Conservatives, nationwide are getting angry about the loss of principle by GOP'ers in office. Big spending in Washington and Sacramento. The inability to control illegal aliens. Failure to protect jobs and the failure to stop the social agenda of liberals in our schools in finally causing conservatives to say NO to GOP incumbents, even if it means we could lose seats in a legislative body. The thought is simple, why protect a Republican running for office if their voting record will differ little from the Democrats.
In Utah, GOP Congressman Chris Cannon could not win his Parties endorsement for re-election--his opponent got more votes in Convention then he did.
In Nebraska, Congressman tom Osborne, and legend in the state, was defeated for the nomination for Governor due to his weak stand on illegal aliens.
In Heardon, Virginia, five incumbent city council members lost re-election due to their creation of a "Day Labor Center" for illegal aliens.
In the California 50th Congressional District Special Election, the Democrat is ahead of the Republican, since the Republican has been portrayed as more liberal than many Democrats--has even supported Democrats in the past.
But, Pennsylvania last Tuesday should have been the two by four to every GOP candidate and office holder in the nation.At least 14 incumbent GOP office holders, including the top two in the State Senate were defeated in a Republican primary, by Republicans. The good news is that if they had not been defeated, many GOP voters would have stayed home in November. This is a lesson for us in California, and the nation, GOP voters have had enough of Republicans acting like Democrats. Our candidates need to stand for GOP principles, then vote and govern that way once in office.
No longer will GOP voters settle for, "well at least they have a "R" after their name." There is a revolt going on in GOP ranks and it is moving across the nation.
"the question is who is listening."
If I had to ake a guess, I'd have to say that not many of the pompous elected members of Congess are hearing a word being said. Most think they are way out of reach of "reprimand" because they think voters woould give them anything just to keep democrats out. We shall see. PA was a "special" local case.

I think you are quite right.
And, it will take a lot--a LOT of prayer and hard work to get anyone of pork fattened fat headedness and ego mania to hear a thing remotely patriotic in this era.
even pre-emptively strikes at conservative candidates like Katherine Harris, before the primary is even settled.
That was Jeb, not POTUS.

It's STILL a very shocking and very REVOLTING dev uh lot ment.
Absolutely correct.
The DIMRAT PARTY is a traitorous, demonized [as in literally, folks--quite literally] global tyranny, corrupt, criminal clique, cabal, coven.
"Enterprise" is too nice a word for them.
uh oh.
I forgot. Is that really true? I don't recall. Or was he just blackwashed and framed by a DIMRAT 'project.'
I think that's true about California--lived in San Diego 10 years.
However, I think it would take a LOT of much more effective communication and grass roots networking than often occurs. If the churches are massively energized along with all the other conservative interest groups, I think it can happen.
But the globalist traitors wind up Hollyweed and all the traitorous liberal mouth pieces with full blown MSM support and enormous tons of outside money pours in--it's not a cake walk.
It seems that the Cuban population of the Tampa area haven't changed that much. The Cubans I know are very proud that they are American citizens, and are very much against illegal invaders crashing the gates.
Sure, and Clintonize the nation. Please, one Clinton in a lifetime is one too many. We have to work our tails off to ensure that the traitor John McCain does NOT become the Republian nominee.

Would you please seriously consider putting thse 2 sentences as part of the header or footer of every FR page? Perhaps in bold Red? Or Red & White on a blue background? I think it's that crucial. I think people need to see it constantly for some of them to really wake up to that fact.
I think a lot of folks recognized in Shrillery's "health" care a huge trojan horse of tyrannical control and shredding of privacy and centralized monitoring of every American.
If SHRILLERY GETS IN POWER again, I consider it at best a 50/50 chance that there will even be another election in the USA until after Jesus comes again. She is that evil and she has that much globalist money and power behind her. She would stage an effective coup and cancel all further elections on the basis of some international crisis she and her globalist stooge puppets created in behalf of setting up the global government.
Consider this the rant of a loon, if you wish. There's too much truth in it for my comfort.
That being said, 9 out of 10 Hispanics I've talked to believe in the conservative
school of thought. Family seems to be the utmost important part of their lives.
Along with that is the right to life. The don't even talk about abortion,
it seems taboo to them.

Wonderful news. But will they get out and VOTE conservative?
Indeed!

UT3: Cannon Denied GOP Endorsement Over Immigration Stance
By Marie Horrigan
May. 15, 2006
As President Bush prepares for a televised speech on immigration scheduled for tonight, the state Republican convention in Utah Saturday graphically illustrated the schisms within his party on the volatile issue: Five-term Republican Rep. Chris Cannon was denied the official endorsement of the state GOP organization and forced into a June 27 primary in the 3rd District against a wealthy businessman and first-time candidate, John D. Jacob, whose challenge has centered on his contention that Cannon -- like Bush a supporter of establishing a "guest worker" program -- is not strong enough in opposing illegal immigration.
Cannon says he favors strengthened border security and denies opponents' charges that he favors "amnesty" for illegal immigrants. But the former executive for venture capital and steel companies shares a view held by many in the business community that the nation's economy requires the labor of large numbers of immigrants, who they say should be provided the legal opportunity to seek jobs under a guest worker program. Cannon also portrays allowing immigrants to seek freedom and economic opportunity in this country as a human rights concern.

That's why I changed my registration from Independent to GOP a long time ago.
The discussion should be about replacing Republican-in-name-only during the primaries. The primary is the time to mold the parties candidates. Incumbents that are not up to the job - or are afraid of the FBI file the Dems have on them - must go.
Even as sorry as he is, he's still miles ahead of most dems.

Some truth to that. I still consider him a huge globalist stooge. When the order comes down from the puppet masters, I'm sure on critical issues and crises toward setting up the global government--he'll fold and vote for the global government and flushing sovereignty. I don't trust him any further than I could throw Shrillery's left buttock.
You need to learn to look at a RINO like Snowe or Specter as a place holder until more conservative candidates can be elected.

I think that's a very critical point that needs repeated often.
Great news.
OK, I can agree completely with that. Club For Growth is an excellent vehicle for political donations towrds this same objective...
No. Cheering CONSERVATIVE candidates in the GOP wins.
That's how I see it.
For the most part, that's why they want to get elected. They have no desire to help the country or make the world a better place. It's all "gimmee, gimmee, gimmee."
