Republicans worried about escalating GOP feud

May 13, 2009 by  

Republicans worried about escalating GOP feud Following their massive defeat in last year’s general election, growing internal acrimony risks derailing the GOP’s plans to shore up its base and find a visionary leader.

In a latest development, Dick Cheney, speaking on CBS Sunday Morning, seemed to suggest Rush Limbaugh better reflected the Republican ideas than former Secretary of State Colin Powell, once again stimulating speculations that the controversial radio show host has become an unofficial voice of the party.

Meanwhile, GOP Committee Chairman Michael Steele has engaged in a "war of words" with Mitt Romney after he had cast doubt on the former Massachusetts governor’s conservative credentials.

"[I]t was the base that rejected Mitt because of his switch on pro-life, from pro-choice to pro-life," Steele said while guest-hosting a recent radio show.

"It was the base that rejected Mitt because it had issues with Mormonism [and] because they thought he was back and forth and waffling on [economic issues]."

There is also an ongoing feud between Sarah Palin’s supporters and Romney, who has said the Alaska governor should never have been placed on Time’s most influential list.

According to media reports, Palin backers have released a web video using the footage of a bear and Mitt Romney jogging near his summer home in New Hampshire, suggesting the former presidential candidate is running away. The video reportedly ends with "Palin firing a hunting rifle and a bear’s head on her trophy wall."

    Conservatives need to unite.

    Conservatives for far to long have been sitting on the sidelines silent, thinking that Americans love their country and will make the right choice for what’s best for the country.

    But unfortunately we have a new breed that hates Capitalism and the America we all know and love, and they lust for power.

    We’ve been foolish thinking that no one could sneak in, in the dead of night and usurp power in our country. Not in America.

    Well, not only have they usurped control, but this country is on the brink of losing it’s identity and it’s place in the world.

    We don’t need new ideas, because Conservative values are just as relevant today as they were two hundred years ago. They are absolute truths and timeless. Maybe we could dress them up a bit to make them look fresh for the young but they will never grow old. Again they are timeless.

    All Conservatives need to get involved NOW and stop standing on the sidelines letting someone else do the work and hoping for the best. HOPING FOR THE BEST IS LIBERAL NONSENSE THINKING.
    And we need to clear our ranks of RINO’S.

    YOU CANNOT HAVE A CONSERVATIVE PARTY WITH CONSERVATIVE VALUES WATERED DOWN BY LIBERALS.

    Either you are a Conservative or you are a Liberal. You cannot be both. We can’t have people limping along on two opinions.

    Maybe the majority of people don’t want Conservative values anymore, and if that’s the case, well then we’ve lost our country and there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it. But you can’t have it both ways. It’s one way or the other.

    And sitting around trying to figure out what to change to attract Liberals doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of succeeding. Either we are Conservative or we are not.

    Keep sniping away. The radical left had its day 40 years ago and went down in the flames of McGovernism in ’72, now it’s the rights right to self-destruct. See ya later, bunch of back seat, closet pacifist babies. Dick Cheney, nor gb never saw nam. Such a shame, it could have been a gain for them.

    The Republican Party is over, because they abandoned us conservatives during the last six years. They gave us McCainus to run against the the white america hating prince bowing to the muslim king and his racist witch (spelled with a capital B) wife who wrote papers during her college years against white America. Don’t let the media fool you again. The Obamas are not proud of the United States of America… and the United States of America is not proud of them. But until the Republican Party gives the people, conservative candidates for elections, (mark my word) the Republican Party will CONTINUE to lose elections at every level of government.

    • http://donthaveone Mark

      And as long as they let the Dems constantly kick them in the groin, and dont fight back, I agree. Its funny how the left wing dems can be so agressive and tough on the republicans, but kiss the ass of the muslims, the terrorists, the terrorist governments and the whole world, while the republicans can stand firm against these terrorist threats and punch them back, but let the dems run all over them. What the heck is going on here?

    • http://donthaveone Mark

      Oh yeah, I almost forgot. If old Michelle was never proud to be an American, I cant wait to see how she feels after 4 years of us going down the drain at the hand of her old man. Suppose she will notice, or will she be too busy running around spending all our money on herself and her friends? She is like school in the summertime – no class.

  • TrueAmerican

    So how many of you will do the work necessary to get this accomplished? Go to your states website that lists all the cadidates that are running, should be available Sept. 1 or thereabouts. Ferret out which ones are true constitutionalists – no matter what party they are! Put yourself together a neighborhood specific list. Make that list into a handout. Starting Oct. 1 knock on every door in your neighborhood that is represented by the list you have made and spread the word that in order to bring America back to what our founding fathers gave us these are the candidates to vote for!

  • Joe

    One registered Republican who was not happy with McCain!
    One Veteran who is afraid for my country!

    Not only are the Republicans not thinking, the people weren’t thinking either.
    When the Obanana people came to my door 3 times I told them I thought too much of my country to ever vote for him.

  • 13th Gen. American

    They are fighting to get on the top of the heap. Its like who runs the school yard. Every year it might change a bit but they still have a say so on how to play and who is on what team. Then there comes a new girl in town. Every one likes her because she’s pretty and smart and funny and shares her lunch and likes the same games as you. So the old boys are in the back sayin “Look at me!!!Look at me!” “I was here first!” I say make the school yard bullies repeat a grade. Go help the new girl get elected class president. She thinks like us, plays like us but she can stand up to those dumb boys for us. AND if that ol’ bear(Russia) come at us she wont think twice to shoot his head off.
    Maybe she’ll even put us before those rainbow caribou and drill for oil, so we’ll have more money in our pockets to pay off our 87 gazillion dept.
    PS> I cant even kill a mouse, seriously, can’t do it. BUT I will be the first in line to drill some knee caps if it save even one of our men and women in uniform or saves another life lost on American soil. Even if they were do destroy say…..Sanfransisco .

    • 13th Gen. American

      PSS. Also do some major praying like Bill said. On our knees,” Im so sorry for being an idiot and letting those Anti-Christ, Anti- America, Anti-moral, Anti-normal,
      anti-constitution, anti-life,anti-freedom nut jobs run the place.” Amen

      • http://donthaveone Mark

        I agree, and its amazing that without saying a poltical party here, it totally described one of them, and even those in it know its them. So sad. God heal our land. Amen.

  • Bill Gaines

    I agree with Glenn Beck that the Republican Party has moved more to the left of center more than ever before and moderates are trying to say that the reason we lost is that we were are too conservative for main steam America. Although I supported Mccain, it was not with great joy. I’m tried of having to vote for the lesser of two evils. I think the moderates in the party should seriously evaluate where they fit best and follow Colin Powell and Arlen Specter to the Democratic Party. I think the Republican base failed to turn out because they couldn’t get excited about Mccain. Sarah Palin was his best move. Republican leaders need to reconnect with their base or they are going to lose it further, and this just helps the Democrats. I know many Republicans that are through, and have moved on to the Libertarian movement which is alive and well. Our leaders need to attend a tea party. These are Americans who care and who see that we are really losing America as we knew it and the future for our kids. Most of all Americans need to heed the Bible in 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin , and will heal their land”. We are reminded in Ephesians 6:12 & 13 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” and we are further reminded “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.” Pray that the leaders we have will turn to God for their wisdom and that God will raise up new leaders who will heed his Word.

    • http://donthaveone Mark

      And Bill, this is a great point, if people put the two and two together here. We are supposed to appoint Christian men to these posts, and we have failed to in large part, because of one, not many have arised that will publicly declare Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and two, when they do like Mike Huckabee, the Christians in force dont vote for them, and that is sad. At least for now, the Republican party from time to time has people, like Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee that acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and King, whereas the Democrats seem to offer Catholics, well at least they claim to be Catholic, but they readily approve of killing babies, so I dont really think they are. The democrats are in bed with the gay rights movements, the muslim movement, the abortion movement, and many many more evil movements straight from the pits of hell. Its a shame, but as I read in another post here, my vote has pretty much been reduced to voting for the lesser of two evils. A sad commentary on the Republican part, that you are only the lesser of two evils. What happened to you? The dems have always been evil, since FDR spewed all his lying to congress about the cost of the Hoover Dam, which he knew was an out and out lie, but lied to get them to approve it, and his out and out lie about federal income tax, being voluntary to help with the war effort. I dont know about you, but they never stopped taking from me. This is where the evil in the dems started. Shame on the republicans for not rising above more than being the lesser of two evils.

      • http://PersonalLiberyDigest Gypsy

        To Mike:

        I believe the reason that Mike Huckabee didn’t get the votes was not because he is a Christian, but probably because the people had a hard time understanding his Fair Tax Plan. It sounded too complicated – and involved generating way too much paper work that people couldn’t comprehend – in order to qualify for certain aspects of the plan. Many people hadn’t heard of Fair Tax, or Huckabee for that matter. Not enough millions of dollars behind him, as Obama had.

        I watch Huckabee’s show every week on the Fox News cable channel. If more people saw the show, they would come to a better understanding of what he is all about, and where he is coming from. Unfortunately, it was evident at the first CPAC meeting that he didn’t get enough backing to get his name considered for the nominations list.

        Unless Huckabee can reach more people, Bobby Jindal/Sarah Palin may just get the nomination. I’m all for Sarah, as she is my governor. I think she has done a fine job in spite of having to take wasted time, and money, to fight off all the crazy left wingers’ accusations, who want to get rid of her!

        Of course, anything can happen in the next 3 1/2 years. We shall have to wait and see which candidate prevails….if any of the above.

      • http://PersonalLiberyDigest Gypsy

        So sorry, I meant to address Mark!

  • tony

    What is everyone worried about? Obama is only going to raise taxes on the rich, so 90% of us got it made. Really! The democrates passed a spending bill and never read it. What a bunch of clowns. Our grand kids will suffer and so will the Country.

  • s c

    No one should wait for a political party to wake up and come its senses. Specter and Powell are indicative of what has happened “conservativism.” The Republican/Conservative party is drowning in closet libs and neo-neanderthals who serve no purpose.
    Without consistent standards, you have no functional party. As of today, there should be plenty of libs who can see Obama for what he is. We seem to have no forthcoming leadership on the conservative side.
    It’s time for leaders to come from all 50 states. Bypass the status quo. Screw the RNC. Screw the DNC. Neither knows what leadership is. Both are total, money-wasting disgraces and threats to our existence.
    How could we do any worse than pick names out of a phone book?

  • Bill Boykin

    The Republican Party cannot be patched.I would suggest that all conservatives, moderates, Republicans, Libertarians and all people that want to save this once great nation take the following actions: (1) call no names (as Steele and others did), (2) respond not to questions about party personalities (on CBS or anywhere) , and (3) focus on the original Constitution that limits Congress to a page of “powers”. Keep it simple. Show how any Democrat program enacted or proposed (a) conflicts with the Constitution (even in the extended 200 pages of the Federalist Papers), and (b) does not provide a net “freebie” but costs everyone in the end with a net loss. Mention the President Johnson taking Social Security out of its trust fund and spending Social Security as part of general revenue. Show how the 16th Amendment under President Wilson has devastated this country and our personal freedoms — including those freedoms from government that allowed the poorest people to generate wealth.

    • David

      You have hit it right on the head. 100% agreement sir. Distractions of personality are irrelevant or worse. The constitution is ALL that matters now.

  • Stephen Johnson

    People like Colin Powell and Mitt Romney do not best represent the Republican party. They are TOO LIBERAL! No different that than Bush or McCain–too liberal. People who are members the Illuminati, “free”masons, Eastern Star, Mormon church, Vatican, Jehovah Witness and anyone who suports the homosexual movement in any way should not be allowed to call themselves a Republican. We don’t need these satanic cult members in the Republican party.

    I would a million times over rather see former Prime Minister of England Margaret Thatcher and former Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir run for the Oval Office, than 99.9% of the people the Republican party will consider “good enough” during the next election.

    However, I would like to see a Huckabee/Palin ticket.

    The best thing the GOP can do for itself is stop allowing just anyone into the party for the “just because” sake. This is what killing this party.

    • http://donthaveone Mark

      How about Palin-Jindal? Huckabee scared a lot of people because of his lack of spending control in his state.

  • Aubie Baltin

    Its a fight the must be escalated and won by the Conservatives. Romney is one hell of an administrator but he is no visionary and cannot lead the Republicans back to health. 75% of Americans are religious conservatives but more than half are not Republicans. They must be turned on to Vote Reagan and Gingrich turned them on enough so that they got excited and VOTED. Romney and Huck can’t do that Palin can! But the fight must be fought and won and all the RINO”S must be kicked out of the party if America is to be saved from becoming a Fascist State and its got to be done by 2010 Because if we don’t win 45 Republican seats (not counting Rino’s) it will be too late to stop Obama.

    UNCOMMON COMMON SENSE

      Thank you Doctor. Go Sarah. Vision, strength, family, success, smart, good looking, backbone, and the bastards spent millions trying to destroy her and find dirt, and came up empty and had to make up stuff that didnt matter. She has them scared you know, real scared. Im waiting for Sarah and Bobby Jindal to lead us in 2012.

    • Dan, Phoenix

      Gingrich/Palin = best conservative ticket. Less government, more freedoms, lower taxes, great for the economy (Reaganomics), safer America.

      This ticket is unbeatable.

      • PattyAnna

        Life (even for the inconvenient), Liberty (even for people of conservative faith base) and pursuit of happiness (not financial parody) are the basic values our nation must embrace to restore America’s enviable place on the world stage. The “Jane Fonda” mentality is destroying our nation from within as other countries have adopted the “destroy patriotism and values in america” mantra. Hollywood and the Spendocrats are not well received by a vast majority of Americans. Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin can and will gather the believers when we lay down the swords of divergent “agendas” and unite under the banner of Faith, Family and Fortune to rebuild the fabric America once provided for it’s inhabitants. Our American “cruiseliner” has a limited capacity to support and empower it’s citizens. If we ignore that and allow stowaways to stay and usurp our nations’ goods and services – while we exterminate our own children – YES – the meek will inherit the earth sooner than we think. PS – REAL torture is taking place in Planned Barnehood clinics daily.

  • Buckeye8

    Well all of you Repub voters out there if you agree with the radical vision of Rush Sleasball and all for the top 2% then stay with your party other wise get with us dissatisfied democrats and get behind a third party agenda as we are both hurting badly.

  • Dan, Phoenix

    The GOP needs to understand that this is the time to push the more Reagan-style conservative views. The Socialism will get our country into deep trouble and the only way out is to get back to Reagan-conservativism.
    Cut taxes all across the board and cut the crap out of federal spending. The only important fed spending that we need, at this time, is for our countrys security. National defense, border security and port security.
    If anyone thinks socialism works, just look at the dismal failure in California. The whole country will look like Cal. in the next few years. Fix California by drilling offshore, or let them go broke. California is releasing prisoners to save money, is that what the Obama administration will do next?
    Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Sarah Palin need to get together and work on a conservative basis and drop the lef-sided Republican views immediately. The sooner, the better. The people in the Tax Partys are trying to tell American politicians that we are sick and tired of the left-sided BS that only hurts America. We need Reagan-style politics back, and now. Are you listening Michael Steele?

    • http://donthaveone Mark

      Exactly. And you know, I dont know where the hell some of these republicans ever got the idea we want be like the democrats in our thinking. Where did it come from? I mean these guys are morally bankrupt over there. They dont stand for anything, and fall for everything. They are like a fart in the wind, never knowing which way they will drift next.

    • boysnana

      In talking about California, you said drilling would help, which I agree with, however, our problem is the illigals coming into our state and we are paying for every damn thing in the world. They have drained us dry and Swartznager is standing by and doing nothing. It SUCKS.

  • JERRY

    the repubs need to wake up and listen to the people, john mccain was a joke to run for pres. he liked the libs to much, sarah was a good choice for my vote she has a back bone. mitt romney wont get my vote hes a lib if the truth was known. just really listen to some of his answers. we need leaders with a back and do just what the libs do what they want isnt that right nancy!!!!

    • http://donthaveone Mark

      Right on Jerry. Sarah has a backbone, and they couldnt find any dirt on her that mattered, even though they did try to make a big deal out of hunting wolves from helicopters, which she is required by Alaskan law to do to manage the pack. Why doesnt everyone recognize why the press got so mobilized to try to destroy her? The dems were, and still are scared to death of her. She represents everythign they arent. A family person, good looking, honest, God fearing, loyal to the people that elected her, and very smart, educated and successful. It has them trembling to where they dont know what to do. Had she been the one that was running in the presidents spot, I believe we wouldnt be in the trouble we are today. It just scares me as to how big of a hole these spine-less jellyfish that are in there now will dig in the next 4 years.

  • William Sowles

    AS MARGARET THATCHER OF BRITIAN SAID: “SOCIALISM ONLY WORKS UNTIL THEY RUN OUT OF OTHER PEOPLES MONEY!”

  • Robin from Indiana

    Obama campaigned for the presidency, while he should have been doing the job he was elected to do. This senator position didn’t stop him from going public, very public, and gaining a following well before the election was even on the horizon. Yes, the Republicans lost because their candidate looked and is old in comparison to what the Democrats were able to muster up. Obama was a nobody. Whoever was running the PR in his campaign knew what they were doing. Going with new, younger blood worked for the Democrats, but I think the GOP would do fine if they would just get back to basics and what the Republican agenda had been. The Republican platform along with a solid candidate will allow the GOP back in power. Obama does damage control all the time. He is impulsive. He is in a rush to change things. This will be his undoing….

    • Kris in CO

      Robin, when you say “get back to basics”, I couldn’t agree more. John McCain said that when he was on the campaign trail and it has stuck with me ever since. Your post is right on target. Kudos!

      • http://donthaveone Mark

        But unfortunately, John McCain is a career politician who happened to be too old for the people to vote for him. People are getting tired of the career politician, and more and more of them are going to start getting voted out of office. Barrack won it with his slick willy speaking skills, even though they all were just empty words, preaching to the choir. America bought that crap. The problem with uneducated Americans, is we all have to pay for their actions.

    • http://donthaveone Mark

      That is the problem with America today. We are so hung up in this hollywood things of having the looks, the car, the house, and all the material bull crap. Anyone noted that these hollywood cats are the most distasteful, decadent, immorral dirty scum bags you will ever find on the earth? They are morally bankrupt, will do anything for a buck, will sleep with anyone and everyone, even their own sex, will do any and all drugs, and will fly around the world in their private jets to stand before a TV camera and tell you we need to conserve on energy and not use fossil fuels. Yeh. The biggest hippocrites also. Why try to be like them? I dont get it. It isnt who you look like, its who you are that is important, and until American gets that, were not going to get it.

      • http://yahoo Harold Hartsock

        Dear Mark
        You are so right! Hollywood puts out this dirty obsene stuff for a evil reason ,that is to destroy our digtney and demoralize our viewers or famlies.Our children view this trash almost daily and it has a big negative influence on their set of values.Hollywood is wholly owned by the Jews and the plan is to portray Israel in a positive lite and degrade our society through our children.It is part of a larger strategy to divide and conquer our people.

    PERHAPS A VIABLE 3RD PARTY WILL WAKE UP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BOSSES!

    • Maryann

      The Constitution Party has only been active for a few short years and already has come up into the third slot. If we erased all laws that disagree with the Constitution we would be back where we started and should never have gotten away from. Trust Ron Paul and hope he can serve long enough to help get us out of the mess we are in.

      • http://donthaveone Mark

        I guess I need to look in to this Ron Paul guy, as Ive heard him recommended many times on these threads. I dont know a lot about him. I did watch the debates, and when he talked some points he made sense, but others he came off like the whiney little kid that got beat up on the playground everyday. He seemed to whine his way through everything. Maybe he needs to work on his public speaking, as he really needs to give the appearance of being comfortable and strong with what he is saying. His explaining his points did not impress me is what I am saying here, and as a guy who might have been open to voting for him, he lost me because of that, so I know I wasnt the only one.

      • mike s

        I sort of agree with your assesment of Rons speaking skills. This really is his major weakness. Speech giving however is hardly as important as content. What he says is pretty much spot on. (Unlike some current presidents he actually studied economics). As far as confidence goes, thats just a game, Being confident dosn’t make you right. Thats how so many people get ripped off every year. In stead I’m pretty sure that Ron would want you ( as a responsible voter ) to check out the facts yourself and not just take his word for it. ( Like some current presidents might, (I wont say who.))

      • http://yahoo Harold Hartsock

        Dear mark
        yea he did seem weak in his presentations but I think he was more desperate and emotional in his commitments and concerns for our country`s health.
        Now we know he was right about many of the issues he presented and I believe it would of been a blessing for America if he had won the presidental election.

  • ONTIME

    With all that helpful advise coming from the left side asylum about how Republicans should become, I can hardly wait for the elections when they can be told again, “go pound salt’. The RINO problem is a major one for the Real Republicans, Cheney at least understands the party platform, he is a infighter and a damn good one, his outspokeness is giving the left major pains of constipation and Pelosi may be forced from the speaker position soon. I think this man Cheney has great value and insight.

    Real Republicans know that whatever the left thinks, if you think the opposite you are on safe ground, if you understand your unrevised American History, if you stay on track with the platform and remember your values, the left and all their ranting won’t amount to squat and their Alinsky handbook may as well be in the head for use as TP.

    • Robin from Indiana

      I agree with you! The Republicans have moved toward the center. This is not where they should be. Two major parties with similar ideas and agendas has made it easy for Americans to choose the one shouting ‘change’. True, blue Republicans are the only ones who know the difference.

      • http://donthaveone Mark

        Right. The center is that gray area where so many people in life reside, where everything is just ok. Sorry, I dont want to live there. I know right from wrong, and I know good from evil, and I know black from white, day from night, up from down, left from right. I dont want to live it that gray area. Its ugly there, full of agents of evil. I know, I lived there for the first 40 years of my life. The center is no place to be.

    • http://donthaveone Mark

      Amen. If the Republicans want to be returned to power and do what is right for the country, they need to listen to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, as these guys tell it like it is, and have a lot of truth and wisdom that comes out of their words. They tell the republican party what they are doing wrong, but they arent listening. The dems hate these guys, because you know what, the truth hurts man. The truth hurts. They tell the truth about the left wing liberal appeasing pacifist pants wetting democrats, and they tell the truth about the republicans that are acting like democrats. Fella’s, please listen to these guys. They are so in touch with the common American guy, as I hear them talk, and listen to the things they say, and it sounds as if it was what I would say if I had the chance to do so. Wise up guys, and get your act together. We cant take too much more of these lefties without suffering irreparable damage. They side with our enemy, and give them rights, and give them freedoms. They give benefits and freedoms to illegal aliens right here in American, that are not afforded to our own citizens. They poly-coddle to the muslims, yet lambast the Christians and Catholics and Jew’s. They insist on taking my hard earned money and giving it to those who want to stand around with their hand out waiting eagerly for it. Their views are skewed, and they are out of touch with reality. Nancy Pelosi talks and lie after lie flow freely from her lips. She has topped Bill Clinton in that category, which I thought was impossible. My mother used to tell me “You go to hell for lying” Well, they changed that. Now you go to the Clinton cabinet for lying. I guess Nancy wants that post. Unbelievable. People, are we really that far removed from reality in this country that we cant see these cats are evil? Are we really that uneducated? I dont get it.

      • Little Blue

        Pelosi is a powerful woman and she scares the ** out of people. She is a liar and a bully and people won’t stand up to her and call her out on her b.s. I too didn’t think we could get a bigger jerk in the whitehouse, but here we are with a real scary president and I don’t trust a word he says. He sounds like a minister or a hip hop mc and so people don’t hear what he says they like the delivery. Does the GOP have anyone who is sharp and can tell the truth? I know they are out there. Please stand up and criticize this government because Obama is NOT for the people. He is for himself. I try not to listen to him when he speaks but for anyone to be informed, even if we think the guy is the biggest jerk ever, we have to call him on his lies and false promises. We own a small business and don’t want a government bailout. We want less governent! I know he has skeletons and they will surface I just hope it’s not to late. I am against giving all these illegals a free ride once they are here. They have already committed a crime just being here. Send them all back! If the illegals have had children here send them all back to wherever they come from. We don’t want them here. We need to get back to the days when the government did what the people wanted not the other way around! I am sick of Obama the terrible and Pelosi and all the people in the Terrible’s cabinet. We have to stand up to him NOW! Send letters to the whitehouse and flood the inbox with the truth. We know these guys are raping the country all the while they say they are for the little guy I say bs and I will continue sending e-mails to Terrible and his ilk until they get honest and I don’t think they know how. They speak with two tongues so whoever is listening will get confused. I am not confused. I might have a hard time expressing what I want to say but my heart is in the right place which is more than I can say for the liberals in this country.

    The problem with the GOP is ‘TIRED BLOOD!’

    • chic

      Yup, tired blood, tired spirit, tired everything. We need a serious infusion of new blood & GOOD ideas. They keep pushing us to be ‘liberal lite’ . We don’t need anymore from the Romneys, McCains & Steeles. Fergedaboutit.

      Where are the people with fire in their bellies for this great country? People ready to fight for it, to slap the complacency outta the party? Step forward, please. Stop tiptoeing around the socilist agenda spreading like plague, and call it what it is!! We need you!

        I think half of the problem is, so many young and upcoming republicans see what the democrats and their controlled media do, and they dont want to subject their family and friends to this left wing liberal media constant attacks. I think it will take some young single guy or gal to come along, that isnt married with kids, that can say go ahead and attack me, and Ill throw it back in your face. But a lot of people with a wife and children, or older parents, dont want to subject them to this. The democrats press are some real bastards, with one objective, destroy anyone that runs against them. Look at the hell they put on the Palin’s. I wouldnt wish that on anyone. Yet John Edwards is out laying the bone to Reille Hunter, and the major news didnt investigate, didnt look into it, didnt attack him, it took Fox News to just report it and that was it. Had this been a republican, every day you would have heard ABC, CBS, NBS, CNN, MSNBC and all of them, all day be on it, but until the word about it just kind of leaked out slowly on the internet to where it became public knowledge, did the networks hardly give it anytime. Why? Because it shows their true colors, of having a political agenda, that of the left wing liberal pacifist appeasers, who are not tough on anyone but republicans. They kiss the butt of the terrorists, and of foreign governments that crap on us all the time, but boy they sure can play hardball against the republicans, christians, catholics and jews. Everyone else if off limits. So we need some single young guy to come along that is willing to take on these blood suckers with a “thats all you got” attitude towards them.

    • http://donthaveone Mark

      The whole problem with politics is tired blood. These life time politicians have gotten in bed with the lobbyists and big companies, and need their lazy dirty butts rooted out. We need term limits, or the American voter in both parties, to unite as citizens, and vote your party, but vote against the incumbant on every level, and rid our selves of this cancer. It is a cancer, and if you leave it untouched, it will spread unmercifully, and it has.

    **Remarking on the story about the Republicans’ infighting, I would like to say we, in this country, need a strong unifying group to keep America’s ideals alive for the Republic. The Obama group has united and are very organized, albeit for the wrong reasons. To promote Obama’s priorities!!!! What???? You will see lots of bad press from the media about anyone other than a Democrat or anyone questioning the path Obama has for us……do NOT be fooled. We do not want our country to be Socialist! Stand up and fight and get involved in many conservative groups out there: http://www.downsizedc.org, the 9.12 Project groups, End the Fed. Once you do, you will see you are not alone, and we are growing in numbers every day. Government has outgrown its britches and wants to be the end all to all of our problems. Do not let this happen to your thinking……remain independant, and vote for anything that stops government intrusion!! Have faith and stand up for what you believe. Read the Constitution, the 5000 Year Leap, Rules for Radicals, and Secrets of theTemple and stay involved.
    God Bless America,
    Sassymrs

    It’s a shame that all the different groups making up the democrat party can circle their wagons when needed. They have so many huge egos and fight constantly, but the difference maker is the news media. If the conservatives’ want to be a force in the public policy making they must first gain a market share of these news companies in order to gain fair reporting. Otherwise the US is a lost cause. It’s far too easy for the democrats to cover up all their flaws and mistakes while the republicans’ are trounced on every night.

    • Pat

      So true. The Media is married to Obama, and are all shareholders in the Democratic Party. There is so much lying going on it is second nature. Obama is married to the Labor Unions which means small businesses will be swallowed up, subservient to the Labor bosses, who will reap a fortune in enforced Union dues. And that is just for openers. The auto industry has been brought down on its knees, perhaps now that President Obama “owns” them from the first bailing out, they will be sold to foreign industry, such as FIAT, who are drooling at the mouth to takeover ownership. And that isn’t even the half of it, but frankly, I am sick of what is happening and do not want to continue talking about it. The only other grassroots website I would suggest checking into is HumanEvents@HumanEventsOnline.com, a conservsative underground network with uptodate and trustworthy reporting of events as they are happening.

      That because evil has always stuck together, just like the black gangs, like the mafia, the hispanic gangs of southern california. These evil suckers stick together and no one talks bad about no one, while they are out screwing over everybody they can. Its all for one and one for all. Such are the evil bastards of the democratic party, and owning ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC, they can spread all the political propaganda they want, which is devoured by the uneducated American public, whom half of them dont know that the news they are being fed is straight from the democratic party. Im telling you, a lot of our population does not know this, and they think the news actually reports the truth about things. It is all political agenda, and the dems are an organized gang, with the TV stations and big papers in their pockets. They own the lie and they can spin the lie the way they want to. They can make anyone look bad with their lies, and make themselves look like victims if they want to, when they are the ones doing the victimizing. There should be some kind of media standards for telling the truth, and when they are caught in these political spins, they should be suspended from broadcasting. Its a big lie that is eating us up. The Republicans need to get united, and start taking a stand for what is right for all the American people, and close all the pork barrell loopholes and even expose them, and get rid of all of them, even their own, to rid their backs of these monkeys that have climbed on board them. Let the dems carry these leeches around. We dont need them. Im a man, but I like the thought of Sarah Palin running, because she doesnt have skeletons in her closest, I mean they hunted her like no one else has ever been hunted. What did they find? Her daughter got pregnate, and she shoots wolves to keep their population under control. Wow, big frickin deal. She scares the hell out of them, and you know it, I know it, and God knows it. She is attractive, a strong woman, a family woman, a mother, a Christian and a sucessful Governor of her State, which is more than any dem out there can say. They try and try to attack her, because they fear her so much they tremble. Come on, look at the facts. Have you ever seen a vice presidential candidate warrant 200 reporters being hired by the other party to fly to her home state to try to dig up dirt on her? Its unheard of. Have you ever seen such mass media attacks on a vice presidential candidate? No, never. She makes them tremble, because they cant compete. They tried at the end to report that adding her to the ticket sank McCain, but no, not even. He didnt add her soon enough was the problem. Nobody wanted to elected a guy that is half way into the grave to be commander in chief. His age lost it for him, thats it. Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney need to join together, or Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal, and get this country back from the tax monsters, so that business can start growing and hiring people again, instead of laying them off to pay Barrack and the dems the large tax burdens being put on them. This is the source of the economic woes, no ifs ands or butts about it. It was rolling good until the last year of Bush, when the business in this country started fearing that the dem tax monsters might get elected, and they knew they would need the revenue to pay this bill, and their fears were confirmed. The tax monsters come in, they get rid of the tax cuts, they up taxes, now people by the thousands are getting laid off, because revenue is needed to pay the tax monster dems. Fact, check it out. Banks failed because of the Dems, Bill Clinton’s set up of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, letting Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelick make 10 million bucks each and up, and letting Barney Frank oversee it, while they sucked the money right out of it. All dems. And while you americans slept through this, the undeducated people in this country pulled the Obama lever. Now look where we are at, and will be for 4 years. Oh shame.

        All I can say is, Watch Out For What You Wish For Democrats. Are you happy now.

        As for Barak and his unions, if he tries to make every small shop unionized we will out source all of our work in a heart beat and will effect hundreds of jobs.

      • Little Blue

        No one in our family voted for The Terrible one. We knew something terrible would happen and sho’nuff….I also like Sarah Palin and was appalled at the idiots who tried like crazy to get some DIRT on her. I hope she runs for President next time! All the time and money the libs spent on trying to get something dirty on her should have been looking into their own house first. If every Christian in America would vote, we would have a government who believes as we do. In God We Trust!

      • Dennis Deckard

        We lost the last election because we were outwitted. Big Oil put Bush in place the first time. They took Big Oil out by demonizing them for the high crude, gasoline, etc. prices, which wasn’t their fault directly. I would suggest instead that it was a Liberal plot to buy oil commodity futures to create artificial demand and drive fuel prices up. The drum-beat by the MSM for nearly two years before the election, saying, “Big Oil is to blame”, and “George Bush is Big Oil”, and “McCain is George Bush”.

        And the mantra that said, “We are fighting an illegal war in Iraq”, and “No blood for Oil”, etc. The anti-war crowd had their day, too.

        All of this, and more, effectively torqued the public, enough so that Obama was victor on election day.

        To win next time, we must identify the enemy and execute the plan to eliminate that enemy. It must not be a negotiation, but a decisive defeat.

  • http://www.politicalchristian.org Larry Miller

    There is a lot of sniping going on in the GOP. Too much of it is personal and acts as a smokescreen for the real issues at hand. Those in the mushy middle blame the most recent national loss on an uninspired base the did not totally support their man. Those in the uninspired base reply that other than national security, the candidate had little in common with their values.

    Overlay these factional issues with personal ambitions and agendas that are the plague of all such organizations, it is easy to see that these disputes spill over into attacks on the symbol of the other view point… particularly when it appears that support for the opposition is increasing.

    This is most likely because the Republican Party has lost its way and lost its focus on the smaller, less intrusive government model. By allowing the big government mindset to creep in to its thinking, the party has set the stage for a battle for its very soul.

  • http://msn.com-hotmail steven artus

    there has been a lot of talk about torture lately and especially about water boarding , well, guess what i’m all for it. know why? well, look at history. hey, how about crusifiction? thats a good one. for hundreds of years, that was a very common practice. just take someone and nail them to a cross, whats the problem? so, you did it while they were alive and awake, it only took three long nails one for each arm and one for the feet. ok, so it hurt, and the person lived for a few days, so what. the point is ,it was effective. not very many volunteers. the romans were also very good with their imagination. i’m sorry, but i cant remember who the individual was and i should because, being a catholic it is part of my relegion, but as i recall, this person was nabout to be crucified, and he said that he could not be crucified,”like my lord”, so the romans accomidated him and crucified him, UPSIDE DOWN. how is that for inovation.

    well, eventually they began to expand and come up with new and different ways to pass their time, like chaining people to pole and turning them into crispy critters. that was a lot of fun. it caused some problems with finding enough fire wood, but they managed to work things out fairly well. then of course, there was the rack which added a new twist, and the “cage”. the cage was very effective, because the person who went in the cage could only stand, and then the cage was raised for all to see. the person inside was given no food or water, eventually they collapsed and they were then, in their weakened condition and unable to defend themselves, were attacked and eaten by crows. yeah, thats right, crows. crows are scavengers. when nothing remained but the skeleton they were removed

    i read about the crusades and the knights templer who for some reason many of them were french. well, it seems some king or other i cant remember his name, but it will come to me, well he heard that they, the knights templer were filthy rich and had lots and lots of money, and he wanted it. well, because they and the king didn’t get along too well, the king decided to make a deal. bad news for the knights. sniff and you can smell the the lies.; well, the king said that if they came in and talked about it, no harm would come to them. most of them took their money and ran, but one trusting foool came in and was immediately thrown into a dungeon, then came the good part.. they began to torture him. theres that torture word again. you must also remember that the knights templer were priests, abbots, and other relegious people. anyway, they threw it all at him, but got nowhere. they used the rack branding with red hot irons, put his fingers in pinchers and crushed themtore out his fingernails, plucked out his eyes, but nothing worked. he merely prayed to God that his torment would soon end, but it never did. finally, they offered him one last chance, and he being a man of God and a knights templer said,”F*K YOU” or words to that effect, so they chained him to what can only be called a giant spit, lowered his body to within a certain number of inches glowing above red hot coals, and as his body rotated above the coals and he became bbq, he defiantly cursed them until he mercefully died.

    well, i dont know about all you goody two shoers out there, but since i read a lot of history, i hope i made your day and i hope i made you throw up. but i did want everyone to know that what we, the americans od compared to the islamoterrorists do is childs play. and speaking of islamoterrorists, i forgot something. i remember reading about a marine colenel, who was stationed in bearut and was kidnapped by the local neighborhood islamoterrorists and was tortured.theres that word again. well, when our people found what was left of him, theh found during the autopsey that these “relegion of peace” people had used an electric drill to drill into his kneecaps.
    hows that for a relegion of peace? i’ll just bet that grabs you right here. know what i think of our country using torture? i say ,”GO FOR IT”. and maybe those people who do the torturing are like me and read history.

        I couldn’t have said it better.

So tell miss Nancy to shut up!!! With her LIES. God Bless our country love it or leave it that includes Nancy’ and the others let them sample the water boarding to see if its bad or not.

      It was Paul who was crucified upside down, as he didnt feel worth to be crucfied as Jesus was. Good history lesson, and good points. I am a Christian, and Ill tell you what. I see these guys on videos cutting off peoples heads, cursing us to hell and vowing death to us all. So when we capture them, I say pull their stinking fingernails out, wrap them with pigskins, make them eat pork, whatever it takes to get information out of them about their next target, or whatever it takes to save our guys lives. Paul said to reach the Romans, you have to become as a Roman. To these guys, they dont understand or respect diplomacy, or being fair and nice. They abhor it, and laugh at us when we bring this up. Take note of this you appeasing pacifist democrats. THEY LAUGH AT IT. Im sorry, I dont like war, I dont like violence, but hey, reality check, were in a war with these cats, and you know, all is fair in love and war. The politics and newsmakers need to get the hell out of our militarys way, and let them do their job. Our pacifist appeasing anti-american left wing liberals shouldnt even be allowed to know whats going on, that way their little girlie man feelings wont get hurt and they wont have to pee their pants like they continually do. I hate it when lefty gets his panties all twisted up. The little twits cant see straight the way it is.

        That is correct, I was thinking Paul for some reason. I stand corrected.

      • Dave

        The death of St. Peter is attested to by Tertullian at the end of the second century, and by Origen in Eusebius, Church History II.1. Origen says: “Peter was crucified at Rome with his head downwards, as he himself had desired to suffer”.[17] According to the noncanonical Acts of Peter, he was crucified upside down.

    • Denis

      Here is some history for you to read. Go to your local Library. Borrow a book called “AMERICA ALONE. The End of the World As We Know It. Author is Mark Steyn. Torture will only be effective in the short term in obtaining information. The Islamists have other plans. It’s based on demographics, the statistics of births deaths etc. The advanced societies of the world are not reproducing at a rate to maintain population which is 2.1 children per family while Muslim families are reproducing at the rate of approximately 4.5 children per family. The English countries of the world average birth rate is about 1.75 children per family while the non English countries are reproducing at the rate of about 1.35 children per family. Given these statistics the muslims will conquer the world in a hundred years just by out breeding everyone. Then the real torurewill begin.

      • Little Blue

        I don’t like war either, but I too am sick of Liberal’s trying to put their feelings about torture etc. into what the military is allowed to do! Feelings have no place with these TERRORISTS. They hate us. Period. They have one feeling toward us HATRED! That’s all they think about, how they are going to take over and kill us all! And the libs who think these nonhumans can be made over into a democracy are not even considering that they will say and do whatever it takes to get us out of there so they can go about torturing and killing anyone who doesn’t think like them!
        I used to be against the death penalty, but for these guys I don’t think they should have any rights as humans because they don’t care about any one and murder rape and torture is what they know. I distrust Obama, partly because he doesn’t get it and because because he may be a nice guy he is a fool if he thinks he can get an honest response from the Islamics. I think they should all be deported because we have no way of knowing who they are and where they will strike next.

      • Denis

        Your answer is too simplistic. If killing people (Muslims) faster is the answer then we are barbarians. Appeasement is not the answer either. Other solutions are needed. Stopping immigration from some countries, introducing free birth control pills in third world countries, massive education programs where education is based on the three R’s and not the Quran as it is in the madrasses schools, introducing incentives for more babies per family in the western world (see Quebec Canada), and the concept of multi culturalism that is allowable in so many western countries be abolished because it creates a tribal mentality where people end up in language or religious ghettos. If a solution is not found then your stick should be very big,

    • http://commonsenseforva.blogspot.com Bigvinu

      You guys are joking right? You can do whatever you want with them after you have them convicted in a court of law. You can say “they deserve it” because they’re “terrorists” and “enemy combatants” unless you have a court ruling saying that they are enemy combatants and terrorists.

      You guys say they would do it too. There’s a reason we’re against them and on freedom’s side. It’s not our way to stoop to their way. What if we decided to kill all captured Nazis by way of Gas Chambers in the aftermath of WWII?

      We have to protect and defend the very principal of freedom, not just the hollow shame of it.
