When is "Enough", Enough?
Vanity ^ | 2/06/07 | Paloma_55

Posted on 02/06/2007 8:26:17 PM PST by Paloma_55

I am wondering, when do we conservatives finally declare war on the mamby-pamby liberals who use our party as a platform against the Democrats, with no real difference in philosophy but rather a means for running a two card monty against us?

When do we notify the Republican party that if they elect Rudy, McCain, or any other RINO, we will sit out the election and not vote?

I think we should threaten to do this, and if our hand is called, lay it on the table. I am so sick of this.

We have GW Bush, a "compassionate conservative" that has not vetoed any spending. We have the Republican Congress that got their asses whipped after letting the Democrats push them around for 12 years. They never figured out that they were the majority, except for fundraising activities.

So what if some Democrat wins an election? They have won before, they will win again.

My proposal is this. Do not contribute to the Republican Party and tell them that you are doing so because they are too freakin liberal.

Donate to CONSERVATIVES.

Do not campaign or assist RINOS. Let them hang out to dry.

"If a Dem was president, then Osama would be happy, he would blow a hole in LA the size of Burbank, and the American people would see what the Dems have to offer."

So Osama blowing a hole in LA and killing a million Americans would be a good thing? Ok, I can see where you are coming from, its the far right lunatic fringe. No use in trying to talk sense into you. Good night.

I can't stand Rudy or McCain but I will never vote for a democrat, nor will I sit on my hands at election time thereby letting a democrat win. I will vote in the general election for the person with the "R" behind his/her name.

Primary time is the time to root out the rinos.

Do you have any evidence to support the statement that "conservatives sending a message" were the reason for the GOP losses in 2006?

Spare me the Judges rant! Kelo vs New London is PROOF that the Republic is dead.

RINOS refusing to listen is why we have this mess now. Apparently it's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.

I'd look terrible in a burqa.

I suppose that would solve my hair problem.

Well said. Hopefully the ones who sit home and hope for liberal democrats in control instead on non-perfect republicans will read, and re-read, it.

Rudy is everything the Democrats want.....pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage. A conservative, he is not.

I just wish the the people here who support those stances wake up and realize we need to get back to the CORE values and fiscal responsibility that signifies the true Republkican party. Not this half baked, "he can beat Hillary" crowd.

When? Election day. Unless you have a nuclear device or two in your spare change purse.

We kicked a RINO to the curb in my district. We replaced him with a real conservative who was endorsed by the minuteman PAC to boot.

In your haste to refute my point, you forgot to include any evidence in your post.

Personally I suspect that those who demanded that we blindly vote for whatever "republican" was on the ballot. didn't follow their own advice when they didn't have a "moderate" enough choice. That probably cost more seats than anything.

One thing is for sure. Either a Republican or a democrat will e elected in 2008.

If a democrat is elected all the things you listed are most likely under a democrat adm.

I want Homeland Security otherwise nothing else will matter. Any dem elected will not provide Homeland security.

Personally, I suspect (and this is based on a lot of conversations with people I know) that the biggest factor in the GOP losses was the loss of support among politically disinterested people in military families and/or military towns who picked up the newspaper one morning and read one more story about an Iraq war casualty from the neighborhood, drove down the street past a bunch of illegal aliens loitering outside the local convenience store, and asked themselves . . . "What's the f#cking point of all this?!?"
