goal we all can agree to.”

You know, you don’t make any calls, you don’t make any sales. The Republican party refuses to talk about fewer abortions, fiscal restraint, support for the military and why, the need for a robust capitalist system, and much much more. I mean, who hawks these things public these days? If we don’t who will?

Is the GOP leadership? Heck no, they’re too busy trying to get us to back Democrat policy. And no, I’m not kidding.

Looks like they are giving THEMSELVES a REFRESHER COURSE in FIRST Principles

Where are the two of them, or even ONE of them cheerleading for the possibility Hoffman may still win the NY seat? The silence by both with regard to news of new votes for Hoffman is deafening. Had it been Scuzzyfusa methinks comment would have already been made by either or both of them.

This is a time when encouragement for all political candidates running as conservatives is direly needed by those with the political power to give them much needed public support. Instead we get hot air and an attempt to shine the light on Gingrich and Steele themselves who bottom line really don't matter).

So what?

I’m not a LP member, and I have no intent of joining.

Furthermore, by your logic, all Republicans must be nasty because Larry Craig was tapping toes in an airport washroom.

Didn’t it say they were going to do away with the Dept. of Education?

My bad, after a quick review I was wrong.

“1. He should at least be consulted on matters pertaining to the Republicans’ electoral efforts in 2010.”

Why? Do we need more lessons on how to lose?
