Heck of it is, your team very seldom offers it's best 'cause it always seems that the best is unelectable. At least that what I keep reading and hearing. So you offer up mediocrity (at best) with the promise of changing him/her into the conservative that was unelectable. How many mediocres have you managed to change?
Gawd, pithy & piquant, I love it!!! That would make the absolutely, greatest tagline ever...if only it would fit I would beg you to allow me to use it!!!
Come on, folks--seeking enforcement of our sovereign borders and the rule of law doesn't equate to aiding and abetting a Rat coup d'etat.
If the Republicans lose the majority in either chamber of Congress, it will be because they ignored the warning signs. They will have brought it on themselves.
Two words...Speaker Pelosi
Would it really be that much worse than now???
And you are all over that meme, created by the liberal press who seek to put Democrats in charge by any and all means, like flies on s**t.
Also, you can say what you want but the majority of people in this country want our borders controlled and NO amnesty for criminals.
...right up to the moment where they might get personally inconvenienced, whereupon they'll scream "But I didn't want the government to do THAT!"
When you say border trolls you are name calling without presenting any constructive plan to eliminate or deal with the problem.
That's what the border trolls do; they propose ideas that won't last one second in the real world and call them "solutions."
Bush has screwed up on this, his war on terror has been good as far as it goes, but our borders are part of the war on terror and sooner or later it will become very evident this is true.
And the border trolls once again engage in their specialty: praying for another 9/11 so that they might dance on the corpses of their fellow Americans.
Jumping onto a liberal press meme like flies on s**t does, however--and that's exactly what certain people are doing here.
You cannot hold someone's feet to the fire if you have nothing to back it up. Holding politicians feet to the fire envolves the threat of not voting for them. If we continue to vote for them regardless of their actions then we are not "holding their feet to the fire", we are wimping out because of fear. Vote third party.
If enough conservatives vote third party they will get the hint. If we lose some seats so be it. The best thing to happen would be if a large percentage of conservatives suddenly found the wool off their eyes and voted for, or formed their own, third party. We need one desparately in this country, or soon we will all be subjects and not citizens.
"The last time this happened, Republicans voted for Perot to "send a message" and we got President Clinton."
Maybe the Republican leadership should pay closer attention to their base this time around.
Please feel free.
If you think the agenda in the House wouldn't be a LOT different under the ultra-left leadership of Nancy Pelosi, you either don't know her, or you identify with her politics.
George,
Saved by Grace is not the only one who feels that way. There are more of us than party loyalists realize.
Fair enough. But we'd have to be willing to lose several elections to the Dems while the Republican coalition fractured and was rebuilt, and hope to God that whatever other party comes along doesn't fall victim to the same tone-deafness and cronyism the major parties have.
If only it was three or four words shorter, it cuts off at the 'u' in tug, dang it!
The issue the last time was over GHWBush going back on his pledge and raising taxes after the D's refused to pass a budget until Bush raised taxes.
The faithful threw a hissy fit and went for Perot...we got Clinton and the first thing he did was [drum roll] raise taxes again.
So...threatening to punish the Republican leadership and rank and file by helping them get unelected unless they do what you want is like pointing a loaded gun at your own head and threatening to pull the trigger.
How about: "Taking a break to stick your head up your ____ during tug-o-rope is foolish."
You're helping to prove that those statements are correct, George.
Sure, I'm posting on a conservative website, standing up for conservative principles, and so in your mind I'm just here to sow discord. That makes as much sense as anyother bit of nonsense that the pro-illegal-alien lobby has posted.
Politicians don't get my vote just because they have an R after their name. But for this coming election, the only pressure points I can man are the letter-writing, phone-calling points, and my vote. I am applying pressure on all those points.
What are YOU doing to help secure the borders against this foreign invasion?
I AM stealing that, you know. :)
Maybe...it's just me, but, personally I'm not ready to cut my own throat while standing knee deep in hog $h!! and hope the $h!! clogs up the glash and stops the bleeding before I bleed to death.
"We just don't think it is wise to stick our heads up our ______ and take a break during a game of tug-of-rope."
Try...Its unwise to stick your head up your "A$$" and take a break during a game of tug-of-rope.
That might fit.
