		<description>&quot;It is the moment that socialism took true hold in our Country.&quot;

Sorry but where have you been?  We&#039;ve been on this path since FDR and the &quot;New Deal&quot;.

		<description>&quot;But WE are not the ONE in the Senate or House.&quot;

You seem to not want to hear what I&#039;m saying.  That mindset is NOT the conservative mindset.

We are in control folks.  You may not feel like it.  You may be hearing that from anyone.  But we are in control, they work for us.

Let&#039;s not get as looney as the left got with Bush folks.</description>

		<description>Waterboyz, I&#039;m not sure I get your point but I think I agree, just need to be more specific. 

Conservatives don&#039;t need the GOP. Had the 6-7 million who stayed home last November voted 3rd party instead, it would have left us with a different narrative to be building on. 

It is not the GOP &quot;leadership&quot; that clogged the phones the past few days but us conservatives. they only changed their tune once they had a gun pointed at their heads. 

The GOP is now pretending to be fighting for our side but the same people who surrendered to the Dems when the GOP controlled everything are now fighting just to make it look close. Even at the point of a gun, these guys try just hard enough to lose. When in the majority, it&#039;s &quot;gangs of McCain&quot; surrendering landmark victories to the leftists. 

It is time to start a new party and the first step is to re-register as an unaffiliated independent as half of Republicans have done since 2004. We have no use for noseholding apologists who automatically vote Republican &quot;just because&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt; On February 7th, 2009 at 9:31 am, jsmiddleton4 said:

“It will take generations of Repub leadership to fix the damages.”

A statement like that is an example of just how schizoid we conservatives can be. NO, it will not take “Repub leadership” to fix this. It will take we the PEOPLE to fix it. Depending on someone else to fix it, that is simply liberalism lite and what got these “Republicans” doing what the left wanted in the first place, people depending on government. Do you see the difference? Please tell me you see the difference…..

To fix the mess that we are already in and will be coming it will take leaders who will STOP trying to fix anything but instead leave us citizens alone to pursue life liberty and happiness.

WE will fix it if we are left alone to do so.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

But WE are not the ONE in the Senate or House.  WE are the ones who elect the ONE.  It takes leadership to nurture and gather the ONES that WE will vote for.  WE can nurture the ONE(s) WE believe in but those have to go thru a funneling (i.e. via leadership) to eventually to be the ONE that WE send to rep us.

As the system is now, the WE in my community elect the ONE.  That ONE becomes a powerful ONE in, say the Senate.  That ONE then has a cause/affect/effect on all of the other WEs across the Country.  Did WE elect a powerful ONE that becomes smart and wise or dumb and stupid?  There needs to be some sort of &quot;vetting/clearance&quot; that happens so that the WEs across the land elect the ONEs that are best for all.

A perfect example is Murtha.  His locals elect him because of what he has done and promises to do for the locals.  The locals couldn&#039;t give a rat&#039;s @ss about anyone outside their local community.  Even though Murtha has proven to affect/effect the whole Country.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t ever want to hear the names Bush, McCain, McConnell, Boehner, Graham and the rest of those traitors again. Don&#039;t bother trying to defend McCain. He and Bush share equal blame for the destruction of the GOP and I am not impressed by death bed conversions. Where has he been all these years? When he is on the winning side, he is defeating his own party. When he is on our side, we lose. Quite a legacy.</description>

		<description>If there is anyone who is puzzled as to why recent events represent a catastrophic surrender of freedom, I strongly recommend you read the opening chapter of Thomas Paine&#039;s &quot;Common Sense&quot;. He discusses how people confuse &quot;society&quot; with &quot;government&quot;. Society is where we all pursue our happiness and thus represents all that is good. Government, where men place some limits on certain freedoms to maintain order, represents all that threatens society. By definition, the growth of government is the surrender of personal freedom.

We just surrendered most of our constitutional freedoms. It will soon be essentially unconstitutional to disagree with our government as they systematically shut down deliberative democracy for being too tedious, contentious and inconvenient for people who are too &quot;important&quot; to bother with the messiness of democratic government.

How easy it is to lead sheep to slaughter.</description>

		<description>We have all just lived through an historic moment:  the moment that this Country changed forever.  This is the biggest, most outlandish and piggish theft of taxpayer money by traitors in the government in the history of the world.  It is the time when hypocracy has just exploded off the charts, and the big lie that Obama sold the suckers who voted for him, came to pass.  

It is the moment that socialism took true hold in our Country.  It is the moment that we learned the real truth, that the pigs running our Country dont give a sh*t about it.  Their sole concern is keeping power by making governmrnt the caretaker of their voters, period. They have no regard for our legislative process; they are opportunists, and fear mongerors. The have done this with full intent, &lt;strong&gt;knowing&lt;/strong&gt; that they have deceived everybody. Sell outs and traitors; they have irreversibly damaged and destroyed the future of this Country as assuredly as anything.</description>

		<description>&quot;Do you think it’s right that the party that lost the last election and now controls only 40% in the Senate can veto what the majority wants to do?&quot;

That is not a &quot;right&quot; or &quot;wrong&quot; thing.  That is a &quot;this is how it is designed to work&quot; thing.  Just like Reid&#039;s stupid comment that a minority in the Senate can&#039;t hold the President hostage.  Not only did the left do just that to Bush, to intepret the way the checks and balances of our government is designed to operate with as &quot;holding the President hostage&quot; is either an indication that Sen. Reid has no sense of how our government works OR does but is trying to dumb down the public so that the public doesn&#039;t get upset when there is no checks and balances.

Not only is it &quot;right&quot;, it is by design and is working exactly how it is suppose to.</description>
