Let's Not Get Too Late Schmart!

Ah, the old sayings, so full of wisdom....Too Soon Old, Too Late Schmart...How true it is.

Fellow freedom fighters, let's not make that same mistake in our efforts to take our country back.

Today I came across an article in WaPo titled "With midterms approaching, GOP outmatched by Democrats on campaign funds"

"The Republican Party's strategy since early last year of lock-step opposition to the Obama administration's major legislative initiatives has proved to be less bankable than some party leaders may have anticipated.

With eight months to go before congressional elections, House and Senate Democratic candidates exceed in virtually every important campaign fundraising category. Democratic House lawmakers appear likely to reverse their seven-cycle record of being outspent by House Republicans, according to recent finance reports.

Democrats in both chambers are enjoying the traditional advantages of majority-party status -- and then some. They lead in donations by political action committees, by committees affiliated with the national political parties or with House and Senate leaders, and in individual contributions to incumbent lawmakers. In some instances, their lead exceeds what the Republicans had when that party controlled both chambers in the 2005-06 midterm election cycle.


To no surprise, analysts differ by party on the causes and significance of the disparity. Some Republicans say a donations surge may still come in the campaign's final months, particularly as the party courts new, small donors outside Washington. They also complain that donations to party stalwarts have been affected by internal squabbles with rebellious tea partiers, which they hope will end soon."


In our desire to return to our roots, to our constitutional values we all hold so dear, we are failing to realize the political realities of the near future. The consequences of our stubborn rebellion and anger will be our undoing if we are not very careful to turn that old Irish saying around on ourselves VERY QUICKLY. We need to become Very Soon Schmart!

While we want absolutely no liberal leaning in our candidates, we cannot have that...that is akin to a perfect world and if by our age, we don't realize that nothing is perfect, then we lose.

If we are to have a hope of at least not funding the healthcare bill, to unseat Pelosi, Reid and every other democrat who voted for this monstrosity of a freedom stealing bill and to destroy Obama's plan, getting him out of office in 1022 days in order to repeal this bill, then we must unite and we MUST be smart about it. As much as we may hate the thought of electing a less than perfect candidate, we are stuck with two parties, lest you forget Bush 1 losing to Clinton because of Perot.

Later; after we get this whole team out of office, elect a conservative president, and repeal this bill; then we can look at reforming the GOP as Reagan did in the 60's. Until then we must be content and resigned to color inside the lines. Until then, if you are a Reagan Democrat, work within your party, join your precinct, take back your party and you Reagan Republicans, Reagan Libertarians, Reagan Independents, do the same thing. If we 180 or so Million Conservatives(assuming by the latest polls that 60% of us are now awake) who don't like what is happening to our country, with the healthcare bill, the EPA regulations circumventing our constitutional process as it turns Global Warming into redistributive law and all the rest of their socialist progress can't turn it around in a single election cycle, then we deserve exactly what we get.

We must stop beating up on our own. Remember what Reagan said...never speak ill of another Republican! Don't buy the MSM efforts to discredit the GOP chairman regardless of whether it bothers you that someone took the YR to a lesbian S & M joint or not....the Dems have done MUCH worse, but they don't eat their own.

The progressives will win if we do not learn this lesson quickly. We need to get off the chairman's back, we need to shrug it off, ask him to take better care and to realize there are infiltrator's that he is dealing with in his organization the same as there are infiltrator's we are dealing with. Stop the sibling rivalry and win this one for the Gipper, friends -or risk losing our country - perhaps forever. So open your checkbooks, work to get the best Republican you are handed elected, ignore the Tea Party infiltrators from the bowels of Harry Reid's evil devises, forgive the less than perfect for their wrong and once in, hold them to the right!

Remember who the true teabaggers are and they are not us, they are those very same infiltrators made destructive by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

I wish I could post the following video directly into the site, but apparently PJTV doesn't allow us to do that. Regardless, this video says it all - please watch it and please consider it deeply.

To Hoffman or Not To Hoffman?

NY’s 23rd District Candidate Doug Hoffman Gave an Excellent Interview Under a Very Tough Opening Question while the Tea Party Express Endorsed Hoffman Yesterday in spite of Gingrich’s Tough Talk.

Mr. Gingrich simply isn’t getting the message the Tea Partiers are trying so hard to send.

Conservatives don’t want “moderate Republicans”, we want conservative candidates. Whether that means we have to risk losing a few races now, or we actually succeed and win it, the effort will mean a win for conservatives, because before the GOP gets it, they must understand we mean business. We must get the message across that we will not be controlled by fear-mongering any longer.

In trying to insure we listen to him by calling it “a win for Pelosi” if we back Doug Hoffman for NY23, Gingrich is doing that very thing. He is creating fear to control the segment of the population he needs to control. It is wrong and it has to stop.

I’m sorry Mr. Gingrich, but you kicked that dog the moment you walked away from your Contract With America. We don’t believe you are THE conservative voice anymore. Once burnt, twice shy…all that.

You certainly are not the conservative voice at this moment Mr. Gingrich, right now you are simply toeing the party line and we all know it. You, Mr. Steele and the GOP really need to understand the party line no longer cuts it with us. The Sleeping Giant is AWAKE!

Right now Mr. Gingrich, Mr. Hoffman is the conservative voice and all of conservative America is climbing behind him because his is the first meaningful election since we gave our country away last year. You then essentially say that we have no business being involved in this race, and by saying that local elections shouldn’t be attended to by the general population, well, might I remind you that you are not a New Yorker living in Albany and yet you are supporting the liberal moderate RINO Scozzafava, as is the RNC who so relentlessly pursues our dollars….

When exactly are we supposed to be concerned with the Congresspersons being elected? Only when you or the GOP tells us to? Perhaps when the RNC takes our donations and floods the playing field for the moderate/liberal ‘conservative’ with our dollars? Or should it wait until perhaps when they are actually in office signing on to TARP or cozying up to the Spendocrats to spend our money collectively?

No. Politics are changing in America Mr. Gingrich, the people are taking it back. We are awake, we are watching and we are silent no more.Stop fighting us and join us, or we stop buying your books, donating to your causes and listening to you.

It’s that simple.

It’s that real.

You don’t seem to understand that we aren’t Republicans, Democrats or Independents, we are THE people. We are the ones written about in the Constitution. We are U.S. Constitution believing citizens who believe that the founders had it right and we have NO REASON to back away from that.

We know we can’t spend ourselves into “prosperity”, we bought that lie once, and it blew up in our faces. We get that it is just a shiny new phrase that simply means politicians want to redistribute our wealth, obviously to themselves with pay raises, repatriating terrorists, buying up companies, and giving to banks filled with toxic debt! We understand that the government is now in the business of privatizing the gains of the usurped companies at the same time they publicize the losses.

We finally realize that the only difference between the accepted parties at this time is how quickly and to what degree they believe they can achieve the goal of centralized government while ensuring themselves power in perpetuity.

Politicians don’t yet understand that we get it now. That it is simply a question of what level of socialism they are trying to bring to bear upon us, not whether or not it will be crammed down our throats.

We believe we CAN fix these problems as capitalists, we can still work with other countries (been doing so for centuries) without the UN's involvement. We CAN still have tolerance (as long as you will afford us the same luxury) but we cannot support huge centralized government or lose our sovereignty over who is the turtle and who is the rabbit as far as bankrupting us and our country goes.

Take a minute Mr. Gingrich to listen to the shocking Dobbs video from October 26th, 2009 and the 45th anniversary week of this Reagan speech from Tuesday to get the message. The difference now is that the threat they both speak of is not external anymore, it is strictly internal within our own government. This is our last best shot to begin to fix the destruction and waste that government, labor and special interest has thrust upon us, and we are going to take that shot.

We simply aren’t doormats anymore. We are awake and we are big.
