Why should we ask all congressional leaders to resign when we had a true Republican named Ron Paul, running for the Presidency only to be called a quack by his own party and ignored by major media. It looks to me like it's the people of this country with the problem of understanding truth. People are so wrapped up with celebritism that they have a hard time distinguishing the difference between fiction and reallity! But let's not be upset over this election, but instead let's focus our attention on the Democrats who now control it all. If nothing changes, I will become a member of the constitutional party and there I will remain!

Conservatives have proven that they do not want a Moderate, they want a "stand in the gap" kind of Leader. The RNC had better get that message loud and clear.

I am very upset with the RNC and voiced my concern to them yesterday via email. While I understand that Mr. McCain had to present a concession speech - he sounded like but did not need to wave a white flag. He is the spokesman for the base at the moment - he needed to provide a stronger case: that while we lost, and although we will certainly work with the new president, we will not be "run over". We still have our core beliefs. Even though the electorial vote difference was large - the general vote difference was not. We need a stronger candidate.

Dear Richard, I ran against the incumbent republican Governor in the State of Utah this year to get ready for a retry in four years. I went as far as the state convention which is where I wanted to be so people would know my name. Here is my plan to move things back to where they should be. First we need to become independent of the Federal government financially. To do this the people of the state need to increase their income four times in the next 4 years. I have created an Adult Education Club that will accomplish this. Next we need to get rid of parties so I will run for governor with no party affiliation. Then we need to teach other states how to do the same. The public school system in Utah will be phased out over 4 years. The 20,000 plus people now employed in the system will be set up as research specialist. The students will be given the opportunity to apply for work as apprentice in research and other businesses. We need to teach how to do this to other states. Once we have a group of states that no longer are depending on the Federal Government for any financial needs or jobs them we can take down the scale of the Federal Government back to the founding Fathers' instructions. With the increased real education and corresponding income increase we will be able to pay off all of our countries debts and teach other countries how to do the same. In 1975 I made the decision to spend my life in getting a real education and them applying it to making the world tic the way that would enable all of the human family to become prosperous as God intends for His children. The key to this prosperity is in developing real talents. That is the direct opposite of schooling. The technology and talent that will save us from feudalism today are robotics and automation. Our standard of living is directly proportional to the things we do with out thinking about them. This of course is only true when man is free. I have found a new energy source that will take us off of fossil fuels with no need of solar or agriculture scams. The system is tapping the energy that we are submerged in and runs the whole universe. It is done simply by using an noble gas mix and exciting it to a point where it captures the energy in the Aether. For more knowledge of this see http://www.glafreniere.com/matter.htm It is clean and free. What will man do when robots are doing most of the work? Find more work for the robots to do! With this new hope real families will become the want and desirous of all young people and we can truly put the devil out of commission. So in your efforts to make change if you are really true to God and not another scam consider what is written here. Sincerely, Chuck Smith

"The GOP should also embrace the fact that we need to have a proper energy policy in this country -- that means a true "Manhattan Project" to invest in and find alternative energy sources (we already have a lot of them -- geothermal, wind, solar -- they all just need more investment and backing)." Too late, Obama will already have done that - did you not bother to check out his platform before voting against him? Modern neo-conservatism is dying out because it serves a few at the cost of many, plain and simple. Nation-building is not "conservative." Growing government like Bush 43, Bush 41, and yes, your beloved Ronald Reagan did, is not "conservative." Spying on Americans without any oversight is not "conservative." I checked out this site because I heard Viguerie thinks Palin is the future of true conservatism and the GOP. HA HA HA HA! Yes, please run her for President in 2012! If you think a vacuous person who attracts the least-educated and most-bitter faction of America is the future of your party, you deserved W! America is evolving beyond your base tactics and immoral greed. BYE BYE!

The Republican movement is dead. Seems to be the mantra of the median since the Presidential election. Even while the liberalism celebrates in their feeding frenzy of their new leader, they just can’t resist sticking in the knife in conservatives everywhere. Just what happened? Where are the Republicans? Republicans are exactly where they have been for almost a decade, hiding under the table, one foot in the Democratic party, apologizing for getting in the way of the slide to the left. Republicans are no longer the party of smaller government, lower taxes, and the real “power to the people.” We have become the party of compromise, the ones who lower our standards to “work together.” Democrats do not compromise, they brow beat Republicans into submitting to their ways. We have become the party of giving instead of taking, the status quo instead of standing firm. We are the party without a spine! I sit in utter disbelief, watching my country practically implode on itself, voting for a candidate for change. No substance, just “change”. Change for the sake of change? It’s the same as going to a restaurant and ordering whatever someone else picks. We put our blind faith in a person who we do not know, but assume he or she will do the right thing for us? I say NO, NEVER! I look at my party, once the proud party of Ronald Reagan, and see it in shambles. I see Senators and Representatives leaving in shame, or retiring to make a buck. At such a crucial time in our country, with an ongoing war overseas, and another war with the left wing, I see Republicans such as Pete Dominici retire, and watch another conservative seat fall into the left’s hands. I see Trent Lott, great statesman he was, leave his post, and the left almost get his seat. Even in my home, I see Richard Baker, a staunch conservative, and strong voice in the House, retire to run a hedge fund? When did money become more powerful than the commitment these people made to uphold their conservative values in Washington? To these Republicans, I say SHAME ON YOU! You have abandoned your party for comfort or money, and left us during our greatest time of need! You decided in the midst of the battle of left and right to lay down your arms and give up the fight! SHAME ON YOU! Now, with the party in disarray, where do we turn? Conservatives feel abandoned by our “pseudo” leadership, or lack of. We are not a centrist party, we believe what we believe! Strong defense, smaller government, lower taxes, no legislating from the bench! The heartland of America, the breadbasket of the world, has not wavered, only our elected representatives have! We are given the choice of a leftist, or a right leaning centrist candidate. We only are given the choice not to vote for someone, but only to vote against the other. Where are our leaders? Where are the minutemen of old? Conservatives should be willing and able to stand by our principles no matter what. We don’t compromise, we don’t surrender, we don’t quit until we win. The House of Representatives in 1994, the year of the Republican Revolution, knew what it meant to stand up and be counted. They stood their ground, despite a lack of support from their counterparts in the Senate, as well as the White House. Unfortunately, they did not achieve their goals and promises, no thanks again to the Senate, and the Revolution died as quick as it started. Now, it’s time for conservatism to rise from the ashes. We are down, but not out. There are leaders who still champion conservative values, but they are not a household name. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin seems to be the only one out “showing the colors” of conservativism. There are other bright spots, such as Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, and now “liberal Republican’s” favorite whipping child, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. If this does not show mainstream conservatives that our “Republican” members are as dysfunctional as they come, I don’t know what will. Thomas Jefferson said “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Conservatives need to stand by this, not in terms of loss of life, but with their political lives. It may not be the popular thing to do, to stand for what we believe is right, and may be political suicide in some instances, but we must stand up to the left, no matter the cost. This congress should be the most obstructionist in history. We don’t have much power, but we have the gift of the filibuster, and should use it every turn of the hand. We must stop the liberal advance at any cost. There can be no compromise, no defeatism, no nothing. This is our line in the sand. If conservatism is indeed dead, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain. American, do not lose hope, all is not lost, the radical right will rise again!

I saw John Boehner last night on television, and he said that Republicans had learned their lessons. He says that "we" should reach out to African-Americans and Latino's, etc. . . . Poor John still doesn't get it. Developing race-based programs in an attempt to woo African Americans and Latinos into the party further deepens the hole that the Republicans have dug for themselves and makes Republicans look more and more like big-government, pandering Democrats (if such were possible). Smaller, less expensive, and less intrusive government with balanced budgets and pay-downs on the debt, benefit us all -- regardless of race. I call upon John Boehner to resign.

John McCain has been "unabashedly conservative"?? He favored lax border security and a fast-track to citizenship for ILLEGAL aliens. I think he supported Medicare Part D (hopelessly expensive and socialistic). He was anything but a deficit hawk, and he voted for a pork-laden bailout bill after saying he wouldn't do so. John McCain gave that shameless Republicrat in the White House a thumb's up at virtually every turn.
