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.
Agreed.
You’re right.
You don't have a point. But I guess when you are in the Han Solo wing of the GOP, you don't have to bother incorporating all those annoying facts into your worldview.
Hillary Clinton could take this thread and all the “brilliant” responses and post it on her wall.
Riddle me this, Batmon - if Bush signs a shamnesty bill, will he bear any responsibility for the damage that will cause to the GOP?
Or do you think our elected leaders in the GOP are blameless for how they use (and misuse) their power?
Generally, those opposed to the Dubai deal were the same one opposed to the Miers nomination and seem to be the same ones opposed to open borders and legalizing regularizing [TSnow's and the WH's new wiggle-word] the illegals.
Whereas, generally, those who supported the Dubai deal were the same ones supporting the Miers nomination and seem to be the same ones advocating open borders and legalizing regularizing [TSnow's and the WH's new wiggle-word] the illegals. And they seem to be the ones who cry alarmist at mention of the Council on Foreign Relations, North American Union, Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, TransHighway. This group does seem to support measures that favor globalization.
Each group does seem to represent a faction of the GOP. The first group seems to be the conservatives, and the second group seems to be the big-business country-club GOP. Several of the presidential wannabes are trying to convince the base that they are conservatives, when their actions and history seem to reveal them as globalists.
Rick forgot who he represented ...and began to represent himself...he became unapproachable...his office couldnt or wouldnt answer the simplest of questions regarding the welfare of his constituents...he began to turn off many of those who were his voters...although i ended up voting for him (because i detest Casey) it was a hard thing to do ...Rick has no one but himself to blame for his defeat.
You don’t OWN our votes.
If you want Conservatives and (l)ibertarian Republicans to come out to vote, then you better put forward candidates and a platform the espouse fiscal conservatism and aren’t pro-abort, gun grabbing and free speech stealing.
To all you Liberal Republicans - Listen up, I’m going to say this once. If WINNING is Soooooooooooo important to you, if that’s the only thing that matters.... then when a conservative or libertarian Republican is on the ballot or up for vote in the primaries, SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTHS and fall in line.
It’s what you expect US to do.
And that didn’t work out, did it?
So if you want to win, shelve your “principles”, shut up and get in line. Winning is all that matters, right?
Basically it boils down to the corporatist wing of the GOP using their resources to run roughshod over conservatives. Of course, the same Han Solo pubbie posters on FR who ask why blacks largely automatically vote for Dems, often against their own intererests, turn around and demand that conservatives do just that for corporatist pubbies who don’t give a fig about the long-term interests of this country.
You are one of those “Republicans” that would vote for a communist, homosexual, drug addict if he had a “R” beside his name. It is time for the Republican party to nominate conservatives.
Why aren't YOU held to account???
Vote for who we say to, and there won't be any problems.
You don't own our votes, and you can't win elections without us. If you want to win, shut up and vote for the most conservative/libertarian candidate and abandon your left leaning policies.
Stop putting forward gun grabbing, pro-abort, free speech stealing RINOs
Time-honoed conservative recipe for liberal domination: “Cut off nose; spite face”!
Oh, I get it. We need to contact these guys because the GOP had done such a wonderful job on immigration, border control, and spending when they had the clear majority.
I'm really getting tired of the "Whiny Bitch" wing of the GOP pointing fingers at the few who exercised the only punitive powers they had to show the politicians that actions and inactions have consequences and that merely delaying the march into socialism isn't good enough. Remember when Will Rodgers said "Nobody's life, liberty, or property is safe when congress is in session" he didn't use a party qualifier. Reagan was right when he said government isn[t the solution, it is the problem. The afore mentioned ex-senators had largely morphed into big government democrats with the exception of a few special interest issues and some public rhetoric.
Yeah? Watch when we send your boy Rudy home crying.
Democrat registration in PA is up slightly in recent years but nothing at all like what turnout was in ‘06 for the D’s. Santorum’s vote total was slightly above the R average for the 20 year period (slightly below if you throw out Hafer 1990).
But Rendell’s and Casey Jr.’s totals were extremely high for D midterms.
So no, it doesn’t look like R’s crossing over — it looks like people who don’t ordinarily vote in midterms voted for the D’s...vote fraud, illegal aliens, or just a highly salient election for the D’s....hmmm....
I’m surprised your Montgomery County folks don’t have any idea what hit them.
Funny how you're not getting an answer.
I'll tell you this much .. I don't give a bleeping hoot anymore
You people screwed yourselves royally ... so deal with it
BINGO!
We screwed ourselves. It wasn't the fault of pubbies who cavorted with Abramoff, covered up a sex scandal, or who abandoned core GOP principles and spent money like drunk sailors.
No, it's all about a very few people who decided not to vote.
As long as syncophants like you keep saying that, guess what? The GOP won't clean up its act and will continue to lose ground.
So it's all about bashing conservatives. On a conservative website at that.
