The GOP house/senate leadership and the RNC need to align themselves with those that voted twice against the bailout

“Nuf said!

Eric Cantor is from a neighboring district. He comes off as a boy scout in rhetoric and appearance, but I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him.

A couple days ago, a MM poster reminded readers of two distinct anti-conservative stances Steele has taken, so he loses my vote, too.

I also didn’t buy John Boehner’s tearful “God help us,” when he voted for the bailout.

What about DeLay? He’s not doing anything else, and seems like a man who could get things done.

I’d also get true conservative recommendations from folks like Duncan Hunter, Mike Pence, Jim DeMint — as well as MM and Ann Coulter. These folks have had their eyes trained on our RNC debacles like no one else.

They should also vote together within the party. Let them pick their own internal leaders, and they can all vote together when it comes time to select the party leadership. If everyone else is as fragmented as I hear, then that could get the Conservatives a better representation in the GOP.

The Repubs are going NO WHERE if they don’t open upto diversity and go back to basics. If they choose to ignore the base we, the people, WILL START ANOTHER CONSERVATIVE PARTY and leave these yokels in the dust!!

If we want a conservative look to the Constitution Party. The true conservative running last time – Ron Paul – stated he was voting for Chuck Baldwin. I know that those of you who are rabid anti-God will start screaming “Church and State” separation. The CP does not endorse any religion but does endorse Christian “principles” which is what the founding fathers emphasized throughout the process of establishing this country.

I know many will echo the “Can’t win” platitude but how does anyone win with “conservatives” like Bush and McCain?

You all know the definition of insanity. Will you continue to exhibit it?

Now that GWB will be out of the White House in January, that will free Cantor to follow a more conservative-libertarian line.

He’s been free to do that all along.

wth a near fillabuster proof majority in the Senate, does the left need anymore McCains and Grahams to get them over the hump

No. Unless the Dems try to pass the “Make Obama Emperor For Life Bill”, they won’t be any filibusters. The Dems can pass whatever they like with the eager help of McCain, Graham, and several others.

It’s important that we get a new public face for the party, not McConnell or McCain, and maybe not even Palin. One who can speak for the party and denounce the Dems actions. A Gingrich like figure.

Because if McCain continues to be our “leader” and spends the next two years kissing the Dems butt, then we’ll lose more seats in 2010.

A new Contract For America type effort would be nice, assuming the assortment of liberal Republicans we collected in trying for a “big tent” would go along with one.

When Republicans had the White House, Senate & House, they had a tough time advancing their agenda because the Democrats in Congress voted in bloc on every issue. No one wavered. The minority was then able to exert influence.

Republicans won’t have that advantage because of the RINOS, some of which are actually Democrats (See J McCain). There will be plenty that will reach across the aisle to be used as Democrat tools.

Just my thought. The Dems almost always vote as a block and the Repubs were scattered on both sides of the aisle. Especially on those very important votes.

When was the last time the Repubs voted as a block? Repubs spend too much time trying to get along than doing what is right. Having cotton for balls makes for poor support.

And do try to make posts without profanity. There are so many other words you might have used.

WarEagle, please tell me, using specific examples, how Eric Cantor is a RINO weasel. Or are you just yelling cliches out of your ass?
