Posted on September 15, 2010 at 12:59amI am an American first before I am an R or a D.. The Republicans have now pulled out helping her win the race? Well it is now OFFICIAL… I am now no longer a Republican!!! I will be a registered Independent going forward.. They will not get another dime. Shame on them… WE NEED A THIRD PARTY!!. The madness has to end with playing the lessor of two evils game!! If Lincoln was running now they would consider him a failure in his personal life. Davy Crockett died broke because of his service to his county. I can care less she had financial issues in the past. Our Government has financial issues. This rich\exclusive life time job club has to be booted out!!!

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 6:46amApparently we don’t need a third party, we’ll just take back the Republican Party – the party of Ragen and Lincoln. The party of Bush is being voted out and replaced with common sense conservatives.

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 12:24amLiberals hate ‘the power of the people’. In fact it is what they fear most. So they attempt to PURCHASE people through welfare and entitlements. The day of their power rapidly draws to a close! We have much to do to repair the devastation and to restore order in our country. But we are America. And we will not be counted out.
November cannot come quickly enough.

This quote doesn’t bother me. I a sick and tired of the all the pornography and the obsession with sex in our schools, deceiving young people today. Look around at the media today, the premarital sex, the abortions, the destroyed lives! How many people stand up against this? Not many.
And it’s true that lust can lead to adultery outside of marriage.. Doesn’t every mature adult know this?

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 12:03amOh.. and can I observe that the ‘polls’ and pundits had her in a statistical dead-heat the day before the election. She won by SEVEN percentage points (at least). These are the same ‘polls’ that tell us that she can’t win in November. You draw your own inferences.

Posted on September 14, 2010 at 11:53pmFaith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. A miracle just happened in Delaware because We The People had faith. Learn from this. Let your faith grow stronger. God is not on our side; we are on God’s side, and I’m convinced Christine is with us. Ignore those that ignore Divine Providence, and place your faith in relying upon the principles you know to be true. God bless the USA.

Posted on September 14, 2010 at 11:37pmO’Donnell talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk. Don’t be taken in by her. There have been some serious ethical issues raised about O’Donnell http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/citing-mental-anguish-christine-odonnell-sought-69-million-gender-discrimination-lawsuit-again
She’s got the makings of an ethics scandal waiting to happen. If she implodes on a national level it could be devastating for the Tea Party Movement. Character matters and there are serious questions about hers. Folks we are not going to fix this mess we are with elections, especially elections of individuals of suspect character. We only fix this nation by fixing ourselves– one person at a time.

Posted on September 15, 2010 at 8:19pmWe need to take this country back , from those who would undermine our basic values , its been a long time in the making .. The Tea Party cannot sit on its laurels though … its time to work even harder to secure our “Nation Under God” again and undo all the Liberal laws that have been forced on the people over the decades. The job wont be finished until America is once again the “Nation Under God” we used to be .. Only by undoing all these corrupt laws that have for decades weakened our nation shall we have a chance to restore it to what it was . IT does not end with winning elections it only begins . The people are watching but so Is God .
