A friend of mine recently was surprised when I told him that I am not voting Republican this fall. "You are one of the most conservative people I know," he said.
"Exactly," I said, "and that is precisely why I am not voting Republican." For me, illegal immigration has been the final straw. And the GOP's recent decision to pull funding from Randy Graf's campaign shows the writing on the wall: CONSERVATIVES, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN THE GOP. Of course, the GOP will take conservatives' votes and money, but if a real conservative runs for office, he almost certainly will be shunned.
The GOP historically has been quite liberal. And now, those at the helm are steering it towards its liberal roots. While President Bush and Senator McCain are seeing who can run farther to the left of Ted Kennedy on the issue of immigration, our country is under invasion. Already 20 million illegals have invaded our country, and our president (other than lip service) has done nothing about it. In fact, he exudes a long track record of encouraging the illegal invasion of our country.
In the 1950s, when our country was under invasion, President Eisenhower (via "Operation Wetback") responded with troops, and deported over 1 million illegals in less than a year. Yet President Bush says he is unable. Rather, he is unwilling. If Bush had engaged in this pandering to illegals in the 1950s, he would have been impeached and tried for treason.
In fact, the treason lobby seems to have overtaken the GOP. By 1950s standards, President Bush, Vice-President Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, and Senators McCain, Specter, Brownback, DeWine, and Graham are all guilty of treason. Behind the scenes, they have supported the unconstitutional NAFTA Superhighway, and at every turn have undermined American sovereignty. They have betrayed the Constitution and hard-working Americans so that they can make a fast buck from big business and attempt (unsuccessfully) to court illegal aliens for future political support.
And the GOP rewards such treason. Although Senator DeWine has been ranked by Human Events as one of the ten worst border-security politicians in the country, the GOP still funds him. And in the process, they ceased to fund Randy Graf, a true patriot who actually wants to defend America from this invasion. They take money from the conservative and give it to the liberal. This is the modus operandi of the GOP.
If I am ever able to vote for a true conservative in the GOP (e.g. John Duncan, Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, or Pat Buchanan) then I shall. Otherwise, I am voting Constitution Party (the real conservative party) or not voting at all.
Heeeey, I recall that one!
Ok...we can always pile onto you...
You don't get it. I give up. The lucky man whom you have judged to be a "good conservative Republican senator" may appreciate your support, but I'll tell you, sir or ma'am, I wouldn't want you hanging around a Republican headquarters, or even volunteering in a campaign. Your attitude and very ignorant analysis of the political situation would be nothing but trouble.
Nice childish "yo' momma" line, n00b.
You're obviously a n00b...take some time to read the Zot threads...before you become a Zot target yourself.
In the meantime, go to the closest store and buy yourself a sense of humor...
That's odd. I looked all over my ballot and couldn't find "troops" or "terrorists" listed. A vote for Bush is most definitely NOT a vote for our troops. Bush has the Secret Service, while many of our troops had to phone back home to get better equipment.
I voted to put two more conservative votes on the Supreme Court. You threw yours away.
Hmmm, I wonder how conservative Harriet Miers was gonna be. Because of objections from people LIKE ME, Bush finally withdrew her name from consideration. So you gotta give me at least an assist in getting Alito onto the court. As for your contention that both Roberts and Alito will be conservatives on the court, I'd like to wait at least 5 or 10 years before deciding that.
The Constitution Party can take its isolationist policies and its whiners and moaners and split the GOP vote - but I don't ever want to hear you or your kind on this site again complaining about ANYTHING ever again.
New party slogan: Freedom of speech for RINOs only. Whatever...
No victim card here. If you want to see a victim card played, look at the clips of the impeached one's interview on FOX News Sunday.
I'm just stating reality. If enough Americans believe a candidate can't win, that candidate won't win. It's as simple as that. No whining here.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
Please move to Florida, if you don't already live there. I hear they have quite a LARGE Buchanan voting bloc there, although it is said their INTENT was to vote for algoron in 2000 anyway. Go figure.
Oh, yeah -- REAL tigers look like this:
Son, be careful what you wish for...
*backing away like they did in Time Bandits*
Insanity has been defined as taking the same actions and expecting different results.................
Thank you, on behalf of every other FReeper, for your oh-so-authoritative post regarding what is funny or acceptable on FR and what isn't. How foolish of me, I didn't know, obviously, and I am oh-so-thankful that you joined just so you could lecture me on what is proper and what isn't.
By the way, the last word on that topic belongs to the Mods and ultimately JimRob...seeing how you just recently joined, I don't believe you're either, and you obviously have no idea how long I have been doing my Zot replies...do you even know what a Zot is? But I digress...I have NEVER been told by either Jim Rob or the Mods to stop those posts, so I guess they find them to be ok.
Spend some time learning how things work in FR, then maybe you can lecture others, ok? Now, go away.
Gotta watch out, y'all...there's a n00b lecturing us on how proper it is to continue to Zot a troll after the Mods have killed it. Maybe that n00b can teach us something...maybe the Mods can teach the n00b.
Why bother? I knew you would still lecture me on what is proper and what isn't.
Like I said, go away. You're bothering those who have been here longer. Get a few more months as a FReeper and maybe then someone will listen to you.
