40 Pieces of Silver
Nov 8, 2006 | Self

Posted on 11/08/2006 10:53:50 PM PST by Natural Law

The GOP leadership sold its soul and sold out its core constituency for the figurative 40 pieces of silver. Whats more, their apologists on this forum expect that all Conservatives should have followed lock-step behind them. Conservatism is an ideology, not a party. If the GOP wants the money, votes, and support of conservatives it must be conservative. We are not here to represent the party, the party is here to represent us. As Reagan once said of the Democratic Party; "it left me, I didn't leave it". Let's see if it can find its way home.

Since FR's count began, I have NOT posted a single thread; not a one. I think that I'm owed at least ONE vanity posted to News...don't you? LOL

"The Send A Message "Conservatives" sure be trying to spin their putting the Dummies in power!"

Don't put the cart before the ox. It appears as if "a lot of Conservatives weren't buyin' what Republicans were sellin'.."

Deal with it.

Yes, they are. And I, for one, am more than just sick and damned tired of them and their incessant whinging.

CWO, do you think this joker might change his mind when Speaker Nancy, and Co., "reapportion" his pay, OR when some donk judge throws him out of his house in the middle of the night, so the city can build a shopping mall? Or do you think he'll care when the Dims flush 50 times more babies down the toilet? Or he has to use that Spanish language ballot next time around? Or when our soldiers come home, the dejected, desperately beaten souls they were after Vietnam?

Cuz' I can't wait to see em' try to play the middle while the 6% or so of the Soros party that brings in most of their cash is screaming for systematic changes, and promising to dump those who don't deliver any.

The scumbag left lost a lot of currency (and credibility) when their boy Lamont got squashed like a bug by Lieberman.

Power? But he can't do anything in a vacuum. In order to exercise that power he will have to interact with the opinions of 50 other Senators. Those 50 will also have something to say about what happens. This will demand compromise on his part.

No, better to be in the minority. There you can keep your principles pristine, never have to compromise then, never have to defer their immediate implementation, because they won't be implemented. Because no one listens to you, you're in the minority. You're a loser.

"....the understanding that they will be paying the same increased taxes we are."

As if the bloated budget has no effect on future taxation. What a myopic view we have, hugh?

LOL...... I was thinking yesterday afternoon of starting a vanity thread on the effect/ability/value of our various talkshow hosts. After all, we are trying to influence people to see the value of our causes. I think I'll wait.

;-)

But I think it is an important subject. Mark Steyn took over for Rush for one day a couple of months ago. He was brilliant (what else is new), he was exquisitely funny, and he was so very, very pleasant. I think a guy like him would do wonders for our causes if he were on the radio three hours a day.

I've only posted 11 (no vanities), about one every 9 months or so. Of course the real stalwarts like MadIvan and JohnHuang2 provide real service to FR.

"Far from being a conservative, you are much closer to a democrat.

Its interesting how you people make your presumptions.

1) I've paid my dues and have earned the right to question my party. I am a Vietnam Vet (11B30P) and have a Purple Heart.

2) I have been a registered Republican and have voted Republican in every election since 1972.

3) I am not willing to be sold into socialism just because it is by my own party and at a slower rate than the Democrats would do it.

4) If you think that these election losses will not initiate change in the party or that significant change would have occurred without them then you are dead wrong. The trend over the last 6 years should have been enough to convince you it ain't gonna fix itself.

5) It has been alluded to that I am a Michael Weiner fan - WRONG!. Savage is a fictitious character played by the counterfeit conservative Weiner.

Not to mention the courts!!! Wonder how soon Ginsberg & Stevens will wait to announce their retirement, cuz no one to the right of Kennedy will be their replacements.

If there's another Supreme Court vacancy, Bush will definitely send up some minority or another (woman, black, Latino) since he already got two white guys confirmed. Let the scumbag rats beat up on a few minority nominees for awhile and see what happens. Mostly we'll see if the Republicans have the guts to look the scumbag rats right in the eye and shout "rascist!" over and over again for all the world to hear.

The next Supreme Court confirmation hearings could be a beautiful thing.
