Everyone needs to call the Hilton Hotel chain and let them know you are boycotting them for allowing the enemies of our country host a convention in Chicago! There number is 1800HILTONS

Here in Florida, we now have the perfect test case for the future of the Republican Party: Governor Crist is running for Senate in 2010. Maybe you like him, maybe not; the point is that he's no conservative. Former State House Speaker Marco Rubio is; that's who will oppose Crist in the primary. Already, a year and a half before any vote gets cast, the party leaders are endorsing Crist, citing favorable poll numbers as evidence he'll take both the primary & the general election. How many times are we going to fall for the same trap? Picking nominees based on these nebulous polls is killing us as a party; we'll end up with another moderate like McCain, our political clout the equivalent of cooked Ramen noodles. Who cares whether or not we win, if Republicans are indistinguishable from democrats? We'd be better off going with Rubio and risk losing the general election. No more RINOs. No more Specters, Snowes, Collinses. Please.

I find myself disagreeing with Glenn on what the theme of the Tea Parties, meet-ups, gatherings, etc., should be. He's been saying that we shouldn't focus on political parties, or even mention Obama's name. I agree as far as parties; Democrat & Republican have become meaningless terms & no longer apply to the debates we are having. But, would we even be going to gatherings or forming a 912PROJECT had someone other than Obama been elected? This guy is different and people can feel it. While we may disagree vehemently or even despise liberal politicians like Bill Clinton, Kerry, Gore, Dodd or Biden, we didn't fear our liberties would be vanishing one by one at such a rapid pace. We figured if they moved too far left, they'd lose in the next election cycle; we could just grit our teeth & bear it until then. The rules feel different now; can we be sure there will be elections in 2 years? This president is the guy radical leftists have been preparing for for half a century. Why would they hold back now? Whether we admit it or not, these gatherings are about Obama. Let's not deny it.

Yes, we have forgotten God and now we reap the consequences...
