TI Herby Nominate For the 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate, A True Republican
By Russ Stickrath

Are there any conservative Americans out there besides me that would just love to grab Republican senators and congressman, shake them back and forth then slap them across the face and scream into their face, "Snap out of it!"? Yes it is true that a far right ultra-conservative politician is one of the most hated creatures residing in our country; conversely, the other most hated politicians in our country are far left ultra-liberals, such as our current president.

So, what does that mean in real speak? It means, if you are a true Conservative, small government Republican, you may have to put up with losing a few moderate Republican votes (Democrats in Elephant Suits), but if you can get yourself to the forefront of the media to be heard and speak the truth eloquently, you just might grab the Independent vote back.

Let us ask ourselves a few questions.

1. Are Independents different from Moderates? Answer: Absolutely, Independents are free thinkers; Moderates are spineless, fence sitters

2. Where did more independent voters vote in 2008? Answer: Obama

3. Why did they vote that way? Answer: Charisma, Controversy, Change, Nothing better out there

4. Were there any Republicans who voted Obama in 2008, other than Colin Powell? Answer: You "betcha" (God Bless You, Sarah Palin)

I would like to be able to change the term Independent Voter to Undecided Americans or you call them a Compassionate Conservatives or simply, Free Thinking Americans. I can only leave out the left because I cannot talk to anyone over there who isn't a Democrat all the way. I am sure there are some Democrats that are free thinkers out there and I would love to discuss this issue with you.

Even those of us who may be registered Republicans, will sometimes cross party lines to vote for who they think will do a better job for our country. The person who wins those votes will have a defined stance and it will be defined and unwavering. They have an agenda and they are often controversial. They are very rarely if ever, moderate.

These are not moderate times. They have not been moderate since Ronald Reagan so enraged the liberals that they declared war on anything conservative.

So, I liked John McCain. He seemed like a good guy, but he was anything but controversial. I voted for McCain for president, but in the primaries I voted for Huckabee, because of his stance on taxes and he was so obviously a devout Christian Conservative. I feel a lot safer with someone with a healthy respect of an All-Mighty being more powerful than him, then one that does not.

I voted for McCain because of Barrack Obama, not because of anything McCain said or did. I was afraid that Mr. Obama was an elitist, who felt he knew better than the rest of us how to handle our own affairs. Did you hear him say, "This is the greatest country in the world, help me fix it." I know what my Grandpa would say to that one.

But I am not an independent, I am a registered Republican although I did vote for a Democratic presidential candidate one time. For a very specific reason as he promised to lift the ban on stem cell research and I have a daughter with Type 1 Diabetes.

Bill Clinton got my vote for one reason, but then again, one reason got my vote. Think about that for a second, wont you. Controversy is a two way street, but at least you are in the car and driving. Win or lose, you must put up your best fight to win for what you think is right.

So, here is the gist of my article, spoken exactly how I feel. Any Republican senator, congressman or governor who disagrees with President Obama and what he is doing to our country must stand up today and shout it out He or she must take on the mainstream media at every chance. They must yell overtop of the Obermann and Matthews' chest beating tirades. They must go on MSNBC and CNN and Meet the Press but they need to be prepared, be angry and be brave enough to make themselves heard.

They also need to be heard on Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, but remember that they are preaching to the choir, so they must speak their mind. Believe me; they should want Rush Limbaugh to talk about them as a fellow warrior.

If they fear O'Reilly, Hannity and Rush's negative publicity from the left, then they are not a true Conservative, they are just another politician trying to keep his job. We need to start slowing this president down now, we cannot wait for 2012.

The fight for the 2012 election started the day that President Obama won. It is going to take the best and the brightest to take back our country from the far-left liberals. The left is not the majority, they are just the loudest and if conservatives do not start truly challenging this president and his policies today it may take them one hundred years to recover, if ever.
