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.
Blah blah blah
Posted at least once already and the poster is a retread who has just been banned again. Recall nanak? Old geezer from Alaska, IIRC.

Here. Here.
No, you are not exactly "IB4tz"
I noticed the account has already been banned.
This is silly. Grow up.
Sooooo.....Which guy is Alec Guinness in your mind?
Or . . . Hear. Hear. It works both ways, guess. :-).
I am not happy with some of my choices in MN. But the left here is so corrupt I will do what it takes to defeat them.
the world works a bit different than you would like.
"If Bush had engaged in this pandering to illegals in the 1950s, he would have been impeached and tried for treason."
This inflammatory rhetoric has got to stop. It is both ridiculous and untrue.
Bush does need to take illegal immigration more seriously. However, one who will not vote for an imperfect party will never vote. And let's not forget that the Constitution Party has its own problems - the most important of which is that they will never win.
Just as useless as a *Crinton with classified material...
Yawn. Every two years, the same thing.
But usually not with such newly-minted sign-on dates.
Good grief - what an emotionally immature writer.
Because anyone who doesn't toe the [liberal] Republican Party line deserves to be zotted on a conservative news forum...
Good job! I believe he posted this piece last night also.
Wha...? This is so clumsy it smells of a plant.
Vote for Terrible Tom for What? Certainly not for any position that requires judgement.
