But NOOOOOOO!!! Those who call themselves "conservatives" had to vote for the biggest spending President in American history, who, in many ways, is just as much of a big government guy as Kerry ever thought he was...& a fellow Skull & Bones member to boot! You reap what you sow.
I considered voting for Peroutka, but there was NO possibility of him winning the election. Even if a miracle did happen and he did win, he would have had zero support in Congress. He couldn't have got ANYTHING passed that he promised to do. I'm NOT saying this to disrespect him, it's just the way politics work. That only left Bush. Kerry was out of the question. President Bush has done some good things for America that Kerry would NEVER have done, but he is NOT a conservative.
Instead of everyone leaving the Republican Party, we need to take it away from the RINO'S. It's OUR party; a conservative party. The RINO'S need to start their own party. Even if EVERYONE on FR would have voted for Peroutka, he still would have lost by millions of votes. That's life, and we've been dealt a crappy hand. We have to stick together and work hard to rebuild the Republican Party. The only other thing we can do is raise so much Hell with the RINO'S that they are afraid of us.
If you had only known the # of times I've heard other folks say just what you said: "I like Peroutka, but I can't vote for him, 'cuz it's a wasted vote"...or "he can't win, so I gotta vote for President Bush". AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! Speak about a self-fulfilling prophecy!
The reason he couldn't win the election was 'cuz nobody would stand up for principle & vote for him. Quit using excuses, &, like the commercial once said, JUST DO IT. (I mean no disrespect in saying that, ok?).
Whenever you come across a liberal, act as if you are voting for Nader or whoever else would take away votes from the Dims (they don't hafta know), learn the socialist talking points, & get THEM to to move even further Left.
That is the only chance we have!
