I’m Tired of Neo-Cons Being Tired of Conservatives

Okay, so George Bush has shown that his ‘compassionate conservatism’ is really socialism with conservative lip service. Bush has proven that he is a liberal with a thin veneer of faux conservatism covering the big-government, big-spending core of his true self. So what? As ‘good conservatives’ we should ‘remain focused’ and pull that Republican lever in the voting booth no matter what our lying eyes tell us? That is what establishment Republicans want their conservative base to do: “Sit down, shut up, and vote as we, the enlightened, anointed insiders tell you to.” Mind you, they don’t want you, the conservatives, the citizens that have remained true to the American Ideals of the founders, to think about how they are using you and are selling you down the river to special interest groups. The neo-cons that control the Republican Party today are hoping that rank and file conservatives will mindlessly vote for Bush, keeping their heads in the sand, until it’s too late and they’ve developed a new constituency to keep them in power. That new constituency will consist of newly married Log Cabin Republicans (gays), welfare dependents sucking up to the new government tit on the right, and amnestied illegals now eligible to vote (as well as more readily able to take your job because they’ll work for less, especially since you’re being taxed to pay their government supplementals that maintain their standard of living).

Establishment Republicans are coming out and trying to silence the uproar over Bush’s amnesty plan for illegals. The establishment types (neo-cons) are telling conservatives to keep it down and ‘look at the long view, the big picture.’ What crap! How many times do conservatives have to compromise their values, their beliefs, their standards? Why do we always have to give in but we don’t see anyone else giving in?

The latest in the string of ‘keep your mouths shut’ articles I’ve seen was on GOPUSA, by the president and CEO of that organization, Bobby Eberle. The title of his article was ‘Bush-Bashing Conservatives Should Focus on the Big Picture.’ I wrote Mr. Eberle to inform him that conservatives were keeping the big picture, that it was Bush who wasn’t. To me, Eberle’s article, along with all the other ‘hey conservatives, keep quiet about how Bush isn’t conservative’ articles are proof that conservatives and traditionalists are the embarrassing, if needed, stepchildren of the Republican Party. That in itself tells you the Republican Party is not conservative any more.

Given a laundry list of items, would any principled conservative vote for someone who: Continuously increases government spending, driving us deeper into debt; expands central government power over the states; undermines the Bill of Rights with bills such as the USA Patriot Act; cuts deals with other countries that undermine our economy via so-called free trade deals that only go one way (only out with our jobs and only in with products); wants to give millions of criminals (illegal aliens) a pass, thus not only blurring our boarder, but driving wages down and encouraging even more illegals to flood our markets in hopes of yet another amnesty a few years down the road? This is George Bush. He is no conservative. Why vote for a liberal in Republican clothing?

There was a political shift over the last twenty years in the South, as Southerners woke up to the fact that the Democratic Party had been taken over by socialists and no longer represented their interests, thus causing the huge migration to the ‘Party of Reagan.’ Southerners, and other conservatives and traditionalists, need to wake up to the fact that the Republican Party is morphing into merely an evil twin of the Democratic Party, and they need to migrate to another political entity. It could even happen this election year. The key is not which party conservatives and traditionalists are with, but that they stand by their ideals, stand on principle. The neo-cons have already shown that conservatives don’t have a seat at the table in the Republican Party, so why cast our lot with them?

Here’s something else to consider: Even if the House of Representatives kill this amnesty plan of Bush’s, and the establishment Republicans wink at conservatives and traditionalists saying, “Hey, we knew it wouldn’t pass, we just wanted to influence Hispanic votes by acting like we care,” don’t buy it. If the plan goes down to defeat this summer, once Bush gets re-elected in November you can bet it will be back with a vengeance, and the House and Senate will pass the amnesty plan. Nothing in the past 10 years, since the ‘Republican Revolution,’ shows me that the Republicans are conservative or mean anything they say concerning supporting conservative positions. No, there won’t be a socialist getting my vote this year, be he Democrat or be he Republican. As for me, I’ll be voting conservative, which means most likely the Constitution Party. I’m not throwing my vote away; Bush threw it away with everything he and the neo-cons have done for the last four years.

Gosh... I just don't understand why conservatives don't embrace all this deficit spending and all these groovy new social programs.

You better embrace 'em.

Otherwise the dems will get elected, and we'll have deficit spending and new social programs.

[Consort]

(Rant Whine alert)

[OWK]

Exactly.

What's with all the whining?

We should praise the new entitlement programs.

We should embrace all the new spending.

We should cheer for expansion of the NEA.

Cuz they were promoted by republicans... not them crummy ole democrats.

[Agnes Heep]

The sad fact is that the people who swing national elections in this country wouldn't know conservatism if it took its clothes off, painted its buttocks purple and danced naked on top of Dan Rather's desk, screaming "This is conservatism, baby!" Those are the people you need to reach. Do that, and the politicians will take care of themselves. Meantime, you do the best you can.

[theFIRMbss]

Here I stand, the goddess of Desire, set men on fire, I have this power, morning noon and night it's drink and dancing, some quick romancing, and then a quick shower, stage door johnnies always surround me, they always hound me, with one request, who can satisfy their lustful habits, I'm not a rabbit! I need some rest! I'm tired, sick and tired of love, I've had my fill of love, from below and above, tired, tired of being admired, tired of love uninspired, let's face it, I'm tired! I've been with 1000's of men, again and again, they promise the moon, they always coming and going, going and coming, and always too soon! Right girls? I'm tired, tired of playing the game, ain't it a crying shame? I'm so tired, God dammit I'm tired! I'm tired, tired of playing the game, ain't it a crying shame, I'm so tired [soldiers:] she's tired -she's tired sick and tired of love -give her a break she's had her fill of love -she's not a snake from bellow and above -can't you see she's sick? tired -she's bushed tired of being admired -let her alone tired of love uninspired -get off the phone she's tired -don't you know she's pooped? I've been with 1000's of men, again and again, they sing the same toon, the start with Byron and Shelly, and jump on your belly, and bust your ballon! aye! Tired, tired of playing the game, ain't it a freakin shame, I'm so... let's face it, everything below the waste is kapput! [Lili von Shtupp (Madeline Kahn), wr. Mel Brooks]

Otherwise the dems will get elected, and we'll have deficit spending and new social programs.

What we would be reading if Algore was doing these things:

If we had a Republican majority in the House, a Republican controlled Senate, and a Republican in the White House none of this would be happenning....

[looscnnn]

"Say what you will about GW, he has (at least) kept our nation sovereign."

Too bad the USSC hasn't, using international law to back their rulings.

[OWK]

Good enough?

Well I guess that depends on what you're looking for..

If you want...

Federalization of a whole new class of airport union security slugs..

A massive new entitlement program.

Expansion of medicare.

The largest single porkbarrel spending bill in the history of the republic.

Expansion of federal involvement in education.

Expansion of the NEA.

Renewal of anti-gun legislation.

And out of control spending which will enslave our children for generations...

Bush is definitely good enough.

In fact... he's perfect.

[Consort]

What's with all the whining?

Whining is a good way of drowning out your message and your concerns. It gives the impression of weakness, it is not convincing, it sounds phony, it's tiresome.....(you can fill in the rest).

[Sockdologer]

Look. No one's telling you to embrace everything the President's done. But use a little common sense.
There are two people who stand a chance of winning
the election - President Bush and the Democratic Nominee.
That's really it. Now, if you sincerely think that the
country will be better off if you pick the Democratic
nominee over the President, well that's what you ought to do. But if you think that the country would be even a little
better off if you pick the President, you owe it to your
country to pick him.

If all this is just about making a point or getting vengeance, you're doing you're doing yourself and
your fellow citizens a disservice.

[looscnnn]

"Jeff Adams should just vote for a Democrat, it's the same result"

Hmm, let see. Horse sh*t in one hand and cow sh*t in the other, either way you have sh*t.

[Seruzawa]

Many years ago Rush Limbaugh said that we would only know just how conservative the Republicans are when they controlled the House, Senate and the Presidency.

Well, now we know. They are Borrow and Spenders rather than Tax and Spenders. GWB is making a ploy of fiscal responsibility now... only because of the falling poll numbers amongst conservatives. He still needs the votes, but if re-elected I agree with you. He will expand the power of Govt more than any President since LBJ. At least with a DemocRAT president and a Pubbie legislature the 'Tax Collectors for the Welfare State' will exercise some financial discipline. They are unable to say no to a drunken sailor Pubbie in the White house.

I used to buy the argument that if you vote for a 3rd party you are voting for a democrat. Maybe so. It is a difficult choice. But voting for the Socialist-Lites has only brought us more socialism and totalitarianism. For example, no one who believes in conservative values could ever give the Dept of Education even more money to carry out their Communist agenda of Goals2000, School-to-Work or No Child Left Behind. 6 million innocent children on ritalin and rising. Another 5 billion from GWB to carry out their evil agenda.

I haven't decided how to vote yet. Probably for Bush, but I need a stronger clothespin on my nose each 4 years. Does he really think that giving money to the NEA will buy him a single liberal vote?

I no longer have the slightest trust in the national Pubbies. They have betrayed that trust. I've not left the party. The party left me.

[cinFLA]

I’ll be voting conservative, which means most likely the Constitution Party. I’m not throwing my vote away; Bush threw it away with everything he and the neo-cons have done for the last four years.

You are not throwing your vote away; you are throwing your support to Kerry, Kennedy, Soros ...

[Consort]

As for me, I’ll be voting conservative, which means most likely the Constitution Party. I’m not throwing my vote away; Bush threw it away with everything he and the neo-cons have done for the last four years.

Solid proof that there are useful idiots on both sides of the aisle.

[deport]

Poor ol' Jeff.... I'm surprised we didn't see the Rebel Flag and David Duke raised to top in this screed......

[OWK]

But use a little common sense...

Ok... hang on a minute.. I'll try.

Nope..

Massive new social programs.
Bigger government.
Expanded federal involvement in education.
Expanded federal involvemnet in the arts.
Outrageously huge pork bills.

Don't make a lick of sense.. common or otherwise.

[MJY1288]

They most likely voted for PJB in 2000, so they're used to it,

[cinFLA]

I hate all the Bush-haters! They only post their rants, never a balance post. Never give Bush credit for trying to keep the republicans in power, recover from the Clinton recession, fighting two wars to save the Bush-hater's a$$e$. Y'all might just as well go over to DU where you would be more welcome.
