The election is a week behind us and Lindsey Graham has six more years in the Senate. Because McCain lost we have no hope of Graham leaving to the AG so we’re stuck with him for. What does a good conservative do now?
What we do now is consistently apply pressure across the board. Graham feels confortable bucking his constituents because he had backing among RINOs across the GOP. We, as grassroots conservatives have to apply pressure first to our members of Congress to replace the inept leadership at the top. That means I’m contacting Congressman Henry Brown and telling him NOT to support Minority Leader Boehner in the House.
We’ve had two disastrous elections in a row and yet it appears the House it poised to retain the leadership that handed us those losses. We have a GOP that is still in denial. They continue to make excuses, apparently having learned nothing from the ‘06 and ‘08 elections. If the GOP has any hope at all of retaking anything in 2010, it depends on replacing the current leadership in both the House and Senate with solid ideological conservatives.
We grassroots conservatives have successfully flexed our muscles before. When President Bush tried to pass Harriet Meyers off on use we rose up en mass and put a stop to it. We have the power to do the same kind of thing now. If members of Congress are overwhelmed with phone calls, emails and faxes from their constituents demanding new leadership, they will listen.
The question is, do grassroots conservatives care enough to take action?
