Lazamataz's Opus: No longer a Republican (Vanity)

Now | Me

[Lazamataz]

Well, they went and did it.

The Republicans look like they will wimp out, not exercise the so-called Nuclear Option, and Harry Reid will PERMIT two judges to be approved and disapprove four others. Does anyone think for a second the Democrats won't "go nuclear" in a heartbeat if the roles were reversed?

This seals the deal for me. I am a Republican no more. It seems it does not matter if I vote Republican anyways, all I get is more liberalism. I am a man without a political party. I am a conservative without a home.

Between Bushes enthusiastic embrace of illegal immigration, and our party's inability to get even moderately conservative judges approved, what's the freakin' point of voting Republican any more? What's the point of voting? I will get liberalism no matter how I vote. My main issue is guns, and it appears the Democrats have learned their lesson on that one, so it appears I will be safe on the firearms front. Everything else the Republicans stand for, they stand for in word only. They do not seem to want to act. Therefore, I do not seem to want to vote Republican any more.

This is my Opus -- not from Free Republic, but from the Republican party. Even when they have the majority, they surrender.

The Republican Party is the France of politics.

Bill Frist did not make any deal with the Democrats, and at the end you are a raving idiot.

[Badray]

Why is it the mentality of one such as yourself that jumps to the conclusion that if I've had it with GOP wimpiness that the alternative is to join the Democrats?

[Lazamataz]

Bill Frist did not make any deal with the Democrats, and at the end you are a raving idiot.

Thank G-d, and in the end you are a foreigner who likes to tell Americans how to run their business.

[Lazamataz]

GayGay! Wow, ALL the Clownz are here today.

[Badray]

That the Democrats even want to compromise means we must have the votes.

And the fool pubbies will take the compromise even if they have the votes to win. They will cave when they don't need to.

"They should know good and well what's going to happen if they stay the "liberal-lite" course."

What's going to happen!? Yeah! F'N-A! Let's throw the Presidency back over to the Clintons so that we can beat our chests and declare "MINE!, MINE!"... let's give Dubya a proper spanking! Yeah! Real smart.

I voted for Perot because I believed that he was the best candidate. Clinton was then elected. That man's wreck on our government was therefore partly my fault.

NEVER AGAIN! Straight Ticket GOP Henceforth!

[Badray]

WELL THIS BATTLE IS BIGGER THAN SPECTOR AND I NEVER GIVE UP MY SHIP WITHOUT A DAMN FIGHT, I SAY DAMN THE DEMOCRATS FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!

I agree with you and would venture to say that Laz does too. The problem is that GOP has lost their rudder and are merely going in circles getting nowhere and not at speed.

[OKIEDOC]

I may have spoken to soon.

I am listening to Brit and he is saying that Fritzy and Dubya won't accept the halfassed deal the Demorats are proposing.

The Rats are tough street fighters but who knows.

I'm glad that the President is supporting Delay.

[Lazamataz]

Looks like Frist grew a pair.

I hereby file a RORO -- a Republican Opus Rescind Order. If they are going to act like a real majority party, I just mught stay.

All people who told me so are now free to post "I tolla you so".

But, dear Republican Party -- take a close look at this thread. Your staunchest members have really had it up to here. Start putting together a string of successes, or you might re-earn all those defections.

[OKIEDOC]

Well, from the looks of things there are right now about 570 plus takers.

His or her post sure generated lots of hot discussion and I for one do appreciate that.

[don-o]

ALL the Clownz are here today.

So it's a reunion of sorts, yes?

[Badray]

They won't send farewell cards, but they surely send the same stupid solicitation letter that they've send me for 4 years along with 2 or 3 others every week trying to get me and my money to come back.

[Lazamataz]

You told me so. I eat humble pie.

But we are very very pissed out here. They need to remember that and start behaving like they aren't looking to lose 2006.

[null and void]

But, dear Republican Party -- take a close look at this thread.

What makes you sure they didn't?

[Michael Goldsberry]

Fine. Welcome back to the Big Tent. Your new assigned seating is back there behind the lavatory.

Do be a pal and grab a mop while you're there, won't you?

[Lazamataz]

Fine. Welcome back to the Big Tent. Your new assigned seating is back there behind the lavatory.

Throw a dog a bone and make it the woman's lavatory?

[don-o]

Is there some breaking news that indicated that Frist has found his 'nads, sgain?

If so, let it be known that FR, with Laz leading the charge, encouraged the Leader to search for them.

[Lazamataz]

Kidding aside, this thread demonstrates the palpable anger the base has towards the Republican leadership. We're back on the plantation, but we now know how to leave it. Let's get a little conservatism out of these people. A little success.

[k2blader]

Looks like Frist grew a pair.

Are you sure?

I don't buy it 'til all the votes have been cast.

[don-o]

That's what I am asking. When is the vote?
