If you want sand to bury your head in, there are plenty of places to hide.

Social Conservatives are all the Republican party can turn to for help.

Fiscal conservatives don’t exist in the Republican party, quick name me one.

Also, if you think ruining the economy will in some way keep the Dems hamstrung, the Dems need the economy to tank even further to justify enacting their agenda.

Senator DeMint.

There, there’s one. And there are many others. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been 51 of them in a while and looks like there won’t be for some time to come.

Could someone please explain to me why the he11 everyone is screaming that repubs needed to be punished and deserved to be thrown out of office??? Why do we never hear that the dems deserve to be punished likewise? THEY are the ones who screwed this economy, starting with Fannie & Freddie! Why have the republicans ALLOWED themselves to be blamed (and therefore, punished) for this?

Hell, the Republicans did all the ground work and heavy lifting our now democratic run socialist revolution.

I still strongly believe the majority of American are NOT socialist and are NOT wanting the government control over their every day lives (for their own good of course). This belief is our future. The Dems will have no excuse for their base and with the current hardcore leftist Dem leadership we can prepare for some real sweeping “change”.

That strong socialist shift will like all attempts prior fail.

Our job and concentration should be on purging the party of these corrupt blue bloods and our Rhinos which are nothing but democrats flogging a false flag.

Lets build a foundation of beliefs that are solid and NOT to be chipped, bent, or cracked without immediate excommunication of the violator. All else will follow.

1. FREEDOM= Freedom not slavery or quasi slavery. Freedom to do as you please live as you please. Freedom to succeed or fail as you please. Freedom

2. SMALL LIMITED GOVERNMENT= Every government agency should be audited annually and cut or eliminate if at all possible. Privatize as much as possible and regularly bid out to competition.

3. DEREGULATION= Plays directly to item one and two. The idea you need a permit to sell hot dogs on a corner is a sign of our rot not glory.

4. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM= Insert your own name, formula, explanation, or void of your choice. Freedom of religion means you shouldn’t be offended by others beliefs nor should you be required to hide your own.

5. PROMOTION OF BASIC MORALS= The demoralization of core one time American beliefs like patriotism, freedom, self-determination, family, self respect, work ethic, and “life is about more than the moment or chasing craven pleasures”. These ideals need to be revitalized and re-instituted across the board (schools, TV, movies, government, everything).

Those beliefs ring home with middle America. Middle America should be our target because middle America is under siege from both sides yet are still the back bone of this nation.

Another bonus hopefully, is that Palin puts a cork in it and goes back to Alaska and governs and gets elected in 2010.

While most of you loved her at the governor’s get together her speech was terrible. Most of the attendees slept through it. She needs to go home and be a good gov for the next six years. She will then be ready for 2016.

Republicans never learn it seems and expect foolishly to win elections fairly.

In an ideal world, you win an election outside the margin of fraud so you don’t have to worry about the Dems stealing the election. But if you think there’s even a chance the election will be within the margin of fraud, you need to spend the money and have the lawyers and the volunteers overseeing the f—ing election. Obama had thousands of lawyers and volunteers deployed in all the battleground states, prepared to raise holy terror if there were ANY irregularities that might have affected his campaign. The GOP had what, 3 guys in a truck somewhere in MN?

Once again, I return to my criticism from early October. The RNC should have pulled its money away from McCain and spent it on the downticket races. If Norm Coleman had another $1MM in advertising and some money to do ballot security, we might not have been in this position. (i.e., a Republican would have been in that one huge county 11 days before the election to say “hey, what is this I hear about all of your voting machines being improperly configured so they can’t automatically report their vote totals? Fix that!” Since the RNC refused to pull out of McCain’s race and focus attention on these Senate races, the funding wasn’t properly deployed to do ballot security and advertising. And now you are seeing the result of that decision.

Sending in lawyers. Coleman has lawyers. The recount will be watched closely, especially in the counties that “found” more votes for Franken. ***

The problem is that the fix is already in. The statistical evidence is absolutely damning to the honesty of that election.

This whole site is a Pitty Party. I come here and it seems like I just walked into the studio of MSNBC.

Hey how about another Andrew Sullivan or Peggy Noonan story? Not.

Can’t HOTAIR find a more intellectually honest blogger?

Alaska is…. thanks Allah!

All you anti-abortion pro-life folks might as well forget it and move on to other issues.

Abortion is here to stay; it’s moot.

Fixed, a$$hole.

How’s Palin going to gain experience? By reading books on amazon lol.

“See” your posts often but will “raise” you, um, how ’bout credibility.
This is only my opinion and I know you think Sarah is unprepared, untested. OK, it takes about two years (working hard to get a Master’s Degree. Sarah has four and (by golly, I betcha)me think she’s gonna have the aquivalent of a doctorate in foreign policy by that time.
Also,
I WORKED shoulder-shoulder with true PUMAs (I’m a conservative)during the election and I came to admire them in a lot of ways. The first thing was their tenacity in working for McCain/Palin (albeit, because they wanted to screw Obama more than they wanted to support McCain), but each and every one told me they had developed a huge respect for Gov. Palin. I came to admire each and every one of these folks (men and women alike). But sadly, I think we all learned an important lesson here: both sides. That is: YOU NEVER WIN IN THE LONG RUN WHEN YOU VOTE AGAINST SOMETHING.

Who’s selling the “Don’t Blame Me” bumper stickers ??
Seriously.

Yeah I would suggest buying one or two for your car. I know I got great attention sporting my “Don’t blame me I voted against Bush … TWICE!!!” sticker!

Eh, maybe we’ll luck out and Pelosi or Reid or Schumer will have a massive stroke. Wouldn’t that be delicious?
