   I’d like to rise in unanimous support and consent for comment #1.

   It would seem that we are seeing the real reason Democraps have been winning elections for a long time. They lie, cheat, steal and (more than anyone thought before) harass. I’d like them to show up on my doorstep, too.

   Lefties and “independents” love to point out that all politicians do “it,” whatever “it” may be on any given day. If they had one scintilla of evidence that Republicans engaged in this harassment nonsense it would be all over the news. I’ll take their silence as an indicator that the right does NOT engage in this.

   Now, putting a stop to it….

   Yes, our long term strategy must include all the lower level positions that are crucial to continued success. We need Conservatives in the state Secretaries of State positions to ensure fair elections, Conservatives on school boards to prevent Liberal bias, Conservatives in state Legislatures to fix the budgets, Conservative judges appointed to prevent the progressive agenda from being enacted by fiat, …

   We need all of it. And we need to hold those we elect to office accountable.

   Apathy is no longer an option.

   If Obama wants to talk about foreign influences, then he can explain his very close relationship to Rahid Khalidi, who was an advisor to archterrorists Yasser Arafat and is still involved with radical rejectionist groups in the MidEast. The LA Times had the video of Obama saluting Khalidi but would not release the audio or video because that would have likely showed Obama lavishing praise on Yasser Arafat’s crony. I suggest that Republicans make this challenge to OBama: We will release any lists that we have and you can release the audio video of your genuflection to Rashid Khalidi. BTW Mr. Khalidi teaches MidEast Studies at Columbia University, the same university that gave Ahmedinejad a heroe’s welcome. One can only imagine what would happen to a student who said a kind word about Israel in Khalidi’s classroom.

   I heard this last night on one of the shows: politicians think people are mad now but will get over it by the election and things can go back to status quo. I hope that all of us have learned a lesson about keeping vigil over elected officials. They’ve always worked for the people but apathy, and ignorance on our part has led to them thinking they’re the ruling class. As Barney Fife would say, it’s time to “nip it in the bud”.

   announced a brazen witch hunt against Republican donors. Left-wing political operative Tom Matzzie told The New York Times he would send “warning” letters to 10,000 top GOP givers “hoping to create a chilling effect that will dry up contributions.” Matzzie bragged of “going for the jugular” and said the warning letter would be just the first step, “alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives.”

   This smacks of blackmail. My response to such a letter would be to instruct my lawyer to send them a letter informing them of my 1st Amendment rights. You can only be bullied if you allow it.

    So we protect the identities of people who contribute to groups led by hardened ideologues, but not the identities of people who contribute directly, who then become targets of the hardened ideologues.

    So that is what ‘transparency’ means to Democrats?

    Now I understand what Obama meant when he talked about transparency. Now I understand why the lamestream media doesn’t hold him to account for his lies about it.

    The word ‘transparency’ doesn’t mean the same thing to them that it means to the rest of us. Like ‘racism’ and ‘bigotry’ and ‘freedom’ and ‘patriotism’ and ‘faith’ and so on.

    The Democrat slime have a whole different language where the meanings of words are dependent upon the effects the use of the words have on advancing their ideological agenda.

    That is why it is impossible to communicate with the gutter scum.

    The White House attack on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce isn’t about “disclosure.” It’s about disarmament.

    So well said!

    While posing as campaign finance champions, the ultimate goal of the Democratic offensive is to intimidate conservative donors, chill political free speech and drain Republican coffers.

    Meanwhile, the “Stimulus” steered literally BILLIONS (not Thousands or Millions, but BILLIONS) of dollars of taxpayer money into the hands of left-wing groups that laundered that money and are donating some of that money right back to the Democratic Socialists who gave it to them.

    It is an outrage that my tax dollars are being used to fund Democratic Socialist candidates!

    In October 2008, I remember seeing 2 Democratic operatives on CSPAN bragging how they had it figured out how the Democrats can rule America without Republicans.

    It was quite obvious from the behavior of the 3 stooges: Reid, Pelosi and Obama, that they felt they did not need Republicans. They had their agenda, and they were now in charge and treated anyone that did not comply with them with contempt.

    Now they are in the next phase of their plan, which is to shut down the debate. They have the lame street media, and have attacked Fox and bloggers like MM. They have the thugs, they will use fraud with impunity in the coming election.

    What they don’t have is 60 percent of the people who have awoken from a deep slumber finding the nightmare was real. We must so overwhelm the electoral process as to drive these arrogant fools out of office. It will take decades to undo the damage they have created.

    We don’t need Democrats.

    All this is why I have come to the conclusion, and thats based on being in places and seeing first hand,that what has happened is a Coup. It started first Year of Bush 2, accelerated last 2 years of Bush 2 and we are living with those results now. It is not pretty to think about but when you look at all thats transpired in the last 2 years or so and the tactics the Socialist Democrats are employing it all adds up. They will not give up easily and when they loose, and thats more than likely, watch and be ready to react if not be proactive to what will happen next. They will burn our country to the ground rather than follow our Constituion and the will of the majority of people.

    Matzzie’s group, Accountable America, is itself a 501(c)(4) nonprofit entity that shields the identity of its donors. (The group is required by law to remain nonpartisan, but has described itself as “dedicated to electing Democrats to the state legislature across America.”)

    This is where I get confused. I serve on the boards of two 501c corporations, and we are strictly forbidden from participating in politics. Period. All of us are strongly conservative, but must do any and all of our work for conservative causes separate from the corporation.

    Chap – if you’re floating about can you – or any lawyer types here explain why the IRS does not shut these people down? I had the same problem with ACORN, another 501.

    They would, if they needed to, but they don’t. They have Obama’s veto pen for the next two years, and then they have the rank idiocy of the American voter to get Obama or some other socialist Democrat like HRC in the WH for the next four years after that.

    And in all of that time they are just one heartbeat out of five away from completely remaking America with a radical (I’d say fanatical) leftwing US Supreme Court.

    I see no reason for the socialist strategists to fear anything beyond this election, even if the R’s take both Houses of Congress.

    You joke, but it’s the right idea. Americans would be generally better off if we broke up the country along blue and red state lines so the proggs couldn’t be living off good conservative policies, and conservatives wouldn’t be suffering under progg idiocies.

    If we could do that, we might be amazed how fast progg enclaves from Maine to Wisconsin would embrace conservative policies, both economic and social. (Big states like CA and NY would take much longer, with much more pain, especially after getting flooded with many more proggs).

    Progg ideas just don’t work in the long run. The smaller and more proggish the country, the quicker they run out of other people’s wealth to destroy.

    That’s why the EU was created. It made it harder for conservatives to make their cases by pointing at obvious, abject failures right next door.

    It’s why the proggs are always fighting fang and claw to erase any differences between the States.

    Socialists want bigger countries with weaker national sovereignty. We should want smaller countries with stronger national sovereignty.

    The Springfield “Republican” (MA) dutifully ran a headliner, multipage story on the “evils” of the Koch brothers and their fight against the cancer of progressivism. I am sure it sent chills up and down the spines (do they have spines?) of the uberlibtards in this area.

    I read the story and thought they were doing a pretty good job!

    There was a small mention of George Soros towards the end, but naturally, he is completely “transparent” and “not doing a thing for his own financial interests.”

    That is old news…the democrats have been doing the dirty deeds, cheating legally and illegally for as long as I can remember? The strange part is the RNC’s willing assistance, forgiving stolen elections, taking democrat advice on candidates? The rnc is still mad that the people nominated Ronald Regan when the democrats had given them (rnc) a perfectly good looser to run that year.

    This is nothing new for the Left. What is new as that the sleeping giant is awake and that’s us and it won’t be business as usual for the Progressives. They know it and they don’t like it but there is nothing they can do about it. The game has changed.

    Well said, too bad the President will probably never read this, or similar writings.

    …the feedback I got, and the things I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, it was a terrible letdown. This is not 2008 anymore, not by a long shot. For most of the last year, you want to know what question keeps playing in my head?

    Q: What question was that?

    WHAT THE HELL HAVE WE DONE? Now that may come off terribly disrespectful to the president, but so be it. What have we done? We were led to believe this man was one thing, but everything I have seen, heard, and understand, points to the indisputable fact he is not what we hoped for. Not what we were promised. Maybe he might have been. Maybe a full term or two in the Senate and he would have had the experience and maturity to handle the job of President of the United States. But right now – the man is simply not up to the task, and yet it is loyal Democrats who are paying the price for his incompetence and incoherence. The health care bill? Do you know I was told he has never read the bill? Not one part of it? NOT ONE. Sounds like something you would hear on one of the talk radio shows, right? And I wouldn’t normally consider such a possibility, but this came directly from one of those good Democrats who might now see their political careers ended because they supported that bill and now its being used against them like some political sledgehammer. How is that supposed to make someone who put their career on the line feel? Betrayed. A whole lot of us are feeling betrayed these days…

    1) Wake up and smell the coffee. Some of us saw Obama for what he is well over two and half years ago, but you wouldn’t listen to us then.

    2) Perhaps instead of crying about “feeling betrayed”, those Congresspeople should have read the bill themselves before they voted on it. Stop blaming Obama for not having read the bill, if you haven’t read it yourself. You betrayed those whom you represent when you ignored their objections and voted for this monstrosity of a bill that you had not even read. And you did that because you were too weak to stand up to Obama. Well, Boo Freakin’ Hoo. You deserve to lose your job.

    hordes of protesters who disrupted the business, intimidated patrons and brought employees to tears

    This is part of the problem: “tears” are not a weapon in the war for freedom. Tears are red meat for leftists. We need to fight back; make the toggafs cry into their beards for a change. Why do you think they don’t attack black churches far more hostile to gay rights than white churches? Every bully remains a coward. We need to make use of that.

    As a side note, today 10/16/10, I voted in the County of Snohomish, State of Washington. I actually have hope that some of my choices this time will win.

    Um… a 501(c)(4) certainly is allowed to engage in partisan political activity. A 501(c)(3) is not. But those are not the same at all.

    Not sure where MM is getting her information. I’d expect a bit better fact checking for a syndicated article.
