and what precinct do you live in?

How many slots does your precinct have for precinct committeemen?

How many are filled?

How many of the filled slots are filled by conservative Republicans?

Of the filled precinct committeeman slots in your voting precinct, how many are filled by conservative Republicans?

What percentage of the registered Republicans in your precinct actually voted in the last two primary and general elections?

Thank you.

Ever since GWH Bush took over from Ronald Regan the party of Regan has been dying and turning more and more to the left. After Bush’s defeat to Clinton the Party hasn’t put up a winner since. GW bush won by accident. Every candidate promoted by the Republicans has been what some called RINO’s but we now know their true colors they are Liberal Republicans. Their agenda isn’t that much different than the Democrats just a softer version of the same Progressive liberal BS. Bob Dole was the begining of the leftist movement. Then came GW Bush who narrowly won. If anyone but Al Gore had been runing onthe Democrats side Bush would have lost. Then we come up with John t(the poor POW) McCain. Another left-wing rpeublican and with that we had karl Rove and Michael Steele telling the Tea Party and the conservatives to go to hell even though it is the Right -wingof the Party that put them in office. Tey have been very quite about it until now. They have let the perception that people have had for many years that a vote for a Republican was a vote for the Right but in reality it is a vote for the Soft-Left. It’s like the difference between types of Porno movies. you have X-Rated which would be the left-wing Republicans and you have XXX-Rated which is the Progressive Liberal Democrats. The thing is you don’t want your children watching ether of these.

The conservatives have to wake up. I have been a conservative Republican all my life and I am 64. I am but one person and for many years my Republican friends laughed at me. Now with the Nominee emanate of Romney a left-Wing Republican they aren’t laughing so much anymore. This move by Boehner is not surprising. he has fought the Teap Party congressmen from day one. The very people that put them in power. They now think that they have it sowed up and that they can defeat Obama with a left-wing-Republican. The conservatives were attacked and removed early on and now the party is livid that Santorum is in their way. They have pretty much removed Gingrich and all the other challengers. The problem is that the people are begining to wake-up to Romney and understand that he is left-wing and that our major concern is Obamacare and Romney will not under any circumstances repeal that law. he just wants to modify it.

John Boehner, McCain, McConnell, Karl Rove, The Once RNC chairman Michael Steele, and many others inthe Republican Party are trying to kick the conservatives while we are down and are being brazen enough now to do it opening. A true conservative Republican would never go intothe enemies camp and strike this kid of a deal. The Liberal Democrats are snakes inthe grass and will bite the Republicans even as the deal is being stuck.

consrvatives have to realize tht the current Republican Party is not the Party of our fathers or likein my case of my age group. we were Reagan Conservatives. What so many people don’t realize is tht George Bush hated Reagan and couldn’t wait for him to be out of offce so he could start on the left-wing Republican agenda. The party the GOP was livid in 1980 whenthe people the conservatives chose Reagan over Bushwhowas their chosen one. They swore it wouldn’t happen again that a conservative would be the nominee of theRepubican Party. here we are now in the most important election of our 200+ years and we are standing in the middle of the river on slippery stones and our only voice is Santorum and the Party is attacking him full force. If Santorum is defeated and Romney or Obama win the Gerenal election not only do we conseravtives lose but the world loses the most powerful and prosperous country in the world

As usual…the Republican Party was after me for money and I was not having a good hair day. I mean…after reading Drudge that morning, finding out more about Obama, having listened to Mark Levin…this was not the time to get a call.

I have been very upset with the Congress because they have failed to steer this conversation about contraception back to the First Amendment…where it should be. After reading that Rush has not lost 42 advertisers (probably threatened Chicago Style)…I was not in the mood to give them money. I asked them if they truly knew how very, very angry we are in this country. How our Constitution is being trampled. I asked them if, in fact, they had a gun to their heads because they were all but forcing people into a third party consideration because they would not live up to the oath they swore to…The Constitution.

I’m done giving money…for what? For someone or some party that refuses to look after our best interests? BTW…today’s news…after Panetta testified in front of Congress…We need UN approval to go into Syria. Don’t get me wrong…I don’t think we should…but the UN approval…and how much you want to bet a nickel that this is written into law…in either the Stimulus bill or Obamacare?

I’m not trying to threadjack here…I’m just saying that Congress is losing on all fronts. What’s going on?

This is why I am not sold on the idea of “forget the Presidency – concentrate on the House and Senate.” If there is no change in the so-called leadership, what good will winning those majorities do us? McConnell has got to be the WORST Senate Minority “leader” EVER!!! He is the Democrats best friend and Conservatives worst nightmare. Boehner? What a hypocritical, lying, backstabbing jerk! I think it is seriously time for all Conservatives to get out of the Republican party. They have totally abandonned conservatives, conservative values, and won’t stand up in the face of the President’s OBVIOUS extra-Constitutional behavior. Why would I vote for another Republican again? My last vote for anyone with an R behind their name will be in November. I hope it gets Obama out of office, but frankly, with this kind of limp-wristed, milquetoast, power hungry, ineffectual, turncoat, so-called leadership, I see no difference between the Republican “elite” and the socialist Democrats. I’m through after November. If there is a Conservative Party created on February 1, 2013, I’ll be there. Otherwise, I’m as finished as our country will be, regardless of who is elected. What a sublime opportunity we had! Completely bungled. I am now working on the story I will tell my Grandchildren about what life was like when we were free.

Instead of throwing an election (of course it’s not that if you are not Republican), let’s continue to get conservatives elected and give that segment a bigger voice. dlc

I agree with paco, we need to get a fighter into Washington who understands completely what is at risk now. We are losing America day be day and our RINO Leadership is helping to strangle the life out of us. I cannot imagine why they would be so blind when things are so obvious unless the God they all want to ignor has placed his hooks in their jaws and is leading them to the trough of destruction. One day soon we will all wake up to a subversive communistic society where everything is totally controlled by Uncle Stalin Obama and we will have no strength left as a party or society to do anything. I think the Newt concept is the only choice we have. Santorum is also very tempting but I do not see the fight in him backed by a strong knowledge of how to get things done. Maybe they need to form a pact and let one lead and the other assume the VP role. Newt has enough time for one good term and then the younger Rick Santorum takes the reigns and has a Rubio as his VP to keep the ball rolling through the next 16 years to really get a handle on the problem and fix it. We still need the knowledge of Ron Paul to help lead the way into getting rid of the federal reserve. We also need a Palin type to lead the charge on the energy sector to get it fixed. The conservatives need to get together and lay out a winning strategy and then work the plan as a united team instead of as a bunch of hopefuls. We have the team members. We just need to get them to realize their spot in the team roster and play their part to the best of their ability as our Forefathers did back in the 1700s. If they don’t then the only cry I see left for us is “Even so come LORD JESUS.”

Its worse than feeding the animals at the park, liberals will bite you, eat you and never say thank you. Even worse, they poop where they sleep and expect Americans to clean up behind them and pay their bills. Nuff said.

Newt will shake Nuts out of both Party Trees! Both Parties know that and the Republican Establishment nipped Newt’s political run in the bud when he first began to surge. They want Romney. He will be great for the Economy and the Republicans because he will leave their Nut tree alone.
Newt speaks to more problems than just the economy and jobs. Yes, they are first and foremost now but , like Newt said, if we don’t do something about the radical Federal Judges it won’t matter who is President. They MAKE law, and give the Left everything they want. That must stop. We’re losing our Rule of Law and when it’s gone, we lose America. We need a candidate that speaks to ALL the problems and there are a multitude of them. Career politicians must go and sooner rather than later. We need people serving America, not Party.

Wanted to really earn their paychecks, then they would dump Boehner and elect someone else as Chair.

Right now, they are just being used as cannon fodder for his battle of stupidity…

& his supporters in the primaries are incredulous at Conservative animosity towards them. Can we find a more cogent example of RINO duplicity than this bill and its attendant negotiations?

Where the Demoncrats have almost dictatorial party discipline, the Republicans continue on with their uncanny ability to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. These internal civil wars are almost suicidal in light of what is probably the most important election in our history. It is most definitely time for new party LEADERSHIP.

“Why is it I get Red State’s updates so late”.

By: jlsankot

jlsankot — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 11:27:53 +0000

Why is it I don’t get Red State’s updates so late. This was posted at 10:45 AM on Wed. and I didn’t receive it until 3:46 AM on Thurs. I have recently cleaned out everything I can so it can’t be that things are clogged up on my end, I don’t think. If anyone can help me out here, I’d appreciate it.

This is especially disturbing as it disables me from calling the proper people, in this case Boehner, to tell him what I think before a vote is called.

Will he cry again when he loses it. What does Congress have to show under his leadership except black eyes?

Just say No to any highway bill other than a devolution one, or one that sticks solely to fuel taxes for revenue.

I am at the point where driving past new sidewalks and highway “beautification” plantings makes me resentful. These things are becoming a symbol of how out of touch Washington is.

Do sane people who are underwater on their mortgages launch expensive landscaping projects of their yards? Do they do so on credit, or spend their kid’s future — say, the kid’s college fund — for said expensive landscaping projects? No.

Only in Washington.

Only in Washington is all this stuff considered vital, and only by people who are spending other people’s money. And don’t bother calling it “job creation” unless you want the name “Keynesian” and the word “stimulus” hung around your neck.

Just say No.
