Statesmen, Not Politicians

As Election Day 2006 nears, it is extremely important that all voters unite and elect the best candidate regardless of party or political group. We are in the most crucial midterm election of our time and it is important that we elect the most suitable person for every office. Those elected will face tough issues ranging from war to terrorism to social security and to many other vital issues facing our national interests. All voters must stand united and look deep into all of the candidates running, and vote for the betterment of our nation. Look to those who stand by their convictions, look to those who are principled, and most of all look to those who lead by strong conservative values. As the voters look and make principled votes in this midterm, it will prepare all voters for 2008. In 2008 voters will unite behind the best candidate yet again, they will unite behind Newt Gingrich for President. Starting from this Election Day forward, lets make it an American tradition to elect statesmen, not politicians.

A Sad Day For Connecticut, A Good Day For Newt

As the election returns are counted and a concession speech already delivered, it has become fact that the Democratic Party has taken a turn for the worse in Connecticut. Ned Lamont's historic win last night defeating Sen. Lieberman in the Democratic Primary, means many things, but one factor deridingly stands out. The Democratic Party over the next few years is going to turn increasingly liberal. With this win, the reign of Clintonian moderation started in the early 1990s has ended and a return to the liberal politics of Ted Kennedy and Jesse Jackson have returned. As the Democratic Party becomes increasingly more liberal, it gives us as Republicans and more importantly as Newt supporters the opportunity to draw clear distinctions between our conservative candidate and the politics of socialism, the Democrats now preach. As Newt supporters it is our duty to spread the message of the new found liberalism in the Democratic Party; we must show the voters the distinct difference between Newt's message of conservatism, prosperity, and faith as compared to the Democrats new message of socialist propaganda focusing on a cut and run strategy in the War on Terror. Liberals may have won the battle for the Democratic Party, but it is up to us to see that they DO NOT win the battle for America!!!
