So true! And so sad. Republica...@ 2nd Anonymous. So true! And so sad. Republicans lost their way, that's for sure. And that's why we booted their sorry big-spending, big-government butts out in 2006, but they do seem to "get it" now, and if we do our job as citizens, keeping their feet to the fire, we can have that America back again. I do believe in America, and I do believe we'll get it back. <br /><br />It does NOT help that crazy Michael Steele is telling black people the republican party has nothing to offer them. That man! http://potluckbloggers.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/michael-steele-wrong-again/ But it does point the exact problem with PR that you talk about. Sigh squared. ;)<br /><br />(btw, Clifton, you've got a gaggle of fans over at Potluck, see link, myself included)Fuzzy Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-16382344354591997582010-04-21T23:48:55.059-04:002010-04-21T23:48:55.059-04:00Fuzzy,
2nd Anonymous here. I totally know what yo...Fuzzy,<br /><br />2nd Anonymous here. I totally know what you mean. And I know why: I became a conservative by my OWN account after understanding how America [should] run. <br /><br />My dad is a hard working Asian American and frankly he thinks the welfare system is MAD and crazy, his own words.<br /><br />I spend many years thinking Rep party is evil, you know why? Bad PR. Most Reps became so big themselves they forgot what Conservative is. They don't even know how to talk Conservative anymore.<br /><br />Which is why I support Tea Party. People today are so unfamiliar with Conservatism, many simply find Tea Party as "crazy." Low tax? OMG, how else do I get my milk if our tax money doesn't subsidized the corn industry? How else can my kid learn math if we don't offer 100K salary with benefits in New Jersey for a substitute teacher?<br /><br />Sigh... Conservative needs a new PR firm, and Rep Party is so far doing a bad job. If Tea Party can stick with the important things, don't let neo-cons take over, we can revive Conservatism to be enjoyed by responsible, HARD WORKING, gun-toting, freedom-loving Americans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-12945560215261073562010-04-21T22:36:22.355-04:002010-04-21T22:36:22.355-04:00Anonymous (um, the second one), I know what you me...Anonymous (um, the second one), I know what you mean, for some reason minorities keep going to the dem party even though they share few (if any?) of the same values and interests. I'd add that in addition to being fiscally conservative a lot of minorities also have strong views about religion (whatever theirs is) and about family (not to be confused with "social issues" like abortion and gay marriage, though I guess that a lot of at least Latino/a voters don't like the latter or Cali would have it by now). I just can't figure out how we can reach out to them, let them know that we are on the same page and want opportunity for all. And that they've been lied to and played for decades about race, we are not racists, not by a loooooong shot.Fuzzy Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-85308320350167429822010-04-21T18:19:07.688-04:002010-04-21T18:19:07.688-04:00Unfortunately participating in any political event...Unfortunately participating in any political event while in uniform is a court martial offense.genesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-36894283836026326032010-04-21T14:13:17.781-04:002010-04-21T14:13:17.781-04:00I am a "minority" Asian American and I S...I am a "minority" Asian American and I STRONGLY support the Tea Party. Of course the main stream media will use anything they know, race card, hatred tactics, against the Tea Party or ANYONE who dares to talk about "Constitution." That's how they herd most of minorities, but in heart, most minorities are very fiscal conservative, and work very very hard to raise their family. But there's a filter between "minorities" with conservative values, and that filter is the main stream media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-67680891064000232922010-04-21T12:57:41.018-04:002010-04-21T12:57:41.018-04:00Living in San Francisco, I am just amazed at how d...Living in San Francisco, I am just amazed at how deathly quiet the local gay activist groups have become under Obama. Nary a peep while their rights are being stripped. Had 'W' the temerity to ban all press access this would be front page headlines, but all we hear from the MSM is .....

They have to keep up the illusion that the only people who don't agree with BO are racist Tea Partiers, and that's hard to do when the far left is handcuffing themselves to the White House gate. The media was probably HAPPY to go. Actually, they could have saved some taxpayer money and just put up a hand written sign saying "No press," and they'd have happily toddled off to dream up more RAAAAACIST Tea Party rhetoric.Fuzzy Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-40554152736799720972010-04-21T05:08:52.665-04:002010-04-21T05:08:52.665-04:00Maybe those on the left will finally understand th...Maybe those on the left will finally understand that tea party members are trying to bring back to center stage our constitutional way of governing and our rights. This will benefit them as well; they also have a right to assemble. And the media needs to return to their constitutionally granted position and not be quick to abdicate their rights and responsibilities. The day may come when they become the target and then who will tell their story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
