  1. the consultant

    Cheney in new york is not going to play well..

  2. Jim Kelly - NY Conservative Campaigns

    Are you kidding me? VP at a State Party event makes ton of money. I have been to many of them. (Draw card)

    $$$$$$$Money…

    State Party needs it and this is a favor they have been waiting for.

  3. the consultant

    hey you know what jim..its not always about the money

  4. The Consultant Stinks

    If it is not about the money, why do so many Republicans promote Bloomberg, including the consultant. Bloomberg, has a staff composed of almost all Democrats, he only registered a Republican to make it easier to become mayor, and spent his limited time as a Republican criticizing the Republican party, and as soon as he no longer had to run for office changed his registration. The fact is Republicans like the consultant promote him because of MONEY!!! Bloomberg has it and they WANT IT!!!

    so many mean and evil persons joining together and remind GOP wannabe lalor littering the landscape with his lawn signs is really annoying.

  6. Jim Kelly - NY Conservative Campaigns

    National elections you run and win elections as Conservatives..IE Reagan…..

    McCain better adjust his campaign or he risk running an election like Dole or Bush Sr…...McCain started this by solidifying his Supreme Court elections and Pro-Life stances recently to Conservatives.

    Liberal GOPers lose national elections. That is why I was “MOST Confident” to reporters and insiders that Rudy Guiliani would not make it to first base while others bet their mortgage that Rudy would be President.

    Jim, Nixon was not a conservative Republican except in rhetoric and he won twice. Neither Dole nor Bush would be classified by most as liberal Republicans. Both are generally considerate moderate Republicans. Which is a big distinction. Both Dole and Bush ran lousy campaigns but it wasn’t because they were too liberal.

    As for your comments that liberal Republicans lost elections and that is why Giuliani would not make it to first base, I fail to grasp your logic. Giuliani lost in a primary. We have no idea how he would have done in a national election. Romney, was my candidate of choice but I thought that Giuliani suffered not because of his public positions but from his private behavior. If he had a more normal family life and better media relations, Giuliani could have won both the primary and general election.

    meant to say considered rather considerate.

    stinky is wrong again…Bloomberg is respected as a man
    who can run a city…considered the second toughest
    job in the nation..why does he have to be a republican
    what is your litmus test..Bloomberg isn’t giving me
    any money but I recognize talent when I see it..
    compared to Elliot SPitzer and George Pataki…Bloomberg
    could run the state without all the nonsense and the pork
    which by the way you are paying for….
    The problem with the presidential analysis is that
    the Republican brand has been damaged by Bush Cheney
    Rumsfeld and the whole crew…not to mention Larry
    Craig, and vitter et al…McCain cannot win the election
    as a Bush desciple..it won;t happen..this election Jim
    unlike others in the past will not be decided by the
    evangelical/conservative base…it will be decided by
    moderate centrist voters of both parties and of no
    party…McCain understands that which is why is spoke
    of global warming, why he in essence set a timetable for
    withdrawal from Iraq, and why on many other issues
    he will establish a position that is not in line with Bush
    Cheney on many issues…that will mean that you will
    either get a very liberal senator with little national
    security experience..or a right of center senator with
    lots of it..thats your choice Jim..stay home, or vote

    Good point, Consultant! Than why did you less than a week ago, while discussing your golf game mention in passing that you might for vote for Obama?

    You contradict yourself all the time.

  11. the consultant

    hey the anti consultant is back under a different moniker
    I can suggest whatever I want..just to tweak you a little
    right now I support John McACain…saying I might do
    anything is like saying I might shoot 72…not likely though
    is it..and its not a contradiction…of course if John
    McCain chose for example Mike Huckabee that would be a real
    problem for me…

    No. Your suggestion was beyond a pie in the ski scenario. You indicated that if McCain did not modify his position on the war, you very well might for Obama. You should reread your post. You are perfectfully free to suggestion whatever you want. That does not change the fact that you give advice that you do no follow. You tell conservatives that they should vote for whomever the Republican nominee is, while you believe you are free from this policy.

    As to the anti-consultant, sorry I am not him/her. I guess there are at least two people on this blog who find you a blowhard and a hypocrite.

    You were in favor of the war in 2002, when it mattered. Now, you are for a timetable. You, only do what is popular at the time. And yes it is a contradiction to claim that conservatives should support the nominee regardless of their convictions and then to make clear that based on your convictions (it is suprising that you have any) you may not.

  14. the consultant

    lots of people were in favor of the war initially ..
    some of us got a little smarter as the facts came out
    including Chuck Hagel…A timetable is what McCain
    is for…he announced one the other day…I happen
    to believe you get out as soon as you are able
    without putting in jeopardy the troops on the ground
    so it looks like the Republican nominee recognizes
    that getting out is what we have to do…
    the war was the most disasterous foreign policy
    decision in the history of the nation….that is
    not inconsistant with supporting a republican
    for president…unless you happpen to believe
    that it is the only issue of concern in the election

  15. the consultant

    Driving the GOP’s imperiled Senate situation, or course, is a massive shift in party identification. While the two parties are normally about tied in party ID, the Democrats now enjoy a 44-30 advantage in the latest Fox News poll of April 29.A combination of the Iraq war, gas prices, the credit crisis and a looming recession are dragging down the Republican Party, big time.

    taken from a dick morris column..you think something
    is wrong with the brand?
