One word: NYET!
My thoughts include visions of the weirdos over at DU rubbing their hands together in glee.
Hell, I'm a Democrat who just joined the GOP last week.
I would stick with the Republicans.
Start a new party... it's been proven time and time again that there is a huge underrepresented segment of the electorate just waiting to vote against the establishment if given a chance.
Where would you go? Or maybe just stick your head in the sand and hope for the best.
If it were up to me, the smell of ozone would be filling the air right about now.
But then, I don't have that power. We can always hope, though. ^^
Where do you suggest we go?
No. It's time to CHANGE the GOP.
If every prolifer in the nation got involved, voted in primaries and volunteered for campaigns, we could rid our party of the fifth column that has invaded it.
It takes hard work. I've already sacrificied a previous career and ten good years of my life for this.
What are you doing to put the GOP where you want it?
But time to not give them any benefit of the doubt.
Time to understand they don't make all that much a difference.
When the lefties start Bush impeachment proceedings to get even for Clinton, less people will care and come to his support.
Don't complain anymore.
We get what we deserve.
Vote for Perot.
Leave and go where? What other political party did more for Terri? Not to mention, how much will the pro-life movement gain if politicians like Hillary get elected because lots of people don't vote GOP?
What are our options?
Single issue parties do not work in this country.
What you envision is a prime example of that.
Leave. Go join Michael and the other supporters of the culture of death who seek to destroy the GOP by attacking the one party, the one President and the one Governor that actually took action on Terri's behalf. There is no room for ungrateful backstabbers in the republican or conservative movement.
You have a promlem with a binary solution set. Either you vote for the republicans or the democrats.
I look at matters from a constitutional baseline, not an emotional one. Take the matter in its entirety and vote for which candidate is closer to constitutional government.
"What are your thoughts?
"
Uh, I don't think you want to hear my thoughts, and if I posted them, they'd be pulled. Perhaps this thread will be pulled, too.
I've posted this before and will again.
I share your sentiments about the tragedy in Florida and I too feel like more could have been done, but I think you are sounding like this right wing talk show host, Michael SAvage. Before you blame republicans and our president I suggest you read Ann Coulter's article today. (please see: http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/coulter1.asp )
Anyway, regarding Michael Savage, I heard him for the first time about two weeks ago. He was singing the praises of George Bush for flying to DC to sign the bill asking for a federal court review of judge Greer's decision, (a Clinton appointee?)
The last few nights he has changed his tune and has been lambasting the Bush Boys for "doing nothing." I think these are dangerous statements that will undermine any positive that may come out of this terrible tragedy--namely a hard boiled look at our court system.
We do not live in a monarchy, Mr. SAvage. We have a govt with three branches. The least powerful used to be the judicial. We now realize that it is the most powerful maybe next to talk show host bullies like you.
The parents were willing to bear the burden of her care plain and simple. They filed to obtain guardianship when they believed the husband had a conflict of interest and was not speaking for what was in the best interest of their daughter.
The husband's custody or right to speak for his wife should have ended at the very least, when he had the first child with his common law wife and when there was a clear conflict of interest.
Greer was convinced that TErri had clearly expressed her desire not to be on life support of any kind.
But this post is more about this guy SAvage and his new bandwagon which is to undermine our President. I find him offensive and boorish. People call in and he cuts them off.
I mean hangs up on them. He's as bad as we say the far left Michael Moore's are.
I'm conservative republican and believe with most of what SAvage was saying a couple weeks ago, but I am extremely upset with the what he is saying about our president now.
Allot of people from both sides of the aisle agreed that what happened in Florida was wrong.
Bush is not our King, and cannot act like one. If this case makes us look long and hard at the abusive power of our court system and results in fixing it, then Terri did not die in vain but for all of us.
