It is sad to me that it has come this. But, America has spoken. A majority of your fellow citizens decided this is the direction they wanted. The young, especially, are clueless as to what they have actually done. But, what is done is done.
So, no whining
Sure, there was voter fraud. But, be honest, it did NOT cost us the election. The margins were too big. We lost - the Dems won. Whining only cheapens us.
Deal with your grieve - and get past it quick
I suggest we share grieving process with like-minded individuals. Your liberal friends will gloat, the trolls will stop by your blogs. Let that kind of thing roll off your back. Just grin and bear it - it will be short lived.
We need to look to the future
As Conservatives and Patriots, we need to deal with it and get moving on planning our path forward.
Work towards 2010
BHO is a fact of life until 2012. We have another round of elections in 2 years. We need to work like hell to improve our position in that cycle.
We need to stand against any and all BAD ideas
We need to minimize the coming damage. To do to this, we need to help our weak-kneed, moderate, and 'bi-partisan' Senators grow a spine and a set. (And, yes, I include McCain in this group). The Senate is the only firewall standing between us and a complete train-wreck. So, let us take a while to settle ourselves. I a couple weeks, let's start planning a communication strategy to solidify our Conservative network. Then, let's start using the our network to influence our Senators.
On the, slightly, good news front - we will have at least 43 (probably 44) Senate seats. OOPS --- UPDATE... We are down do 42 at most. Run-off in GA, and Franken in Minn. If (big if) the Republican Senators hang together, the can stop a LOT of the Liberal agenda.
- They need to filibuster the Fairness Doctrine. (Oops - I was wrong here. The Fairness Doctrine can be re-imposed by a rule change at the FCC. The FCC will have a 3-2 balance of Democrats sometime in the first quarter 2009).
- They need to filibuster the Employee Free Choice act
- They need to filibuster the 'Cap and Trade' scheme gets stopped.
- They need to filibuster any new Gun Control measures
- They need to filibuster any attempt to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act
- They need to filibuster the Freedom of Choice Act.
- Be willing to filibuster judicial appointments. And be willing to stick too it.
Work like hell to completely overhaul the Republican Party
We nee a Conservative republican party. The RINOs had their chance. Bush was never a big C Conservative. The RINOS maimed us 2006. They killed us in 2008. Watching McCain should clarify it: we will never win by moving to the center. We won't win by trying to 'out-nice' the Liberals. We need to help the public understand what conservatism REALLY is
We need to identify and start grooming a Conservative leader. We need a focal point for re-building the Conservative movement. Jindal? Palin? Someone new? Let us not underestimate the size of this task. Look at the Electoral Map. It is truly sickening. Get ready for a long haul, it may well be 2016 before we will re-take the White House. It may take that long before the people really figure BHO out.
