That is the only place where the true conservatives have a say. Rove and the establishment are all pissed that an alleged ding bat was nominated in Delaware. Ok. So next time don't try to install some RINO that can't beat a dingbat. <br /><br />Now if conservatives win congress, that is when the real work starts. From day one the tea party will have to begin mounting challenges to republican incumbents. That's because many will get caught up in the Washington party life and stray left. These republicans need to know from day one their jobs are at risk. <br /><br />Notice that I am focused on republicans. That's because republicans that move left do more damage than a democrat that is already left. Republicans like Mike Castle are like a fox guarding the hen house. It's best to have people that vote left to have a D next to their name. Otherwise the bad results of leftist policy gets blamed on Republicans and ultimately conservatism. That is what happened with Bush. By all accounts his spending policy was very much like a democrat. And those policies contributed to the economic earthquake in 2008. Yet most of the public still believes he was a heartless spending hawk and that the solution would be unchecked spending. How's that working out?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
