2 powerful forces join to take over GOP

Richard Viguerie, often called the “founding father of conservatism” for his advances in direct-mail fundraising, is on a campaign to take back the Republican Party from the “big government” advocates.

In that pursuit, he has a new book, “Takeover: The 100-Year War for the Soul of the GOP and How Conservatives Can Finally Win It,” coming out in just days.

Now he’s being joined in his effort by a force powerful enough to turn the tide in the 2010 elections and leave the U.S. House of Representatives in the hands of Republicans, including many that follow a conservative pathway.

That would be the tea party, represented here by Tea Party Patriots President Jenny Beth Martin, who wrote the forward for Viguerie’s book.

She explains that a “bitter political civil war” is happening now that ultimately will determine whether America remains a constitutional republic.

“The modern version of this struggle is not between Democrats and Republicans, but within the Republican Party itself,” she writes. “It is a civil war between limited-government, constitutional conservatives and the progressive, establishment wing of the GOP.

The establishment Republicans are trying to perform self surgery - a removal of their heart (conservatives). The doctors are; head of sugery Dr.Rove assisted by Dr.Kristol and Dr.McCaine. If they are successful they will have killed themselves. The only way the patient can live is to have a heart transplant to a new body (party) that is free of the cancer of NWO infected establishment types.

Our first progressive President was Teddy Roosevelt, a Republican.
