I’m embarrassed
3/15/07 | A disgusted conservative

Posted on 03/15/2007 4:19:42 PM PDT by Popman

I’m embarrassed

I’m embarrassed to have an “R” stamped on my voter ID card

Bear in mind I didn’t say I’m embarrassed to be a conservative, but in today’s political lexicon the two are linked like democrat equals liberal, thanks to the great conservative leaders that used to lead and run the party political machine that made these terms almost interchangeable in the American mind for the last twenty years.

In a larger sense, I am way past embarrassed with our political process. Looking and watching Congress between the House and Senate is like watching a bunch of children play with dog vomit.

I want to scream: Stop, Stop, Stop. Don’t you know what you are doing?

Didn’t your parents teach you better? The Democrat children tell us their parents want them to play in the vomit because George Bush made the mess and if you get sick it will be his fault.

The Republicans children tell us we just want be liked and to be able to get away with playing in vomit regardless of how messy it is because they can or could until last November.

The general population just watch American Idol and don’t even realize their political process is broke down like to a whore on crack pretending to be Miss American

What happened to the adults in our political process?

You know the congressmen who do the right thing regardless of the cost to them politically?

The congressman who lead by example no matter the cost?

The congressmen who speak in plain words and give honest straight answers?

I am seriously considering not being involved with any republican candidate to support.

Why should I?

Just to have them be spineless, gutless and feckless kissing democrat arse?

But you say support the conservative candidate?

Hello, can I buy you a clue?

The REPUBLICAN PARTY (RNC) will not support a CONSERVATIVE.

Follow the Money

I share your discontent. It has become very confusing...it also is an eye opener.

Take a deep breath. Its all just smoke and mirrors. The good guys are still winning. Go to this web site and check out Dr. Paul the Texas Congressman running for President on the Republican ticket. You decide. http://www.ronpaul.org/

I agree with you on the "follow the money" part of it, but how about DOING something like helping support (not just financially) real conservatives that you can believe in.

They are "dying on the vine" because of lack of support from real conservatives....and I'm not mentioning any names but I'm sure you must have someone in mind.

Hey...we can sit on our cans and gripe about it 24/7...but what has happened to the doers?

Go and have your dinner now. The RNC will not support anyone that early. Let the process sort itself out and whoever wins the primaries will be supported by the RNC and should be supported by every good Conservative and Republican.

Some people need to vent. It's a very serious, and very real concern popman has.
But then, some people just need to be short sighted a-holes.

Not saying you are one of the latter... BM.

BM? Where have I heard that before?

"I don't vote any more."

Oh, ya. That's intelligent. Then I will note your name for the future to pay absolutely no attention to your opinions.

I could change my party affiliation to "I", but I would feel like I pissed on Reagan's grave

Seems so easy, doesn't it? But every time someone votes third party they get jumped on and hear how the destruction of the world is their fault. How you can't be a true conservative and must be a troll on this board if you don't vote for anyone who claims to be Republican (yes, this happened to me when I admitted that I voted for a Libertarian instead of John McCain and *gasp* even once voted for a Democrat for school superintendent, since his opponent was just a Democrat with a Republican name tag).

I suppose you will be comfortable sitting on your hands?

An alternative

Best bumper sticker of the 1984 (I think) campaign: "Don't Vote. It Only Encourages Them."

You must be talking about some other man because you sure aren't acting like one.
