1994 was supposed to have ushered in a new era of Conservatism. Analysts at the time said this was the Congress Reagan never had. Unfortunately, they were lead by Newt Gingrich who saw himself as Prime Minister and was out maneuvered by Bill Clinton. Then in 1998, instead of going after Clinton for giving China military technology, they went after him for a blow-job. In the 200’s the Republicans went along with Bush’s big government Rockefeller Republicanism. The result was that in 2006 and 2008, the GOP was  slaughtered at the polls. Luckily, the Democrats went Far Left and thanks to the tea party, the Republicans won a huge victory in  2010.

John Shadegg who in 2006 challenged The weak willed Rockefeller Republican John Boehner, but lost to him. He warns the newly elected Republicans to stay true to fiscal conservatism and don;’t make the same mistakes the 1994 class did.

If the Tea Party movement had come along four years ago, John Shadegg might now be the incoming Speaker of the House.

The Arizona Republican ran for majority leader in 2006 but was beaten by John Boehner, the Ohio Republican who has been minority leader since the fall of 2006 and is now set to take the gavel from Democrat Nancy Pelosi in one week’s time.

Shadegg, who in 2006 was the choice of National Review magazine and the conservative blog Redstate, is going home to Arizona. He decided to retire after 16 years in office.

Shadegg, 61, has a unique perspective on conservative Republican politics. He came to Washington as part of the Republican Revolution of 1994 that swept the GOP into control of the House for the first time since 1954.

It’s a shame that John Shadegg didn’t defeat the cry baby John Boehner. He would of been a more effective leader and one who would go toe to toe with Barack Hussein Obama. Unfortunately, with the metro-sexual Rockefeller whiner Boehner, Obama will eat the Republicans lunch. If this occurs, The Tea Party Republicans should launch a coup and get rid of that loser and send him home crying and replace him with Eric Cantor. I will never understand why the GOP since Regan selects elitist left of center pushovers like the Papa Bush, Bush Junior, Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitch McConnell as their representatives.
The GOP should heed Shadegg, he has seen how Republicans blow it. If they don’t come through and revert to Rockefeller style Progressive-lite, a new party will emerge.For too long they have used Economic and Social Conservatives as playthings. The time for this must cease and either they come through and fight, or its time for  party purge.

Republicans plan Budget Cuts

The Republican Party is now claiming that should they get a House majority, they will implement budget cuts. I hope they carry through with this and don’t cower out. Let’s not forget the GOP had total control of the US government from 2003-2007 and they governed like fiscal Socialists. In fact the Democrats ran to their right on fiscal issues in 2006 and won Congress as result. Once in power, they governed like fiscal Marxists and drove up the deficit to 1.2 Trillion and the debt by 5 trillion. Now Chris Cristie like budget cutting is needed and this is what the GOP is promising.

U.S. House Republicans plan to try to slash $100 billion from the federal budget as early as January if they wrest power from Democrats in this year’s midterm elections, setting up possible early showdowns with President Barack Obama on taxes and spending.

A Republican House takeover would thrust new committee heads, such as Representative Dave Camp on the Ways and Means panel, into the spotlight within weeks — or days — of seizing their gavels in early January. They would confront quick political tests that could alienate independent voters and Tea Party activists alike, analysts said.

I want to believe the Republicans but with their current Progressive leadership under Boehner (R-Oh), I have my doubts. Hopefully the rumors of Eric Cantor challenging Boehnerfor House Speaker is true. Paul Ryan and Cantor are the real deal Conservatives. As shown in the health care summit, they can run circles around Obama. They also know how to explain to the American public the sacrifices that will be needed to regain economic prosperity. A Cantor-Ryan leadership duo would be able to blunt the media’s attacks on budget cuts. The GOP needs good spokesman and they fit the bill.

In an interesting note, the Democratic party in Minnesota is running out right anti-Catholic ads. Since Catholic bashing and attacks on the church is accepted in America, no one has called them on it!

A  Democrat Party supporting independent non profit group has sent out perhaps THE most anti-Catholic political advertisement I’ve ever seen. Sometimes there’s a little subtlety to anti-Catholic political rhetoric but not this time. This is in your face anti-Catholicism. A postcard was sent out to voters with a photo shopped picture of a Catholic priest wearing a campaign button saying: “Ignore the Poor.”

[…..]

One of the more worrisome things about this is that this group must believe that there’s enough of an anti-Catholic vote that this would pay dividends. Could that be true?

Yes it will pay dividends since thanks to revisionist history, the media and entertainment industry, Catholic bashing is one of this nation’s favorite past times. As Stalin once said “How many divisions the Pope has?’ Very true words because if there was a Nuclear armed Catholic super power or Catholic terrorism, there would be more respect for the Church and its members. That is the truth, see the way Islam is treated in American society compared to Catholicism.

Americans give Republicans edge over Democrats on major issues

Just 2 years ago, Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats where swept in a landslide.  Americans at the time rejected the Bush/McCain Compassionate Conservatism, which was Progressivism with a Conservative face. The Progressive Movement was riding high and now in one of the biggest changes in American politics, it’s on the verge of collapse. On almost every major issue, the Republicans are leading Democrats for the first time in years in the  Gallup poll.

PRINCETON, NJ — A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds Americans saying the Republicans in Congress would do a better job than the Democrats in Congress of handling seven of nine key election issues. The parties are essentially tied on healthcare, with the environment being the lone Democratic strength.

Clearly the Republicans have the advantage and this finding confirms a similar one done by Rasmussen. The issue driving people towards the GOP is the Economy. This same poll shows the Economy is voters #1 concern.

The economy the issue that Americans care about. It’s about jobs, financial security and money in people’s pocket. The Republicans should hammer the Democrats on the economy from now towards election days. As James Carville said “It’s the economy stupid” and he was right. Now let’s use it as a club to clobber the Progressives. This issue in conjunction with the Progressives and their  collaboration with Islamic Imperialists over the 9/11 Ground Zero Mosque is what will lead our side the victory.

If the Republican do get power, they must never again govern as Progressives. If they go leftists and appeasing Islamic Colonialists like they did under the Bush years, then a new Conservative party will emerge. They are being given another chance, they better not blow it!

Update: What gives hope for the GOP this time around are the young guns like Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan. They are aggressive and demolished Barack Hussein Obama at the Health Care debate.

Washington’s chattering class zeroed in Tuesday on a potential but still nonexistent leadership battle between House Minority Leader John Boehner and Minority Whip Eric Cantor after members of the press received their advance copies of the latter’s new book, “Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders.” While the book may indeed elevate Cantor, who co-authored the book with Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, its title couldn’t make its purpose any clearer – the trio sets out to prove that there’s a new Republican Party emerging that’s younger, bolder and more diverse.

Boehner has given two major policy addresses in as many weeks to go toe to toe with President Obama as he sets the stage for a possible speakership that would make him his party’s official foil to the Democratic commander in chief. On Tuesday, Boehner addressed the 92nd American Legion National Convention in Milwaukee about the end of combat operations in Iraqas a precursor to Obama’s speech later in the evening. At the same time, about a dozen reporters in the Beltway had just finished combing through Young Guns and found only limited references to Boehner and took that to mean the Ohioan is on the outs.

But the book is less a preview of a leadership battle as it is a forced rebirth.

Personally I hope Eric Cantor challenges John Boehner for the Speaker position, should Republicans win the House. Boehner is an elitis Progressive Republican who needs to get out the way. Imagine House Speaker Eric Cantor and Majority leaders Paul Ryan! Barack Hussein Obama would have nightmares over that one!

Update III:Political analyst Larry Sabato has the The Republicans winning the house, winning 8-9 in the Senate and 8 governorships.

Let’s keep up the pressure!
