That wasn’t the outcome in our county. The Old Guard will not allow us, newcomers, to become a factor....at least not yet. We will keep working on it.

It comes down to organization and planning.

You need grassroots conservatives to spend some time and effort to identify a slate of candidates to run the county party committee and Bonus Board Members for JDs, Districts, and State.
Chair, Vice-Chair, Treas, Sec,
This starts lower at the Precinct and Dist. Capt. levels.

Rove is a bit late...or is he?

It would have been nice to have this fight during the primary, instead of having the eGOP go progressive and shut down debate. Too bad. Whatever might have came out of that primary discussion could have then challenged Team obama on a more open field. We might be looking forward to a different world now as a result.

But, you know?..maybe it's better this way and at this time, you know...after they lost. Again.

After their ideas and their approach lost. Again.

So, Mr. Rove, what does the eGOP have to stand on other than a record of appeasement, political failure and record spending?

So with this record to stand on, now Rove wants to fight about heart and soul? Great! Let's have that fight.

The eGOP's republican party stands for compromise and appeasement. Is that something you want to fight for? Or vote for?

Clearly, the answer has been "NO!!!"

The only way people say "yes" to that is if they are scared and have no other option, and even that wasn't enough this last time. Even once loyal Republicans still stayed home!

"The Tea Party needs to disconnect Rove,..."

How about disconnecting Dick Morris, too?

Dick Morris was Bill Clinton's man. His embarrassing efforts to align himself with conservatism come across like a 12-year-old boy trying to pretend that he is part of a group of high school seniors.

As far as Rove goes... He's just another Beltway mercenary.

The death rattle of the GOP is audible.

So is its cadaverous bad breath. Dubya didn't call Rove "Turd Blossom" for nothing.

This is b.s. -- and it's been going on since the 1880's, when the money boys derided us as "the Mugwumps". It's about four generations past time to fix bayonets and drive the bagmen and lobbyists from the cockpit of the GOP and replace their Bonesmen and bundlers with Main Street Republicans.
