You beat me by a minute!
And I don’t know how to post pictures, you stinker! heh
Good news, eh?
:)
It is! :-)
This advertisement is by the Party Chairman for the Alan Keyes vanity party.
They campaign against Governor Palin and the republican party, they hope that they can derail any GOP gains in 2010, or at least soften the blow that the democrat party may suffer, the Party Chairman (eternalvigilance) will be here trying to soften and dilute any momentum that conservative republicans can muster against Obama, and especially any support for Sarah Palin, who Alan Keyes does not want to run against.
Not me.
I want to translate it into millions of informed Americans who will do their duty as citizens, and thousands of candidates for public office who will do their sworn duty to uphold and defend our Constitution.
This is an article from Gallup. Ever heard of them?
Conservatives: y = 0.0949x - 151.93, R2 = 0.168
Moderates: y = -0.2848x + 609.02, R2 = 0.769
Liberals: y = 0.2993x - 579.59, R2 = 0.778
That's a problem. This means that, for whatever reason, the percentage of liberals is growing at a higher rate than the percentage of conservatives AND that liberal growth is more consistent than that of conservatives. Given the data, I suspect that a lot of it is due to "moderates" becoming more willing to self-identify as "liberals," but who knows? It could indicate a trend of tridentate shift across the spectrum, too.
By the way, as usual, your post/personal attack is a complete misrepresentation of what AIP is.
Interesting.
You're wasting your keystrokes. For some folks, it's easier and more satisfying to chase fairy tales in the clouds than it is to do the hard work on the ground of uniting conservatives and retaking the GOP.
As Party Chairman you should have recognized that I was addressing the advertisement that you posted for the anti republican/very anti Palin party, that you chair. Read my post again.
As usual you started lying right off the bat, where was a personal attack? Are you the party chairman for Alan Keyes or not?
I already emailed this to the:
Sweetieformerlyknownasaleftwingnutjob
Took me a couple years to straighten him out. Almost didn’t survive our first phone call; he was a teacher. I blasted him on school choice. It’s all good; first phone call ended up lasting 6 hours. And he called back after sleeping for two hours. heh
Now, he feels like the only conservative in Chicago, poor thing. I keep telling him he is in the majority but he had his doubts.
Just when I thought he might give up the ghost (you guys don’t understand how rotten libs are...they shun/smite you if you stray off the reservation) he calmly announces this:
“Sweetie, I’ve joined up with the conservative guys I went to high school with. They’re going to come up with a name for the group, we are going to decide policy positions and SOME OF US ARE GOING TO RUN FOR OFFICE.”
yikes
*gasp*
*runs down hall*
*grabs rosary and starts praying*
*looks up and says “You sure ‘bout this, Lord?”*

Nearly two years ago we set as one of our strategic goals the changing of the definition in the modern political vernacular of what an Independent is.
Here is proof that we have succeeded in our efforts so far in a statistically significant way.
No, I'm not "the party chairman for Alan Keyes." I'm the party chairman of America's Independent Party.
I would like to see the questions, because I believe they are designed to make it look like there are fewer conservatives than there actually are.
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/08/the_biggest_missing_story_in_p.html talks about the Battleground poll which as had consistent results for a decade.
Very Conservative: 20%
Somewhat Conservative: 40%
Moderate 2%
Somewhat Liberal: 27%
Very Liberal: 9%
That’s 60% conservative, 36% liberal, and 2% moderate.
My guess is the Gallup poll questions are worded to give people the impression the only choices are very conservative, moderate, or very liberal.
Alan Keyes ran in I think, two different party primaries in 2008 and lost both times of course, neither party wanted him.
Alan Keyes decided to form his own party with you as his chairman and he ran as your party’s presidential candidate, winning about 47,500 votes, didn’t he?
If you want to “retake the GOP,” I’m certainly not stopping you. We support true conservatives no matter what their party registration or label might be.
Yet one of your biggest efforts here is to stop Governor Palin from winning the GOP nomination.
