Bill, I have David Vitter and Bobby Jindal in my state.

Jindal has been booted around as a RINO here. Not sure about vitter.

The one I am trying to get out of representing LA is Mary Landrieu, a true eltist collectivist if every there was one.

Best luck.

And yes I have contacted Mitch McConnell and quite a few other representatives. I yell at them, send emails, letters, etc.

Good. That’s a few of us.

But yelling at some intern weinie on the phone doesn’t do much good.

It’s a start. It is also what we are down to.
My point was that things are going to get worse until “conservatives” get moving. You, Danceswithdachshunds and I are not going to be able to a whole lot but everyone calling, writing, etc will. It has before. The other side is organized to do it and where moveon.org is running ads the calls are about even. (At least in Maine)

“. Certainly not as much as running someone AGAINST their boss. “

Fantastic. Absolutely. I agree. However there are pressing problems at the moment and whomever you run to replace Landrieu will eventually let you down in one fashion or another. Do you toss up your hands on person X or even better, toss up your hands on the party? What if person X doesn’t get elected? What if the people chose Landrieu again? Whose fault is that? The party’s or democracy?

“So please, get over the anger you have with people who point out these fifth columnists, the emperors without clothing. “

Not quite what has been “pointed out” here. What Malkin is doing is trying to divorce conservatism from the republican party. The 2 together are stronger that both apart. Divorce conservatives from the GOP and the GOP will turn left to stay alive. That will drag the country left faster than any obamamessiah could and we will have done it to ourselves. (By indulging perpetual temper tantrums.)

“There is nothing wrong with someone like Malkin pointing these things out…”

Nothing at all. Or Kos for that matter. I am just pointing out the ramifications of what is being advocated. (Over and over…during the primaries, the election, the defeat, the effort to stop the democrats from entrenching their power…. A hysterical hate vendetta in the name of conservatism that has the end result of enabling everything that conservatism is supposedly against.) But no, she has a right to say whatever she wants and a right to pull the plug on my commentary at any moment. I fully recognize that.

“NOW is the time to find people who will run against the collectivists in the primaries. “

Sure.

“And also while you’re at it, can you get over your Erich Fromm-ian need to control other people? It’s irritating.”

Well firstly, Erich Fromm wasn’t about “controlling other people” from what I have read but I have often thought of “Escape from freedom” when I read some of these posts. Secondly, who is trying to control whom here? I posted some contact information and got a lot of BS for it. If that intimidating to your beliefs perhaps you should reexamine what you want to believe. It might be a rationalization.

I figure at this point the Democrats are so efficient at screwing the nation maybe I need to vote for and support them to ensure the super-majority persists long enough to utterly destroy this nation so that the Democracy finally dies as history insists it must. Getting over the agony quicker does have its proponents. It hurts for a shorter time to peel off the bandages rapidly than slowly.

McConnell, tell me why I should not just give up on the country of my birth even though it has morphed to a huge nanny-government state at the hands of you idiot Republicans and the kings and queens of corruption, the Democrats?

There is nothing wrong with someone like Malkin pointing these things out… unless you believe that all reportage must be self-censored to protect the Republic.

If our Republic needs lies, deception and the deafening silence of self-censorship to elect fifth columnist collectivists in order to survive, then maybe it deserves the dustbin of history.

NOW is the time to find people who will run against the collectivists in the primaries. Not next year or the following. Now.

And also while you’re at it, can you get over your Erich Fromm-ian need to control other people? It’s irritating.

Poll question: Would would vote for Obama’s stimulus package if given the chance?

There is hope people(this is lib-land)!

80% said NO!

Main reason given: full of pork, and not stimulus!

Also, thanks to foreclosures my house is worth about $30K less than what I owe and $100K less thn what I paid 1.5 yrs ago. No bank will refinance a house worth less than the loan itself, and there must be a lot of people in the same boat, incluing those who took out huge equity loans a few years ago. Will the government start performing special government-backed appraisals as well to ensure that more people can qualify?

Who will benefit from these 4% loans unless “credit-worthiness” is redefined by the government, for government-backed loans, like “only one foreclosure” or “only one bankruptcy” qualifies as still having “good credit”?

I wouldn’t include Thomas Sowell in your list of RINOs, certainly.

That makes you a closet RINO. A RINO sympathizer maybe.

Read the comments. Townhall had a major purge of conservatives. If you think Medved, Hewitt, Lewis and the rest are anti-RINOs, I rest my case.

…

If you disagree, fine. I see several commenters here who know what I’m talking about.

I’m sensing a little bit of hostility. It was just a question.

As to the columnists, they are NOT Townhall exclusive and get the vast majority of their audience elsewhere. I am referring to the blog area.

That’s all I wanted to know. I typically go there for the handy links to the columnists. I wouldn’t include Thomas Sowell in your list of RINOs, certainly.
