Six months ago my focus as a conservative was on reforming the Republican Party along the lines of its own credo. I was ready to purge the party of all apostates so that it could be reborn with a renewed purpose and commitment to the goals and beliefs of the founding fathers . That was then, this is now. What has transpired in the interval has caused me to broaden and re-assess what must be the priorities of the conservative movement. America’s largest political party, the Democratic Party, has used its filibuster proof majorities to ramrod radical leftwing legislation through both houses of congress to the awaiting hands of our Marxist President. They have betrayed their conservative campaign pledges of 2008 and have in 2009 made a mockery of our representative government. Large demonstrations, public opinion polls, phones calls and e-mail protests to congressional offices have failed to stem to the Democrats’ wild legislative run to socialist solutions. Clearly the new imperative for those who believe in individual liberty must be to stop the Democrats here and now. The new priority must be to defeat every Democrat candidate in every election in November of 2010. Only this tactic will serve to stem the nation’s plunge towards big government tyranny and American submission/subservience to corrupt UN treaties.
While we must not abandon our efforts to bring our Republican Party back to its principles and then hold it to a steady Reaganesque course we should at all cost avoid any actions that would have the effect of enabling any Democrat victory at the polls.
The Republican Party has been guilty of not living up to its principles and for this they have paid a heavy and well deserved price at the polls. It is unfortunate that as a result power has been transferred to an even more dastardly and determined Democrat Party.
Through/by their autocratic arrogance Democrats have proven themselves unworthy of the public’s trust. By their own lies and misdeed we must now hold them all to account. On this goal we must all unite. In time we, conservatives, will regain control of the Republican Party but for now we must focus on reclaiming the legacy of 1776.

It is not enough to be against Democrats, I need a reason to be for Republicans. I don’t consider myself a D,R or I; but instead an “Anti-Incumbent”. Us against them has turned into the people against the elite politicians. Where is the Republican contract for America?
Dave,
I share you displeasure at what the Republican Party has come to stand for but take heart that our actions as conservatives are moving it back in the right direction. They have stood firm against this health care bill and several other important pieces of extreme legislation. I also am encouraged that the Senate Campaign Committee will not make an endorsement in the Florida Republican senate primary. We are making progress but must remain united to keep to party moving in the right direction. At the same time can one see what is happening in Washington and believe that moderate/liberal Republicans are the real threat to the nation right now? The Democrats and the media want to divide the opposition to their socialist reforms. All who oppose state solutions must unite in time to defeat every Democrat in every election next fall. After we save the nation from the left we can save the party from the career politicians.
I plan to run as a committee person next year. I encourage all conservatives to do the same. We will be showing up at the county meetings and voicing our opinions. We will be vocal, we will be organized and we won’t be fooled again.
