Conservatives Deserting the GOP
You think I ought to be happy that there's conservatism out there. I'm not happy my own party wants to get rid of it. I'm mad that my own party wants to cast conservatism aside. I know there's plenty of conservatism out there. That's the source of the frustration. But conservatism by itself cannot move things. It needs a political party. In our political structure, it is parties that get things done. The Republican Party was the home of conservatism, and it still is. But the people that run the Republican Party right now are trying to get rid of it. And it's a death wish. It is an absolute death wish.
Rush is not being prophetic, he is just stating the facts on the ground. The current Republican leadership is pushing the panic button because they keep losing fights they shouldn't. Why? Probably because the GOP (at least at the top) no longer stands for conservative values on a whole host of issues, including spending, amnesty for illegal immigrants, punishing American industry for global warming. And today we have corporate welfare for rich farmers.
Rank and file conservatives are fed up, because they know that McCain is at best condescending to them, and at worst, actively conspiring to render them irrelevant to the political process. See this from Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler.
First off, I understand "compromise", I also understand "give and take" and I know full well that sometimes you have to compromise to get some of what you want. But voting for McCain isn't "compromise", its proper name is "abject surrender."
What's in it for me? The answer is "nothing."
At some point, you have to say "stop! No further!" The thing is, we should've done that a long time ago, but instead we kept reinforcing bad behavior by rewarding it. I don't know what kind of magical, wishful thinking it is that makes people think that rewarding scum for drifting to the left is going to one day, miraculously, make them turn around and drift the other way. I don't know what the proper name for it is, but I'm certain that the word "pathological" is part of it.
So what is to be done? I'm not sure, but I've been thinking and one conclusion I know is that conservatives cannot surrender their agenda to McCain. Leadership for conservatives should form from and within the conservative GOP delegation, and they need to do an end run around the GOP leadership.
What they need to do, and do without delay is to form an opposition party to John McCain and declare that they will oppose John McCain where he differs from them on spending, on global warming, on amnesty, on drilling in ANWR, etc. They should also, of course, say that they will work with McCain on judges, on fighting terrorists, etc. But the primary need is to serve as a rallying point to roust and energize the dormant and fleeing conservative base.
McCain won't like it, but phooey on him. Let him triangulate to the center as he so loves to do. The GOP has some congressional delegates to save. I realize that this is drastic and unheard of, to actively campaign against your own presidential nominee, but the GOP is up against a wall. Time for them to act like they understand that. Otherwise they can go back to the minority status they enjoyed so much in the seventies.

IF GOP DOESN'T REMAIN CONSERVATIVE --- THEY MAY AS WELL BE LEFTIST LIBERALS AND HELP DESTROY AMERICA.
MICHIGAN HAS AN ELECTION SCHEDULED IN AUGUST --- ADD OBAMA AND CLINTON TO THE TICKET!
We still have time to count the Michigan and Florida votes. This is USA of 50 states and if THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS made a mistake, WE CAN NOT DISENFRANCHISE MILLIONS OF DEMOCRAT VOTERS. These states are part of USA. We can count the votes as it stands, OR they can RE-VOTE before August 23. Those STATES are USA citizens, MILLIONS of them who WILL BE VOTING IN NOVEMBER.
Obama is against counting votes, and he is against re-voting. There is only one reason for that. He will lose and he knows it. But OBAMA would lose anyway in November.

McCain is a Conservative, and a good one.
Too many people runnung around thinking they are the "true conservatives" don't have a clue what it really means to be a true conservative. McCain is the closest thing to Barry Goldwater since Barry Goldwater.
Those fake conservatives in the White House that you voted for in 2000 and 2004 had their mandate and screwed it up, possibly beyond repair. To much of the general public, they have turned the word "conservative" into a negative term.
The House is lost. The Senate is lost. McCain is all that can save the Republican party, and the American public from oppressive taxation and more entitlement programs, especially the pensions and long-term healthcare obligations to employees of a bloated federal beaurocracy that will occur under a Democratic administration.
McCain wiped out the competition in the Primaries and still you attack him.
Those aren't real conservatives who are deserting the GOP. Goodbye Dave, Goodbye Rush, Goodbye Ann, and good riddance. You'll get no more free attacks on McCain.

There is a big difference between a Conservative and a Nazi alot of comments I read hear seem to be of the Nazi variety...those woth racial hatred welled up inside.
Under communism you have communal farming under Reaganism you have colective farming whats the difference....one is government owned the other is a massive corporation making huge profits that do not trickle down to the illegal imigrants working on them.
America under massive conservative ideas has failed and has become a weak nation where a generation of selfish greedy people tried to scrape every dollar from the pockets of those hard working class people.This was done by selling them lines about Guns, Jesus and Fear....remember this we fought the communist in Vietnam and Korea to "keep them from bringing the war over here" .The Chinese sent troops to help Korea and backed up Vietnam as well with weapons..58000 Americans died in Vietnam.. and at least one Presidential candidate was tortured as a POW but now big corporations supported by a CONSERVATIVE administration(his party) are sending American jobs and money to China..make sense of that one you conservative jackasses..your party has ruined America and no conservative in my mind has a right to wave a flag until its fixed.

WHO IS THIS IDIOT? OBAMA SAYS HE’S VISITED 57 STATES! IF YOU ADD FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN — THAT MAKES 59! WHERE ARE ALL THESE NEW STATES? WHAT COUNTRY IS HE RUNNING IN?
Watch closely — more superdelegates will be “BOUGHT AND PAID FOR” BY OBAMA. THEY WANT THE MONEY HE HAS COLLECTED FROM HIS ANTI-AMERICAN, TERRORIST FRIENDS AND CONTRIBUTORS!
SUPERDELEGATES ARE ROBBING US OF OUR DEMOCRACY — OUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE CANDIDATE WE WANT.
Superdelegates = the end of democracy!

This is the dilemna McCain finds himself in - align himself totally with an unpopular president - Bush - or try to go his own way. As far as I can tell, his policies mirror Bush's anyway, so I don't know what conservatives are bitching about. McCain will only differ from Bush overall in temperament, nothing else. His speeches about global warming and such are just his half hearted attempts at playing to the middle. The hard liners in the GOP will own McCain, much as they owned Bush.
Still, the Demcorats winning the last three special elections in GOP-leaning districts does bode well for the Republican party this fall.

I remember looking at a map of the US after the 2000 election. You know the blue/red map.
I was shocked to see most of the map was blue with the red areas corresponding to urban cities. The map clearly shows rural America voted for Bush and urban America voted for Gore.
Although not politically correct and sterotypical
rural Americans generally vote for a President to do what is best for the country.
Gimme, gimme, gimme, whats in it for me urban Americans generally vote for a president to do what is best for them.
What else explains the blue/red map distribution?
I don't know much about agriculture but the statistics you quote are irrefutable, I hope Democrats leave well enough alone. I wish you well.
Respectfully,
Pete

CRY BABY-BAMA ISN’T STRONG ENOUGH TO RUN ANYTHING. OBAMA NEEDS THICKER SKIN --- HE’S EITHER TOO SENSITIVE OR TOO VAIN! HIS ELITIST ATTITUDE WON’T WORK WITH THE HARD-WORKING, BLUE COLLAR PEOPLE OF AMERICA.
PRESIDENT BUSH WAS NOT SPEAKING ABOUT OBAMA! MAYBE OBAMA SIMPLY FEELS “GUILTY”. HE DOES HAVE A PROBLEM WITH JEWISH PEOPLE THAT HE HAS NOT EXPLAINED YET. HE DOES HAVE TIES TO TERRORISTS AND ANTI-AMERICANS, WHICH HE HAS NOT EXPLAINED. HE HAS NOT EXPLAINED HIS RACIST REMARKS IN HIS BOOK. HIS WIFE IS AN ANTI-AMERICAN.
HIS WHINING ABOUT PRESIDENT BUSH’S SPEECH EXPOSES HIS VULNERABILITY HERE --- HE SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT (AGAIN)!
HE HAS RUN HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON LIES!
NO-BAMA 2008!

I understand that when you are running for office sometimes you think the world revolves around you. That is not always true and it is not true in this case! Vanity is not pretty. Barack Hussein Obama is WEAK. Google this first term Senator's voting record in the Senate. It is horrendous.
Most of the time he can's make up his mind to vote "Yes" or "No" so he just voted "Present". Hey Barack, "Present" is not a vote. Make up your mind and be decisive.
Do we really want a President who will sit down and “negotiate” with terrorists as Obama has already said he WILL do without preconditions. Is that what we really want?
Read your history books, it has NEVER, EVER worked. All it does is embolden the enemy. Obama has too many ties to terrorists and anti-Americans.
SAY NO TO OBAMA.

WHY ARE OBAMA AND THE DNC ANGRY AT PRESIDENT BUSH’S REMARKS??? PRESIDENT BUSH DID NOT MENTION HIS NAME. IS OBAMA GETTING PARANOID?
I’M SURPRISED OBAMA THINKS THIS IS ABOUT HIM!!! DOES IT MEAN HE’S ADMITTING GUILT? HAMAS DID ENDORSE HIM! HE HAS TIES TO ANTI-AMERICANS AND TERRORISTS!
OBAMA TRULY IS AN IDIOT — REMEMBER, WE HAVE 57 STATES (NOT SURE IF THAT INCLUDES FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN).
CONCERNED11:57PMMay 15th 2008
OBAMA HAS RUN HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON LIES. WE DIDN’T HEAR ABOUT THEM UNTIL AFTER HALF OF AMERICA HAD VOTED! HE SIMPLY CANNOT BE TRUSTED!
“I never heard THOSE kind of sermons from Rev. Wright. I wasn't there” (for 20 years I didn't hear them) A couple of weeks later, “Oh yea, I heard them, but he didn't really mean what he said. I can't disown him he's my crazy old uncle.” Then he said, “I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt”. (What doubt? That he, Rev. Wright wouldn't show his a$$ again?) The Bosnia story was minor compared to the Wright story --- the NAFTA story --- the Rezko story --- the HAMAS story --- and many others.
AND NOW WE LEARN THAT, in 2001, Obama boasted that he helped a handful of “African American-owned” investment firms in Chicago get a larger share of business WITH ILLINOIS STATE PENSION FUNDS.
THE OWNER OF ONE OF THE CHICAGO-BASED INVESTMENT FIRMS, JOHN ROGERS OF ARIEL CAPITAL, IS A “PRINCIPAL OBAMA CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISER”.
Nor did Obama reveal that employees of the firms he helped have since contributed to or helped to raise MORE THAN $765,000 FOR HIS CAMPAIGNS, according to campaign documents.
Nor did he mention that two of the firms have ALLOWED HIM TO USE THEIR PRIVATE JETS.
Nor did he mention that two of the firms have since been DISMISSED by the state pension fund for "UNDERPERFORMANCE"!
WHAT ELSE IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HIDING?

John McCain and Ron Paul would rule your lives with an Iron Fist! (Authoritarian Rule) You vote for McCain you lose your Rights and Freedoms!

Can only Imagine listening to a DR. speaking to the Nation, Sorry gotta Leave have to make a Delivey of one of the Interns! Dr. Paul gives his speech you can't understand what the hell he is talking about when his mouth is full of Novacaine! Maybe he should be on standby for Cindy McCain when she slips into depression after being abused by John Dr. Paul can be her supplier! Imagine the Good Time the White House will have with your Money while your Children are fighting their WAR and don't think twice that the Congress will allow the next President to get away with what Bush had gotten away with! McCain has a hair trigger Temper and would wage war with any Country that does not meet his demands and he also meets and/or has met with Terrorists! John McCain has contradicted himself many times and would not think twice about taking away your Rights as a Gun Owner! Don't be fooled!
You don't need to click on links but with the information which is provided decide for yourselves! Be Warned Though your Future would look Bleak with a Republican Administration!

Top 10 Outrageous Quotes From McCain's Spiritual Advisers
://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=5517
Before Jeremiah "Obama's Pastor" Wright spews even more nonsense, and quotes even more ambassadors, we want to shed some light on the brilliant gems uttered by some of McCain's own spiritual advisers, Pastor John Hagee and Reverend Rod Parsley. When Hagee endorsed McCain, because he is a man of principle, McCain said he was "very honored by Pastor John Hagee's endorsement." Reverend Parsley calls McCain a "strong, true, consistent conservative" and McCain calls Parsley "a spiritual adviser." Because the liberal media refuses to give any credit to McCain, it is up to us to be fair and balanced. So here are the top 10 Memorable Quotes said by McCain's religious advisers:
1. "Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist."
- Pastor John Hagee in his book What Every Man Wants in a Woman (Charisma House, 2005)
2. "The Quran teaches that [all Muslims have a mandate to kill Christians and Jews]. Yes, it teaches that very clearly."
-Pastor John Hagee
Living Liberally :: Top 10 Outrageous Quotes From McCain's Spiritual Advisers
3. "I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans...I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are -- were recipients of the judgment of God for that...There was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades.... The Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment."
-Pastor John Hagee
4. "The military will have difficultly recruiting healthy and strong heterosexuals for combat purposes. Why? Fighting in combat with a man in your fox hole that has AIDS or is HIV positive is double jeopardy."
- Pastor John Hagee on Don't Ask Don't Tell
5. "[Gay marriage] will open the door to incest, to polygamy, and every conceivable marriage arrangement demented minds can possibly conceive. If God does not then punish America, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah."
- Pastor John Hagee
6. "It is impossible to call yourself a Christian and defend homosexuality. There is no justification or acceptance of homosexuality.... Homosexuality means the death of society because homosexuals can recruit, but they cannot reproduce."
- Pastor John Hagee
7. "Only a Spirit-filled woman can submit to her husband's lead. It is the natural desire of a woman to lead through feminine manipulation of the man...Fallen women will try to dominate the marriage. The man has the God-given role to be the loving leader of the home."
- Pastor John Hagee in his book What Every Man Wants in a Woman (Charisma House, 2005)
8. "I cannot tell you how important it is that we understand the true nature of Islam, that we see it for what it really is. In fact, I will tell you this: I do not believe our country can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand our historical conflict with Islam. I know that this statement sounds extreme, but I do not shrink from its implications. The fact is that America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed, and I believe September 11, 2001, was a generational call to arms that we can no longer ignore."
- Rod Parsley in Silent No More (Charisma House, 2005)
9. "Gay sexuality inevitably involves brutal physical abusiveness and the unnatural imposition of alien substances into internal organs, orally and anally, that inevitably suppress the immune system and heighten susceptibility to disease."
- Rod Parsley
10. "Only 1 percent of the homosexual population in America will die of old age. The average life expectancy for a homosexual in the United States of America is 43 years of age. A lesbian can only expect to live to be 45 years of age. Homosexuals represent 2 percent of the population, yet today they're carrying 60 percent of the known cases of syphilis."
- Rod Parsley

You may have heard of Rev. John Hagee, the McCain supporter who said God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its homosexual "sins." Well now meet Rev. Rod Parsley, the televangelist megachurch pastor from Ohio who hates Islam
Parsley has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he considers to be a "false religion." In the past, Parsley has also railed against the separation of church and state, homosexuals, and abortion rights, comparing Planned Parenthood to Nazis
John McCain actively sought and received Parsley's endorsement in the presidential race. McCain has called Parsley "a spiritual guide," and he hasn't said whether he shares Parsley's vicious anti-Islam views. That's because the mainstream media refuses to ask
First, here's McCain
"I am very honoured today to have one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide, Pastor Rod Parsley....I am very grateful you are here."
And now, the great moral compass himself:
"I do not believe that our nation can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand our historical conflict with Islam....
The fact is that...America was founded in part with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed."
I chose to link to al Jazeera's report about McCain's appearance with Parsley
One of the biggest foreign policy challenges
is the fact that a very large number of Muslims believe that the United States is
engaged in a war against Islam. And why wouldn't they? Rod Parsley says so, and one of our presidential candidates is willing to get up
and call him a "moral compass."
Andrew Sullivan
gets it right:
And the truth is: the GOP is far, far more influenced by its religious fanatics than the Democrats by theirs'.
McCain's "Spiritual Guide" Wants America to Destroy Islam
John McCain actively sought and received Parsley's endorsement in the presidential race. McCain has called Parsley "a spiritual guide," and he hasn't said whether he shares Parsley's vicious anti-Islam views. That's because the mainstream media refuses to ask. And so, we've taken matters into our own hands, joining Mother Jones to present the truth about McCain's pastor.
Since the media won't question McCain about his deeply bigoted pastor, it's up to you to call attention to this issue. Make McCain's pastor problem a major story by forwarding this video to your family, friends, and colleagues.

Josh Fry, a 24-year-old ambulance driver from Williamson, insisted he was not racist but said he would feel more comfortable with Mr McCain, the 71-year-old Vietnam war hero, in the White House. "I want someone who is a full-blooded American as president," he said.
This guy is a muslim trying to take over religion, rights, gunns, and lastly our country.
Does anyone remember 911. He's cunning and a racists. He is connected with dirty money and bad connections in the rest of the world.
Obama's got his work cut out with these people when he gets the nomination. A summer of engaging and listening with rural non-college educated white folk would help - why not hold a series of town hall meetings in rural America? I don't think any region should be written off by any candidate, especially if the major objections seem racial or religious.
Straight Talk About Universal Healthcare
A better way to describe the program would be to call it "universal heath insurance." The idea is that by compelling everyone in the nation to participate in the insurance market, you'd cut down on what's known as the "free rider" syndrome. As the term suggests, this would be people getting a "free ride" from the healthcare system by deciding not to get their own health insurance because they've been assured that in the case of an emergency or personal health catastrophe, inexpensive care will be guaranteed to them by the government. The theory is that mandated participation would help to drive down insurance costs.
But any mandate requires an enforcement component. My fear is that a government branch with the kind of power to actually identify and penalize those seeking to avoid the insurance mandates of universal healthcare would be vast and all-powerful. The new healthcare arm of the government would likely have the same kind of power (and loathsome reputation) as the IRS.

Ah, Mr. David, as the Irish would say, you be talkin' the tall one, straight out of the Devil's mouth (or mad woman Adrianna Huffington).
1) Since Truman, who initiated farm subsidies, the cost of food has been under 12% of Americans disposable income. Now spell that d i s p o s a b l e income. Currently, even with the oil/energy crunch, USDA states that food only costs some 10% of disposable income. Under the Clinton years, food was at its lowest, averaging 8-9% of American's disposable income. Food costs have never been above 12% since Truman's time. That's a fact jack. You spend more of your disposable income on DVD, CDs, and blue jeans.
2) You have taken Obama's line about food because he and his radical liberals want to harvest grains (where much of our subsidies lie) and direct them in a huge food aid program to Africa, the Palestine, Lebanon, and the United Nations. This is the a la Kennedy style of the 1960s where huge amounts of grain was shipped world wide in bags marked "Free Food by the US". Obama and Kennedy both feel this is their bargaining edge in foreign diplomacy. That type of diplomacy worked after WWII, but eventually food was left in port rotting.
3) Obama and Kennedy want farmers to end all conservation programs and farm from doorstep to road. What will this do? It will raise the cost of food in this nation, not lower it because nothing is really free, Mr. Dave, especially when you give away tons of food to nations whose per capita is directed against the US as they are sworn enemies of the US. This is exactly what the result of the Kennedy massive food aid during the 1960s and 1970s. Meanwhile, farmers will once again face quotas and over bearing government regulations like in the 1960s and 1970s that finally broke the agricultural community under the Carter Administration when the ag community went into the crapper due to government manipulation of food prices and grains and the market. You were too young to remember that - but when the Farm Credit Services when bankrupt due to Democrats in Congress taking huge loans out of the agency to spend on their pet programs, the farming community and small towns went belly up. I remember those times when farmers looked at silos as an alternative (its called suicide) when they lost their farms and rural farm banks went under. Then, at that time, food costs went up to 12% and kept climbing. Republicans and Democrats did nothing, so the Farm movement was born. The people who fought the movement was mostly Democrats, urban Democrats like yourself - and Illinois/Indiana rich farmers who also have working oil wells on their land, who today are on Obama's political payroll. As you must know by now, the politics in Illinois is dirty with the prior Governor (Republican) serving in the Fed Pen, with the current Governor (Democrat) most likely following as his aides are currently indicted and singing like canaries.
4) The Green Revolution was born, developed by Noble Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaugh (The Man Who Fed the World). Now this isn't Green Peace, so don't confuse the issue. The onclusion was to get government interference and manipulation out of Agriculture and allow innovation and technology to advance instead of being stifled. Methods of conservation development, including no-till, ridge till, mulch-till, in order to save soil and natural residue to keep water clean. Innovations such as the amazing soybean which is the main health ingredient into much of our food and medicine (George Washington Carver). Aqua culture which is not the number one source of protein into third world nations. What occurred when government kept their sticky little socialists hands (Farmer’s Union and the Democratic Party) out of the agri community was what both Volker and Greenspan said that the best industry in the nation and the world is the agricultural industry, who has risen from the ashes to prominence and cutting edge technology all the while letting the market determine price and keeping food prices here in the US lower than any other nation in the world.
5) The rural communities bloomed from their depression they suffered in the 1970s and 1980s. More revenue meant economic development. Yeah, Wal Mart came in and small shop owners suffered, but the economics of jobs and higher wages were more evident as businesses bailed out of the cities (oh goodness, another Obama plan to bring business back to the inner cities) and took up residence in small towns such as the auto industry, the technology industry. Frankly, Mr. Dave, Sen Obama and Sen. Kennedy want to transfer that economic positive to the cities and leave the rural and ag communities in abject poverty under the iron rule of government. That is wrong, Mr. Dave, very very wrong. What your are advocating is that the leadership of the Democrats, using government, to take over the hard earned work and abilities and their sterling results for themselves by using government to contain and control an industry.
What next, Mr. Dave, communal farms like Red China tried to do under Mao?
Finally, Mr. Dave, the only thing propping up our trade deficit is soybeans, cotton, and Boeing planes. Yet it is amazing to the ag community that Sen. Obama’s plan is to regulate the industry, give away free food, and thus eliminate in one massive brain dead Kennedy induced moment the only exports that truly carry a healthy standard globally.
Why is Obama suggesting food aid to China in order to resolve the Tibet issue? Can you explain the economics of that one.
Frankly, at this time, all I can say is that you liberals have lived in your ivory tower too long, since the 1960s, have harbored immense resentment against the rest of the world and have gone over your Kennedy manual too many times in the great “hope” of seeing Camelot again. Camelot provided the groundwork for the difficulties of the 1970s, 1980s until today. That’s a fact jack.
I have taken your article and will deliver it to the thousands of farmers in Iowa, Illinois (sans ist greedy little Obama leadership), Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, and the great plains. If Sen. Obama and Sen. Kennedy continue on this path, you will see the Farm movement return with every State Legislature tied up in the same argument – we have given this nation cheap, healthy and nutritious food – we will not be socialized – nor our wealth plundered by any party.
So go ahead, Mr. Dave, the Republican leadership screwed up on the war in Iraq, the Democrats will screw up by raising the price of food. All of you politicos are frankly nut cases trying to use government to clobber good, decent Americans.
