Why I am not voting Republican this fall [because I'm a retread zotted troll]

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.

You bore me, n00b troll-lover.

Hang in there P, yer doin' good!

IF this is doing good, I'd love to see him doing badly.....

Hey, don't interfere with The Movement (see Post 297).

Promethius here has brought us A Movement.

"I believe things could get much, much worse ... and that it matters, a lot, how quickly they get much worse."

Yes, the could. Surrendering to the liberals in the party helps how? We have a majority in both houses and the Presidency! For that, we have huge non-defense spending bills, CFR, NCLB, and the lack of respect for the rule of law. We can't continue supporting people who agree with Kennedy. That's the road to hell.

"You don't seem to believe in buying time."

I can understand that viewpoint. I shared it in 2004. Now, I'm not confident that the party leadership DOESN'T want us (conservatives) gone. As I've said previously, I have conservative Republicans to vote for and they'll get my support both voting and money. What won't at this point are the national organizations I've donated to in the past - RNC and NRCC. Silence implies consent, and I do not consent to this liberalization of the national party. The Party of Reagan is devolving back to the loser party of Rockefeller.

A Rudy, however, will not get my vote in '08. If I were to shut up about that until after the '08 election... well, I'd be stuck with him and my vote - my only power over the elected - *would* be WASTED.

Movement conservatism will die if we keep voting in people are are liberals and expect them to follow a platform they don't agree with, never agreed with, and just plain don't like. Now, my state does its duty concerning the Senate and House - mostly good conservatives. California, on the other hand. ;)

Clean up crew?

"Promethius here has brought us A Movement."

The Conservative Movement, of course. The one Goldwater and Buckley started. I'm not surprised you didn't know about it.

[Treader]

P's taken a good gnawin' and keeps on with it...

[freedumb2003]

Um, I know of no one who calls it "The Movement."

That certainly makes my pretty suspicious -- it looks like you are repeating stuff to get your bona fides.

I think you are either a retread or a deep cover DUer.

God knows your attitude matches well with DU.

[Jet Jaguar]

I will repeat myself.

The original non-troll tread exists.

"If you are commenting on the merits of the article, comment there."

I WAS debating the issue with another poster in this thread.

You can continue to post that to him, but I'm afraid you can't make him understand what you are saying....

I'm sure YOU do, not being in it and all.

[Jet Jaguar]

Go to the real article. Debate it there. You look like a fool defending a poster who had been banned and resigned up under a new moniker.

[Jet Jaguar]

Or not!

[Treader]

Dang, P, you almost made the big time. Oh well, you can always blame the VRWC...

[darkwing104]

Turn iit up a notch! Can we nominate this for the next Undead Thread?

[zbigreddogz]

What I can't figure out is, that most people don't like Buchannan around here, yet they seem to love Tancredo.

Yet, Bay Buchannan runs his PAC.

Doesn't that tell you something?

[Jet Jaguar]

I would throw a second to that.
