Koskidz on the GOP purge: Let The Civil War Begin
They know a good thing when they see it. If the lefties actually get smart they’re going to start helping the Tea Party nuts.
Uh, he does not seem to grasp the fact that Dede was not even a RINO– she was a closet Dem as evidenced by her turning her back on all the legitimate GOP support she had garnered. This is not a GOP Civil War. But, if the GOP runs the tables tonight, it could be a Dem Civil war as many of them want to be still in office on the first Wednesday of next November. We might be shocked at how fast they move to the center because of tonight’s events.
OK, reset my favorites, and presto. easy enough
Good job, Mighty, and congratulations to the whole team!
Wow this place is BEAUTIFUL!

The new URL makes it a clean break from the past. I haven’t been to LGF in months now and I don’t miss it at all. Election night of ’04 it was the place for me to be, but by early ’09 it had no relevance for me or conservatives/libertarians anymore. This place is a more than suitable replacement.

I genuinely hate ACORN. It is a criminal organization that needs to be busted up by RICO.
What I hate is the LSM ignoring the scandals and hiding the FACT that Obama was up to his ears in cahoots with them and that they DO the kind of ‘COMMUNITY ORGANIZING’ that Obama claims HE did.
I firmly believe that the majority of the frustration and anger shown by the tea-partyers and townhall folks was derived from being ignored, vilified, sneered at and lied to by the LSM and that the LSM REFUSED to say ANYTHING negative about Obama and REFUSED to investigate and report on legitimate concerns about his past, his current(during the campaign) actions (like refusing to abide by the Federal Election Campaign Laws and setting up a donation hotline that allowed FOREIGNERS to contribute to his campaign) his past Socialist/Communist associations, his lack of qualifications, his REFUSAL TO PRODUCE HIS educational records and writings, his constant reversals of his statements made during the campaign, his arrogance, his narcissism, his cronies, his illegal ‘CZARS’, his inaction while OUR SOLDIERS ARE IN HARMS WAY, his complete lack of character. They now ‘OWN’ whatever he does. I am sure that they pray in their newsrooms that he finally does something right. HOW LONG CAN THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR THIS FAKE, PHONY, FRAUD?

Its VERY good.
email paste:
Sometime later this year, we Taxpayers may again receive an Economic
Stimulus Payment. The Obama Administration is very excited about this new
program. Let me try to explain to you how it works using a simple Q and A
format:
Q. What is an Economic Stimulus payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition
TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn’t that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by
spending your stimulus check wisely:
If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China .
If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
If you buy a computer, it will go to India .
If you buy fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and
Guatemala.
If you buy a car, it will go to Japan or Korea .
If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management
bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in America by:
1 Spending it at yard sales, or
2 Going to ball games, or
3 Spending it on prostitutes, or
4 Beer or
5 Tattoos.
These are the only American businesses still operating in the US .
—————-
So, I’m going to go to a ball game and drink beer with a tattooed
prostitute that I met at a yard sale.

Holy smokes! I think I the GOP had something like a six seat majority in the Virginia Assembly before this election. I’m pretty sure it was a slim majority, anyway. From what the election board is reporting, it looks like that margin is going to be at least 21 now.
58 Repubs have won, 37 Dems, 2 independents, and 3 races are still undecided.
I know Barry and the DNC have no interest in this whatsoever, though. It’s just amusing trivia. In any case, I’m sure that if Obama himself had campaigned for all those little Dems, they would have won. Oh yes. Sure.

from the Hoffman war room re the other mccain
10:51 p.m.: Clinton County is more than 75% counted, and the numbers there project well for Hoffman. A campaign source just said, “We’re doing good in Oneida and St. Lawrence [counties], but we don’t know if that’s being reflect in the numbers” being reported on TV.
The top command of the Hoffman campaign is in a private banquet room dubbed “the war room,” where they are crunching the numbers precinct by precinct. It’s already been a longer night than most expected and guests at the party upstairs are getting restless.
Problems are reported with a total of 11 voting machines (4 in St. Lawrence County and 7 in Fulton County). With 63% of precincts reporting, Owens leads 49% to Hoffman’s 44%, a margin of about 3,400 votes, with 5% for Dede Scozzafava. Many military absentee ballots (Fort Drum is in the district) are yet to be counted.

@ Rancher:
The Hoffman race is still undecided, though it looks like Dede (ugh) may get enough votes (5% or so) to let Owens squeak by. If that happens, the GOP in NY-23 just needs to get its act together for 2010.
That New Jersey win is a big one, especially considering how much effort the DNC and Obama put into supporting Corzine.
The GOP swept all the major offices here in Virginia and greatly increased its majority in the state assembly.

@ wolfie:
A couple of us are thinking this, but now is the time for the bluedogs…are you politicians or legislators? Time to work for the nation.
Headed to bed but I wanted to drop a few things about the site:
1. I will be developing some kind of ajax loader for new comments. This will take some time because I have to work for a living and I just dedicated a day and a half to getting this site where it is so it would be an enjoyable experience for people to use. Not sure when I will get this done but it is definitely something I want to do.
2. I will be eliminating some queries where possible, this should help speed things up.
3. I will be implementing a caching plugin to help speed the site up.
4. The numbers on comments seem to be something people here want. This isn’t something that you commonly see on blogs at all, at least not the blogs I am used to reading and WordPress in general doesn’t really implement that kind of system. The previous theme was unusual in the fact that it did implement this so I’ll look and see what was done there. Again, I have to work for a living, so it will take time before I can get it implemented.
5. I have already semi-developed a link-catcher for comments in a thread for “LinkViewer” functionality within a thread. However I think that the LinkViewer might be better served as a totally separate page where more detail can be entered about each link which would create greater value for them in the long run.
6. I don’t know if anyone sees the usefulness of this but we could have a dedicated page where the headlines from popular blogs and news sites could be aggregated so that you could view them all on a single page here on the site … or in the sidebar, or wherever.
7. I still have to flesh out this theme so that it is where it needs to be. The awards put a rush on this and normally I would have probably spent about another two to three weeks working on this so that it was much more complete. I was asked if I could put this live “as is” with the understanding that I would be working on it as we went along so I did my best to meet what was asked of me.
8. Thanks to everyone who took the time to thank me – I am just glad I was able to wrap up the move in a single day!
Sorry for writing a book on this but I just wanted to communicate some things before I crashed. I may drop some comments over the next couple of days but as a freelancer I’ve got to get some paying work completed so it will be a few days before I get back to fleshing out things here.
Can’t wait to see the election results in the morning.

There’s two voting reforms I see as needed.
The first is what you said: CLOSED Primaries. I live in NY, and all it means is you have to make a choice. It’s not that hard. When I first moved here back in ’81, I registered as Independent. When I went to vote in my first Democrat primary, I was told I couldn’t vote, as I wasn’t a registered Dem. Changed my party registration PDQ so I could vote in one party’s primary.
The second thing needed is having a picture ID to be able to vote, an ID which has an address matching the address in the voter book. States have non-driver ID’s for those who don’t drive, but really, most people must have a picture ID to use a credit card/cash a check or drive. To me, it’s no big deal. Getting to the DMV before an election is also not a big deal as it’s not like election dates are secret, or come up randomly out of the blue.
Oh, and a third one: Less absentee ballots. There should be absentee ballots for the military and the disabled, and maybe a few more limited cases. But let’s stop this absentee nonsense which only leads to voter fraud. If someone can’t drag their asses to a polling place once every two years within a 10 to 12 hour window, then they have no business voting in the first place.

@ snork:
Like changing the drapes on the Titanic.
A couple of points to note. First, this was the GOP’s night. There weree three major electionns to watch, plus some down-ballot positions of lesser importance. Of the thre major elections the GOP won two. In Virginia, they won by a huge (fraudproof) majority. Jersey was closer, but it is a blue, blue State and Corazine spent money by the bucket. Obama went all out for Corazine and it didn’t help him.
These two facts are huge, and are the defining elections. NY-23 is the third and we didn’t do quite so well. It was close. It was very close. Had Hoffman been nominated through the primary process it is likely he would have won. If you take Dede’s vote and add it to him, it is close but he wins. The pundits keep talking about how “strong” a Republican bastion this was, but if Scarfenswallow was the kind of Republica it takes to win it, then it seems a stretch to call it “solid Republican”.
The lesson on the Right from this is to attack early and often, get our people in the schute from the get-go, and win. Had Hoffman won the primary (he clearly would have won it had it been held) and had the GOP behind him for longer than the last 48 hours or so of the campaign it seems plausible, even likely, that he would have won. The GOP needs to remember this when they try to squeeze Right wing candidates off the playing field.
I keep saying it because the Republican “leadership” doesn’t seem to get it: you can’t win, can not win, without strong support from the base.

LGF, OTOH, has never been known for its ornate and moving architecture. It gets the job done (though it is a bandwidth hog), but it isn’t commercial grade artwork. That is just the way it is. CJ isn’t a graphic designer (at leeast I hope he isn’t trying to make a living as a graphic designer), he’s a coder. I’d have to do a walk-through of his code to tell whether or not I thought it was good, solid code or spaghetti crap.

@ Iron Fist:

Someone here last night nailed it right on the head. The RINOs are like New Coke. It was a flop, because if people want Pepsi, they’ll buy real Pepsi. If you’re selling Coke, you’d better furnish real Coke, of they won’t buy it.
It’s really as simple as that. The donkey party is selling full calorie caffeinated libprogism, and if all the elephants have to offer is some compromised version of that, they lose. They need to sell something that is 1) different, and 2) all the calories and all the caffeine.

@ snork:
Yep. I know everyone is probably tired of hearing me harp on it, but I think it importantr. Distinguishing their brand from the Democrats is of paramount importance to the Republicans. If they can do it properly, it will greatly enhance their odds of winning. I have put forward the proposal that the Republicans become the defender, almost the missionary, for the Second Amendment. Get loud in their support for Heller and encouragement for the Supreme Court to find for gunowners’ civil rights in the next case that comes up next year, and repudiate the reprehensible US v. Cruikshank decision. That latter entails condemning the Ku Klux Klan’s efforts to disarm freed slaves so that it would be easier for them to be oppressed, abused, and even murdered.
Condemning the Klan should be one thing we can all agree on. I’d be most curious to see which way the Congressional Black Caucus would jump is the Republican’s entered a Bill condemning Cruikshank and legislatively applying the Second Amendment to the States. Done properly, it would be bleeding obvious that support for gun control was support for the Ku Klux Klan.
Now that is how you play hard-ball politics.

And I hope the GOP in NY kicks Schizofava straight out of the party. She’s a disgrace, and the NY-23 got what it asked for when they proferred her as the candidate without a primary. And yeah, Mr. Steele, time to clean house up there!
Maybe Chaz is seeing the wind shift and now doesn’t want to be left out in the cold again. Oh, and Chaz? The fact that Think Progress calls you “conservative” doesn’t make it so. I can call my car a Maserati all I want but it’s still a Saturn Vue.
