2. You have to believe [...]
Yet many don’t seem to get that:
In an era of judicial legislating and the “imperial presidency,” it would be tempting to assume more power to the people would be the solution. Speaking from a conservative point of view, democracy sometimes furthers our ends (i.e. the passage of Prop 8 [...]
Update: Yikes! Reckon I should have added….it’s a joke people!

[...]Then I’d suggest you check out this guy, Richard Behney, candidate for U.S. Senate in 2010. We all need more candidates like this guy to stand up and be counted. If we are going to take our country back, we should support any, and all, REAL conservatives! While you’re [...]
On the joke that is Sarah Palin:

With interest in Carrie Prejean soaring to new highs after her "sex tape" controversy and odd behavior on Larry King Live, some people may find themselves asking the question: "Why do conservatives always get caught up in sex scandals?"David Oatney reports from the Tennessee Conservative Union’s Reagan Day:
Haslam sent people and bought tables, but a conservative event in his own hometown was not good enough for him to be there and actively stump for himself. Bill Dunn is one of the few reputable conservatives openly supporting Haslam [...]
From Rick Locker:
Its chairman, Lloyd Daugherty, said today that despite Ramsey’s straw-poll win, “It’s my sense that conservatives have not consolidated behind one candidate yet. I think it’s up for grabs. I think it had a lot do with Ramsey becoming a known quantity with regard to state issues.”

So how does all of this play for Tennessee in 2010? The Tennessee Republican Party has a historic opportunity to capitalize on what might be termed as the Season of Our Discontent. [...]
But some conservative bloggers think that’s okay:
First, the GOP now must recognize it will either lose without conservatives or will win with conservatives. In 2008, many conservatives sat home instead of voting for John McCain. Now, in NY-23, conservatives rallied and destroyed the Republican candidate the establishment chose.

[T]he notion that black people are pawns on a chess-board, which conservatives and liberals move around in order to one-up each each other, has got to go. Sometimes–just sometimes–a black dude isn’t a problem. He’s just a dude trying to marry a beautiful woman, raise [...]
East TN blogger David Oatney: Lamar Alexander often does things that will get conservatives' goats. So why do we in Tennessee still love Lamar?
UPDATE: A.C. Kleinheider: Just When You Think He Can't Get Any RINOier, He Goes And Totally Redeems Himself
