I Am a Conservative, not a Republican
Coach is Right ^ | 5/20/15 | John C. Velisek USN (Ret.)

Posted on 05/20/2015 10:13:51 AM PDT by Oldpuppymax

Has anyone figured out what the 2014 election results really meant? I was under the impression that Americans had grown ever more disheartened with what our nation has become. Turnout at the polls made it seem that voters wanted to rebuild the nation given us by the Founders. Historic gains were made by Republican candidates, promises were made and the excessive actions of the Democrat Party would be blunted as the citizenry exclaimed “No More!”

I have been a proud card carrying Republican since I first voted. Based on what I learned in school, their platform made sense. I have traveled to many parts of this world while in the military and can honestly say that I have found nothing, NOTHING, better than what we have here. In fact, no one can begin to equal 250 years of American accomplishment. We were promised that when Republicans took both Houses of Congress, things would change; that we might be able to get some things done and see sunlight at the end of a long dark period of subjugation to a Marxist president and power hungry congressional leadership.

Obama, our narcissist in chief proclaimed for all to hear that he would take action on illegal immigration, without Congress. In my opinion, his would be a totally unconstitutional action, creating chaos in this country and slamming the Black middle class the hardest. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the next majority leader, and John Boehner both made waves, vowing to fight Obama to the end on this subject. McConnell promised voters:

“When the newly elected representatives take their seats, they will act.”

Naturally, Republicans were divided. Congress pursued the “CRomnibus” keeping the Department of Homeland Security funded until Feb 29 and the rest of government rest fully funded. But not all Republicans agreed, some wanting to...

2014 Elections demonstrated that the GOP were less
honest than Obama or the DNC or ISIS.

The GOP are the most deceitful, lying, backstabbing
bastards ever, typified by McCain and his initiation of the
IRS to attack the TEA Party.

The GOP controls the money and power. Since Obama, conservatives have done nothing to change that.

You must be one of those battered GOP voters...elect the GOP, get slapped around, and then vote for the GOP again!!! Lol. Here’s a clue: the GOP is dead. Might as well accept it. Get over the battered voter syndrome.

I don't remember seeing anything about that, but it is certainly believable.

Do you have any links to that fact? Thanks

The rest of your short but succinct statement is very true for sure, thanks.

The EXEMPT undocumented Democrats:
"We love our Moslem Caliph, lord-protector
and will continue to attack American conservatives and Tea Party
using the IRS, while protecting our Moslem lord-protector
on his Benghazi-, open border-, Arab Spring-, and "rebel"-projects."

I wholeheartedly agree with you about this. As far as I’m concerned, the statist GOP is as big or bigger an enemy as Democrats to me.

And I've got the same amount of respect for a GOPer that I do for the moose limbs in the white hut. Z.E.R.O.

Zotted because I am not a cry baby?

Zotted because I think having both houses out of Democrat control is a step forward.

And because I don’t sit around crying, but rather look to have Ted Cruz become President in 2016.

And to continue to move the House and Senate more Conservative, getting rid of Boner and McConnell and Prince Rebus so we have a House Senate and RNC that are conservative with a Conservative President.

Because I believe we can and will do that under President Cruz, rather than write cry-baby essays?

Therefore I should be zotted?

I think it’s the other way around.

Cry-baby defeatists just help the Democrats.

His article is spot on. You calling an admiral a crybaby? Sickening. Yeah you should go but probably won’t. We all all the worse for it too.
