I asked you over an hour ago what party can save us and so far no answer from you, just like I figured.

“Heck yes, we can rely on the GOP to bring conservatism back to America. Remember the last time the Republicans managed to wrest power from the Democrats? Murder of unborn children was banned, steps were taken to stop Islam encroaching on American culture, and the border with Mexico got reinforced against foreign invasion. Even now in opposition, the GOP is vigorously putting pressure on Obama to actually follow the Constitution and release his long form birth certificate.”

Well done. You had me for a second.

Yes, and I believe that the Republican nominee for President in 2012 could be a stealth Democrat.

Yes, Mitch McC is known for winking at Democrat programs. He knows what it takes to win in KY anyway.

Have some perspective?

Good Lord man, have you not noticed how far to the left our nation has drifted under Republican as well as Democrat leadership?

You sit there and type that no Republican is going to save us, and then add in that voting in Republicans is the only sane thing to do.

You see no conflict there at all do you.

Then you polish this road apple off with, “...have some perspective.” Seriously?

You gave this a lot of thought didn’t you. /s

Don’t hold their feet too close to the fire. Just make it close enough to ensure that their tootsies are warm and comfortable while the grapes are being peeled.

Yeah, that worked so well for us in 2008 ;-)

The answer will not be found in a political party, but in national repentance and return to the Creator God Who favored this country and its founding.

bump yer bump...

Elect Republicans, with as many conservatives as possible. Then make sure that none of them have one good nights sleep until their term is finished.

I have no confidence that republicans will use their new found power in congress to turn back the liberal hands of time.

Republicans have proven time and again that party, privilege and power are more important than the good of the nation.

We need to break this stranglehold that the two party system has on our land.

Our representative republic has morphed into an oligarchy.

A few wealthy government, corporate, globalist elites working day and night to circumvent our freedoms.

I wasn’t referring to the times when the Dems are in power, I was referring to when the GOP is in power.

Today, the Republican party has about 25 to 30% of the electorate, registered under it’s name. That means there are 70 to 75% registered under a different party name. None the less, the Republican party leadership and it’s minions think there’s nothing really all that wrong. A few tweaks here, a few tweaks there, everything’s perfect.

Ah..., no! People wanting a Conservative point of view to vote for have been cast adrift. They don’t bother registering as a Republican, because the party no more represents them than the Democrat party does.

Does the Democrat party represent them? No! Does the Republican party represent them? No! Let’s not kid ourselves by playing the degrees game. In 2008 we had one Fascist that would sell us out 95% of the time. And then we had a go-along-to-get-along beast, that would have sold us out 80% of the time.

Who are we kidding here, if not ourselves? We’re not going to win with people giving us 5% or 20% of what we need to see. To hell with the Republican party. It doesn’t want to represent us. Even the rat bastard the Republicans nominated to represent them in 2008, had no intention of representing us. He has slammed Conservatives as many times as Obama has.

I say, starve the beast. Course that ignores the fact you’ve got simply brilliant political figures who are trying to convince you they are on your side, raising as much money for the party as they can.

Folks, planning our futures on the Republican party, is like pinning your future on a wife that drinks to excess, sleeps with the neighbors, hits you with a ball-bat when you’re trying to sleep, and turns your children against you when you go off to earn a living to support her. “Look I know Bill, she’s pretty bad sometimes, but she’ll snap out of it eventually.” Ah, no the bitch won’t. And Republican party, you’re our bitch.

I want a restraining order...

Socialism is socialism whether you get there fast or a bit slower.

We all know the democrat party has been highjacked by the socialist progressives, but few will admit the republican party has been highjacked by the globalist.

Government of the lobbyist, by the lobbyist.

Socialist grow government to the point that all citizens rely on Uncle Sugar from cradle to grave.....right?

Globalist have succeeded in shipping millions of good paying manufacturing positions overseas to enrich themselves at the expense of our nation and her security.

No jobs or significantly lower paying position in the service sector shrinks the middle class, thus causing citizens to become more dependent on government....right?

The middle class, personal wealth, individual freedoms and our standard of living has been slowly evaporating under republican AND democrat leadership.

Socialism is socialism is socialism.

Vote Conservative all the time. Enough with the rino.

helps Americans understand that he shares nothing in common with them, and does not have the perspective of an American experience.

honestly, i really am starting to lean more towards anti-CHRIST personality, at least in its human arrogance, if not in fact by spiritual design...

THE textbook tells me that the 'father of lies' is damn good at what he does, and so much so, that the majority will not posess 'eyes to see or ears to hear' their slavery to it...further, I believe that 'it' gets an evil woody in doing so many things out in the open for 'Us' to see, knowing that we will be bar-b-qued, figuratively today, as well as physically once the numbers are generated...

politicians are the problem, not the solution, unless they are led to serve, not lord over us...even at that, i think the 'Plan' is and will continue to be to show us our human condition & to reinforce the demand of us to 'have no other "god" before Him'...whether money, power, american idol or anything else...

in short, we're screwed in yhe short term...

Obama enjoys “tweaking” us at every opportunity.

9/11 memorial, where he chucked the rose like a piece of garbage.

Refusing to put his hand over his heart

Many other examples.
