Conservatives Contemplate Electoral Hari-kiri

REAL CONSERVATIVES are stubborn and we proudly stand on principal and conviction

So do I!

I guess that makes me a "Real Conservative" as well.

I would add that "Real Conservatives" do not threaten their party during the election cycle when coming together is the most important thing.

"Real Conservatives" would understand that policy is more solidified during this period because any changes are viewed as indecision and waffling.

Yes. I am a "Real Conservative".

With all due respect to Mike Reagan, sometimes getting a bad liberal is a good thing for the Country.

After all, we never would have had Ronald Reagan, if it were not for Jimmy Carter.

My biggest and ONLY concern, would be the loss of the Supreme Court. With Renquist about 76, O'Connor, frail and in her 70's, and Andrew Stevens in his 80's, Kerry could appoint 3 Supreme Court justices in just 4 years. (Admittedly, only one of those three would be a Roe lost vote -- but it would make the pro-abortion Court 6-3, rather than 5-4.)

And for the support amnesty, gun control, and spending increases we have the terms puppet, foot stool, door mat, and pawn...

Nuff said.......

We need to find a picture of Custer sitting on an old civil war couch to represent Custer Conservatives sitting November out on their couches. I bet there's one out there. If you find it, I'll save it and post it myself every time I see a Custer Conservative. Then they will start asking "What does that mean?" We can followup with a quote from M. Reagan's excerpt. I'll google for "Custer on a couch" later today.

Howlin, thanks for the ping. I like 90% of what President Bush has done. The illegal immigration thing is problematical to me, but it's obvious that it would be a lot worse under a President (ptui!) Kerry!

[OldFriend]

No matter the bashing, no matter the hardships we face in our own home, and yes that includes a job about to be 'outsourced'.....I thank g-d every day for this president and thank g-d every day that I am an American.

A jewish american who actually sent her son off to serve in the United States military.

Am sick of the so called elites in the media thinking they speak for me.

[EllaMinnow]

Is that like true, genuine, actual, authentic, veritable, absolute, indubitable, bona fide, perfect, up-front, provable, demonstrable, unalloyed, sterling, palpable, or unpretended Conservatives?

You left out certifiable...

There's an army here at Free Republic of DU and other dem entities either trying to disrupt and plant doubts or are lurking here for research.

Troll Alerts come in handy. Have you seen a can of Troll Be Gone?

"The spoiled brat part is abundantly obvious.The conservative part is substantially less so."

So now I'm a liberal baby for not blindly following your idea of what conservatism is?

I think the problem lies in the fact that you're one of those "compassionate conservatives", i.e. GWB. There are many of us real conservatives on the right that would and are disagreeing with the "compassionate" approach.

We are tired of amnesty-like deals with Mexico.

We are tired of promises of million of our tax dollars going to Mexico in the form of Social Security.

We are tired of bowing to the Chinese.

We are tired of uninspected trucks coming into America loaded with who knows what.

We are tired of Mexican Army soldiers entering our unprotected borders and shooting at our citizens.

We are tired of Liberism under the name of "compassionate conservativism".

I'm not a spoiled brat. I'm not a troll. I'm not a liberal in any way. I'm just too Conservative for you, thats all.

[floriduh voter]

Custer was politically incorrect to fight with Native-Americans. So much for principals. Further, Sitting Bull died too.

JOHN KERRY IS AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMENT except for terrorists who would never be apprehended in the first place if Kerry was POTUS because he's soft on defense.

[Cultural Jihad]

Some here would prefer to 'save the republic' by electing a lib/dem.

Yes, I liken their mindset to that of Josef Stalin, who claimed that oppressing the Soviet workers was a way to enhance the inherent contradictions and force the Dialectical Materialist Leap to a glorious stateless future. "We enslave and oppress in order to liberate!"

[gatorbait]

Fine, what hasbush and the republicans done about it that is bringing business back??

Are you suggesting the Federal government run businesses? Is that not what has prompted a tremendous amout of the problem we have now? What have you done to influence your congressmen? Want to stop bad laws? Start there.

[kevkrom]

The "true conservative" mentality is self-defeating. The philosophy of bolting for a minor (if not insignificant)party or just staying home to "send a message" sends the message that Republicans cannot count on them, so it needs to move to capture more of the "middle", which then causes more outraged conservatives to splinter off, etc.

To the "true conservatives" out there: if you choose to be undependable, the GOP will not care what you think. Period.

[gatorbait]

I'm just too Conservative for you, thats all

Is that how you spell too narrow minded to think past your own eyelids where you're from? Down here we call that too stupid to live. Go stamp your little frustrated feet over at DU where you belong.

[jimt]

Maybe 3M Conservatives?

NEVER FORGET


...People's "Taking a Stand" in their voting for ROSS PEROT during the 1990's...

We are tired of ...

Not sure if you are describing multiple personalities, but you all ought to get some rest and leave self-governance to those of us who are invigorated.
