HANNITY'S CONSERVATIVE BLUEPRINT FOR VICTORY!

As I was doing the radio show last week I decided I wanted to start focusing on the positive more. I'm not that concerned with whether conservatives go and vote for McCain this fall or not.

Yet, I am concerned about conservatives making sure they vote for their local conservative candidates. It will be a disaster if conservatives stay home because of not wanting to vote for McCain. We can't afford to let Democrats have a larger majority in either the House or the Senate.

I know it is a difficult year and its hard to get excited about anything but we can't lose heart. There are still too many crucial issues at stake and we can't just sit back and not participate.

I was thinking of coming up with my own list and then I heard Sean Hannity talking about his Top 10 and I knew I was going to have to post them. I usually don't post things in their entirety but I know he is wanting to get the word out so I wanted everyone to see these and to help spread the word.

Call your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and encourage them to adopt these 10 items. Call John McCain and encourage him to change some of his policies to fit this list and encourage him to pick a VP who falls in line with this list. I knew I would agree with the list before I even read it but it was even better than I anticipated.

If all the Republicans would adopt this list and herald it like the Republicans did the Contract with America in 94 we could take back the Senate and the House easily.

The Candidate accepts as their duty and responsibility to educate, inform, and remind people that with the blessings of Freedom comes a Great responsibility. That Government's primary goal is to preserve, protect and defend our God given gift of freedom.

That Government's do not have the ability to solve all of our problems, and to take away all of our fears and concerns. We need their pledge that we will be the candidate that promotes Individual liberty, Capitalism, a strong national defense and will support policies that encourage such...

It is our fundamental belief that limited Government, and Greater individual responsibility will insure the continued prosperity and success for future generations.

We the people who believe in the words of Ronald Reagan, that we are "the best last hope for man on this earth," "a shining city on a hill," and that our best days are before us if our Government will simply trust the American people.

MY TALK WITH SEAN HANNITY!

When I heard that Dobson was going to be on Hannity's show yesterday I knew I had to call in. Amazingly, I got through pretty quickly. I got to talk to Sean about Dobson and his lack of support for both Rudy and Thompson & his possible 3rd party support. I got to express everything I've talked about here on this blog. At the end Hannity quoted this poll that obviously, has both of us concerned. He said he would convey my comments to Dobson during the interview.

I then listened intently while Hannity interviewed Dobson for about 45 minutes. I'm glad I got through when I did because there were no phone calls during their interview. I have to say that I was extremely proud of Hannity and once again disappointed in Dobson.

Dobson refuses to support Rudy because of abortion and yet when Hannity pointed out the strict constructionist judges and all the moral issues that Rudy stood up for while Mayor of New York, Dobson was not impressed. He also refuses to support Fred Thompson because Thompson supports State Marriage Amendments instead of a Federal Marriage Amendment. I find this to be incredulous. He is willing to almost guarantee Hillary the presidency because of a minor disagreement like that. First of all, a Federal Marriage Amendment is very unlikely. The U.S. Constitution rarely has amendments added to it and for good reason. I'm not against a Federal Marriage Amendment but as long as Thompson is for traditional marriage this isn't worth quibbling over.

Dobson says he will support a 3rd party if either Rudy or Thompson get the nomination. This will be disastrous and almost ensure Hillary a win. My only thought is that even though the poll says that 27% would vote for a nameless 3rd party I'm not sure that would really translate once a 3rd party person was running. It would have to be someone very charismatic and inspiring to get anywhere near 27%. I also think that Rudy might very well be a problem if there is a 3rd party but not necessarily with Thompson. There is no way that people would follow Dobson in his lack of support for Thompson over a difference in federal and state issues.

I would also like to know who this 3rd party candidate is going to be that Dobson would be able to support 100%. When I've looked at Thompson's conservative record the only thing I disagree with him on is his support for the National Endowment for the Arts. You aren't going to find a better candidate than that, especially at this stage of the game.

The other thing that I just couldn't get over was that Dobson thinks that by sabotaging Rudy and Thompson he is going to get one of the 2nd tier candidates to become viable. He said that there were other lower candidates that he might be able to support and who knows what could happen. He has been involved in the political game much longer than I and he knows that is extremely unlikely.

I was proud of Sean because Dobson was somewhat implying that by Sean and others like me being willing to support Fred or Rudy that we were only interested in winning politically. Sean said that couldn't be further from the truth, this was about right and wrong and that he just couldn't allow Hillary to become president for the sake of this country and the moral issues that he holds dearly. To that I say Amen!!

I think that by supporting a 3rd party candidate you will be indirectly electing Hillary Clinton. More babies will be slaughtered during her presidency, marriage will be in more jeopardy and this country will be far less safe, I have no doubt about it.

Someone recently accused me of being willing to vote for someone just because they have an R by their name. That couldn't be further from the truth. I've never supported Specter, Warner, McCain, Hagel or many other Republicans just because they have an R next to their name. It is a worldview and philosophy on life difference. Rudy may be liberal on some issues but he has a drastically different world view than Hillary Clinton. He would pick stellar supreme court justices and would keep this country safe and I do think he would continue to stand up for what is right including moral issues like he did in New York.

Bottom line: those of us who care passionately about moral issues cannot hand the reigns of the presidency over to Hillary. Bill Clinton did a lot of damage in his 8 years. We cannot allow Hillary to do worse just because of disagreements in our party.

BILL MOYERS' BS TO AIR ON PBS

Guess what your tax payer dollars are paying for? Bill Moyers to have supposedly "objective" documentaries on PBS. After a 2 year absence Moyers (who can't get hired by anyone else) is taking our tax money to air a propaganda, hit piece on Fox News and Conservative talk show hosts entitled, BUYING THE WAR tonight.

Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity both talked about it on their shows last night. Bill O'Reilly especially showed that Moyers has some serious problems telling the truth. A Fox News producer questioned Moyers about things he has said and Moyers denied it all. O'Reilly then played the tapes of the interviews where Moyers said exactly what the producer asked him about. Moyers has been repeatedly asked to come on O'Reilly's show and he refuses to do so.

The documentary to air tonight is filled with propaganda aimed at doing nothing more than trashing people that he disagrees with ideologically. Bill Moyers is a left wing whacko and I resent the fact that PBS is paying him to do hit pieces on his enemies. Yet another reason our hard earned tax money shouldn't go to fund anything done by PBS.
