I think if we nominate Newt he will go after Barry every which way but loose.
Well said.
Give me fistfights on the House floor over that crap anyday.
I sometimes look at it as a direction, not speed, issue. If we elect -Blank-, would the government be bigger next year, or smaller. If it will be bigger under a Republican, then we are still going to wrong way, just (maybe) slower. Saying I want a smaller government isn't being a purist. I'm fine with $100 billion smaller instead of $1 trillion. And I mean smaller not $100 billion less bigger.
I nominate the above post for "Post of the Year".
Yes, I want people in Congress who understand that to Cut a 4 Trillion Dollar Budget (or whatever the current budget is) it means next year's Budget will be Three Trillion Nine hundred and Ninety Nine Billion or less.
Not "well we were projected to spend Four Trillion Five Hundred Billion next year so if we only spend Four Trillion Four Hundred Billion we cut the budget 100 Billion!"
DC corruption is going to have to be attacked and subdued from outside the two-party power structure. I admit I don't see any easy way to do that.
I’m wondering if the RNC staffer who inadvertently invited yahoo to the conference is still employed today??? S/he did all of us a favor.
If we don’t stop it and start reversing it in 2012 there won’t be anything left. We can not go for “direction” we must go for stop. The edge of the cliff is in sight. Only a president willing to apply the brakes can stop it. None of the top 3 are willing to do this.
We are screwed.
My own reaction when I heard it, a while before reading about it on FR. I thought I was crazy and alone in my rage.
This is where I disagree with Rush, there is no way the elite will ever give up power and conservatives will never take over the republican party. The party in Washington is just a bunch of losers anyway..the house hasn't had a leader with balls and neither has the senate...Power never gives up power.
I agree and I think a new third party is the only political hope for our nation at this point. The GOP is corrupt from the top down. The GOP had it's make or break chance in the 1994 elections. The party ran conservative in 94 and won big then by early 1996 the party had promptly abandoned it. Every GOP POTUS since Bush Sr has been too the left of JFK and just about LBJ as well. Rockefeller Republican I think is the term which is used. That BTW is what Newt is. Newt worked for Nelson Rockefeller in 1968 as the southern regional director. Other than a few bones to conservatives as Speaker of The House to maintain slight credibility he has pretty much remained such.
The GOP refuses time after time to appoint competent willing to take a stand conservatives to leadership positions and instead chooses weak leaders even in the senate. Dole, Lott, and Frist, were major failures as SML. For that reason I support term limits for house and senate. The era of the professional politician needs to be ended and our government returned to "We The People" and not "We The Liberal Lawyer Oligarchy" which it has become
Well said!
Too nice!
Time to give them the same treatment Palin got and I do mean both parties!
