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.

Can we zot you? Si, se puede!
#51 truth bump!
"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."
Your problem is that you fail to live in the real world. One of two men was going to become commander-in-chief as a result of the 2004 election - Kerry or Bush. Although Bush isn't perfect, he was the best of the two. The troops overwhelmingly support him and the terrorists hate it. A vote for Bush was a vote for our soldiers and marines and against terrorism. You can distract from the issue by saying "That's odd. I looked all over my ballot and couldn't find "troops" or "terrorists" listed" but the truth of the matter is that all your constitution party vote did was take a vote away from Bush. Luckily, there were enough of us who realized Bush was the better of the two and reelected him.
You don't know what kind of justice Harriet Miers would have been. I agree that we need more time to see exactly how Alito and Roberts will turn out - but again, I can guarantee you that they are better than anyone Kerry would have nominated.
But, hey, keep on whining. It suits you.
I value the party because I value my country. Without the party, your "issues," which are also my issues, would get absolutely nowhere. Again, I don't think you know or care how bad things can get with the Rats.
The purpose of a party headquarters is to win elections, to work as a team, not to shoot our own guys. I sure hope you stay away from them.
Wow, whining about a troll getting paved.
We love people who defend trolls.
Precisely...
"Plenty listen to me"
Maybe the sock puppets and the dust bunnies, or was that the voices?
I noticed two of the most rabid troll defenders have been vanished.
I shall not miss them greatly.
Did P-whatever get the Zot?
Not that I know of.
Freepmail.
Great points in the FRmail...
You sound like JohnGalt.
What you're urging is unilateral disarmament, whose sole benefit would be a nice pure feeling that leads nowhere.
If you can figure out a way to abolish the Democratic party, I might start to listen to your idea, which seems to be to abolish the Republican party. Until then, put a sock in it. You are living in a fantasy world. All you can do is confuse people who are stupid enough to go along with your loser mindset.
Alright alright. Let there be no doubt that the Bent One is a whiner. Probably the kindest thing than can honestly be said of him. You're not a whiner. But I do think your outlook on the Constitution Party's electability needs a little adjustment. I have read their platform and, in spite of the fact that I'm not a Christian, I think it's great. But I won't use my vote to make a point. The CP candidate had better look good to win.
