That’s Right Nate

I have posted before that if we’re serious about turning the Republican Party around we need to get more elite. Our brand has to be like the Navy Seals or limited edition Precious Moments figurines. By cutting the number of Republicans way down, we can create a demand for us that will only serve us well in future elections. Obviously, Republicans in name only (RINOs) like Colin Powell, Olympia Snow, and the McCains need to hit the road, but who are the other threats to our party from within.

7. Rick Perry – When he ran for governor, he promised to secure the Texas / mexico border. As soon as he was elected, he totally reneged on the promise.
He also got a new business tax approved that was supposed to relieve residential property tax payers of their crushing taxes. Not only are business paying taxes they didn’t have to pay prior to 2008, homeowners are paying more property tax.

6. Pete Sessions – As head of the RNCC was complicit in allowingrampant RINOism to spread.

5. Lindsay Graham – His last opponent in the South Carolina Republican primary had a campaign slogan that “Lindsay Graham is too liberal for South Carolina.” I think he went even further over the top when he had a disgustingly kiss kis press conference showing his support for Obama.

4. Mitch McConnell – Was in favor of a stimulus package and big government spending

3. Nancy Reagan – She’s pro-stem cell research, she was a big McCain supporter in the primary over legitimate conservatives, and she has become an embarrassment to her husband’s legacy.

2. Newt Gingrich – He’s been making the round on liberal networks to attack Rush and Dick Cheney for their strident defense of America.

1. Dick Cheney - Though it pains me to admit it, Cheney is a big government liberal at heart. That can’t be changed by simply waterboarding a few terrorists.

Simply, by getting rid of these 7 pseudo Republicans, our party will become stronger. Let’s not waste time showing them them the door.

Since the election, many of us on the right have been awaiting a new leader to emerge from the Republican party.  I am happy to say we finally have one in Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell.  McConnell made a lot of news during the auto bailout crisis. He didn’t really attract my attention then because it isn’t like turning Detroit into a wasteland of poverty has a very high degree of difficulty.  However, recently McConnell has set his sites much higher by taking on the financial wellbeing special interests.  These special interests have already gotten to Obama.

These financial wellbeing people are willing to turn their back on the sound financial Republican principles that built this economy for things like economic recovery and jobs.  McConnell has steadfastly refused to play this game by leading the charge against any kind of economic initiative or giving into the Unemployment Lobby.  If only we had men like him to stop the New Deal.  McConnell frequently reminds folks Republican senators representing 37% of the nation’s population and that’s half.  What I really like about McConnell is the new bipartisan spirit he has embraced since sometime in Fall of last year.  If Obama wants a successful administration he will work with McConnell to craft the type of legislation that us Republicans will get behind, the type of legislation that President Bush would have gotten behind.
