Conservative Leaders Warn Critics Of Sen. Jim DeMint “Lay off’em, or else!”


The battle between Conservatives Republicans and Establishment/RINO/Democrat-Lite Republicans has begun!

I get calls from the RNC and NRSC almost on daily basis. And what I say to them is this, “Tell your bosses to start backing real conservatives! Until then, you want get a dime from me and I’ll contribute directly to the candidates I prefer!”

Click!

What these Washington-infected Republicans have to learn very quickly is that the conservative tidal wave that swept through congress on Election Day still has plenty of water left to sweep away the remaining RINOs in congress the next election cycle and the next after that.

So what if Christine O’Donnell, Ken Buck, and Sharon Angle lost. As previously reported on The Last Tradition, Jim DeMint said as follows:
“I don’t want the majority back if we don’t believe anything," DeMint said

That’s the rub in the argument.

As a party we need to get rid of the Lindsey Graham and Lisa Murkowski-type Republicans who are undistinguishable from Liberal Democrats on key issues affecting the country.

Ronald Reagan preached bold colors not pale pastels to offer the people a real choice at the ballot box.

The lesson of the Christine O’Donnell in Delaware isn’t that Mike Castle had a better chance of winning.

The conservative cause doesn’t need another Northeast version of Charlie Crist with an R at the end of his name.

What needs to be done is to better educate the electorate in the East and West Coasts on conservatism and fight for those votes and not compromise conservative principles.

It’s much harder work. But, the future of the country is worth it.

ABC News News, The Note reports that prominent conservative leaders are putting critics of Sen. Jim DeMint on notice: Stop blaming the South Carolina Republican for the GOP’s failure to take back the majority in the Senate -- or else.

Led by Richard Viguerie, who heads the Web site ConservativeHQ.com, a group of three dozen high-profile DeMint backers, say they will respond to the senator’s detractors “in word and deed.”

“Conservatives will not only challenge and beat more Republican senators in Republican primaries, but conservatives will stop funding and volunteering for the NRSC and the RNC,” Viguerie wrote in a letter addressed to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn and Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.

“Instead, conservatives will send their money to, and volunteer for, Senator DeMint’s Senate Conservative Fund and the candidates Senator DeMint supports.”

And Viguerie and his counterparts didn’t stop there:

“It would be our goal for the Senate Conservatives Fund to raise more money than the NRSC,” the letter continues. “Conservatives will also work to defeat in Republican primaries those Republicans who retain consultants who criticize or try to undermine Senator DeMint.”
DeMint has been taking heat from some members of the Republican Party for endorsing anti-establishment primary candidates like Delaware’s Christine O’Donnell and Colorado’s Ken Buck, who ended up losing their general election contests in places where Republicans thought they otherwise could have prevailed.

Jim DeMint on GOP: 'I don’t want the majority back if we don’t believe anything' = Conservative Reformation


Sen Jim Demint is one of if not the best conservatives in the senate who is not afraid to stand up for Conservatism-period.

Many GOPers like Karl Rove and others have been exposed as comfortable Washington insider Republicans who don’t want genuine Ronald Reagan conservative (Tea Party) taking over the GOP.

Tough toenails boys and girls because that’s exactly what’s happening and either you get on board or you’ll be kicked to the curb like Mike Castle.

The Hill reports that GOP Sen. Jim DeMint said his party is on track to become stronger ideologically with O'Donnell's win over Castle.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who endorsed Tea Party favorite Christine O'Donnell in Delaware's Republican Senate primary, said he's content with the GOP staying in the minority if the party doesn't stand for any principles.

DeMint's party argued before O'Donnell's victory that she could not win a general election in Delwarare, and polls suggest Democrat candidate Chris Coons will defeat O'Donnell in November.

But DeMint, the leader of the Senate Conservatives Fund, said the GOP was on track to being a stronger party ideologically with her victory.

“I don’t want the majority back if we don’t believe anything," DeMint said on Fox News. "So I think if we want the numbers, if we want the majority, then we’re going to have to stand on some principles that the American people believe in.”

The point is America needs more Jim Demint Republicans (True Conservatives) instead of Lindsey Graham RINOs which is the same thing as an Obama Democrat.

The Progressive Agenda is Dying in America Thanks Barack Obama


Liberals are in a state of shock walking like zombies because they actually believed that America had gone socialist with the election of Barack Obama.




I didn’t believe it for a second despite the mainstream media pushing Obama-mania with all its atmospherics and soaring rhetoric.



I tried to warn friends and family that there was no “there” there.

All they were seeing was a very carefully crafted blank slate. It was brilliantly designed so that anyone could project what they though Barack Obama represented.

Facts were pushed aside and the only that was important were emotions.

How Obama made people feel was more important than his lack of executive experience, it was more important than his Marxist belief system, it was more important than his association with unrepentant terrorists, it was more important than his 20 year relationship with a pester who teaches biblical hearsay that is deeply rooted in Marxism, it was more important than his closest friend who is now serving time in prison and who was Barack Obama’s chief money man, it was more than Barack Obama championing Infanticide, and it was more important than Barack Obama’s continued insistence even to this day not to release his college transcripts from Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard.

There were as many red flags as rain droplets that caused Noah to build a boat.

But, thanks to the mainstream media, those red flags were left to ripple in the wind and the snake oil continued to flow.

But, every great love affair has a common enemy-time.

Gitmo is still open.

War still raging in Afghanistan and Iraq.

More terrorists attacks on American soil than under George Bush.

Obama refuses to attend National Day of Prayer. This is a huge Christian event and people have drawn their own conclusions.

Obama continually apologizes for his country and bows to foreign leaders.

Obama shepherded Obamacare through congress despite overwhelming disapproval by the American people.

Obama takes over the car industry, the mortgage industry and college loans industry.

Obama does nothing to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon even though he said it would be a game changer if they got one.

With time comes the warts.

Speechifying has never been a substitute for governing and the president has been exposed for what he always was-a fake poser who looks the part but lacks the real goods.

Carl Paladino Dispatches Duck to Stalk Andrew Cuomo


Anything can happen in New York.



Village Voice

Proving that nothing is too stupid in love and politics, Carl Paladino has dispatched a person in a duck suit -- get it, duck? as in, "ducking questions about his position on health care reform"? -- to follow Andrew Cuomo around the state as he campaigns for the New York governorship.

And, as in the worst cases of both love and politics, this is kinda creepy and stalkerish, to say nothing of the poor duck-person, who's likely to have his own health care issue and pass out in so much fur due to this infernal heat (maybe he's got air conditioning in there?).

Of course, when you roll out the ducks, you've got to expect this kind of response: "Carl Paladino sends a duck to a political event?

Of course. Paladino is a quack," says New York Democratic Committee chairman Jay Jacobs. Thank God for puns.

Meanwhile, the ducks are asking why Paladino didn't put a duck in a MAN suit for this whole shtick.

Nixon Grandson Christopher Nixon Cox is Running for Office





Go get’em Chris!


From The National Enquirer:

The grandson of disgraced President RICHARD NIXON is throwing his hat in the political arena - deep in the heart of celeb-ville - The Hamptons.

Not unlike the Kennedys, Clintons and Bush familys,
CHRISTOPHER NIXON COX, 30, will attempt to use the familial legacy to get elected.

He's seeking the GOP nomination in the celeb heavy area of the Hamptons where Christie Brinkley, Billy Joel call home and a hot bed of stars trying to beat the heat during the summer.

In announcing his candidacy, Cox told AP he's well aware of his grandfather, Richard Nixon's "checkered" past,as the only President to resign from office in the wake of the Watergate .

"I've honestly only seen upside at this point. Wherever we go people say that my grandfather was their favorite president," Cox admitted.

Cox is the only son of Nixon's oldest daughter Tricia who wed Edward Cox in a White House ceremony in 1971. The nascent candidate was born in 1979 five years after Nixon resigned.

A lawyer by trade (just like dear ol' granddad) Cox runs a business consulting firm and is one of six Republicans jockeying for the nom in the GOP primary in September.

The Republicans are desperately trying to unseat 4 term Democrat Tim Bishop.

The newest politician on the block who said granddad Dick talked mostly baseball with Cox - The Mets and The Giants - told AP that the late Nixon did provide some advice politically.

"What he would tell me is the only way you lose is if you stay on the floor," Cox said.

"You're going to get knocked down time and time again, but keep coming back. And keep trying. The only time you lose is when you stop trying."

After losing the California gubernatorial election in 1962, Nixon had famously said, "You won't have Nixon to kick around any more anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."

Four years later, he was elected the 37th President of the United States.
