In 2006, Tom DeLay unexpectedly resigned his seat, which left the Republicans without a candidate on the ballot. <br /><br />The Libertarian Party had a fine candidate in Bob Smither, a conservative local crime fighter hero, who pledged to "Caucus with Republicans," if elected.<br /><br />Despite enormous pleas and begging from local libertarian Republicans, the Houston/Ft. Bend County GOPs decided to run a ridiculous write-in campaign for Shelly Sekula-Gibbs. <br /><br />Of course, it was predictable. Democrat Nick Lampson clobbered her. Smither still ended up getting 6%. He could've won, if it were not for the stubborness of Conservatives locally AND nationally (numerous appeals were made to Erick Erickson and RedState to no avail.)<br /><br />And now the Conservatives want moderate and libertarian Republicans to back their 3rd party Conservative candidate? <br /><br />I'd probably otherwise support Hoffman over Scazzofava were it not for the hypocrisy on 3rd parties by Conservatives - okay to back a Conservative, but not a Libertarian. <br /><br />Eric Dondero, Publisher<br />Libertarian RepublicanEric Donderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763399145451696076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-59420493175074329392009-10-16T14:15:38.643-04:002009-10-16T14:15:38.643-04:00I am sort of on the fence on the issue of electing...I am sort of on the fence on the issue of electing some RINOs. Recruiting conservatives and centrists is what made Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House. I am sure Pelosi and Heath Schuler agree on very little but it doesn't matter because of the power she has gained. Would I be willing to tolerate a few RINOs in Congress to make John Boehner Speaker of the House and sent Pelosi packing? You bet your ass I would. I understand this situation is different because Hoffman is a viable conservative candidate but in other places we may have no choice but to accept a RINO or face the reality of never controlling again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-55579486561501536662009-10-16T14:01:05.706-04:002009-10-16T14:01:05.706-04:00Has any one come up with a list for 2010/2012 of c...Has any one come up with a list for 2010/2012 of conservatives to run against the liberals and rhinos?

I could never vote for clowns like that. The RNC better stratien up or we are going to have four MORE years of dem control and Obama. I will not vote for these 'centrist republican' liberals. I voted for McCain but that is the last RINO I am ever voting for. I knew McCain could not win because he is too far left. These big spenders better get with the conservative message or Republicans aren't going to have a party. There will be no party without conservative leadership.
