We won't have to vote for McCain if we can get our act together and give early support to a good candidate who can get nominated and elected.
Perot only persuaded those foolish enough to vote for him. The democrats lost the house because House republicans ran on the Contract With America in 1994. The CWA was a litany of bold ideas proposed by Gingrich that every American could identify with. Democrats haven't had bold new ideas since the Great Welfare State was proposed by LBJ over 40 years ago.
The Demoncrats used to have some good conservatives. Zell Miller and Nathan Deal were better conservatives than most Republicans. Zell has retired, and Deal has crossed the aisle, but there might still be some conservative Demoncrats, esp. at the state level. IIRC, Campbell is a better conservative than most RINOs.
But, you're missing the point. We're not worrying about the Demoncrat party. We know which way its going and what sorta people are flocking to it. Problem is the 'Pubbies are following 'em on their leftward march. No point is supporting a party that has decided to take your votes for granted as it marches to the center-left.
Now the dumb statements start proving their posters oblivious to the point of Mr. Robinson and to the principles of the Free Republic.
Here's one for you:
I'm conservative and I think God took his sweet time creating everything, and allowed some changes to occur by evolution, though He fashioned mankind in His own image. I also think the whole 6-day thing was God's taking poetic license. So there!
I think I understand why you wrote what you did, but would you mind clarifying one point for me?
Which movement, exactly, are you refering to; a conservative movement, or a Republican movement?
Proof and evidence are usually not a part of the creationist arsenal. That kinda explains why you posted your bait upthread and refuse to back it up with the evidence now. Nice try, WKB. Good luck the next time.
Free Republic is a conservative site.
Goodnight all. Tomorrow is almost here.
Agreed.
Was letting the Assualt Weapons Ban expire moving to the left?
Continue to wallow in denial with childlike demeanor. Won't spoil my day.
It's NOT the Party, the Party is what it has always been...
It's the rise of Marxists in the Media you should worry about.
The constant din of lies from the left keeps getting disproven, but the Media salicates over the NEXT one, then hardly says OOPS when it's disproven, and moves on....
Y'all are giving Bush hell over the immigration stance, but it's this very disaster he's been trying to hold off by keeping this a Non-issue!!!
If we come down HARD, Dems get 10 million new voters...
If we come down soft, the base gets mad, and Dems get 10 million new voters...
If we do nothing, the base stays home in November, and DEMS still win....
No matter how you lok at it, this is NOT the issue we want to die over......
The illegal demonstrators are counting on the fact that their demonstrations will will force both parties to cave and give in to their demands.
And if both parties cave what happens to America? Who is the biggest loser?
When did Perot hold that disasterous debate on free trade and immigration where he called Mexicans 'peons' or words to that effect?
That was the turning point in his influence, IMO. He was really badly prepared for that debate, and was badly beaten by his opponent.
Can't remember the opponent.
Was promising to sign it if it made it to his desk an example of standing his ground?
How 'bout farm subsidies? Drugs for Geezers? No Child gets Ahead? The proposed "Not-An-Amnesty"?
***utter desperation by the Democrats is the root of these demonstrations for 'rights', an attempt to grab millions of votes.****
BINGO!!!
NOTHING else has worked for them, so now they pander desperately for the Hispanic vote....
Despite misteps by Bush, his low numbers are not translating to Dem victories, and the numbers still show dems LOSING seats in November....
But NOW we have to face some basic facts. It's too late to stop the folks already here, and our BEST hope is stopping the flood still to come. Anything else is Lose-lose for us!!
