How much more
Really, is there much more you need from these “conservative” republicans?
Grover Norquist, the California Republican Party, and an open-borders debacle continued
Last June, I noted the mortifying open-borders debacle in the California Republican Party. Michael Kamburowski, an Australian immigrant who served as the California Republican Party’s chief operating officer, resigned last summer after the SFChron reported that he had been “ordered deported in 2001,…[snip]
A former California Republican Party official who resigned last year in a controversy over his immigration status had no valid visa or work permit during his high-profile career as a Washington lobbyist for conservative icon Grover Norquist, newly filed court records show.
Is it any wonder conservatives are fed up with party leadership? These people are incompetent, sloppy, arrogant–and they couldn’t care less about following immigration laws.
And this is no coincidence: Republican Party registration is down in California. The party is in turmoil and in debt as it heads into its annual spring convention. Via the SacBee, the California GOP will decide whether to hold to a conservative agenda or turn into a California Democrat Party-lite: [snip]…Records show Republican registration in the state has dropped from 35.6 percent to 33.3 percent since 2004 as more voters seek independent status unaffiliated with any party. Democrats suffered only a 0.2 percent decline over the same period.
Move to the center? Become more like Democrats? Join the global warming fear-mongering crowd? Adopt “centrist” social positions? Marginalize conservatism as “divisive” and “strident?”
Yeah, that’ll boost GOP donations and registrations!
We need to form the Libertarian/Conservative party and pull the plug on the RINO’s and moderates. Start the ball rolling with a (W)right in Romney campaign in the general election.
This will provide one with a positive vote.

The incipient socio/political groundswell that’s just now getting the attention of RichterReader Liberals is US true conservatives!
Expect to see a phalanx of new cardboard candidates conspicuously propped up wherever strong activity is located. They will be indentified by the suffix “-I”. They will be lawyers, and probably Unitarians as they walk the earth. They will be introduced as moderates, in the “Hope” that the politically comatose will know them as vote-worthy.
They will NOT run as Liberals.
Lawyers AND Unitarians! That’s one heck of a parlay, Helen.
Parties are factions, which means that they represent and advance a set of beliefs. The thin gruel that Republicans have dished out is all the more disgusting because it contains nothing except gas bubbles.
Bush and the rest of them might have had some curiosity about the 30% approval rating, instead of beating their chests because Congress’s rating was half lower. Morons. It’s like having only one venereal disease rather than the spectrum, and being proud of it.
The lot of them have created the Obama hysteria because we’ve had four years of restlessness and dissatisfaction, and a pervasive and deserved hatred for the political class.
Mainers, we’ve got it goin’ on down in Portland this coming Tuesday, after work…

Let’s get this thing growling in low gear…
From Boston.com, Feb. 23, 2008:
“Anderson Dos Santos, 30, of Newark, appeared in U.S. District Court on Thursday after being charged with harboring or transporting illegal aliens. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000……”
Dos Santos allegedly told a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent that it was well-known in the Brazilian immigrant community in New Jersey that it was easy for illegal aliens to get driver’s licenses in Maine. The state does not require proof of citizenship or proof of residency to get a driver’s license.

“Five of the eight Republican and Democratic candidates to replace Democratic Rep. Tom Allen, who is leaving his House seat to challenge Collins for her spot in the Senate, were panelists. The forum was organized by two groups that support efforts to impeach President Bush over what they see as widespread abuse of executive authority….
…Protesters targeted Allen’s Portland office for sit-ins four times last year, and were outraged when he said on multiple occasions that an impeachment drive would cut into time needed to address other issues: health care, global warming and the war in Iraq.”

Please remember, folks, it was these Far-Left people who hosted the venue down in Portland on Tuesday night. Non-Far Left People are correct in suspecting the debate questions might have been composed with debate content-control as the necessity from the hosts’ vantage point. It was in response to…“a question from the audience about the interrogation technique, in which interrogators pour water over prisoners’ faces to make them feel as if they are drowning…” that Dean forthrightly answered (with courage) he “does not believe waterboarding, the controversial interrogation tactic, is torture.”
I have not read nor have I heard the totality of the debate but opinion sample as represented in the comments to this Portland Herald article highlights the net effect of political pounce power. If we permit them distraction-authority over us the Far-Left will not permit Maine’s Money Mess, the Immigration Issue and all the others that are vital to us traditional voters to take center stage. We can set the stage too! We can relentlessly support and encourage conservatives like Dean who are personally willing to put up with the Battle by speaking up and by pushing the issues that matter most to us…non-obtusely, the full 180!
After all…We are the People and We have the Power.
