Excellent ideas. Problem facing Conservatives is that in many cases we can’t work with the local and state level Republican party organizations because they are controlled by Rockefeller Liberal Republicans. And Liberal lite lost the election this month.

Wisdom – you were right on track. Interesting how the naysayers love to flock around truth!

The Palin farce is already the stuff of legend. [but] John McCain’s choice was not a fluke, or a senior moment, or an act of desperation. It was the result of a long campaign by influential conservative intellectuals to find a young, populist leader to whom they might hitch their wagons in the future. And not just any intellectuals. It was the editors of National Review and the Weekly Standard, magazines that present themselves as heirs to the sophisticated conservatism of William F. Buckley and the bookish seriousness of the New York neoconservatives. After the campaign for Sarah Palin, those intellectual traditions may now be pronounced officially dead.

“Dead” in the sense you won’t see it again for another generation.

No way will you ever get back in Congress, Senate or presidency. The Obama’ vicious machine is too big to beat. Money comes from all terrorist’s countries… money wins elections. Plus all the illegal immigrants, the dead, the Mickey Mouse characters who will be voting and the MSM praising Obama, you will loose. There is no way you can make a comeback, it is OVER. You had to stop the bum before, now it is too late. Sorry to tell you this but this is reality. Your country is toasted for ever, unfortunately!

It will take a civil war to get rid of the democrat’s trifecta in the White House. That is your only chance.

I couldn’t agree more. The election is over. We need to regroup and redouble our efforts. Conservatives are in for a rough two years, but we have to stay united in our vigilance to advance a conservative agenda. If we give up now we will lose what little precious ground we have gained.

America wants balance and I wholeheartedly believe that in two years there will be a big turnover in the house and senate. Two years of liberal rule will be enough for Americans and they will restore balance to the system.

The conservative organizations that have been tried and true to the cause are going to be key to keeping congress in check. We have to get behind them and add voices to those insisting on small government and lower taxes. . I go to the US Chamber site often and I found this video and the message is right on. . .

Wisdom;
Being Indy, I may not agree with every word of your presentation, but I’m not going to cut brass tacks. It is your party after all. I was willing to go with you all with Palin on board and I’ld do it again come 2012 if she gives it another go.

The problem with our legislature is it’s rife with career politicians, the corrupt, unscrupulous, and lawyers (who tend to fall into all those other categories. I disagree slightly with Steve on point 4. Some of our greatest politicians were just regular folk with good common sense that stood up and said, “Dammit, those people have gone and pissed me off long enough. I’ve got something to say about it.” That’s what put Reagan in the Governor’s seat in California and the presidency, and it’s the same thing Palin brought to the table. You don’t have to come up through the ranks. You just need to have some wisdom, fair-to-middlin’ intelligence, know basic right from wrong, and enough smarts to know when someone’s blowing smoke up your fanny. That’s why people think Joe the Plumber could do just dandy in a Congressional seat. Hell, I wouldn’t mind givin’ it a shot myself once I don’t have to worry about going cross-country all the time jumpin’ from one family crisis to another. I still have some good years left in me, even with a weak ticker.

How often have we seen politicians on a ballot run unopposed because nobody had the cohones to throw their hat into the ring? How many have seen that single name on a ballot and voted for them, as much as you despised them, because they were the only person running and you didn’t want to waste a vote? You do know you didn’t have to vote for them don’t you? You could have left that blank and moved on. If they don’t get any votes, they can’t win can they? You ever voted for someone else because they were the only person running against someone you hated and you certainly didn’t want them sitting in that chair again? Me too. That’s my point. There was an election 2 years ago where people hated one of the guys so badly they voted in a dead guy and his wife took the job on his behalf.

#5? Absolutely light a fire under the school boards. If you want to change the schools and get rid of the socialists, don’t vote for teachers for school board positions. Teachers are members of the teacher’s union and like all unions it’s mostly more about politics than their damned jobs. Do you have any idea how many of those teachers went to college and were taught there to be socialist indoctrination specialists? And by all means, attend the PTA and open board meetings and voice your opinion. They don’t meet that all that often. To tell the truth, you don’t even have to have a kid in the school. You’re a taxpayer and you are paying for it the same as everyone else. So you have a right to voice your opinion on what the schools are shoving out their doors and onto your community streets.
