is widening, and I’m happy that it seems to be coming to a head. With the Scozzafava race, in addition to the Fiorina race, the endorsement of Crist in Fla. over a conservative, is all ratcheting up the rhetoric, and, it’s mostly against the establishment Republicans who have marched the R party into the wildnerness. If Hoffman wins the NY race, and I do pray he does, as a Conservative party candidate, there may be a tendancy among many to vote for future Conservative party candidates. In races where we are to choose between Democrat and Democrat Lite, I think more candidates will run on the Conservative party label. I’m thinking about Kirk in IL, who I believe already has been backed by McCain. What’s to stop a conservative from challenging him and a Democrat when the Conservative will get the funding and backing of those like Thompson, Palin, Armey, the Club for Growth and etc. who have had louder and more widely heard voices than the McCain’s & Graham’s etc. This is a trend I can really see happening. Neil, I am not advocating or supporting any third parties, it is just something that is a real possibility, if the current so-called R leadership doesn’t leave the dock, and get to the airport where the conservatives are landing.

and tell me if this is out of line. But could cancer be affecting her brain? I’ve seen her in person at trade shows (don’t ask) and she was outstanding. She has lost it.

… is a Socialist…

I’m not even going to gratify the term “Moderate” either, you are either for the Constitution as it is written, or you’re a socialist… not liberal… Socialist…

Anyone who calls for the muzzling of ANY speech that they don’t agree with is not only a Socialist, but a Fascist.

Carly and John McCain are just two peas in the Progressive Pod.

Took HP from our preferred source to a second-rate also-ran, and now she wants to work that same special magic on the Constitution.

I doubt it was coincidental that my company went from being an all-HP user to a let’s-try-anything-but-HP operation during her reign as Empress.

Sorry, but if you’ve got evidence that Fiorina isn’t good on the First Amendment, this isn’t it. What is she talking about? For all I know she’s talking about taxing sales on the internet, or the international assignment of web addresses, or “net neutrality,” or basic right-of-way regulation for companies that lay the lines the internet runs over. But those are all separate issues from regulating the content/speech of what runs over the web.

Fiorina may be hostile to the First Amendment, and if she is I’ll be quite happy to criticize her. But whatever she’s talking about in the clips provided doesn’t give any indication that she’s talking about censoring speech online or ignoring the First Amendment.

I’d like to know what planet she’s from…

Every two years, the argument is made that it is better to elect a moderate Republican than to concede the race to the Democrat.

Not me. Not any more. I think we may have already lost the country I grew up in, and it has the near term potential to become intolerable. I don’t think we have a prayer of rescuing it now absent strictly conservative people coming to power. Elect moderate Republicans now, and you might as well sign the country off as a complete loss. There’s no more time for government as usual, or even party politics as usual.

The essence of the Tea party movement is that you vote for the most conservative, small government candidate, regardless of party. I’ve come to believe in that.

There IS a tipping point, beyond which the only possible way of saving the country would be through armed revolution. The idea of that scares me to death, but I hear it being openly discussed among strangers in line at WalMart or outside the local hardware store with increasing frequency.

I don’t know where that tipping point is, but I am 100% confident that electing moderate Republicans will just keep us moving toward it.

“Looks like the NRCC may have strong-armed the Scozzafava selection. So much for State’s rights and “local” action. You decide”

“Dugan and many of the local Republican County Committeemen and rank and file were not happy with the tainted process by which the National Republican Congressional Committee forced the liberal Scozzafava upon this largely conservative district, as was first documented by The TCOT Report. Yesterday, the TCOT Report story on the tainted nomination process of Scozzafava was confirmed in its entirety in a blog post by Dan Riehl.

Unfortunately, the fingers that matter appear to point back to Washington and the NRCC. No wonder we are now reading reports of the NRCC going all in for Dede in NY – 23. Someone needs to cover their behind in something that is said to have not won many friends even including within the RNC itself. That’s likely the reason why they were so slow to give to Scozzafava in NY – 23 until well after the NRCC. In short, they were ticked-off as it appears the NRCC rigged it and blew it from start to finish. But GOP first and uber alles in DC at the end of the day.”
