I do see what you’re saying though about the dime. Can we paint them red?

You get more with withholding some, but providing, perhaps only a $1 (Deli-story) as a protest donation insisting WE still intend to work STRONGLY and as forcefully as possible within the Party given any avenues possible.

The Deli-story provides the best example of how/why this would be the BETTER STRATEGY, imo….

I’m gobsmacked that we even have such a rule.

Fortunately, the effort has failed — thanks to the courageous vote of one woman (Sharon Day) who, while supporting Crist, is honest enough to state on the record “We have a process and it allows the voters to choose the candidate — and that’s called a primary.”

>I can kind of understand them getting behind Specter. Both he and Chaffee were incumbents.

It’s barely understandable that the NRSC supported them in the general election but they should never have supported them in the primaries. Now, of course, both are Democrats.

The NRSC not only betrayed Republican principles, they angered many of their base. Stupid. And now apparently, they are doing it again.

I believe it’s a first.

All the money in the world doesn’t necessarily buy you votes. Money does not guarantee electoral wins - we’ve seen that time and again, where the “rich” candidate goes down to ignominious defeat because they’re too tied up with Washington and lobbyists and the Congressional leadership.

If we can take a few of these incumbents down in primaries in 2010, the leadership will quickly change their tune and realize that they do, in fact, *need* us.

Them, OTOH, *we* DON’T need. It’s time we made that clear.

While Kemp would have helped him with minorities and helped Reagan fight the “hostile to minorities” smear that also cost him some moderate voters.

So Bush Sr. as VP was a mistake all the way.

Think of the idiots the leadership has shoved down our throats in Governor, Senator and Congressional races over the last 20 years.

That’s why we now have almost nobody worth a spit in Congress.

Just a bunch of puppets.

So why would we listen to what the liberals and the RINO’s are telling us to do? They are both saying the same thing, the republicans are dead unless they move to the center. When in the history of this country have liberals wanted anything from the conservative movement other than our utter failure. So what has changed? The answer is nothing.

If they thought that conservative thoughts would destroy the Republican Party, common sense would tell you that they should encourage us to keep talking, yet they are telling us to shut up. Why???

It is easy, they are threatened by conservative thoughts. Moderates do not scare them because they believe in the same thing. Republicans should support Conservatives not Liberals dressed as Conservatives. I would rather lose the battle fighting on the right side than win the battle by becoming what I am fighting against. The simple truth is that your moral foundation does matter, so don’t compromise it.

Just think how much different history would be without the Bush’s screwing up conservatism.

Hopefully, the base is finally waking up and will take down the leadership.

Frankly, I think it goes all the way back to when the Republican party made the big mistake of running Bush Sr. in 88 instead of Jack Kemp.

The party made a big wrong turn from which is has never righted itself.
