I’m a Conservative only. I give my money to Conservative candidates only and hang up the phone on all Republican calls for help.
When Conservatives decide to go third party...I’ll be right there with them.
I am a neither also,but will not vote independant and cause what Perot caused,the country cant aford that
Huh? Whu?
If you didn't have Giuliani you wouldn't have much else (in terms of folks still young enough to stand up and walk unattended).
We probably ought to pull their right to so many delegates to the Presidential nominating convention though.
Dole-Kemp did it for me.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Bush / Quayle did it for me .
More and more conservatives are waking up to the fact the republicrat party is all for themselves and against conservatives.
Here in NY, 4 Republicans were elected because of their anti-gay marriage stance. According to Maggie Gallagher, with the National Organization for Marriage:
Grisanti, who beat Antoine Thompson (a black Democrat who voted for gay marriage) is in a district trending Democratic — and the incumbent lost in part because he voted for gay marriage. I think he’s going to be in a serious trouble.
Grisanti won the district because of his pro traditional marriage stance. He was on the Conservative ticket! Grisanti's vote was the one that legalized gay marriage in NYS.
Sorry ... I no longer trust anything these Republican or Conservative candidates have to say.
>> Yup, the Republican Party has betrayed us.
More accurately, a segment of the old GOP continues to betray us. The GOP as a whole is failing to discipline and eradicate the backstabbers.
I’m increasingly coming to believe that the Presidency is not that important ... at least not as much as many of us have always believed it to be.
Congress and it’s make up is more important. Yes, the President can veto everything but, really, is that realistic over 4 years? Congress holds the purse strings, confirms appointees and must vote to go to war (or did until recently).
The Elite Rulers laugh at us as they play Democrat-Republican and tell each other, “Look at those Rubes lap it up, like rooters for two football teams.”
I have said the same thing.
Reminds me of a comment Glenn Beck once made on FOX. “If you want a socialist, vote Democrat. If you want a Democrat, vote Republican.”
You got that in 2000-2006. You happy with the results?
Let this be a lesson to all of us -— Voting RINO (non-conservative) just to win is worse than losing.
I still consider myself “Republican” and vote straight Republican every time, but I think our little party is ineffective, embarrassing, and as useless as a one-legged clothespin. A loyal Democrat will vote straight Democrat but never disparage his party.
I don’t disagree with you, and vote for true conservatives in the primaries, and occasionally vote for a 3rd party, when both the Republican and Dem candidate are equally liberal, particularly on the social issues, and make it to the General Election.
How about Romney’s latest letters beginning with “Dear Friend”? He must not be aware of the fact that I would never be friends with any politician except for our current state Representative whose company also keeps my air conditioner running and at a price I can afford. Did not hesitate to send back response that the last politician that used that greeting was McCain whom I voted for only because Sarah was his running mate. Fortunately Romney uses postage pre-paid envelopes.
I believe in what the Republican Party as it was founded.
I DO NOT believe in what the Republican Party is today.
I take refuge in the Republican Party as there are a few remaining true blue FREEDOM / LIBERTY oriented Republicans.
That is all I have to cling to.
Oh yes, There is the TEA PARTY. May they bring us salvation.
