We’re treated to a barrage of polls treating us to how a republican primary candidate would fair against Obama in the general election.  Its worth noting that more than 90% of the public has yet to vote in a republican primary and polls are about as relevant as placing a bet in Vegas on who will win the World Series this year.

Most of the news about these polls are intended to show all of us that Mitt would win or have the best chance to win against Obama, of course when the nominee is chosen the same polls and media will show that person behind by double digits in the polls.

The polls haven’t been accurate for years and there is really no point in them other than the media uses them to feed their news machine.  Other than that they are meaningless in terms of gauging where the electorate truly is on the issue of who should be the next president.

While Mitt Romney squeaked out an eight point win last night in Iowa clearly the winner was Rick Santorum. We are very pleased to see a true conservative come out of nowhere and peak at the right time.

It appears that Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry will be getting out at this point and that does nothing but help Santorum.

Now Romney will win New Hampshire however it will be interesting to see if Santorum can get within 10 points. If he can show strong in New Hampshire then it is possible for him to win South Carolina and Florida.

Going to be an interesting month!

Beware of the semantics lesson going on with congressional democrats these days.  The latest buzz phrase is “increase revenue”.  They know that the public has no tolerance for raising taxes right now so they talk about increasing revenue for which they mean to increase taxes.  It’s the usual mantra, “the rich need to pay their fair share”, of course this completely ignores the fact that nearly half of all Americans already pay $0 in taxes and that the top 10% of wage earners already pay more than 70% of the taxes in this country…

Dems continue to ignore history that tells us to cut taxes to increase revenue…

I can’t begin to tell you how frustrating is was to read that Haley Barbour and other week kneed republicans are “warning” conservatives that we are not supposed to expect our candidate to be “pure”.  With all due respect to Gov. Barbour not only should we expect our candidate to be pure on conservative principles we should demand it!  Many conservatives stayed home in 2008 because the reality was that there is almost no difference at all between John McCain and Barrack Hussein Obama.

To help illustrate some of Gov. Barbour’s absurd comments I’ll quote the following:

"In politics, purity is the enemy of victory,"

"We can’t expect our [presidential] candidate to be pure. Winning is about unity, not purity."

"The Republican Party is not in competition with the conservative movement," Priebus said with an almost plaintive tone. "The Republican Party is part of the conservative movement."

The last comment was particularly disturbing to me.  I am sorry Governor but you are sorely mistaken, the Republican party ceased to be part of the conservative movement in January of 1989 when Ronald Reagan left office.  There have at times been conservatives in positions of leadership in the republican party but the party as a unit has not been part of the conservative movement for over twenty years.

We don’t need the likes of Romney, Pawlenty, Christie, and Giuliani.  We need strong leadership and these moderate republicans simply do not qualify.  Romney likes to talk a good game but he again proved he’s unfit to be the GOP nominee with the following statement today on Fox and Friends regarding his health care law in Massachusetts “right for the people of Massachusetts,”

Not only is it not right for the people of Massachusetts but it’s been an abysmal failure for the taxpayers of Massachusetts.  Romney back peddling a bit did admit the law wouldn’t work nationally.  So it remains to be seen if the GOP truly has what it will take to defeat Obama in 2012.  The reality is that with his record he should lose in a Jimmy Carter style landslide but Carter was running against Reagan.  Do we have a Reagan to run against Obama in 2012?

Everyone who calls themselves “conservative” knows that the government of this country needs to be reclaimed and brought back to Constitutional principles of limited, restricted government and values based on a higher level of morality than currently exists in this country. In order for anything close to this to happen, conservatives need get their act together and fast.

The Democratic Party has shown repeatedly that they are very well organized and will work together to achieve their liberal goals. The conservatives in this country need to do the same or they will never rescue this country from the morass of socialist-Marxist programs and expanding government control and loss of individual liberties.Once you accept the afore-mentioned situation the question then arises, how do we best accomplish our goals in the present geopolitical atmosphere?

The first step that needs to take place is to create an organizational structure to use for coordinating our activities. In order to establish such a structure it would take a lot of time and a lot of money. Both of which are working against us as we need to act fast to stop the socialization of this country. Luckily we already have a structure in place to use. We just need to find a way to get access to this structure so we can properly utilize it. That organizational structure already exists in the Republican Party. This is why we cannot abandon the GOP. Instead it is imperative that we convince the GOP to work towards our mutually beneficial ends. I say mutually beneficial because they would also benefit from working to get conservatives elected as they would reap much greater levels of financial support and donations if they were to put on a marketing campaign stressing the goals of returning America to a more Constitutionally based government and a desire to restore morality to American society.

The next step is to create an outline that describes the goals we wish to obtain. What, specifically, are the conservative values we espouse? What defines the moral values we wish to restore? Whatever outline is come up with, it needs to be communicated party-wide and all party members need to be informed that if they want the support of the Republican Party, if they want to be able to use the Republican tag behind their name, they need to “toe the party line” and support the parties agenda. The strength of the Democratic Party is their unity behind their beliefs and goals. We need to find a way to bring that unity to the GOP. We can no longer afford “RINOs” like Senator Snowe and Senator Collins from Maine or “Mavericks” like Senator John McCain of Arizona. We need party members who are going to act in accordance with the party’s plans and goals and the party’s plans and goals need to be developed around sound Constitutional principles of limited, restricted government and high moral values.

Once we have everyone on the same sheet of music, we need to screen individuals for acceptability to run for president. We need to find true conservatives with strong leadership abilities and no skeletons in their closets. We need “clean” candidates that all conservatives can get behind and we need to find them before we have 10 or 12 weak Republicans announcing that they are going to run for president. Once picked, the word needs to be put out that all state party headquarters need to support the party’s candidates. We cannot afford to have the Republican vote split apart by infighting and too many candidates. We also need to start right away to build a cabinet for our candidate composed of the best and the brightest minds we can come up with (and these also need to have no skeletons in their closets). We MUST have acceptable, confirmable individuals of the highest moral character if we are going to portray ourselves as the party of high morals and values.

By working to put together a cabinet before the election, after the primaries, it can be announced that we will have a team ready to start addressing all issues immediately upon swearing in. We should also have bills already prepared ahead of time to submit to congress. The American people should be able to read these bills ahead of time so they know exactly what they are voting for when they vote for our candidate. We need to have clear and concise position papers on all of the issues that can be accessed online. That way there is no way that our candidate’s position can be misconstrued or smeared.

The bottom line here is, America cannot afford for conservatives to get hung up over whether or not we want to be part of the GOP or for us to not have our act together any longer. We need to come together, use the existing party structure to forward our goals and “Git-er-done” for the American people. If we do not, the progressive, liberal, socialistic and Marxist elements within our government will destroy America from within and the America of our youth, the America of “the greatest generation”, the America of individual Liberty, State’s rights and moral world leadership will cease to exist.

I encourage all who read this to forward it to every Conservative and/or Republican leader you can. It needs to get the widest and highest dissemination possible. I have deliberately left the specifics of the “Platform” for our “movement” vague in order for those who institute this plan to be able to shape it to their ideas of what positions on what issues would be most acceptable to the American voters. There are plenty of good, conservative individuals out there (such as former Senator Fred Thompson) that can clearly define what principles and values need to be included. I caution, however, that the mood in America has shifted to a center-right frame of mind and if they choose to take positions that leave them “wiggle-room” to pander to special interest groups or to lean left-ward, they will be rejected by the electorate.

The time for pandering to special interest groups and taking positions on issues that are wishy-washy and allow for them to later be “interpreted” differently is over. We need strong leadership and clear positions on the issues. We need a leadership structure that will work to convince ALL conservatives, Republican or not, and ALL conservative oriented organizations such as the hundreds of “Tea Party” groups to FINALLY work together and stand firm in supporting positions and a plan to SAVE AMERICA!

For those of you that consider yourselves moderate Obama voters, for those of you that didn’t vote in 2008 because you didn’t like either candidate, and of those of you that now are part of the majority in most every poll that “disapprove” of Obama’s handling of the country, this is what you wanted.  You are as much to blame, accessory’s, co-conspirators, etc.  You are at least partially to blame for this mess, with your inability to make educated, rational decisions you have allowed the federal government to become one of the top five employers in the US.  You have allowed the federal government to thwart the constitution at every turn. 

 

We can only hope that many of you who have created this mess feel some of the pain perpetrated by those you have selected so that you may be educated and learn from this experience so that you not don’t make the same mistake again but help educate others to not make the same mistakes.  In the mean time we’ll pray that there are still a few people strong enough to hold back the tides of socialism a little longer, but there are cracks in that dam and water is beginning to seep through….
