CONSERVATIVES HOLD KEY TO GOP FUTURE
Bob Lonsberry
The polls are now saying what you’ve known for months.

The Republican Party is in trouble. President Bush is in trouble. The Republican majorities in both houses of Congress are in trouble.

The midterm elections are shaping up to be a Republican train wreck. Democrat House leader Nancy Pelosi is already fantasizing about investigations and impeachments.

The goose, the pollsters say, is cooked.

And it should be.

The Republican Party in Washington has so betrayed the people who put it in office that it deserves to go down in flames. The president, the Congress and the party to which they both belong have the public-approval ratings they have earned. They are getting what they deserve.

And they will be obliterated in November.

Unless they can kiss and make-up with conservatives.

George W. Bush doesn’t have a problem with the American people, he has a problem with conservatives. The shift in his popular support has all come from within the core of voters who put him in office – ditto for Republicans in Congress.

The math on this isn’t hard.

It’s contagious and it’s like the national Republicans have taken their ideas from Albany Republicans, or should I say RINO’s… Gas prices are high, taxes are high so we will send you money to buy your vote.

Republicans have lost focus or have been bought off by the special interests with huge campaign donations and payoffs just like the Democrats. We pretty much expect it from the Democrats with union payoffs after all they are the party of union endorsements, enviro’s, etc.

There seems to be no difference in the parties anylonger, they both love to take and spend our money to buy off other groups with programs, pork, patronage, and handing out huge checks with their names on them like they are the ones giving the money, they are the heroes….

In New York the Republicans follow lock step with Joe Bruno, Joe says jump and they jump and vote the way he tells them to. We have lost all our representation, there is no leadership in the senate, no one with a backbone to stand up and challenge Bruno as he aligns himself (and us) with Sheldon Silver and the Dem controlled assembly.

How much more can we take folks? We are the highest in everything and the lowest in business friendly. The only possible way to change things is to take out the leadership and challenge everyone of them in a primary. Bruno, Silver, Pataki and the whole legislature ratings are in the 20’s, people are not happy with the direction we are taking and instead of staying to fight, they are leaving, voting with their feet.

I can’t blame them for leaving, but we can’t just sit back and let this happen to New York. What can you do? Be a candidate, find a candidate, support a candidate and sign onto NewYorkCoalition.org
