   Conservatives are doing an Arnold Schwarzenegger. What they are telling the GOP leadrship is,

   “Come with me, if you want to live.”

   It’s their call.

   On a related note, I was also told that national GOP officials pressured the state party not to endorse/promote my appearance at the URF event. Unbelievable. Michelle, you have given them the best slogan for the 2010 campaign, running against the culture of corruption – at the White House, from the Czars, at the Justice Department. All the GOP officials should be saying thank you and tossing flowers your way

   Conservatives are getting tired of being blackmailed by the leadership. 2010 will be real bloody if they don’t wake the he** up. We are at war in this country and we don’t want to give the other side a chance to survive.

   Another example of how out-of-touch they are! The Republican rank-and-file listen to people like you, Rush, Sarah, et.al., so the “leadership” tries to shut you up.
   In the meantime, the “leadership” promotes Dede, Charlie Crist, Arlen Specter, John McCain, et.al., then wonders why the rank-and-file doesn’t trust them.

   How many more losses is it gonna take before THEY listen to US!?!?

   go michelle! any damn fool can stick his finger in the air and go whichever way the wind blows. true leaders pick the direction they believe is correct and move the oars to make the ship of state go that way. we have been lazily heading downstream for a long time, it will take some hard work and commitment to bring this barge around. going with the flow brought us here. if republicans wish to be the party of european merkel conservatives (we support 35 hr work weeks while those socialist support 33 hrs, and we support only 7 weeks of paid leave while those socialists support fine. but someone better have a plan on how to not become the green party of the future.

   Third Party Time “TEA PARTY”

   The Republicans want all their races split in 2010 by the Independents running for the same offices? So what happens the Democrats stay in power in the house and senate?

   I won’t vote lesser of two evils if the Republican Party has to stay in the deep freeze for another election cycle to figure out that the “MAJORITY” of Americans, have had enough so be it. I am an Independent who leans Libertarian. So I am not married to the Republican Brand.

   For some reason the Republicans don’t get that ALL Independents are not Wobbly Liberals or Moderates. There is a demographic of American citizens like myself, that have watched the two parties divide us all. They keep us bickering with each other, while they POWER GRAB those people are Progressives in both parties. I won’t vote for a Progressive candidate if I had to eat dirt to survive.

   Enough is Enough.

   There are liberal weeds in our conservative garden. Basic farming 101:

   We must begin with good seed, and select a good ground to cultivate, plant and nurture that good seed.

   Next comes periodic watering, tilling, and weeding around the tender plants, otherwise, the weeds will take over and choke out the the good crop we hope to achieve.

   Good seed yields a good crop; fruitful and beneficial to all. But to allow a garden to go untended will yield a field of weeds that spread, take over, and kill the entire garden.

   I could go on and on, but will stop here.

    First of all I am pleased to see there are enough Republicans there to actually have a dinner.

    But isn’t that just like the Grand PooBahs of the Get Along Go Along Republicans to try and shut out Michelle Malkin? After all she does actually talk to the Great Unwashed-aka WE WHO VOTED FOR THE JERKS in the past–the future we shall see. So we weed the garden and hoe out much of the national GOP officials-can we spray for them?

    I can halfway see where the Obaminations are confused by the charge “Chicago Style Politics”: what we of the fly over call Chicago Style Politics friends of the president such as Valleri Jarrett call Business as Usual – corruption, padding and such are their mother’s milk.

    John McCain, February 28, 2000:

    I have spoken against forces that have turned politics into a battle of bucks instead of a battle of ideas, and for that, my friends, and for that, my friends, I have been accused of disloyalty to my party.

    …

    Well, well, my friends I’ve always — I’ve always acted in what I believe to be the best interest of my country, and I always believed that what is good for America is good for the Republican Party.

    …

    I am a conservative, my friends, a proud conservative who has faith in the people I serve, but those who purport to be defenders of our party but in who — who in reality have lost confidence in the Republican message are attacking me. They are people who have turned good causes into businesses.

    …

    They distort my pro- life positions and smear the reputations of my supporters.

    Why? Because I don’t pander to them, because I don’t ascribe to their failed philosophy that money is our message. I believe in the cause of conservative reform. I believe that because we are right we will prevail in the battle of ideas, unspoiled by the taint of a corrupt campaign finance scheme that works against the very conservative reform of government that is the object of our labors.

    …

    The Republican Party will prevail because of our principles, because that’s what it’s about, my friends: principles, not special- interest money or empire or ego.

    …

    Why should you fear a candidate who shares your values? My friends, I am a Reagan Republican who will defeat Al Gore.

    If they’re not going to stand by conservative principles, why have a Republican Party?

    For some reason the Republicans don’t get that ALL Independents are not Wobbly Liberals or Moderates. There is a demographic of American citizens like myself, that have watched the two parties divide us all. They keep us bickering with each other, while they POWER GRAB those people are Progressives in both parties. I won’t vote for a Progressive candidate if I had to eat dirt to survive.

    Bingo Loree. It is foolish to think all independents are afraid of conservatives. I’m independent, and you can be sure it is not because I am worried about republicans being too conservative. Funny thing is, in spite of what the media spews, I’m no right wing radical. There are some basic principles that steer my way of thinking. Like fiscal responsibility and integrity. Plenty of other views, but those two are non-negotable. If the republican party can mangage that, I’ll consider. But not before.

    Comeon guys! Let’s shake the RNC. The GOP leadership has not heard from all of us. Call, fax, email Michael Steele, Newt Gingrich, and the Coalitions. (I have, but am doing it again!)

    I understand we do not march to the same drummer in all instances, but we do want to have candidates with Conservative core values.

    Conservatives must take leadership control of all the Republican committees – run off the RINOs. Then can guys like Doug Hoffman get a fair shot at election. Only when that fails to take back Congress do you talk about running “moderates”.
