I am giving a lot of thought to removing the elephant GOP bumper sticker I've had on my Jeep since 2003.

I feel like right now, the GOP is run by traitorous scum intent on selling our our Republic.

I have the sticker on still because I support the small govt IDEAL of the GOP - I just no longer feel like the GOP is focused on that direction.

Thoughts?

Just park your car anywhere in ‘The People’s Republic of Madistan.’ The leftist hippies will scratch it off for you while they ‘key’ the paint job on the rest of your car. They did that to mine for FREE in 2004. :)

Don’t be a quitter. Grow up. Quit whining. Stand and fight.

I have a Nixon campaign button. I’m going to take it to ‘Antiques Roadshow’ in a few more years. ;)

Let see, the ONLY thing standing between you and your worst nightmares on Immigration is the political spines of 41 GOP Senators, so of course the solution is to spend all our time screaming hate at the GOP?

Perhaps all the 100%ers might remember the GOP House Leadership they fired last Nov for not being dogmatically pure enough had this Immigration thing DEAD?

Perhaps all the screamers MIGHT want to keep in mind that 90% of the votes in Congress for this stupid bill will be DEMOCRAT votes.

I have a Nixon/Lodge pin from the 1960 campaign! I wore it alot in 2004 - :)

“Let see, the ONLY thing standing between you and your worst nightmares on Immigration is the political spines of 41 GOP Senators, so of course the solution is to spend all our time screaming hate at the GOP?”

The RNC is behind it.

The Senate and House leadership appear to be behind it.

The President is behind it.

It’s backed by prominent Republicans - and it’s pathetic that the prominent ones aren’t guys like Coburn - they are guys like McCain.

” Perhaps all the 100%ers might remember the GOP House Leadership they fired last Nov for not being dogmatically pure enough had this Immigration thing DEAD?”

That’s not quite how it happened. DeLay had to be browbeaten into it by the base. Go look up some of the old threads! I was a lurker back then but I remember the news.

“Perhaps all the screamers MIGHT want to keep in mind that 90% of the votes in Congress for this stupid bill will be DEMOCRAT votes.”

Want to bet on that one? 90%?

Does he look like he is suffering from high gas prices?No, he and Cheney are grinning like this all the way to the bank.We need a new political party.We need the dems and republicans to go away.

[arderkrag]

The Constitution party that doesn’t really care about the Constitution?

The Losertarians?

Scuse me...yeh, hi...I'm the 'Krag, one of the resident Libertarians here(there are quite a few of us). A little fairness would be nice here - we're a rapidly growing party. Maybe you ought to look into our ideas here before you dismiss us so quickly. I left the Republican party in '03 for the Libertarian party and never have regretted my decision. Even better, why not take The Political Compass (http://www.politicalcompass.org/) for an in-depth look at where on the political spectrum you truly fit. There are 3 right-wing parties in America right now, surely you can feel comfortable with one (although if you choose to stay with the GOP, my prayers to you). In all honesty, though, the GOP and the Dems are losing substantial ground. And to all those who would think that a third party will never win or grow large enough to be a threat, I would say this:

There are many Federalists and Whigs who would agree with you.

[Osage Orange]

That's not the VP with President Bush.

Secondly....are you really "suffering"?

[lowbridge]

Park your Jeep in a liberal Democrat neighborhood, town or city. Some open minded liberal will remove the bumper sticker for you, along with the bumper.

Then contact your insurance company....

[cajunangel]

I never said that was Cheney.I never said I was suffering.The gas prices are ridiculous and uncalled for.

I am tired of both political parties and their load of crap.

[Leatherneck_MT]

I’d wait until after the primaries. Vote there first for your candidate of choice. Make the move out of the party (if you must) before the Genelec.

[Osage Orange]

The gas prices are ridiculous and uncalled for.

Really? Ridiculous and uncalled for?

Why do you think that?

George Bush is TRYING to destroy the Republican party.

He is TRYING to destroy America.

And he's thrilled about it.

You keep saying this, but never back it up. Do you have any sort of backup for this claim that it was people on the far right who abandoned the party?

[fkabuckeyesrule]

The only bumper sticker I’ve seen that I might consider putting on my car is the one that says “Mean People Suck.” LOL!

>George Bush is TRYING to destroy the Republican party. He is TRYING to destroy America. And he's thrilled about it.

So. LaRouche got you.
Okay. We'll schedule you
for deprogramming...

I already live in one - my congressman is Ed “Red” Pastor. :(

[gotribe]

You know, bush looks a lot like sean penn.

[MeekOneGOP]

heheheheheeee!

Nixon was the FIRST one I voted for in my first election (1972). I wouldn’t change my vote to this day!

McGovern was a total SLOB / LOSER !!!!!

[MeekOneGOP]

I’m ready for the Cheney 2007 bumper sticker now.

Did Congress change the election year from 2008 ???

:)

Me too! I'd vote fer Cheney in a heartbeat !!!!
