POLITICAL SUICIDE
Re: Philip Klein’s
Government Health Care Is a Double-Edged Sword:
Pelosi and the Democrats, as well as RINO Cao, have committed political suicide. They think that including the Stupak amendment provides cover.
They’ll see in 2010 and 2012 how delusional they were and are.
And how the tea parties and townhalls of the past few months, as
well as the 9-12 demonstration in D.C. and the others since, were
just prelude to the reclamation of America and its Constitution
from these liberals and leftists who masquerade as
Democrats.

IF IT AIN’T BROKE
Re: William Murchison’s Tex Mess:
Does Sen. Hutchinson feel Texas can’t do without her as Sen.
Specter of Pennsylvania feels that Pennsylvania just can’t do
without him? Judging from my position in KY, I have been most
impressed with Governor Perry, and surely the people of Texas
wouldn’t change this proven successful governor for an unknown
quality!
—Tommy G. Bailey
THE SECOND TIME AROUND
Re:
George Neumayr’s
One Step Forward, Two Races Back:
College students have a personal relationship with Obama? Well,
in 2012, most of these won’t be college students anymore; there
will be a new crop that he’ll have to dazzle and seduce to get
their votes. Maybe it won’t be as easy the second time
around.

Cape Coral, Florida
Corzine and all Dems like him will systematically be taken out of office!
We just replaced Mayor Luther of Parsippany with Barberio also….
Now let’s get rid of the LOUSE in the Whitehouse! and all his
scumbag admin too….

MISGUIDED AND NAIVE
Re: W. James Antle III.’s The
Angry Independent:
Republican wins in Virginia and New Jersey tell us one thing — eulogies of the GOP’s demise were premature. It is also clear that if Obama and Democrats are to be trounced in 2010 and 2012, it will be by solid Republicans and not third party insurgents or a rare and erratic liberal Republican. As conservatives should have learned with Ross Perot’s anti-Republican, quixotic and failed populist campaigns only Democrats benefit when the GOP brand is diminished.
The Hoffman defeat while frustrating, but not unexpected, is a wake-up-call to conservatives that it is time to drop the invectives against the GOP.
That includes GOP moderates or what some asininely and erroneously call RINOS. The silliness that Rockefeller or country Republicans are a major influence in the Party is either self-delusion or calculated mendaciousness. The Republican Party is the center-right Party and Democrats of all hues are statist or neo-fascist oligarchs like Barack Obama.

Nice letter from Majito, except for the nonsense about how it's nonsense to identify leftist "republicans" as RINO's.
What is Scuzzyfuzzy (Scazzafava), then? A principled GOPer?
So then is McCain REALLY a Reagan Republican, as he claims? Hmm . . .
Funny how some on our side (unless he's a Moby, but I don't think so) can see some things so clearly and then develop moral cataracts, just where they are most needed.
Still 75% right is better than 75% wrong.
Count me a "mendacious" conservative who both believes in RINO's, and is an enthusiastic hunter of same.

Oops, that was Michael Tomlinson, not Majito.
Mea maxima culpa! It still wasn't a bad letter, all in all.

Bout time the letter page came back. Once a week don’t cut it.
Good to see some familiar faces, like Martin and Amos, but where are Winthrop, Kessel and Gunn?
Keep the letter page regular.

Don't worry about Pelosi getting unelected in '12. Not going to happen. The people in her district are every bit as moonbatty as she is and will keep reelecting her forever.

Thanks to Michael Tomlinson.
It's the IN thing to do around here~~bash anyone who mentions they'd vote for a Republican over a Democrat. It's the most immature, asinine behavior I've seen in a long time, anywhere.
These same holier than thou ones who proclaim their higher principles, go on to complain at the government they get by either not voting at all because their too good, or voting for a Third loser Party.
The easy way in life is to complain and throw stones at others instead of realizing you ARE the government and it it's your responsibility to vote for the best candidate.
I'll continue to preach it~~ Want Obama II? Then vote for that Third Party or better yet, don't vote at all!
p.s. to Michael if you're reading this~ a couple of weeks ago one of these "principled" people used my name to post several despicable posts to you. Wasn't me. I'm in agreement with you.
Onward!
Mr.Reality| 11.10.09 @ 12:51PM
Republicans need all the troops they can muster. Those independents who voted for the GOP last week are still Rino. Wanna scratch their votes and lose ? Start showing pragmatic, agnostic thinking voters some respect you right wing dolts or we'll see to it Pelosi passes the fairness doctrine and your Rushbo gets to play a lot of golf in the afternoon. And start sending money to more moderate candidates in head to heads against the dems. I sent Bachman and others to the right of me a check last time out. pack of freeloaders is what you are.

The American political system has changed, perhaps permanently, from at least an attempt to benefit all Americans, to a spoils-to-the-victor system, like those in Latin America. An oscillating kleptocracy.
While it lasted, America was good for the common Joe and Jane. Now it keeps them down, to allow the rich to feel the exhilaration of ruling hoi polloi.
Could a second American Revolution be far away?

Only hope, outside of material progress, is spirituality. Politics is so loaded today with gobbledygook, it is unbearable. I only go to AS nowadays for politics.
