“Corzine Vote Totals Not As Fat As Christie’s – Signals Tough Times Ahead for the GOP, a Party At War With Itself”

These clowns are deck hands on the Titanic and they are going overboard.

If I were them, I would be more concerned about staying away from tar, feathers, ropes and trees than retaining power and influence.

Their conventional wisdom (i.e. that GOP candidates need to be like Democrats to win) has not exactly been a winning strategy – at least not for the GOP.

I would rather have a liberal Democrat run our country than be chronically betrayed (15 short months ago GWB was clamoring for amnesty for illegal aliens, in case anyone has forgotten) by the party with which I have identifed for the last 35 years.

When the GOP loses people like me, who have been more than forgiving over the last 15 years while it has repeatedly bartered away core beliefs and principles in unsuccessful attempts to retain power, it is lost.

I will start by voting against my state’s 2 RINO Senators (Alexander and Corker) whenever I get the chance.

tsk tsk tsk. Let’s be honest here. 6 years. And I along with many, were as angry as anyone over their spending. The last 2 years of Bush’s presidency, you can blame the spending on Pelosi, Reid, Franks, Dodd, Schumer, et al. And when they really got their hands on the controls, look where they’re taking us. And the best part is…they lie consistently.

Actually, it was only FOUR years that the Rs had total control of the White House and Congress. Remember, thanks to Jumping Jim Jeffords in 2001, when he jumped over to the Dems, that kept that loser Daschle in charge of the Senate until he got his ass handed to him in his election by Thune in 2002.

So the Dems are 50% responsible for the Bush economy.

They had control of at least one house of Congress 4 of the 8 years that Bush was in the White House. And remember Bush hardly ever vetoed anything until after 2006. He had to put up with bloated budgets to get the yellow bellied Dems in Congress to fully fund the Defense efforts after 9/11. It was disgusting.

Even if you have to make it up.

Kind of like Joe Biden in a debate.

First thing is to close all GOP primaries.

Aye indeed, Sir Gawain. If so-called “independents” get to pick our nominees, we’ll keep getting McCain duds.

Hey Hey, fellow Schiff supporters.

ginaswo on November 3, 2009 at 2:16 PM

Rubio is so very gorgeous.

ginaswo on November 3, 2009 at 2:18 PM

Agreed!

he calls it like he sees it and it would be nice to have a pessimist on economic issues to balance out the lib Pollyannas!

hmmmmm?

just sayin’

ps dont tell hubby I called Rubio attractive, but ya know he IS! Not that I would vote on that mind you not CONSCIOUSLY anyway lol, but I DID tel all my FL friends and family to support him!

Furthermore, Simmons is actually a conservative candidate; the other person running in that seat is Linda McMahon, wife of the wrestling impressario Vince McMahon, who’s also a conservative.

Really?

Linda McMahon donated to more Dems than Republicans. Pinch and Rahm love her.

Simmons is another career politician and his fiscal RINO favored by the beltway hack GOP. “The public option should be on the table … a more simple and straightforward carbon tax … don’t drill, baby, don’t drill.”

If you’re looking for fiscal sanity and small gov’t, support (or at least acknowledge) Peter Schiff.

Foley is also running.

I like Foley, but I have no idea where he stands on specific issues. He’s running some tough commercials against Dodd here in CT but I don’t who he is other than the former ambassador to Ireland and a rich businessman.

Peter Schiff on the other hand is a guy who not only predicted the economic collpase years before it happened but nailed exactly what the instigators would be and warned of the even more dangerous government response which is happening now. He is the strongest fiscal conservative in this race with a full understanding of Austrian economics as opposed to the all the Keynesians which have infested Washington during both the Bush and Obama years. I have no idea what his social policies are but I think I may throw my support over to him.

And Republicans running on “fiscal restraint” is a little tougher given the gallons of red ink they themselves spilled for eight years — and that pesky little recession they gave us.

So keep defending them, without scoffing, when we ALL know what they’re doing is wrong, and ultimately going to bankrupt this country. It just goes to show me, so many are tied to this corrupt party, and that’s where their patriotism, and loyalty are…because it sure as hell isn’t for the best interest of the country. It’s an every man for himself mentality. If one has to sell his soul to Pelosi, to get the freebies they offer, one would do so.

Well not me! I’d rather die in a ditch alone, than go on any government health care, or welfare program.

In what could be a nightmare scenario for Republican Party officials, conservative activists are gearing up to challenge leading GOP candidates in more than a dozen key House and Senate races in 2010.

My, how far the mighty Republican Party “officials” and their RINO beltway buddies have fallen. In early 2005, we were talking about permanent Republican majorities. In 2006, those geniuses lost the House and the Senate due to outrageous sex scandals, wasteful government spending, and a lack of good conservative leadership. In 2008, they helped nominate Captain Maverick to provide a “moderate” balance to John McCain on the theory that he’d provide “mavericky” and “moderate” leadership. He drove the Party into the ground so badly that, four years after talking about permanent Republican majorities, we have so few seats in the Senate that we can’t filibuster!

These GOP insiders have failed the party. It’s time for them to go and for Conservatives to reassert themselves as the rightful intellectual and political leaders of this party. If they fail to do so, they can face the political consequences. See, e.g., Dede Scozzafava.

Can we please have more pics of Rubio? MmmmMmmmMmmm

Let them be worried………very very worried.

And who knows maybe when that audio or video of Barack praising Mao or Stalin shows up we’ll have more people convinced. You just know it’s got to be out there.

Heck, there might be video of GOP OFFICIALS saying the same thing after Tuesday night.

:-)

primary victories by Palin-drone types will turn off exurban moderates who have gay neighbors and whose friend had an abortion Sophomore year.

I am impressed here. The, how should I put this, gall perhaps, of a full fledged, koolaide drinking, Obamunist using the term “Palin-drone” is just amazing. You really should demand better talking points from Axelrod – the man is obviously phoning it in now.
