We should ONLY vote for non-Statist Constitutionalists! I refuse to put Party over principle. When the GOP runs non-Statist Constitutionalists, I will be sure to vote for them. When the GOP runs Statist Neo-Cons, I will NOT!

I was once a Democrat, then a Republican, & now an Independant. WHY?? Because even though I agree with the Republicans more often then that other party, I finally realized, that MOST people in politics are Powermad,Money Hungry,Liars & outright Crooks. Thanks to the Tea Party, many eyes have been opened, & just mabey we will get rid of some of these jerks. Don’t bet on it though,with the Old Liners being pi**ed over losing, & the Democrats, the Media, Acorn, the Black Panthers, & the Majority of Blacks, along with the Illegals wanting Amnesty, they are going to pull out ALL Stops to keep control of both the Senate & the House.

Unfortunately the tea party is so extreme right that they scare moderates. Once November 2nd comes around the Republican party is going to have a giant wake up call. Extremest rarely make it to office and actually interfere with the big picture. Although the tea party appears to have made strides in the Republican party, in a general election they will find their supporters a minority. Even Boehner realizes that questioning Obama’s legitimacy, Roe v Wade, Automatic weapons, Abortion etc. are third rail subjects that moderate America has little time for. November will bring in politicians that center on a plan for our economy not extremest philosophy.

It’s going to take big bucks to get Republican names out there and get some decent reps in place. Too bad, but that’s how it works. The richest gets elected because of the exposure. Here is how it goes in my little town: The Republicans sit on their azzez and do little to get anyone as a decent candidate while the Democrats work their azzez off to establish lots of ads and what they feel are good candidates. Republicans sat it out the last round and we got Obama. Almost Clinton. Fred Thompson who seemed to make a lot of sense had to drop out early due to lack of funds as well as other Rep. candidates. That left you know who and his running mate, Palin, who no one had ever heard of before; she was drug into the arena and they made a fool out of her. She spoke what she was told to say and she should never have done that. She had balls and lots of it so she could have stomped on some of the Dems and didn’t. My pick was not considered. Maybe she didn’t want the job. Ms. Rice could have gone head to head with any of the liberal s—heads and won. That lady has pizazz and I like her political prowess. Anyway, Republicans had better bolster more real self-confidence and don’t rely on just “anyone” as long as they are Republican. That’s not going to fly. The dems have money and lots of it. Obama will arrange that like he always does. If you vote Republican this November, be prepared to donate whatever you can because it will take ads and lots of visits by the Republicans. Put your money where your mouth is and lots of it or accept new liberal screwballs or the same liberal screwballs. Obama is setting the Socialism stage and we want to tear it down. November 2nd, Note on your frig: TAKE OUT THE TRASH. After you Vote, Keep your note there for the next November 2nd.

The democats are always going to go with the socialist ideas. The wimp reps. keep thinking the best way is to not be hard assed with dems who are airy fairys. Just get along and compromise. Alan Specter was a peice of democrat crap and will always be. Same goes for Lisay Gramisty, and the two bimbos that go wobbly and join in with the dems. The democrats have always been socialists and will never be independent of the communist leanings. I see another life long communist democrat is going to honored, someone who even balked at the idea of giving in to the union card check, but communist demcrats will always bend over and postitute themselves and kiss and make up. When the dems post here and act like they are republicans, when they knock the TEA Party, they are frauds. Go Tea Party folks and lets gett down to the nut cutting, and rid the party of queers and sell the steer back to the dem party where these scum belong. Usually if you are raising livestock ,you have to cull the worthless poor gainers or space takers on the range, and keep only the top ones that are meeting the standrads. Same goes for the worthless rinos that don’t meet the conservative standrads, Tea Party is an easy way to cull the phony spook phantom conservatives. Next line is to cull the rejects that are anti USA crowed and agencies of rejects back to no power spots.

I am a lifelong Republican , dissatisfied with business as usual , for the party the right thing to do is to always support real conservatives over moderates , rhino’s , and progressives . If they have to betray the American principles to win we have all lost , and the party continues to be less than useless . What they have to do is educate the public on the duplicity and deceit of the democratic party , it is not the party it used to be .

the national gop turned its back on ron paul who was the only rep candidate that had a snowball’s chance in hell of beating nobama. the texas gop turned its back on debra medina who was the tea party favorite for texas governor. they both keep asking me for donations. NO WAY!! i donate to the candidates since i can’t trust the gop to do the right thing and support all rep candidates equally. they don’t get to choose the person for whom i vote and neither does the liberal media. had reps been acting like reps are supposed to act all along, we wouldn’t have this moron for our potus now.

Here’s another interesting observation on this year’s primaries – the anti-incumbent mood. On CNSnews (9/15/2010) we read “DC Voters Oust Mayor during Democratic Primary”. Presumably DC doesn’t have term limits?? A good point to consider – why do we need term limits?? As we are seeing in this year, many incumbents are being defeated in primaries, without term limits!! Unlike most other conservatives, I’m no fan of term limits. Not only for the abovementioned reasons, but I don’t see term limits as a cure for the problems we face, locally or nationwide. That’s because in deep blue areas, we know liberal Democraps will only be replaced with liberal democraps. The cure for our ills is to defeat today’s leftwing Democrap Party on all levels of government. And speaking of mayors, I vote GOP 99% of the time as the lesser of 2 evils. But our mayor, Mike Bloomjerk (who ignored NYC’s term limits by running for a 3rd term) is an exception to my rule against 3rd parties. Last November, I voted for a 3rd party – a Conservative party mayoral candidate. I knew he had no chance of winning here, but I wanted to send a message, and voice my opinion. I didn’t want to vote for Bloomjerk, nor his democrap opponent (who BTW was endorsed by BHO!!) Although not the type of conservative we really need, Rudy Giuliani was the best NYC mayor of my lifetime. We lost him after 2001 because of term limits. That’s a pity, as Rudy was a far better mayor than Mike Bloomturd!!!!!

We here in Alaska are frequently criticized for what is percieved to be a disproportionate amount of federal money we’ve recieved over the years and the “bridges to nowhere” syndrome. The former long time Senator Stevens’ rebuttal to that was always that we’re a young State with little infrastructure and its our turn. A valid argument but academic now. We recently dumped one of our RINO’s, Senator Merkowski with 8 years into her seniority and having the power to “bring home the bacon” in favor of a Tea Party kind of conservative. We’re participating in a quiet revolution, which suggests the federal government is out of control spending borrowed money and needs to be reigned in. In 4 years we need to dump our one sleezy opportunistic liberal Democrat who was formally the mayor of Anchorage and left us in a budget bind knowingly with a deal made with the fire and police departments to pay them back for supporting his run for mayor all the while knowing we had budget problems. He took Stevens’ office when he was being investigated and was eventually cleared, the swine. We only have one congressman and two senators so we’re going to suffer some.

Amen, that is to what texastwin827 says.

Folks, what is pi**ing the GOP off is we are choosing people WE want, not their handpicked lackies. Same as the Dems do….they decide who they want to win, then pour $$’s into their campaign to make it happen.

That method is backfiring on them and they are beside themselves trying to figure out how to stop the voter backlash. They don’t realize that the taxpayers are fed up with BOTH parties…we are picking they non career politicians whose views are closer to mainstream American’s.

If they fail to recognize & accept that, they will be out, like many Dems, in Nov. We are done with the Professional Politicians of both parties!

Republicans are being thrown out but by Tea Party/Independents who want more conservative policies. That makes the Tea Party very relevant. When election time comes in Nov. these Tea Party folks will mostly vote Republican but of a more right agenda. In the long run it may be the Tea Partiers who save the Republican Party. Then again this “new” Republican Party may end up being too extreme from the pressure from the Tea Party. Extremism’s from any party may keep Independents scratching their heads and continue to be lost in the political wilderness.

Perhaps O’Donnel is what Washington needs some new brainpower and hers is like brand new hardly ever used.

The Republican establishment seems to think the best tactic is to put up liberals to combat liberals. These “Socialism, but a little slower please” RINOs should be kicked out of office along with the Demoncrats.

People, it shouldn’t be too hard to understand the mentality behind a group that uses key ‘selling points’ to do what it does. ‘Republicans’ think these concepts work best – 1) Who are we? 2) Why are we here? 3) What do we do when we get power and a chance to change things? 4) What does elected mean? 5) Can someone repeat the questions?
‘Republicans’ don’t have a clue. They’re like grooms who had sheltered lives before marriage. The time to ‘produce’ has come, and they have no idea what to do, how to do it or WHY. Is it any wonder why or how ‘Republicans’ give us so many LOSERS? Any group that gives us someone like McCain (who is anything BUT an ‘elite’) is a loser-by-choice. ‘Republicans’ almost make ‘Dems’, libs and progressives look like people who are worth knowing. Now, do you get finally it?

The truth is that America is a slightly right of center country.
The teabaggers and right wing extremists along with left wing socialists will never gain majority support. Thank God!
Obama, contrary to right wing BS, is center left politically.
People are rightfully angered by the lack of progress in the present Congress. But these are difficult times and problems caused by many, many years of bad policies (from both parties) can’t be cleared up in a few years.
The greed of the private sector “Lords” that sold US jobs to the lowest bidders to fatten their personal wallets and caused the present economic crisis, are at least as guilty as the government of sending the US down the path of mediocrity.
The middle class is becoming poorer, and the very rich are better off than they ever were, temporarily.
The nut cases, religious zealots, and extremists of all types are crawling out of the woodwork.
The rightwing Nazi movement in Germany was created by extremists and carried out by support from people who checked their brains and souls at the door. Teabaggers?

As an Independant, who is more conservative, then Liberal I am hoping most of the Tea Party Candidates win out over the main stream jerks the Republican party backs. Both the Republicans & the Democrat members of Congress are so damn crooked,they should be sent to the Pen. Now some of them don’t want to back Tea Party candidates who have beat out their lame old timers. And they wonder why the people in the USA are sick of them. For the next two elecyions, the voters need to weed put all of the incumbants.Probably never happen though, too many dumb ass voters.

Tension within the GOP is exactly what is needed. To continue to pander to RINO elitists like McCain, et. al., because they are already in, is to continue the problem the GOP has had that has found us in the political wilderness. We need more conservative politicians who believe the constitution is our guide and live on the principles of freedom. We cannot solve problems with the same level of thinking that created them.

Elite professional politicians like McCain, Isakson, Chambliss, Snowe, Collins, remaining within the ranks of the GOP are liabilities to restoring freedom to American’s. They stand as good metaphors for the Albatross around the neck or worse, throwing a sinking man anchor. Go get ‘em!

What’s the conflict? Do what the citizens want done, you can’t be blind or deaf. The U.S. is tired of all the political [offensive term removed] from both side of the aisle. Congress makes all the conflict because you all have your own agendas that are differnent than the people’s The corruption in the government needs to go also. Get rid of your egocertic attitudes, your distain for the America people and do what you were meant to do, represent the people!!! If not, prepare to be dismissed from office.

I have beed an independent for years, and it is because of O’Donnells hardline anti-establishment and socially conservative message that I support her. In Nevada, they said that Sharron Angle could not beat Whore House Harry Reed. but even as we speak she is ahead in the polls. actually quite an accomplishing considering the lieing Democratic smear machine and Whore House Harry’s name recognition.

What the folks in the GOP leadership don’t understand is that the average person who barely follows politics can’t tell the difference between Democrats and RINOs (Republican In Name Only). When you add the influence of the MSM and the unions the Republicans lose every time.

One thing is certain: I appreciate the influence of the tea parties in supporting conservative candidates. Most people are conservative in their principles and solid conservatives will get their support regardless of what the MSM is trying to tell voters what to think. If we are ever to take our country back from socialism and corruption, electing RINOs and liberal Democrats would be throwing gasoline on a fire.

This has nothing to do with any party, such as Dem’s or Rep’s, its about “Americans” who are fed up with the worthless turds in both houses.

When the American people say “enough is enough” thats when these Rino’s and Marxist Progressives are all going to find a new home in a 6′ x 10′ cell with a bar window view.

We are not done yet, we have years of work ahead of us and I might add that we are in a “Depression” and its going get really bad before it gets better, so be ready for a LONG HARD ROAD for the next few years.

And when we are done we can still never ever take our eye’s off the politicians ever again. As for the press / media there are many new homes for them to fill too.

Lets do this all by the book, so its 100% legal. Then its time for Repealing laws that impinge your freedoms from A – Z. The authors of these laws will be finding new homes too.

The fact that conservatives are WINNING in the primaries should show you that they are viable winner’s. Oh, but what about the moderates, they say. To me moderate is just a nice term for wishy washy. If you are confident in your self and your stand on the issues they will listen. Back your winners and don’t interfere with a winning strategy because of some perceived fallacy about needing moderates. The Republicans have a chance to really do something if they can only see what most of us already have.

PLND, odds are that the RNC and ‘Republicans’ will be as useful in unloading Herr Obummer and his useful idiots as they have been in giving America real conservatives for the last 150 years. It’s time for the RNC and ‘Republicans’ to wake up do the right thing or fade away and disappear.
Until or unless the RNC and ‘Republicans’ get rid of RINOS and other assorted internal scum, they might as well be looked at as wannabe progressives.
