Current poll:
"A time for choosing: It appears that a significant number of our members are so disgusted with the GOP's failure to secure our borders against illegal aliens that they are willing to risk all by voting them out of office, even if it means Pelosi, Reid, Hillary, et al, are allowed to take charge. Is this the best course of action or should we be working harder than ever to hold the line and actually try to make a difference by getting more constitutionally-minded conservatives elected? Are you willing to give it all up or are you more determined than ever to keep the Marxists out of power?" _____
So far, 13% of members and 18%+ of participants in this poll say - turn it over to the rats. What's with that? I cannot believe that 13% of those posting here are so stupid or angry with what is happening that they would turn to the rats for the way back to perfect. Now, 13% will result in a winning vote, in a lot of cases.
Anyway, I guess that there is no compromising for some people - just dig a hole and live there while the rats are in charge. I'm so disappointed.
The poll is flawed and not worth the bytes it consumes.
The GOP has damaged its brand name; they have made themselves meaningless, and are probably going to go the way of the Wigs. I see many are more loyal to a rotten brand then to the underlying values they are supposed to represent. Some of you will buy anything thrown into the Republican cereal box. I voted for Mel Martinez the last time around because he made the right noises and had that little R next to his name; but; after the latest immigration fiasco, I will be pulling to throw the anti-American SOB out of office. The Republicans can either run a replacement or lose the seat; the choice is theirs.
Facetious never works for me either!
But, hey, I still do it.
FYI, I never claimed to be a "loyal" republican, as if that isn't becoming a contradiction of terms...
Keep it up. That's just the attitude causing that now almost 20%
Perhaps you should take it up with this guy:
Well, there is the Republican party with some conservative members and some not so conservative and then there's the evil Marxist liberal socialist Democrat Party. I'd rather have a conservative Republican in office, but I'll take a not so conservative Republican over any evil Marxist liberal socialist Democrat any day of the week. And I might express my unhappiness with some of his policies but I think I've learned my lesson about irreversibly trashing the Republican office holder or the Republican base or the party itself (at least not too much trashing). As they say, the alternative is unthinkable.
or
We can't do that. All WE can do is throw the REPUBLICAN bums out. And after we do that, the DEMOCRAT bums will be so deeply entrenched, we'll never get them out. Can you say wandering in a liberal/socialist wilderness for the next forty years?
UP TO 19%+ FOR TURNOVER!
I have a question for you?? IF John McCain is the GOP candidate for President, are you going to vote for him, just to save the "party?"
Too late. We already do not forgive you liberal capitulators for the destruction you have brought upon our republic in the name of maintaining some modicum of political viability.
Why? What different are they then? Isn't someone who runs as a Republican actually someone who is supposed to BE one?
In fact, it's the truth; you just can't see it because of your tunnel vision.
"I've been here a lot longer then you"
As a poster.
So the whole thing is corrupt, what's your point.
Do you remember the very FIRST words out of Hillary Clinton's mouth when the 2000 election was declared in Bush's favor?
Perhaps you should inform yourself before you make silly statements like that.
"Trolls or fanatical purists willing to give up the Republic over a single issue."
Man, that could be it! But, 13% of members voting? WOW!
OMG! She's not the leader now? Could've fool me LOL
I keep reading freepers, like you, that haven't taken the poll, because they don't like the wording, choices or whatever...
FGS...it isn't like you vote is going to be tattooed to your forehead....it is only on FR..for our "information"..
Dang...Then ya'll come on this thread to complain about the poll and the thread...WHY??
One thing I have noticed in the year and a half that I have been a freeper is that the sense of humor has completely disappeared!!!
This poll and thread is a GREAT CHANCE for freepers to state they opinions, debate their opinions, exchange ideas, without going onto unrelated threads and posting this stuff!!
Lighten up everybody...answering a freeper poll isn't a matter of life and death, FGS....our troops would probably LAUGH or CRY if they read this thread right now.
