Ten Reasons Conservatives Should Fight for the GOP in 2006

10. While the leadership of the Republican Party has drifted, there are real conservatives in the Republican Party fighting for change. The proper response to a party that has drifted is to fight for reform, not abandon it.

9. Republicans believe in the rule of law. They believe judges should interpret laws based upon the text and original intent of the statute or constitution. Democrats want judges who fight for their social agenda.

8. Republicans have made real progress in defending the sanctity of human life, and will continue to do so while in office.

7. Republicans have cut taxes nationally, and are working to do that in Wisconsin through the Taxpayer Protection Amendment.

6. The only party that will protect marriage is the Republican Party, plain and simple. Democrats, though they don’t like to say it too loudly, don’t believe man/woman marriage is the ideal.

5. We’re close, very close to a complete Republican takeover of government. We have not been able to pass our agenda in part because we do not have enough power. The U.S. Supreme Court is 1 vote away from being a conservative dominated Court. The U.S. Senate is 5 votes away from a filibuster proof majority. And we are about 9 months away from electing a Republican Governor in Wisconsin, giving us the ability to bring sweeping change here.

4. Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean, and Chuck Schumer. You really want them running our government?

3. What good ideas to Democrats bring to the table? They are a powerless and visionless Party with no constructive agenda.

2. The GOP is our best and only hope for bringing conservative principles to bear on our government. If you want to see conservative principles more a part of our government, then you want to see more Republicans in office.

1. We can win! We really can. Don’t buy the media argument that this will be a Democratic year. Democrats have given the country no reason to turn to them. We can have a Republican governor of Wisconsin. We can have a more conservative Senate. We can and we must revive and enshrine conservative principles in our government.
