Why The Grassroots Need to Overtake the GOP

It has long been my contention that if we are to return to some sort of sanity in our government, it would be up to those of us on the ground to do so. There is plenty of talk on the web and elsewhere about 3rd parties and going Independent etc., but the reality is that, in order to retake control of the House in 2010, we must utilize the structure and the money of the GOP. However, it is high time that we do what the progressives did to the Democrat party in the early 2000's. We, the grassroots… Continue

Let's Talk Grassroots

You can be assured, without fail, that you will hear every time at any GOP event, the term "grassroots" followed by a bunch of heads vertically nodding to affirm that the Republican Party needs to work on the "grassroots." Then, people will leave the meeting all in agreement that we… Continue

Election 2008 Rewind: NCGOP Chair Linda Daves Addresses the NC-11 GOP Convention

This is a reminder of one of the things that can and should be done by the grass roots (or those who claim to be); to attend political events on the local level and get out the information about them that the local Legacy Media refuse to do...provide the voters with a true and accurate account of the public actions of our political leaders and people running for office. Expensive equipment is not required. I shot these videos with a point and shoot Kodak Z-710, and livestreamed the video with a… Continue

Reverting to my first impression of Obama

I am going back to my first impression of Obama. During the last few months of the campaign, his lifelong association with and mentoring by people who hated America caused me great concern that he was their Trojan Horse. His mission was to penetrate the inner circles of power, and to open the gates for the people who groomed him. But his selection of his new administration, predominantly second-tier retreads from the Clinton and even the Carter administrations, belie that concern. The fact that… Continue

A Populist Prairie Fire From the Right? - Article from RCP

An Article off of RCP today. A really good read. January 12, 2009 A Populist Prairie Fire From the Right? By Rod Dreher Every few generations in America, we go through a "creedal passion period," the late political scientist Samuel P. Huntington taught. Like the Great Awakening of the 1740s and the 1960s cultural revolution, these are times of great unrest when the morally outraged masses react against a perceived violation of the American "creed." "Power is now seen as corporate. So the next… Continue

To copy or not to copy...

...the Obama campaign craze of 2008? That's the question I have. Obama was able to get MILLIONS of working class, middle class, upper class, seniors and students to follow him. How does the GOP pull a Reagan effect in this technological time period? Mr. Obama seemed to do it in 2008 and we need to start it now to make it work in 2010 and have a HUGE impact in 2012. We need to REALLY rally students (18-25) those in institutions that are constantly being taught liberal ideals...but who access t… Continue

It's Local

You've heard it before, "all politics is local." Spoken by a talented Boston politician, Tip O'Neal knew politics. Many of you may not be a member of your local Republican ward/town/city committees. Your first step is to join (or start one if it does not exist). Many GOP committees are looking for new activists to help advance the GOP in that area. What does advance the GOP mean? Well, you have tremendous influence when being part of your local committee. I love Morton Blackwell's speech that… Continue

ARE NEW JERSEY REPUBLICANS ROLLING OUT A RED CARPET, WAVING A WHITE FLAG OR BOTH?

Recently, State Senator Sean Kean (R-Monmouth) and Assembly members Mary Pat Angelini (R-Ocean) and Dave Rible (R-Wall) endorsed Chris Christie for the Republican nomination for Governor.

I normally find myself in agreement with those lawmakers, usually.

However in this case I do not approve of their premature endorsement of a candidate who not only ha

"TOO MUCH CORRUPTION BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH GOVENMENT"

POLITICS 24/7 has often stated that not only is state government too big but that there are too many governments in the state. Based on the relatively small size of New Jersey, why there is a need for more than 650 municipal governments, is beyond me. Drive down any road in New Jersey and you will find yourself ent… Continue

WHERE OUR PRIORITIES MUST REALLY BE

After licking our wounds from this past election, the blogosphere is packed with suggestions and commentary regarding how to rebuild the Republican party. Many Republican activists and enthusiasts are debating who will be the face of our party as we go forward. At times I too have been eager to want to put forward a name that best represents us, but doing so does not help us establish the solid foundation that we need to build upon.

Sometimes 58 = 97... or, "On Math, Reagan Wasn't Fuzzy, Wuzzy?"

Here's an interesting little bit of trivia that I've been quizzing some of my like-minded friends with lately: In the 1984 Presidential Election, name all of the states that Reagan lost. You don't have to name all of them, just tell me which states you think that Reagan probably wasn't able to win, and I'll then tell you how many of your guesses are correct. Now, since you are just going to go and Google the answer anyway, let me give you the answer. (drum roll, please) ... Minnesota and Was… Continue
