Lieberman To Campaign For Republicans In 2010

Dissecting Sen. Joseph Lieberman's motives has become a cottage industry among political commentators, especially since he staked out a high-profile stance against a government-run insurance plan put forth by Democratic leaders.

Then Lieberman added more fuel to the critics' fire, telling ABC News he will campaign for Republicans in 2010. Lieberman is an independent who caucuses with the Democrats.

In a conference call Friday with some Connecticut reporters, Lieberman chuckled at the critics' attempts to, as he called it, "psychoanalyze" him. He said his rejection of the government-run insurance plan isn't a bid for attention or quest for relevance but, rather, a matter of principle.

"I feel relevant," Lieberman said. "I've taken this position [on health care reform] because I believe it."

Lieberman dismissed critics who say he is opposed to the plan because he has received more than $1 million in campaign contributions from the insurance industry over the past 20 years.

With the sole exception of the WOT, Liebermann is a dyed in the wool leftist moonbat.  After the Dede Scozzafava debacle, one would hope the whack-jobs in the GOP leadership would be just a little more gun-shy of such "friends" of the party.

He didn't say he would be campaigning for conservatives.  Just Republicans.

There is a difference.

Unfortunately, you are correct, sir.

I am a conservative.  As I just wrote back to the GOPAC spam-bot, I am no longer a Republican.  If the Republicans want to back a candidate in a race that is a conservative and "small 'L'" libertarian, and is unashamed to be a conservative and "small 'L'" libertarian, then he or she will get my vote.  If not, they can go play patty-cake with the Democrats without me.

That is pretty much the same way I feel about it.  Next time I'm near the BMV, I need to remember to get a new voter registration card and change my party affiliation to back independant.

Let me be very clear here. We cannot label ourselves by party. We can IDENTIFY the ORGANIZATION in which we take our views, but let us get the words, verbs, and nouns straight.

1. We are LIBERTARIAN / CONSERVATIVE-minded individuals. This is not a party. This is a matter of describing our own PRINCIPLES. Principles can NOT be dictated by an organization or a political party. They can only be internalized and promoted by individuals through voluntary associations and agreements. We do have differences between the principles, but we share a strong, virtually unbreakable bond with the tenets of the US Constitution as it was originally written, tempered with the amendments that augment the original document. In all, this is based on the Federalist Papers.

Sorry for being a bit long here, but I needed to describe our own individual traits first.

2. At this point, the individuals of the current Democratic Party do NOT represent the "left" of the American Democratic spectrum. They represent the organization of individuals who, collectively, intend to force us with TOTALITARIAN PRINCIPLES which are OVERTLY and IRREVOCABLY in DIRECT OPPOSITION to the US Constitution. I daresay the individuals who make up the Democratic Party principles are, in fact, unconstitutional. The majority of the leadership would love to see us cede ALL military, environmental, legal, and finally, economic authority to the statists who control the UN. The warped thinking process which equates wealth with blatant stealing, while ignoring the fact that government oppression is 100 times worse, is all the proof we need that the individuals who make up the Democratic party is, without question, unqualified to render any opinion based on constitutional law and, frankly, human decency.

In short, because of the principles expoused by its members, the Democratic Party is, today, the most DANGEROUS ORGANIZATION to the STABILITY of this planet. I don't say they are WRONG. I don't say they are MISINFORMED. I say they pose the GREATEST DANGER to our country, our communities, and our families, as well as our children's lives. While I of course fear the rogue nuclear entities more from an immediate physical threat, ultimately we must acknowledge that an organization that can control the economic and military apparatus of the United States must have the moral and constitutional turpitude to effectively engender its greatness.

3. We have identified ourselves and our principles. We have identified the enemy's principles as well. Increasingly, there is NO MIDDLE GROUND...and for that we should be glad. BUT...we can NOT MISIDENTIFY the ENEMY. The enemy is NOT just the Democratic Party. It is the PEOPLE and the CABAL who control the party with far greater illegality than any organized crime family in history.

But most importantly...we can NOT call the "Republican Party" the enemy. BUT... we need to UNITE against the enemy in the most efficient method possible... and to that end, the most effiecient vehicle is, in fact, the Republican Party.

THIS MEANS.... that RINO's, by definition, are NOT conservative, and NOT Libertarian. We MUST KEEP UP OUR GUARD against this 5th column. (NOTE: I"ve long since stopped calling the Democrats the "5th Column" because they are absolutely OVERT in their desire to destroy the country. A more exacting term for 5th column, in fact, would be those whose individuals' actions help the enemy, which far more describes RINO's in our midst than the average democrat).

But we CANNOT diss the ORGANIZATION, just because SOME members are RINOS. We have to, instead, ensure that our organization is run by people who expouse our constitutional values. And to be frank: if we go third party at this time...we are doomed. DOOMED. Oh, we may be able to right the ship down the road, but not before the democrats have ceded ALL OF OUR AFOREMENTIONED ECONOMIC and MILITARY AUTHORITY to the world's greedy dictators.

And, frankly, humans are a simplistic lot. I do NOT at all mean that with any sense of derisiveness. It's just that when it comes to values, we like to know where we stand, no matter WHAT ISSUE is at hand. We need to ensure our STATIC principles are rock solid, allow ourselves room for DYNAMIC improvement without destroying those base principles. So to that end, we need to UNITE under ONE BANNER. That banner, for now, is the REPUBLICAN PARTY.

NOTE: Unless I'm defining the actual party affiliation of any person, I will NEVER call anyone a "Republican," simply because I agree that not all "republicans" are conservative/libertarian. But, I do not agree that "moderates" are those who "can see both sides." That makes no sense: How can one be a conservative and a totalitarian at the same time? Of course there are certain issues that we may have very strong opposition stances, but for the basics, especially when it comes to economics and security, we are for the most part united against those whom would take away our economic structure and cede our security to the UN dictatorships.

I realize this is a rather long post, and I do apologize. But I needed to put out the actual BREAKDOWN as to our positions, the acknowledgment the Democratic Party is now not just a political party but is actually a vehicle to allow despicable individuals to destroy our country in ways that no slave society, no Eastern Empire, no European Nazi group, no Soviet Socialist, and no Islamic-Fascist could ever do. Ever.

The Democrats will be taking their Greatest Shot on December 24th when Obama signs the American Socialist Act of 2009, setting up 2010 to be the most PIVOTABLE YEAR to our existance as an American entity. Once this bill passes, Obama will start loading the federal court system with his statist judges. Rahm will start the process of providing payouts to all the congress vermin who confirm those judges, then resign before the republicans take over next year.

And TAKE OVER WE MUST. We can NOT allow anything less than a substantial majority in the House, and at least 53 senators in the Senate (taking into consideration Snowe, Graham, and Collins). You will see me a lot more here, but I have dedicated my time for the next year to make sure that 435 congressional House races get my full attention, as well as the 36 Class III senate seats at www.gopcongress.com. Anyway, thanks for letting me clear things up as to why we need to stay in the Republican Party, but make damn sure our principles remain conservative/libertarian at ALL times.

EDIT: This post was supposed to be a two or three paragraph ditty; instead, it looks like my next column...LOL
