And might I suggest every Iowa Party Representativecheck voter names at the door. Zombie Occupiers and Vampire establishment types will try to disrupt.
Even though we here in the Southland have little sway in the Republican party, I know you folks in the Carolina's do.
Just like I told the Iowans and New Hampshirites, please write in Governor Sarah Palin.
Why do this?
Here are my three reasons,:
She is not caught on video throughout the multiple debates. I live in LA; And if you do not know what AVID is, let me put it simply: The White House, Democrats and their Media allies can edit all of those debates as they see fit. Again, by not participating, no one can attack Palin's words or edit them.
The Left and their media allies have attacked her person, her Governorship and her family. To be crude here, they have "shot their wad," in attacking her. She still stands. The other candidates (save for Speaker Newt) have no idea how the media will play handmaiden to the Obama Administration next year. She was in the line of fire -- she survived. Help her.
The Establishment Republicans want a Moderate Republican. That Moderate republican is Governor Romney (with his Meg Whitman staff). In 08, the Republicans put forth a Moderate named Senator McCain and he got no support from the same media that wails: Where are the Moderate republicans? This year, trust not the establishment. Write in Governor Sarah Palin.
My final message:
Please write in Governor Sarah Palin in your State. She can win a general.
Romney is McCain writ large.
My question: Who do you plan to support this Primary season?
Meanwhile, in Election 2010, the tea Party groups got organized and took over the local levels of the GOP (seen here in Los Angeles in many places).
Anyone can get to a Tea Party event, you didn't need a tent.
And ironically, the Left who spent two decades complaining about Social Conservatives could not stand these Fiscal Conservatives. Conservatives come in a few flavors, hating on both makes you a plain Hater -- not a partisan who can things done.
When you call for a Jacobin Revolution, the words of John Lennon need to ring forth:
The Tea Party movement brought in independents and Democrats who questioned "Where was their Government going?" No revolutions here, just people who wanted their Government to not Overreach. That's it.
Daleks have more capability to create things then the Occupy crowd (yes, the Daleks are fictional but the Truth remains what have the Occupiers done for the 99%? Anything? Bueller?). The Tea Partiers changed the Republican party back to a Fiscal Conservative one -- the Occupiers were pawns of President Obama.
I await the day the Occupy folks actually do something for the poor, while the Tea Party is taking Government off of people's back.
Maybe the Occupiers can find where the Anti-war protesters went? My question: Why do the Occupy people want to attack business' rather then President Obama? Are they in his pocket?
I'm just coming down from the enjoyable long birthday. I had many toasts, many Amazon gifts [Thank you Viktor, Gabriela and Nathan](And if you want to celebrate, here is the list) and much fun.
The Weekend Before at Ruin: (L -R) Janeen, Ron, Jeff and Denice
The Night Before the Actual Day: Two Muses and I: Samantha, Julia and I
Because my birthdays comes up against the Jolly Fat Guy Who Gives Presents (and Birthday for the Messiah for those religious minded among us), it is always a challenge to get a group together this time of year. As this was an odd numbered Birthday (41), I believe the Star Trek Movie Curse applies to this year.
Mom, me and Ron (L - R) on Saturnalia

I've taken some time off Blogging to just "Think," and find stuff to be humble about before the New Year begins.
I'm lucky to have good friends (Goths, Politicos and Bloggers) and a great family;
I'm blessed that I have the Power to Write and express my views in a place (The Valley) that people see and like;
I'm happy to live in Los Angeles and to give my fellow Republicans and Conservatives a leg up to do the (somewhat) impossible: Flip this City from Blue to Red;
An artist and Dissident who believed in Democracy -- Havel is Hitchens squared. During the 90's, he was the "coolest," Western President (See! Politics is just like High School) -- but he stood on the side of Freedom for all.
G-dspeed President Havel, continue to write plays for an even better audience.
5) If your career as a Republican Columnist is about attacking other Republicans, YOU ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE (Kathleen Parker and Jennifer Rubin)
So, who deserves to sit in the William F. Buckley Chair for Conservatism?
Here are a few basics that we Conservatives should look for:
A) William Buckley ran for office. Yes, he lost, but he put his views out there. Anyone who wants to sit in judgement of other members of the Right cannot be a journalist, but a candidate first.
B) Buckley spent his life, loving (in his first book) and supporting America (in the CIA), expats need not apply. The American culture has something few expats understand -- hence why Sullivan and Frum are on the outs. If you are an expat in politics, 95% of the time, you work for the Democrats (but with Frum and Sullivan, that's a given)
C) If you are not a communicator (i.e. Rush, Levin or Hannity), come up with a better show or leave them alone. Every party needs Fire Breathers, they provide a role so those in the trenches of politics can do their job. Heck,Buckley supported Rush.
D) If you are a candidate or on a candidates staff and dis theConservative new media, you are not a candidate worth voting for. Buckley saw the rise of Talk radio and brought the Establishment behind this New Media. Where are the funders for DaTechGuy,RS McCain or even the Valley? Romney, not a Conservative, nor worthy of the chair.
But, wait! I hear the audience chirping, why doesn't JSF take the Chair?
Simple, that is not my role. The person who sits in the WFB Chair must have support from candidates, Bloggers, activists and Staffers.I am not that person.
When you answer this, I need Congressional record and campaign statements please. (With quotes and dates, thank you)
3) For Republicans to win in 2012, funds and people must be invested. To flip California, the GOP must work in Los Angeles (and give funds to CRP and RPLAC) -- will Rep. Paul support Republican candidates here in the LA basin whether he is the nominee or not?
Don't tell me that "Rep. Paul has plans...," Link and quote them.
Even though the Santa Ana winds struck me with "Bloggers Writers Block," I still try to write. The serious post: American Dystopia, is still being written.
We are inching closer to my Birthday (and Iowa caucus Time), so I am prepping for next year.
This year, I have not been Blogging that much, it will be explained by the end of the month. As next year is Election (and I hope to play a major role here in the Southland), the Valley will be much more active! Stay tuned.
Please visit her shop in Hollywood and her gallery, Wonderland, next door. Her stores are up La Brea, not too far from where I am couch surfing -- do you think I should get a tattoo?
