Not to mention...borderline trollish.
Wondering how all the anti-Republican “I’m not gonna vote for McCain” folks think about about what they got?
What do these same . . . true believers . . . believe is in store for us during the mid-term elections?
Seems to me that if anyone is “anti-Republican” it would be McCain. And his daughter.
Is that you McCainiac? Go home granpa and shut up.
The fact that one will not vote for liberals with “R’s” after their names does not make them “anti-Republican.” It makes them principled. I don’t expect mere Republicans to understand principles.
I thank each and every one of you for your coments. Truly, I do.
I in particular express extreme apreciation to the forum moderators, and each and every poster, who reviewed the thread and found the content acceptable as personal political comment (mostly you did not agree with) that in other forums I might find myself banned.
So cool to be here.
I don't pledge allegiance to a party. I pledge allegiance to the ideals of Conservatism, freedom, and liberty for all Americans, where ever those can be found.
I owe the Republican party less than nothing, since they've gone out of their way to abandon and spit on the ideas and people which have made this nation great.
Republican party leaders are arrogantly disconnected from party members, and seem to think that spending their time going from talk-show to talk-show wasting their breath on the most inconsequential non-issues of the day is the way to run things. I disagree.
Thus, if you want to say that I'm "anti-Republican" for refusing to swallow the garbage spewed by McCain and the current leaders of the GOP, bring it on.
I would seriously question anyone who is "pro-Republican" at this moment, since the GOP has become a dishonest sham, supporting intellectually lazy idiots with a major sense of (unearned) entitlement.
So, what do I think about "what we got"? I think that part of what "we got" was a loud-and-clear message from the people who supported McCain hook, line and sinker to the GOP that no matter what sort of imbecile they ran, a lot of people will support the GOP because they are "pro-Republican" and not necessarily "pro-Conservatism".
Further, I think it it would have been nice if the GOP through the intellectually dishonest work of John McCain, hadn't sold it's soul for nothing right about now, since we could use a viable opposition with moral authority to fight the slide toward socialism, instead of the batch of shiftless, mediocre, mendacious thieves we have now.
That's what I think.
I doubt they are too broken up about it since a liberal is sitting in the White House. At least it wasn’t one of those awful conservatives. ;)
This is the perfect opportunity to vote strictly conservative in upcoming elections. Last November I voted Republican because of Palin. Next time I will be more hard line—no RINOs, not ever. Almost all elected Republican leaders should lose their jobs.
We’re at rock bottom. There’s nothing to lose and nothing to fear.
That’s an important point, it applying to candidates and not to the public at large. And it’s an important point that it did not apply to honest differences on policy either.
Yes, the current use has been bastardized by charlatans who wish to stifle debate, if one side of that debate doesn’t favor their personal favorite.
Run a crappy candidates lose elections.
I agree, and I think you for your comments as well.
