About

Good news ! We're back.

TCOT founders @michaelpleahy and @rneppell have agreed to cede control of TCOT as an organization to a third party, thereby ensuring that TCOT can be guided by an independent group and not be beholden to or controlled by any one (or two) individuals.

Details will be worked out by four TCOT members, two appointed by Leahy and two appointed by Neppell. These four will present their recommendations for Leahy and Neppell to review, modify, and accept.

Stay tuned...

About the List PDF  | Print |  E-mail
This list was first placed on the web on November 28, 2008. In the short time since then, it has become a bit of a rallying point for conservatives on Twitter. I think all of us who are on the list can conceive of many additional ways to improve the list to strengthen and grow the conservative community on Twitter.

You must primarily tweet on conservative themes and cannot be merely a "campaign profile" "political office holder profile" or a "radio or television program or publication promotional profile" to be on this list. New participants are welcome. Just nominate someone you follow or yourself and show that you are primarily on Twitter as a conservative.

To put this list in context, you will note that the #100 most followed person on Twitter has 9,000 followers, so we have a lot of work to do !

I too found your website from the Hugh Hewitt show. The Hugh Hewitt show is the most interesting and informed radio program on the air. Hugh is right on with current events of the world. Hugh is a little misguided with his choice of athletic teams. I look forward to reading your website.

Great Job Hugh
written by Dr. Bill Smith / Ozark Guru, December 06, 2008
Fantastic effort. When you began, you motivated me to get off my duff and respond to all of those who had responded. When in a few days, my twitter rating sky rocketed.

We need a few more sites like this on other issues. I am willing to help.

Hugh H was the catalist.
written by Chris ruetenik, December 06, 2008
I was brought to conservatism through listening to Dennis Prager (starting with his Religion on the Line show). Hugh Hewitt is a staple for me (as is Rush, Medved, etc) and I'm here because Hugh has been talking up this site on his show. I think this is the way to go in order to keep conservatism alive. Give 'um h*ll Michael.

I would like to second the motion of Joseph Bentley to nominate me as a Top Conservative on Twitter.

And, I'd like to return the honor by nominating Joseph Bentley. He doesn't look too hot, but he's certainly got that Alexander Hamilton look about him.

Sincerely,

Time for a (real) change
written by JP Micek, December 12, 2008
First off, thanks for ranking me on the TCOT list. It's about time we come together to oust the power drunk politicians (with both D and R after their name.) And by we -- I mean Conservatives, Market-Liberals, Objectivists & Libertarians -- together. I hope we can directly & unequivocally invite in people from each of those groups.

For far too long we've lost on the stage of public perception because the right remains segmented, while the left (no matter what their differences in final agendas) come together in one cohesive force.

Looking forward to having more of an impact. smilies/wink.gif

Saltzman's package 'Barack the Magic Negro'
written by Dr. Ada M. Fisher, December 27, 2008
It is time we all grew up and exhibited some sophistication in how we act as it relates to this Republican party we supposedly love and support. Racist actions and deeds have no place in the party. The lack of sensitivity in understanding the historical election we just had and the challenges this nation faces as we must bind our wounds as well as bring our people together requires that we set aside our biases and search out those constitutional principles inherent in our nation's foundings and our parties operation which must undergrid us as we move forward.
This is the party of Lincoln and it was founded on the backs of the oppression of blacks. If we are to be the leading party we had better understand that and act responsibly in addressing the needs of all of the citizens as we strive for more inclusiveness.

Conservative Icons
written by Mike Netherland, December 27, 2008
I just joined TCOT and have been reading the first few posts here idolizing Hugh Hewitt. I stopped paying much attention to Mr. Hewitt after he said that it was "probably a wise thing for the media in this country to have refrained from publishing the Mohammed Cartoons," or something to that effect. He even debated the wisdom of essentially going along with the fatwah with Cliff May. I wrote him and asked him to explain his position to me. He declined.

Striving for Inclusiveness
written by Mike Netherland, December 29, 2008
With all due respect for Dr. Fisher and her heritage, I have to take exception to her statements here. First, I am not sure what she means when she writes that the Republican Party was "...founded on the backs of the oppression of blacks." So I beg her to clarify this remark.

Second, according to our new understanding of the founding of the GOP, she exhorts us to "...act responsibly in addressing the needs of all of the citizens as we strive for more inclusiveness."

That an active member of the GOP would keep with a liberal concept they call "inclusiveness" is disturbing and, unfortunately, a manifestation of the decline of the Party. Inclusiveness, despite the meaning it would suggest, is word that liberals use to divide the nation into groups of "victims" of society. I, for one, hope that the GOP is NOT striving for inclusiveness.

Now, that said, I believe this group is peopled by "conservatives" and not "Republicans." Failing to make this distinction will lead to the further decline of GOP. Conservatives' mission now is save the Party from itself and I would hope to see this group vigorously defend its principles against the liberal mindset that continues to seep into our party.

Hello Everyone
written by Keith Erwood, January 29, 2009
My Views are conservative and until I found TCOT yesterday on Twitter, I felt so alone...

I now know I am not alone, but it's going to be a long four years...

My blog is not political really, more about business continuity and disaster recovery, but I also feel that National Security fits in this area, and from my personal perspective, that is going down the tubes as well.

Feel free to say hello and I look forward to getting to know you all better.

American needs those of good character to stand and fight for it again!
written by Bill English, March 17, 2009
In this day and age we as Americans are overwelmed by the extreme excesses of information and spin. It is the Conservative that is able to look past all of that and see to the truth of the matter. Lately those of us who have seen the truth are getting more than a little frightened by what we see coming at us in very short order.

The Constitution of the United States is being ripped to shreds by regulations rather than laws and those regulations are being enforced as laws. A frightening thought don't you think?

It is up to and emcumbant up the conservative to fight and protect both our Constitution and our nation from the overwelming foolishness that is currently taking place, or we will loose what our fore-fathers fought so hard to bring about, and we will loose it through complanceny and sheer laziness. It's time to instill some common sense back into America!!

What about holding Republicans accountable
written by melyssa, March 23, 2009
I'm sorry that the Republicans lost. Maybe had you held your party's feet to the fire, America would not be in the mess she is right now. Do you really think that the Republican party is going to change and all of a sudden found GOD? This is simply an attempt to hijack well meaning people to put them to work for the Republican machine. I've seen enough of the Republican machine...and the Democratic one too! Both are in it up to their necks and BOTH are responsible for the mess that is America. Leahy, your time would be better spent asking why the Republican party does not repent to America for what it has done to her!

Outraged at the Obama administration, Senator Reid and Nancy Pelosi for spending us into era of no return!
written by Schelly Frane, April 03, 2009
After the passage of the 3.5 trillion budget by the House and the overwhelming passage of every admendment today in the Senate and the unconstitutional manner in which this is being "shoved" through the Senate, I am not only ANGRY, I am SCARED to death for my children and yours!! This is thee most reckless and fiscally irresponsible budget plan I have ever seen come out of Washington in my 40 some years! Everyone thought the Bush years were bad, well we are all in for awake up call now, because this is going to change America as we know it and NOT for the better. The increase in the size of Government is just one small part of this, the larger and more concerning part of it is, which programs will be growing and for how long we have now committed the funds to these programs. Does anyone really believe that "after the economy gets back up" then we will cut or cut back these programs and pull back the funding? If anyone does, please call me cuz I have one of those "ocean front properties in Arizona"!!
Lets pretend you are really rich, just indulge me for minute lol, and you want to invest in a business...I am the sales person and I say "I have the perfect business for you, They are in debt up to their ears, 1/4 of their workforce is laid off, and right now as we speak, they are going to borrow unprecidented amounts of money and they are going to use this money to grow the management department, a kind of "stimulus for the business" and by the way...the company will need to probably borrow quite bit more in the near future, and the President of the company a guy named "Obama" and the other 2 top mgmt team members, Reid & Pelosi, they are going to run this company without listening to the board recommendations and all decisions will be made by these 3, Now....DO YOU WANT TO INVEST IN OUR FUTURE?

I have a couple of suggestions for the site:

New Advocacy Tool for TCOT members
written by Publishaletter, December 10, 2009
There is a new, free website, PublishALetter.com that allows one to submit letters to the editors of all the key newspapers in the US and the world. The letter can also be posted on the site itself. The site is neutral and it does not welcome mass mailings. However, it can be an important additional avenue for the TCOT audience to have their independent voices heard and shared.
