We have been seeing America go to the "dogs" for 6 years now and still some "brain dead" fools cling to the idea that they will stay home rather than vote for a "Pubbie" that they deem a RINO.
Ok, my parting shot for the night:
Why are Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Louie Golmert, Rand Paul, and the other conservative base Republicans serving in Congress urging everyone to get out and vote for the Pub Party in the midterm elections, hmmmm? Or should you turn on all of them too for wanting you to vote Republican.
“Cruz urged voters to protect America’s religious liberties by voting for a Republican Senate majority during the upcoming midterm congressional elections.”
I rest my case. Nitey nite.
Just tell people to get out and vote. Whom they vote for is their right or is at least for now. Turn off Fox News and the manipulating talking head party propaganda apologist GOP-E community organizers {donor money distributors}, sit back, take a deep breath, and think for yourself for once.

Goodnight.
That makes Nancy Pelosi’s quotes today even more telling. Their days are numbered when referring to republicans.
Woah! That’s not the Viking Kitty I was expecting to see! Bring on the zots!!!
Tell that to Chris McDaniel dealing with the Barbours' smears and walking around money attacks. The RINOs have learned the dem tactics very well. If there were an honest bone in any RINO's body, they would just go join up with the dems. The establishment knows that like the dems, they will never win in a fair fight. So they cheat.
You delusional GOPe people must think low info blacks are the smartest, most savvy demographic group in the nation. Why else on earth would you be so willing for conservatives to emulate them.
Disagree. If you're voting for the corrupt two party system where the only difference between the D's and R's is their party label, then you've not right to complain.
Those who don't vote HAVE the right to complain - they're the ones refusing to validate the corrupt two-party system by voting for it.
Just a thought.
If they are early voting for every minority, wouldnt it be wise to go door to door and help the poor working traditional Americans vote that have felt disenfranchised by our Government?
Ive met many poor working Americans that dont vote because they feel their vote doesnt matter. They see the non-producers waving their Govt handouts in their face, and they can more easily see the corruption, because they live among it daily.
I am amazed at the ignorance of some wanna be FReepers who try to post here. And yes [ The stupid is Zotted ]
You read my mind! I sure would like to know the other screen names they are using. Now every time I see one of them congratulate a post, I will suspect they are the same person congratulating themselves.
I’m not sure why the FReeper wisdom — vote against the RINO in the primary, vote against the ‘Rat in the general, repeat as needed — waned in some quarters of FReeperdom, but it has.
Okay, I can see in a deep blue state or district where there is not hope of even replacing a ‘Rat with a RINO, voting on principle for a Constitution Party or (depending on your principles) Libertarian candidate when the GOP insists on running some objectionable candidate, but with that narrow exception, against the RINO in the primary, against the ‘Rat in the general should be the standard.
the frog will jump out of the pot if the water is heated rapidly
Kinda like a wife with a black eye and fat lip insisting that He really does love me.
So you are going to have instead two black eyes and two fat lips when the Dems win. Plus more Fascist/Socialists on the SCOTUS. Bravo, well done.
So our choice is the bigger bad who will break down the door, beat and rape your daughter and set the house on fire
Vs
The not so big bad who will break down the door, beat and rape your daughter but WON’T set the house on fire.
Oh joy.
You know, I have real trouble with generaizations. There are plenty of Pubs that are anti amnesty, anti homo marriage, and anti abortion in particular. You paint with a very broad brush.
We refuse to vote for the pubs who are pro-amnesty, pro-homo marriage and pro-abortion so you shouldn’t have any problems with us.
See # 281.
Odd that he seems to have slunk off. His post history reads like a RINO guidebook so I haZ no shocked face.
It has because the GOP-E posters have a concerted effort underway here on FR to blame Conservatives for their losing elections, rather than finally coming to the correct understanding that RINO's and RINO policies are nothing more than Democrat party "lite" and therefore, unacceptable.
I'm just so sick and tired of the Republican Party. I hate them. Don't get me wrong, I hate the Democrats too. I'll NEVER EVER EVER vote for a Democrat. I've voted for Republican's who've LIED to each and every one of us saying what they'd do if elected, then the slimy no good bastards turn around and align themselves with the Democrats.
Illegal Immigration? No difference between the two parties.
Budget Deficit? No difference between the two parties. If there were, the House of Representatives would've closed the checkbook, refused to give Obama any more money, and by force of lack of appropriations, would've balanced the budget. But they didn't.
Outsourcing Jobs? Republican Establishment all for it.
More H1B's? Republican's all for it.
Wall Street Run-Amok? Republican's all for it.
Failure to challenge the Fed on interest rate policy, printing $85 billion/month out of thin air? Republican's silent or all for it.
"Bork" Obama's extreme leftist liberal appointments to the US Supreme Court? Republican's laid down and gave Obama what he wanted.
Adding $8 Trillion (and counting) to the National Debt, nearly doubling it during Obama's turn? Exactly what did the Republican's do to stop it or just says "NO!" (Answer: Nada. Zilch. Zip, Zero. Nyet. Nine.)
This list can go on, and on, and on. Why am I not showing up to vote in the Federal Elections this year? Because I hate both parties. One party, the Democrats we know are liars and out to destroy America. They're actually upfront about it too. The tell you what you'll get if you vote for them, then they deliver on their destruction.
The Republican's on the other hand (and more specifically, the Republican GOP-Elite) smile, look you right in the eye and LIE about what they'll do if elected. Yep, the slimy, well polished, well spoken bastards will tell you everything you want to hear. Why, they've got JUST THE CURE for Ameica's ills. And when they tell you and I what the cure is, we buy into it hook, line and sinker.
Like I said, Democrats are upfront about their intentions to destroy America. The Republicans, and the GOP-E more specifically are the worst kind of lying assholes I can think of. They say one thing, do another.
I've heard it said for YEARS now here on FR (I've been around since 1998....) that we HAVE to vote Republican to stop the Democrats.
Ok, stop the Democrats and then what --- get Democrat policy from the Republican party? Yep, because that's what's been happening.
The Party of Ronald Reagan is no more. The party of smaller, less intrusive government went by the wayside in a big hurry with the election of GW Bush. Yeah, I know it's near heresy to say anything negative about GW Bush but the FACTS ARE he and the Republican Party starting in 2001 dramatically expanded the size and scope of the Federal Government. GW Bush signed the Patriot Act - the very act that started this rapid, near limitless incursion into our daily lives that the Obama Administration just pressed the gas pedal to the floor on.
Why exactly are we, the citizens of this country in the position of fearing our Government when the Founding Fathers intended the exact opposite?
It's because the corrupt two-party system where the only difference between the R's and the D's is less and less about policy, the size of Government, or even taxation! The Republican's spent like drunken sailors when Bush and the Republican's controlled all three branches of Government! Yes, Obama's worse -- but who tried stopping Bush and the Republican's from spending so much? NO ONE. Why? Because it was the REPUBLICANS in power, and as long as they were in power, Big Government was ok.
No, it's not OK. The party of Ronald Reagan is gone. Never to return with the GOP-E at the helm. Certainly never to return as long as the stupid, slimy, corrupt bastards continue to try imitating the Democrats on damn' near every issue and policy.
Want to know why this country's in so much trouble? It's because of all the stupid idiots who go to the damn' polls and keep voting for the R's and D's, never stopping to ask themselves if that's what's really best for the country.
So excuse the F**K out of me if I refuse to vote for and validate the corrupt two-party system at the Federal level. The rest of y'all can go right on ahead without me and keep the corruption going. I refuse.
The founding fathers intended that we'd be able to change the course of government via the ballot box. The founding fathers also were smart enough to know that once the government figured out it could sway people's votes one way or another, effectively "buying" their votes, that the country would be lost.
This country is lost. The only thing left up for debate is WHEN it became lost. Some would argue November 2000. Others would say November 2008. What does it matter? Our country is lost. The ballot box is no longer an effective means to right the ship of state of our country.
I have a saying about what happens when the ballot box no longer works. It's in my tagline, and it was inspired by the following quote from Thomas Jefferson:
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."
