Check out Anna Little in NJ-6 or Scott Sipprelle in NJ-12.

Both are running as full-bore, unapologetic Conservatives. And this is in New Freepin’ Jersey!


I believe you. And there are Republicans who are running as unapologetic, unrepentant and unreconstructed Conservatives — here and there. MOST, however, are on “cruise control,” trying to ride the wave of aniti-Obama sentiment and anti-democrat anger. That’s alright as far as it goes — but with SO many RINO’s in the Republican party, that’s NOT VERY FREAKIN’ FAR.

The Conservatives who win, even if Republicans do take the House or BOTH House and Senate back, will be mightily challenged by the RINO’s, because the impulse of the RINO’s will be COMPROMISE — “go along to get along,” work WITH Obama. The Conservatives will HAVE to say NO, AND present an ALTERNATIVE AGENDA loud and clear.

From what I’ve seen, that’s next to impossible. The MSM will stonewall and shut out all news of a Conservative alternative agenda, the RINO’s will sell them down the river in a heartbeat (McCain, Grahamnesty, Collins, Snowe — please...) Even Boehner would be likelier to cooperate with Pelosi than with some of the more staunch Conservatives if it came down to REAL Constitutional issues or cutting spending issues.

Thankfully, we have an alternative media that is now breaking thru — people are paying attention to various sources, from FoxNews to Rush to Beck to Hannity, to Savage and Reagan and Valentine and dozens of others. Not to mention the internet — FR and hundreds of forums and blogs. With the Tea Party and 9/12 groups, we are just beginning to be able to compete with the machines the Left has built for decades. But it won’t come easily. That’s why I don’t think we’ll win Congress this time — at least not both houses. And it will get uglier before we can purge out the dross and reset the system as the Founders meant it to be.

Enough with the whining! On you feet, soldier!

Things are going to be a heckuva a lot better after a hundred Donks are kicked to the curb. Will we still have RINOs? Of course we will. But a few of those were primaried out, as well. Both Anna Little and Scott Sipprelle had to beat RINOs in their primaries, and they did. In New Jersey, RINO Capital of the World.

So accept good news with good cheer. You get to where you want to go by taking steps in that direction.

“Not to mention the internet — FR and hundreds of forums and blogs.”

The number is in the tens of thousands. Patriots have a strong ground game as compared to the previous election cycles. I urge you, and all conservatives, to start a blog or web site and start exposing these leftists, especially in your local elections. Leftists need to be swept out everywhere, including your neighborhood.
