To steer the eagle back to center

step 1. get control of the media.

2.then get ethical real representation in congress.(not pro panderers)

3.balance the courts

4. then take the education system back.

(easier said than done )

O ye of little faith!

The God that gave us Reagan will provide a solution when the time comes.

At worst,McCain could retire after his first term and conservative vice president could pick up the mantle.

Defeating Hillary is the most important thing for our country right now.

Mccain is pro-life and has a 85% rating from the ACU. The sky is not falling.

Coach Glanville was the man in black, and he's still working. Jerry Glanville has been stirring up some excitement in Portland, Oregon.



Also Brett Favre had a bad hip condition and despite his ultimate success, it might have been better for Favre's health if he hadn't played at all.

It isn’t time yet for that. We should let the Republican Party know how important conservatives are to them. If conservatives make a creadible threat to stay home in Nov, the Repubs will recognize our needs.

"Mccain is pro-life and has a 85% rating from the ACU. The sky is not falling."

McCain's ACU rating was only 64% in 2006. The red flag is that while his rating may have been high towards the beginning of his political career, it's taken a free-fall in recent years. Yes, we should worry...a lot.

“Doesn’t make sense to split conservatives into to major parties.”

Really. We don’t want to Ross Perot Hillary into the WH.

And Hillary’s or Obama’s ACU percentage? 9% and 8% or so?


To All:

You may want to hold your nose and vote in this election (I will be)...

Who do you want appointing supreme court justices? The Clintons? Obama?

If you say the selections would be the same as whatever the viable RINOs left would nominate, then you’re just being dishonest.

"forget what Reagan would have done."


Oh...forget that?
I guess the generation gap is closing in.


"what would a sane, non-pandering leader do?"


If you see one, let me know.

That's why we stayed home in 06. It didn't work. No more mulligans.

Yes...his contempt for conservatives has been very evident since his loss to GWB in 2000.

Frankly, I don’t think he’s mentally equipped for the office of POTUS.

Not to mention that, should he have a ‘Rat Congress, the first bill on his desk will be an amnesty bill...which he told Russert he would sign.

Yes... the sky IS falling.

Pardon me if I don’t take proclamations from a Keyes supporter seriously.

There are plenty of other 3rd parties in existence, but none that adhere to the unparalleled wisdom of what our Founders laid out in the constitution, coupled with the policies that, in times past, made the GOP great: The party of life, liberty, limited government, sovereignty, low taxes, and military might.

Whoa. I thought the Founding Fathers were against standing armies and "entangling alliances."

Supreme Court justice appointments are not my main concern right now. GWB actually swung the Court back more to the conservative side with Alito and Roberts, where O’Connor was a lukewarm conservative at best. Those likely to retire during a Democratic presidency would likely be those justices that are liberal anyway. Sure McCain’s picks might be better than Obama’s or Hillary’s, but with the amount of appeasement he’s been famous for in the Senate, I doubt his picks would be the least bit like Alito or Roberts.

My rejection of McCain is meant to be a message to the RNC. Also, I’m not going to reward McCain after he’s stabbed the Republicans in the back. I’m sorry, but if people are worried about protecting the Constitution so much, McCain’s as much of an enemy as a Democrat. We need to look no further than McCain-Feingold to prove that.

Your mileage may vary, but I’m not going to apologize for my refusal to vote for the status quo (aka the “you’ll-shut-up-and-like-it” attitude of the GOP).
