The Conservatives will be the death of the once Grand Old Party
They got beat in 2006 and held the line
They got stomped in 2008 and held the line
Now they refuse to budge as their party folds around them
Republicans will eat their young in an ideological purge of what the extreme right deems unworthy of the label "Republican". They will fall to the extreme right wing and run only angry, white ideological lemmings.Republicans will have absolutely NO problem in 2010. It looks like they may regain the house in short order.
We have had a taste of how the democrats are spending our money. 787 BILLION --so-called economic stimulus bill that really hasn't stimulated a dam thing--& of course that no democrat read before they signed off on it.
Then the very next week Obama signing off on another 450 BILLION dollar Ominus bill that was loaded with over 9000 earmarks & goodies--
The health care proposals are the icing on the cake--August town hall meetings were a real eye-opener to how this congress wants to lead us to socialism.
NOPE--in 2010--democrats face a tsunami in the house & senate--along with many governorships.
Especially in the Senate. Many GOP incumbents aren't running this time. I think they will be doing well to pick up 6 or 7 this time.I'd hedge my bets on the Senate and governorships.
Doesn't the president's party typically lose seats in the midterm election, particularly if public approval of the president goes down? I think it's too early to say what is going to happen, and his approval rating is still fairly high with another year to rise or plunge.
Rabbi - respectfully - the logical of your last post is nil - you suggest that voters opted for Obama rather than McCain because they perceived Obama to be the more CONSERVATIVE of the two???????
And yet you suggest ANOTHER POSTER is the one not spending enough time on planet earth??????

What universe do you inhabit?
Conservatives weren't running in 2006. Conservatives were absent in 2008.
The GOP lost both times because they FAILED at being conservatives. They adopted liberal policies of tax and spend and promise. That's why voters kicked their butts.
Geez, get it right.

By any measure, Republican Rep. Bob Inglis of South Carolina is a solid conservative. In the 1990s, he was a vehement opponent of President Clinton. Last year, he got an "A" from the National Rifle Association, and an 84 percent approval rating from the American Conservative Union. His votes to cut budgets, leave markets unregulated and restrict abortions put him among the most conservative of his party.
.....Yet he is now a political target for elimination next election for not toeing the party line - even when the line was wrong?
And...why is that?
...Last week, Inglis did something that really ticked off some of his constituents. He was one of only seven Republicans who voted in favor of reprimanding South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson the man who yelled "you lie" at President Obama during a Sept. 9 speech to Congress.
At a constituent meeting at a Fuddruckers in Greenville, S.C., Inglis tried to explain:
"He admits that he violated the rules, right? And he apologized to the president. And what I said privately was, 'Joe, there's a second thing you gotta do. You gotta apologize to the forum,' " Inglis said.
Inglis' view of what the Republican Party needs to do:
"Our challenge as Republicans is to win at offering solutions with a hopeful, optimistic voice, rather than shrinking the party down to a snarling few who don't present their ideas with optimism, but rather just play on the worst fears of a small group of people," he says.
And what they seem to be doing instead is "purifying" the party with a RINO hunt on those who don't hew strictly to the conservative message.
That will win them indie and moderate votes for sure.

Keep up the good work.....your party needs to move MORE to the right
Paging Rick Santorum!Rabbi - respectfully - the logical of your last post is nil - you suggest that voters opted for Obama rather than McCain because they perceived Obama to be the more CONSERVATIVE of the two???????
And yet you suggest ANOTHER POSTER is the one not spending enough time on planet earth??????
Hello? What are you smoking and can I have some?
Conservatives didn't support McCain. And he lost. They stayed home. The only reason some conservatives showed up was for Palin.
Conservative Republicans win elections when they run that way. When they run as moderates they lose. It's pretty simple.
Except if you're stupid.

Inglis is an idiot, not unlike yourself.
His political career is over in the GOP as are ALL of the 'independents' who can't find the moral clarity to oppose the Leftist subversion.... Hussein was lying... such is an indisputable, documented FACT...
Censuring Wilson was absurd and to adhere to that was a demonstration of poor judgment; thus demonstrating him being unfit to serve in the US Federal Legislature.

Damn...well it looks like the Republican's won't get the Independent vote this next election either.
