Exactly who should be a little tougher, and how should he/she/they do it?

While I agree with your sentiment, I wonder about your ideas on the implementation of it.

Very simple definition, Red, but a good start. Now, how does an “authentic conservative” deal with change?

Like pretty much all political labels, “moderate” has become as worthless as “conservative” and “liberal”.

Why are so many people pro-extremism in that only the most radical and only the “most conservative” candidate will do. How about looking at candidates on what they believe issue by issue and picking the one that most closely resembles your own belief set, tempered with your view of their ethics and competence? You know, use rational thought, instead of throwing out meaningless labels to support a couple of candidates that should probably be in jail, instead of the governor’s mansion.

Been inside Evans head lately? Have any actions or statements by him to back up what you say he thinks?

re:
2 – The character of the candidates: real and imagined; and,

3 – The issues: just kidding! This is just to see if you’re paying attention.

After discovering Ron Paul who’s “clean as a whistle” this whole “bashing Democrats” (which some would prefer apparently) is no longer viable for many. Because the good Doctor represents a NEW STANDARD in ethics and morality. And (for those of you in Rio Linda) since RP was grassroots (no corporate sponsors) then ANY ties with lobbyists, multinational corporations, or so-called “bundlers” represents something rather hideous and disgusting in comparison. So when a politician is getting a happy ending from a lobbyist babe then yeah this is definitely about character and it is an issue because the entire “relationship” is about effecting legislation. Of course the sheeple will continue to debate the boiler plate served up by the mass media and criticize the “outsiders” who ain’t in on the financial orgy. So I guess we’re both on the same page with #1.

And guess who’s covering their hiney? (The Cheney chain gang) You guessed it. It’s this guy.

Hopefully if we still have a country by 2012 Bush and all his cohorts will be busting big rocks into smaller ones down by the river so to speak. And hats off to the British for having a media with some BALLS. Looks like Blair is a lot closer to getting arrested than any of the White House filth.

War crime case against Tony Blair now rock-solid

Yeah I’m all about finding out more. In fact let’s find out more about ALL OF THEM. Also wouldn’t mind a clear concise bio of all the Bushes the Clintons and Obama. Slyram, just wanted you to know I’m “equal opportunity” here.

Was it a “Lewinski” or a “Lew”? Hey I’m just asking. And although I’m not actually a “Jerry Springer” kinda guy always thought we’d have a much better country if more of this stuff were exposed. Ron Paul has proven it’s possible to have honest politicians.

No offense, and I’m probably going to get some negative feedback here but “leadership” from politicians just shouldn’t be something conservatives should be searching for IMHO. In fact, this is in line with Libertarian philosophy too. Of course the mental midgets would confuse this with “anarchy” but in reality, “leadership” from politicians has been shown throughout history as a dangerous concept. “Society” on the other hand functions better without all the “direction” from the politicians.

Or….
(for those of you in Rio Linda) Game Fan is merely “OK with McBerry”. Still waiting to be dazzled by someone.
“The jury is still out” so to speak. And still amazed at all the ass kissers who pile behind this or that candidate.

Red
Another type of conservative would be the type who would like to stop government growth in it’s tracks. Because the “beast state” has to keep growing in order to survive. It has to grab an increasing portion of a shrinking economy. Otherwise it will eventually be dwarfed by free markets, competition, innovation and productive Americans who don’t have time for political barbecues.

Bill Stephens was a horrible candidate. I supported Karen for Sec of State where her positions of social issues were irrelevant to her job. I wish some of people would have stayed in their current positions and not tried to rise above their skill set.

Anyone that knows Karen Handel knows what an advocate she is for life issues. Of the candidate, she is the only one who has ever participated in a pro-life rally or demonstration she feels so strongly about the issue.

What’s unfortunate is some close minded people feel that unless you are with them lock stock and barrell then you’re actually pro-choice. They can’t handle that Karen Handel won’t sign their pledge and that she has exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. They would rather buy the lip service they get from the frauds then the sincerity they get from Karen Handel.

Wrong facts – HAVA requires Citizen Verification. Prior to Obama, the Bush Justice Deparment had the matter handled by careers and there were no issues.

Randy Evans thinks that we should not have citizen verification and that illegals should be able to vote.

Obama wins and politicals are now handling the legal matter with citizen verification and are using Georgia as a test case to throw out HAVA and open the doors to illegals being able to vote across the country.

Karen Handel, easily recognized as one of the best Secretary’s of State in the entire country, was standing strong for our democracy and the integrity of the voter registration process.

The only Georgia governor from Fulton County was Lester. I do not think Karen will be the second. The rest of the state is suspect of Fulton county Republicans even though Fulton county is the wealthiest and best connected county organization. Karen would have to move to the right to out maneuver those who are concerned that she is a moderate. When I know that she is not liberal and not as much of a moderate as her critics say, she is to most moderate of the current candidates for Governor. This perception that she is a moderate will prevent her from making any headway among those who fall over themselves supporting wing nuts like Broun and Westmoreland out in the hinterlands.

Dumbass, I mean Jeff, your facts aren’t right. Come back again when you have your facts right.
