I knew a country once. It was called "America"

[TexasPatriot8]

This is directed at those so called "conservative" retards who did not vote for their Republican Senators and Representatives in the few close states, or who voted Libertarian or Democrat.

I knew a country once. It was called "America". "Libertarians" and Republicans who didn’t vote; YOU ARE TRAITORS to that country and your so called conservative values. It’s that simple. And you just handed America to the Modern American Socialist party. Good job. Well done. GO TO H**L!!! I am so disgusted and ashamed of America right now I can’t even hardly type. I can’t sleep either. I can not make myself even process the fact that in a time of war, the most serious and most difficult war in America’s HISTORY, the people of America are so weak and gutless that they can’t support the one single party with the ability to do what needs to be done to win and protect the country.

With a 15 or so seat House Majority and a basically two seat Senate Majority, the country is well and truly f****d for the next two years. The war, forget it. Might as well run up the yellow flag, pull our guys home, and grab and kiss our butts good bye. The terrorists will be gleeful about this election result, and that speaks for itself. The party of weakness and appeasement and talk without action just won. North Korea and Iran will cheer this election. That speaks for itself also.

The Supreme Court? Kiss it good bye for another 20 or more years. Stevens will not finish out 2007 on the court, maybe not even the next few months. And now, with no control in Congress, no real conservative nominee will get to the Senate floor for a vote. To all you so called Americans who didn’t vote Republican but CLAIM to be conservative, how’s that feel? How’s it feel to know that a couple hundred thousand of you geniuses just guaranteed that the Supreme Court will have more gutless milk toast moderates like Kennedy making decisions instead of people like Scalia and Thomas and Roberts and Alito? Does it feel good? STUPID B******S!!!

Say goodbye to a Congress that will fund a proactive aggressive war against terrorism, fighting far away before it hits home instead of reacting after it hits home. Say goodbye to tax cuts. Say good bye to border enforcement. Say good bye to limits on abortions and embryonic/fetal stem cell research. BILLIONS will now be wasted on bad junk research which will provide no cures, but will help protect abortion and human cloning. Say good bye to a good strong growing economy and healthy job market. The Democrats will have their way with all those things like a convicted sex offender at cheerleader camp.

Oh, and before I forget, The voters in Virginia and Ohio and Missouri and Montana are the STUPIDEST MOST RETARTED SHORT SIGHTED INBRED MORONS on the face of the stinking planet!!!!! This was not about Democrat numbers. This was about a few hundred thousand people who CLAIM to be conservatives, who either voted Libertarian or didn’t vote or voted Democrat. All three groups of those people are NOT conservatives and as far as I’m concerned, those pieces of trash give lip service about their supposed "conservative values" and then when it’s important, they chicken out, or have their little ego trip pitty party because the Republican party isn’t like Burger King; "If I can’t have it my way I just won’t vote for Republicans". I haven’t had a lot my way in the GOP but they’re the only game in town that can win that’s going to even try to do things that I like at least most of the time. How the STUPID STUPID people in those states, ESPECIALLY VIRGINIA, couldn’t see that. I’m just stunned.

You voters who claim to be conservative, and so concerned about America not being a liberal wasteland, but didn’t vote Republican in those close states you blew it!!! You just pimped out America because of your stubborn arrogance and insistence to have it your way or not at all. I would really like to hear from SOMEONE in those states who didn’t support their Republican Senators or Representatives, and tell me PLEASE, do you think you’re going to get what you want, anything you want, from a DEMOCRAT MAJORITY that YOU created in the House and Senate? You’re going to get a retreat on the war, higher taxes, wide open border, NO legislation to secure it, moderate Judges AT BEST, endless federal funding for abortion and failed science embryonic/fetal stem cell research, well fare programs galore, and a stagnant economy and job market. That never happened with a Republican Congress, even with RINOs in it. And you think the GOP spent too much? Wait till you see how much the liberals spend now that they have their sticky fingers back in the honey pot. They’re going to quickly fill up their 12 year hunger to have power back. Good job. You people who didn’t vote Republican but claim to be "Conservative" just sold America out like a pimp with a need for a fix. Feel good? It d**n well better feel good because it’s your fault!

The people of Missouri especially should be ashamed of themselves too. I mean, how stupid are the people of Missouri that didn’t vote for Talent and against Amendment 2??? Five minutes of research would expose the fact that that Amendment is a CLONING AMENDMENT and that stem cell research, INCLUDING EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH IS ALREADY LEGAL IN MISSOURI!!! Just not TAX PAYER FUNDED embryonic stem cell research. It would also expose that McCaskell is a lying manipulative deceitful wicked woman who did ANYTHING to get elected, even use people like Michael Fox, who didn’t mind lying through his teeth, to get what he wants. If a cure for Parkinson’s is found, it will not be from embryonic/fetal stem cell research, no matter HOW MANY billions of dollars are poured into it. That’s a fact. Pure and simple. http://www.angelfire.com/blog/stemcells . "Show Me" State my butt!!! Can’t show someone something when their f*****g eyes are closed!!!

I never dreamed that so many Americans could have their heads up their a***s with so much on the line. Millions of Americans who voted for Bush in 2004, in just two short years, have become totally disconnected from reality. They swallowed the lies about Iraq hook line and sinker. They swallowed the lies about stem cell research. And clearly they swallowed the lies that the Democrat party isn’t as liberal as it really is. Any of you coward gutless "conservatives" in those States who didn’t vote Republican. Every time the Demcorats undo something that took a decade to do, every tax that’s reversed, every conservative bill that’s blocked, every conservative Judicial nominee that never sees the floor of the Senate, and every terrorist attack that happens in America because we’re not fighting aggressively abroad, own it, because it’s YOUR DOING!!! YOU DID THIS!!! YOU killed the modern conservative movement in Congress. YOU DID THAT!!! I hope the guilt of what you have done consumes you and haunts you relentlessly the next two years every time you hear of some liberal measure being taken on by this new Democrat Congress that YOU created by your selfish lack of inaction. I am really embarrassed and ashamed of this country. America just blew it. They handed the keys of the Congress to the Democrat party who has no plan. Just "Ewww this isn’t working, we can do better" but have no plane for how, just "let us do it, Bush sucks". That’s the Democrat plan. Saying the current path isn’t working, ISN’T A PLAN!!! Opposition ISN’T A PLAN!!! God I’m disgusted by this. If Bush doesn’t veto every single thing that the liberal Democrat leadership sends out of Congress, we’re all screwed. Reid and Peloosie and the radical liberal leadership now have the keys to the kingdom. And the last time the Democrats took Congress, it was over 40 years before they lost it. I hope all you self righteous "my way or the highway" conservatives are prepared to be a generational minority party again, because there is no guarantee that the GOP will be ABLE to take it back in ’08. Especially with the conservative front runner for President, Allen, being knocked off because of stupid voters in Virginia. Allen says "Macaca", not even meaning it racially, and he’s bad. Webb calls black people "n*****s" and monkey faces in a book HE WROTE, but that’s okay. Make him Senator. It’s hard to believe that in just 50 years, America has so fallen to what it will become in January. And when investigations and impeachment hearings begin. We will ALL know who is REALLY to blame. Conservatives are only real conservatives if they ACT and VOTE like it. RINOs aren’t the ONLY RINOs you know!!! If you didn’t support your Republican Senator or Congressman, you’re a RINO too, or more accurately, a CINO. Conservative in name only. REAL conservatives voted Republican. Anyone else is a half-wit poser who was too impressed by their own importance than what was good for the country. There is nothing that will come from liberal Democrat control of the House and Senate. And this sets them up real well to take the White House in 2008. So ends the conservative revolution to take America back to it’s roots and end the cancer of liberal socialism. I’m really afraid that America might just have died with this election. Every great fall starts with just one misstep. Unless something spectacular happens between now and November 2008, America is dead as a conservative values oriented nation. The best I am hoping for now is that a pathetic RINO like McCain or Giuliani can get elected President. Considering the inept weak willed behavior of voters that’s exposed itself Tuesday, that seems like the best there is to hope for. My God this is sad. Terrorists will celebrate this outcome. That says it all right there, and there’s no denying it. I wish I didn’t love this country so d**n much, then I wouldn’t give a rip.

If you believe they will vote as conservatives, check out bridge investment opportunities in New York City.

In which case, check the conclusion of my previous post. One term and out.

[TexasPatriot8]

If Iraq was being fought like Vietnam, what you said was right. But as the child of a four tour Vietnam vet, and having family and friends and co-workers and internet friends who have served multiple tours in Iraq, it's not true. I've heard, first hand, both experiences, and the only similarity is that they were both wars. Well there is one more similarity. AMericans of the 60s/70s, and Americans of today are spoiled rotton and don't have the backbone to fight and win a war no matter what the cost, like in the 40s and all wars before WWII. That's the ugly little fact that has reared it's head during Iraq. Clearly, most Americans think liberty and freedom is for us, and the poor unwashed dark skinned people of the world aren't worthy. I STRONGLY disagree with that sentiment. If liberals, and these "cut and run" conservatives for that matter, think that freedom and liberty is for ALL, not just a select few, then the support for Iraq would be almost universal. You defeat an enemy by fighting until they are dead or they leave. Now we'll be the ones leaving, and if Iraq can't defend itself, I wonder how long it will take for the numbers of murdered Iraqi's who supported democracy there to number in the 1+ million range, like in Vietnam after we retreated from there tail tucked between our legs. It took over 20 years for our brave military to get over being forced to lose a winnable war. And if the Democrats have their way, the military, whom the liberal's loathe, will be forced to lose this one. And Islamo-fascism will spread like an aggressive cancer. Iraq was the radiation treatement for that cancer but most Americans it seems are just too weak and spoiled to stomach it. Weakness is pathetic and the weaknes I smell as the stench coming off this election makes me want to puke.

[The_Victor]

Your conclusion is false.

The moonbat posterboy, Lamont, lost,... big.

[TexasPatriot8]

Everyone would do well go to read the history of "The Battle Of Tours" in the 8th century. By retreating from Iraq, which is what the Democrats want to do, we are doing the exact opposite of what Charles Martel did to beat the Muslims in France, which is the ONLY thing that preserved non-Muslim Christian Europe and allowed the free western civilization we know today to come about. It disgusts me how many Americans are so pathetic and soft and weak that after ONLY 3 and a half years, they're ready to bend over and grab the ankles and quit. It makes me even sicker because we have an ALL VOLUNTEER MILITARY FORCE that is READY, WILLING, ABLE, and WANTING to stay till they win. And now, after all their sweat, tears, blood, and sacrifice, they might well be defeated in Iraq. By the Congress, NOT the terrorists. And gutless self-important "my way or else" conservatives are to blame for it.

Anyone who questions the kind of conservative I am, put your money where your mouth is and read my past posts over the months. I am as firmly conservative as anyone, lived in Texas 34 years of my life and proud of it. And just because I'm not afraid to speak my mind and lay blame where it needs to be laid, doesn't mean I have to take crap from peopel who are calling me names, likely out of a sense of guilty conscience. You all paid for this Congress you're getting in January. And conservatives like me will NEVER let you forget it. You will NOT have the luxury of buyers remorse. You did this, and you know who you are. Now deal with it and own it. If you can't handle being called to task by fellow conservatives who totally disagree with what you did, then you have a real problem don't you? I did my part, and if everyone who was a real conservative voted the way I did, the Republican party would still have a conservative majority in the House and Senate, and January 2008 could be looked foward to for picking conservative candidates to replace RINOs in the Congress, and picking either Allen or some other good conservative for President. Now, all that is gone. And those who are to blame, know who they are. Conservative values are supposed to trump frustration with a weak leadership. They didn't in this election and that illustrates that many "conservative" voters have a Colossal lack of ability to get their priorities in order. Keeping liberal Democrats from control of Congress, priority #1, replacing RINOs with conservatives IN THE PRIMARIES, #2. Teaching the GOP a lesson by not voting for even good conservatives like Allen and Talent and Santorum, well, that's not even on the list of things any conservative should have done.

Eff you right back, buddy.

No problem, the Democrats will give them any amount of money to keep their seats, and they will go back and campaign as conservatives again.

Now that they control Congress again there will be LOTS of money. But only for those who toe the party line.

[TexasPatriot8]

Thank you both. I agree totally with both of you.

And I too think that even some here, some FReepers, are some of those who caused this to happen. Whenever someone calls me a baby or other childish name calling, in response to a generic comment I make where I single out not a single specific person, it makes me think that it struck a nerve and that those who respond to viciously are suffering guilty conscience. I was in a large room of people who reacted the same as I as the returns came in, and they're good solid hard working conservative people who volunteered many hours and many days, some running for office themselves. I bet those who bust my chops here think that just because they vote, that that's all it takes. Well just voting doesn't cut it. And I will not accept criticism from people who simply vote, and then come post here and think they've done all they could. To h**l with that. There are so many things to do beyond just voting, it's silly. And like you said Blessed; "just maybe they're the Republican vote cut-and-runners you're talking about; they doth protest too much" The only conservatives I've talked to since the election who are more interrested in fussing at me for being angry that the Congress is loss, are a few FReepers here. All the people I know are just as upset as me and even though they're not happy with the weak GOP leadership, NO ONE wanted Democrats winning Congress. Real conservatives with their head in the game recognize that above all, a Democrat Congress is the WORST thing to let happen. You don't give up a touchdown, in the hopes that you can come up the field and maybe get a field goal.

From NRO:

Rep. Mike Pence, who will figure in the House GOP leadership battles to come, released this statement about the election results:

Election day 2006 will be remembered as a turning point in American political history. Twenty-five years after the Reagan Administration came to Washington with a conservative agenda of limited government, the American people chose a different course.

It is the duty of the losing party in a free election to humbly accept defeat and to acknowledge that the people are sovereign in the People's House.

As we examine the results of this election, it is imperative that we listen to the American people and learn the right lessons.

Some will argue that we lost our majority because of scandals at home and challenges abroad. I say, we did not just lose our majority, we lost our way.

While the scandals of the 109th Congress harmed our cause, the greatest scandal in Washington, D.C. is runaway federal spending.

After 1994, we were a majority committed to balanced federal budgets, entitlement reform and advancing the principles of limited government. In recent years, our majority voted to expand the federal government's role in education, entitlements and pursued spending policies that created record deficits and national debt.

This was not in the Contract with America and Republican voters said, "enough is enough." Our opponents will say that the American people rejected our Republican vision. I say the American people didn't quit on the Contract with America, we did. And in so doing, we severed the bonds of trust between our party and millions of our most ardent supporters.

As the 110th Congress convenes next year, Republicans must cordially accept defeat and dedicate ourselves to advancing our cause as the loyal opposition knowing that the only way to retake our natural, governing majority, is to renew our commitment to limited government, national defense, traditional values and reform.

[TexasPatriot8]

You could have posted blank space, and still not said less then you actually did in your post. Being angry at the loss of the Congres is not being a sore loser, nor is putting blame where blame is due. If you have something substantive to say, then be a man and say it. If all you have to say is silly little childish things like "don't be a sore loser" then quit wasting band width. Anyone who doesn't mind losing isn't worth a cup of warm p**s.

[TexasPatriot8]

So you think the country wants what the Democrats are selling? Lies and deceit and liberalism and a party that never met a abortion or gay issue they didn't like? If you think that GOP candidates didn't run as consercvatives, then you didn't look at many races. Democrats are the ones running as something they weren't. Not Republicans.

[ShadowDancer]

And you need to learn how to talk like an adult.

Apparently he would like you to speak in more grown up and eloquent terms as he does:

The voters in Virginia and Ohio and Missouri and Montana are the STUPIDEST MOST RETARTED SHORT SIGHTED INBRED MORONS on the face of the stinking planet!!!!!

[Huck]

You post an infintile tantrum, calling people "retards" (real classy there, fella), inbred morons (wow, that's a persuasive tack), etc etc, and I'm childish? LOL. Take a pill.

[DaiHuy]

A resounding yes, and to those "conservatives" who didn't vote or voted Dem, YOU HAVE THE GOVERNMENT YOU WANT AND DESERVE!

[DaiHuy]

I voted a straight R ticket, with the exception of 10 judges who were running unopposed anyway.

[TexasPatriot8]

Unpunnished??? Politically correct warfare? My God do you know anything of history? About 3,000 combat deaths in Iraq of ours, vs. over 40,000 terrorists!!! And that's the CONSERVATIVE NUMBER!!! that's over 13-1 kill ratio IN THE FAVOR of our military. Go do some research and find a war that was fought ANY TIME in human history, where a nation killed 13 or more of the enemy for every one of their lost, and then ended up losing that war. It has NEVER HAPPENED!!! The nation with that kill ratio on its side has never lost in history. And Iraq is a moderate Muslim civilian population. If Democracy and freedom would work ANYWHERE in the Middle East, it would work in Iraq. And allow me to be blunt please. If you can't handle 3,000 combat deaths in three and a half years, less than 1,000 a year, then with all due respect, you're a lightweight with no understanding of warfare and what it takes to win, or how important the war is.

And you don't just NUKE civilian areas. Ever heard of this thing called RADIATION!!! It drifts with the weather. You don't just NUKE towns. I'm as pro-military as anyone, but that is just plain STUPID!!! There are conventional weapons that do the same damage with no radiation. And if we did "Nuke 'em" like you suggest, how long do you think it would be befor the already socialist filthy U.N. would label the U.S. as a rogue state and only Israel would remain as the sole U.S. ally in the world? This is not WWII where nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved hundreds of thousands of soldiers and Marines lives, and millions of Japanese lives saved because island invations didn't have to take place. Nuking the hot spots in Iraq would not save American lives on the ground. It would inflame the radical Muslims so much more and create so many terrorists, there would bee tens of millions before the fallout settled. My God, please think before you start tossing nuclear material around like it's a grenade!!!

[TexasPatriot8]

You're welcome, I sure would have preferred not saying it though. The next two years will be tough. This was a fight I really didn't want to have to take on the next two years. It's hard enough fighting the terrorists, the illegals, and the courts, without having to fight the Congress as a minority too. My only hope is that after a steady diet of one lib bill after another for the next year, Conservatives will be really angry at that and the "conservatives" who thought the GOP needed to learn a lesson, will learn their own lesson and come back to the GOP with the realization that ANY GOP is better than a Democrat majority. Because of that shortsighted lack of reason and logic, we have to live with that mistake for two years. And I REALLY HATE having to live with OTHER PEOPLE'S mistakes!!! Next time Conservatives want to teach someone a lesson, I hope they move to Mexico or Canada and come back after voting there. I think they've done enough damage to the conservative party that can actually win elections for one century.

[TexasPatriot8]

I agree with both of you, really. But truly, I NEEDED to get hacked off for a few hours. I'm very competitive and aggressive and passionate about the country and if I didn't vent and get it out it would just stick with me. I feel, well, not better, but much less angry and disgusted then before. Just have to do the best we can the next couple years. And maybe after two years of Speaker Pel....Pel.... b***h, the conservatives who fell off the wagon will decide the mud isn't any fun and get back on board and realize that the primaries are what you use to vote down RINOs and get in Conservatives. The actual elections are for defeating liberals. I don't see how some who think they're so smart miss that simple fact. Anyway, I just needed to vent. The biggest loss is the Senate and the fact that we can kiss goodbye any chance of getting a conservative Justice confirmed to replace Stevens in the coming months. It just won't happen with a 49-49-2 split, considering Leiberman and Socialist Sanders will be Democrats for all intents and purposes. I see know way that anyone right of Kennedy will get out of committee with Leahy in charge and get to the floor for a vote. Thanks to the yellow conservatives who wanted to teach the GOP a lesson more than than wanted to keep liberals from jacking around with the country for two more years, we missed the single greatest opportunity to make the Supreme Court a truly constructionist majority body in over 60 years. Stevens will retire soon and the day that's announced, this election and voting mess will come back to roost on ALL the so called "conservatives" who wouldn't support actual conservative Senators like Allen and Talent. Just the two of them, if they'd of won, would have given the Republicans a 51 seat Majority, just enough to get a Scalia type Judge to the floor for a vote. Now, that's gone, and the gutless cut and run Republican crowd is the main reason for that. They can blame the GOP weak leadership all they want to, but the ultimate decision was with the voters, and thereby, the ultimate responsibility.

[dforest]

If you look at this from a purely poltical sense, all you think about is recovery and not losing in 2 years. But, 2 years is a long time and many things could happen as a result of this election that have an impact on people and countries that go beyond politics. Serious thought. The bad result here is that the GOP will still be blamed by the MSM no matter what the outcome. I have to wonder if this result would really be a boost to catapult the GOP into the 2008 White House

[rwfromkansas]

I am concerned this will be a situation in which it will take a decade or more to win back the House.....keep in mind how long the Dems had it before we won it in 1994.

But, I also sense this largely was a protest vote...a throw the bums out....not really a 'we love the Dems and want to toss out the Republicans' vote.

That means, if I am correct...we could have some luck in 2008 provided we run a good campaign.

[TexasPatriot8]

Iraq isn't nation builing, it's Democracy building. 80% of voting age Iraqi's turning up to vote FOUR TIMES In TWO YEARS despite threats of DEATH for their kids is PROOF that they're serious. Ten times more Iraqi's die in terrorist attacks in Iraq than Americans. And that 80% of Iraqi's goes to vote for freedom, with their lives in danger for it, America can hardly ever get 30% to get off their a***S to go vote. Until this time, when large numbers went to vote to retreat and hand Congress to the party of no, high taxes, liberal judges, illegal voters, open borders, well fare and minimum wage, and all the other wonderful socialist goodies we'll get the next two years.

Besides all that, what are your qualifications in looking down your nose to see if the Iraqi's and Afghanis really want freedom and Democracy? Haven't enough of them died the past few years to prove they want it? Be sure to let me know when you think enough of them have been killed to warrant them "deserving" our oh so special gift to them of freedom. Your post was beyond arrogant.
