Contact Senator George Allen, Senator Rick Santorum and Senator Jim Talent To STOP the Immigration Bill ...
Wait...
These solid conservatives lost in 2006 because so-called conservatives were so angry about illegal immigration that they stayed home. Thus, allowing the eventual passing of the amnesty bill they opposed in the first place.
Let's see.
Staying home in 2006 was a principled position even though those who stayed home stabbed the troops in the back and these three solid conservative senators.
With all these new conservative principles, I can't keep up anymore.
Senator Jim Talent?? Where have you been?
sarc/
The people who stayed at home in the last election knew this was going to happen. Those individuals are therefore accomplices to the destruction of our country.
Continue reading - that was “new yorker’s” point - that these good guys were voted out of office because conservatives in those states stayed home. And now look what we’re stuck with!
There you go again. Blaming conservatives for staying home when it was a swing in centrist votes that lost the election for those men.
When the Republican Party leadership abandons its principles on fiscal restaint, and immigration (ala the President) I can see why people whould stay home. And even though I didnt, to say that people who stayed home stabbed the troops in the back is the stupidest thing Ive heard yet today, but Ill follow the replies to your post and Im sure it wont take long to find someone saying something even stupider.
BTTT. Open borders RINOs are doing terrible damage to the GOP, and good conservative leaders are paying the most for it. This is among the reasons why I cannot support McCain or Giuliani.
The GOP lost because they squandered their power on earmarks and drifted away from their principles. Allen showed he wasn't ready for prime time. Santorum forgot he was supposed to represent Pennsylvania, plus the Dems finally ran a pro-lifer against him.
Try blaming the perps. Noone stayed home. The dead voted.
The living Dems voted five times. The felons voted.
And the illegal aliens voted.
Umm...Senator George Allen (R-Virginia) was defeated by Jim Webb in the 2006 bielection.
Hardly... it was no secret that a Democrat-controlled Congress would do everything in its power to stab the troops in the back, erase the border with Mexico (with Jorge's help), silence our radio stations, socialize our healthcare system, take away our guns and destroy our country.
The people who "cut and run" from the polls allowed this to happen must be held to account. At the very least, they can learn what a horrible mistake they made and vote accordingly the next time.
a) "the base stayed home" or
b) Republicans voted Dem.
Even now, they don't know. I PERSONALLY know "conservatives" who didn't vote for Blackwell or DeWine because they weren't "Christian" enough. (go figure).
The only piece of data that suggests anything is that the smoking issue in OH substantially out-polled ANY candidate at any level. So people turned out to vote against smoking.
I’m sooooooo impressed with your ‘purity’ and ‘perfection’... your logic is perfect.
True genius. Blame the people who actually voted for someone like Allen for his removal.
ROTFL at those that, apparently, only read post titles =P
I'd rather have a choice between a dem and a pubbie, instead of a choice between a dem and a pubbie who should be a dem.
I’m sooooooo impressed with your ‘purity’ and ‘perfection’... your logic is perfect.
And now the lame-assed Rudybot talking point. We demand purity.
As if Rudy only had one or two warts. Sorry, he's got a face full of them.
Allen showed he wasn’t ready for prime time.
Not fair to Allen. Hillary saw him as a real threat. One word cost him his seat -— macaca. For Hillary and the Rats, the press played that for everything it was worth and cost him the election. On the other hand, what did F’ing Jew bastard do to Hillary? Nothing. She lied about it and got away with it despite to witnesses and a lie detector test by Paul Fray. Trooper Larry Patterson had six people who could have sworn that she used such language, but no one was interested.
OH is a tough state to use to gauge the national mood in 2006, given how many problems there were with the Taft administration.
