Conservative leaders know that the revival of the conservative movement will be generated through the energy and passion of the grassroots.  Here’s a look at some more of the unprecedented number of comments we’ve received at ConservativeHQ.com in response to Richard Viguerie’s election-related news releases and blog entries.  Take a look and leave a comment of your own.

-    My sentiments exactly!!!

-    Good job, go for it, and I agree. Our country is going to fail rapidly.

-    I agree and will support the boycott of the R. party until I see a change… we have been betrayed. IE: illegal immigrants, border security, and our candidates not telling all the story of their opponents and now look what we’ve elected. Keep me informed.

-    You are absolutely right. They’re done.

-    How about a new grassroots program, DRIP/TBA. Don’t Re-elect Incumbent Politicians. Take Back America! We vote everybody out at the first convenient opportunity, and no one can run for office while holding one. No more that one term at a time, thus no one can spend half their term campaigning for re-election. Maximum on terms, and no one can retire under a pension plan. No more Thurmonds, Kennedys, Byrds or Kerrys.

-    I’m sure you must not have intended to include Dr. Ron Paul in your “All”! He has done all he could do and continues to do so to vote against unconstitutional bills and educate and try to raise up good leaders. With Dr. Paul as an exception, I agree with you concerning the others!

-    Absolutely correct. As was your blog blaming McCain/Rove for the loss. 100% correct. How do we make it happen?

-    I agree, and have thought so for a few years. BUT all of the leadership of the party should resign, including non-elected ones. Perhaps the Republican Party itself should be “started over”, even renamed. The name should not have “con” in it, and the neocons were/are certainly con artists.

-    I fully agree! I have not contributed to the Republican Party in awhile and repeated tell them why.

-    I withdrew my support a long time ago. Support the Libertarian and Independent parties. Support the Free State Initiatives. Support all “Invest in (state name) initiatives”. Support Alaska’s secessionist movement. Support anything but the Republicrats for they are the traitors to the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

-    Now we’re getting someplace.

-    I agree. The GOP will not get another dime from me.

-    Your key phrase here, as I see it, is “principled conservatives”. Good luck in finding some. Things would have been a lot better off in the last eight years if some principled conservatives had been at the helm of our government instead of some people misusing the terminology in order to pull the wool over the nation’s eyes while they trampled on every conservative tenet in the book. Like the old phrase says, being inside of a church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than being inside a garage makes you a car.

-    I agree with you 100%. We need more Jeb Hensarlings in the House, DeMints in the Senate, and Bobby Jindals in the governorships. It all starts from the grassroots level. Republicans will be back in power, that is “real” Republicans (Reagan-like principled conservatives). I say this too because there is no way on God’s green earth that freedom loving Americans are going to put up with any far left, radical nonsense that Obama and the Obama mania team of Biden, Pelosi, Reed, Dean, etc… may in all likelihood stuff down our throats. We are a center to the right country.

I’m hopeful for the future. We live in the greatest country on Earth!!!

There was a silver lining as a result of the election… Traditional marriage amendments passed in California, Arizona, and Florida; a definite victory for righteousness and conservativism. Praise God and the awesome institution of marriage He created!

I hope we have the opportunity to vote to protect and preserve marriage in New Jersey.

-    We need you to keep at it. This time is critical and we need your expertise and skill to return the GOP to Reagan’s best.

-    We Conservatives need you or someone with the tools to organize us. We are scattered, we are not a group, and more than ever we need to organize. We weren’t organized enough even in an election. WHAT will happen when the Fairness Doctrine is reinstated? What will happen when they come for our guns? Please organize us. I believe we need to organize the ability to have a militia immediately. I will personally die before they turn us socialist and they will.

-    I’ll tell you what is wrong with the Republican Party, at least here in Alaska. It has been co-opted by Liberals. Our state legislature is full of Liberals who run as Republicans because Democrats can’t get elected in most districts. Then they go to Juneau and act like Liberals, vote for higher business taxes, more state government, and join forces with Democrats even when they had majorities, leaving the actual conservatives in a minority. We need to deny practicing Liberals the right to call themselves Republicans. John McCain is a good example, and also a good example of a Liberal Republican. If we had nominated a real conservative for the presidency and ignored the moderates, I believe the conservative base would have produced a victory.
