How to intimidate Republican senators

Intimidation is the name of the game, and this week we've seen some world-class players at work. A few disc jockeys and an army of high-school kids out for a day of hooky made quick work of several Republican senators. March madness, indeed. If the Republican majorities in both the House and Senate buckle and enact still another amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens among us, as anyone consulting history should expect them to do, credit must go where credit belongs.......

Whatever happened to the Conservative drive to get term limits inacted? Why is the obvious so tough for this nation realize and do something about? The elevation of illegal to legal status of so many people and things, like abortion, RKBA, etc. is assanine, object-stupidity.

[Colonel Batguano]

I don't think all of these republican senators were "intimidated" by the marches, after all, most of those folks in the march are not able to vote legally (and would never vote GOP anyway). It is just an excuse by elites to ignore the general will.

There are two kinds of governments in the world: The first kind, fortunately there aren't as many as there used to be, oppress their people. This is a fool's errand, and such governments fail sooner or later. The SECOND kind is smarter; this kind of government does not oppress its people, it merely IGNORES them, and largely does the bidding of elites and certain interest groups. This is what we have in the USA today--a representative republic that doesn't represent. You see it in illegal immigration policy, outsourcing, health insurance, even the war in Iraq. There is a cartoon "happy bunny" popular with young people who says insensitive things for a laugh. One of his catchphrases is "I know how you feel, I just don't care." This is the attitude of the US government (all 3 branches) and the American elite toward the population at large.

I said: If you don't show up for meetings and just sit here on the computer and complain about everything the RNC does .. what good does that do ..??

You said: Prove it.

My respnse is: ROTFLOL!!! Now you're really getting ridiculous.

[samcgwire]

Very well said.

****THE FIRST THING THEY PLAN TO DO IS IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT - DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT?****

Right now it sounds like a pretty good idea. He is selling out the USA and US Citizens to an army of invading criminal squatters and as such is derelict in his sworn duty.

And the sick part is, he's freaking proud of it!

[hedgetrimmer]

My respnse is: ROTFLOL!!! Now you're really getting ridiculous

Because YOU have made false claims? How does that make me ridiculous?

[pageonetoo]

But .. how about joining the RNC and paying your dues

I don't know how many thousands of dollars, and how many meetings I have attended. I WAS a card carrying Republican, until three years ago. I got sick of Bush speaking out of both sides of his mouth, and the Republican-led congress givng away the store. My grandchildren have been put more at risk due to their policies, and the burden on them will be intolerable.

Instead of fixing socail security, they give more money for drugs. Instead of abolishing useless and wasteful programs and departments (Energy, Education, etal) Bullshiite. They are not conservative Republicans. They are no different than Democrats, plundering for them =selves and their friends.

Most of those (FReepers) protesting the Bush administration were the same ones that believed the Contract with America. Guess what? It's principles have been flushed, by the RINO's and liars (many of which are one and the same!)!

PLEASE - PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE WHAT STAYING HOME WILL REAP = H E L L!
And if we vote for the same critters, it still will be hell. What do you suggest that we do? Seriously.

Try voting with dollars. Send campaign contributions to individual candidates who support your positions, and no one else. No contributions to national GOP or state GOP.

Regarding the photographs. They got one thing right "Revolution is the Solution" but it needs to be in their own country, MEXICO!

This will be the death of America. NAFTA, GATT, etc. all were proposed as leveling the economic playing field by building a Mexican middle class and reducing border crimes... NONE of those things happened.

[Hank Rearden]

The cowards are still at it, still caving, still cowering, still kowtowing and still screwing us.

Yes, and are you still voting for them?

[dagnabbit]

[Bush] is selling out the USA and US Citizens to an army of invading criminal squatters and as such is derelict in his sworn duty.
And the sick part is, he's freaking proud of it!

Bush inhabits his own reality. Remember how shocked and nasty he got when consvatives balked at his wasting a a precious SCOTUS pick on crony Harriet Miers?

[CyberAnt]

"you have made false claims"


YOU STILL HAVEN'T NAMED ANY "FALSE CLAIM". Until you do, our conversation is over.

Good idea.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. I'd argue with you but your facts are sorely lacking. The Contract with America has not been flushed.

When you can speak facts and not emotions - I'll get back to you.

[longtermmemmory]

Don't be so quick to give up the ship

People forget that it is not just the people at the top that matter. It is also the grunts and paper pushers that matter.

For example consider all the LOWER level federal judges appointed by Bush.

[itsahoot]

Is there anybody that is that stupid THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THE FALICY OF SUCH A MOVE..?? WE ARE THE ONES WHO WILL LOSE IF THE DEMS GET CONTROL - the repubs don't get punished - WE DO!!

To bad you Didn't listen to Laura Ingraham yesterday. Maybe then you would get it.

[FreedomSurge]

He is spot on. The marches were not ones of protest they were pure unadulterated bullying.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. if Laura is advocating staying home on election day then she's wrong! I would never support such a move - EVER!!

And .. I GET IT!

[itsahoot]

THE FIRST THING THEY PLAN TO DO IS IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT

Well I wouldn't mind f they charged him with the right offense, mainly failing to uphold the Constitution. Mainly to protect and defend the borders of each of the states from invasion.
