Looks like you're fixin to get a whole lot angrier.

[DManA]

You need to grow up and place blame where blame belongs.

It's about the Mexicans. At this point, al-Qaeda is secondary for these pygmies.

It's all about the Mexicans!!!

I promise you, a Democratic Congress won't be nearly as responsive to your needs.

I'm confident a Democratic congress will be just as responsive as the Republican congress has been.

[nj26]

I will gladly vote for any conservative Republican candidate that respects the sanctity of life, the 2nd Amendment, and the security and sovereignty of our borders.

If they don't meet those requirements (and the likely Senate nominee in NJ, Tom Kean Jr., does not), I will probably stay home or vote Constitution Party.

[msnimje]

The answer is not less Republicans in Congress, it is MORE!

[SevenMinusOne]

So if the president's stance on immigration and spending upset you - and they do upset me - what are you going to do about it? Stay at home? Nothing could be worse for conservativism. Your non-support will usher in more immigrants, higher taxes, and weaker national security.

If the GOP loses Congress, George W. Bush will be removed from office. Nothing would embolden terrorists more. How can we be counted on to wage an effective war when we can't even decide who our enemy is?

George W. Bush isn't the enemy. But that's exactly the message conservatives will send to the world if they stay at home this November.

Very well said and you have it exactly right - On the whole I truly believe the majority of the base is going to come together this Nov -

2008 primary will be the place to have the larger fight - We are currently in a war and we cannot allow the anti-military, anti-American, anti-sucess in the WOT democrats become a majority in Congress.

[inquest]

But that's exactly the message conservatives will send to the world if they stay at home this November.

You're right. Staying home is stupid. I intend to vote third-party instead.

It was conservatives who got Bush to change his mind on Harriet Meirs.

And do you think he would have if he knew there was no chance of said conservatives bolting in '06?

[Revolting cat!]

I know how you feel!

[hole_n_one]

If the GOP loses Congress, George W. Bush will be removed from office.

Politics isn't for the weakkneed or faint of heart.

Go cower somewhere else.

[SunnyD1182]

If you're upset with W. on immigration - write him, write a Republican Congressman, let him know how you feel. It was conservatives who got Bush to change his mind on Harriet Meirs.

I promise you, a Democratic Congress won't be nearly as responsive to your needs.

What's the point of writing to people who are just going to respond with some sappy patronizing spin-filled letter without changing their policies? That's not called "being responsive." That's called patronizing you and trying to keep your vote while betraying Republican principles.

Medicare prescription drug benefit? Growing deficits? Pork-filled bills? No ANWR oil drilling? No Social Security reform? No immigration bill? No border security? More bureaucracy?

I think the Democratic Congress can be just as "responsive" as that. Except maybe Bush would have the guts to veto them, which he clearly doesn't with respect to "Republican" leadership.

I used to defend the President and this party at all costs, but it's becoming increasingly more difficult to do. And that's their own fault.

[bray]

You are exactly right. My guess is that 1/3 of these "Conservatives" are Seminar posters.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[Sloth]

So if the president's stance on immigration and spending upset you - and they do upset me - what are you going to do about it? Stay at home? Nothing could be worse for conservativism. Your non-support will usher in more immigrants, higher taxes, and weaker national security.

Nonsense. Taking votes away from the GOP is the only way to incentivize it to move rightward, in order to regain our votes. If the GOP knows they'll get conservative votes no matter what, then it is only incentivized to move leftward in an effort to get 'centrist' votes.

If the GOP loses Congress, George W. Bush will be removed from office.

Also nonsense.

[Windsong]

I remember Sam Kinison the late preacher turned comedian used to do a skit about the starving in Africa, in which he shouted "move where the FOOD is!! Arrhhhh!".

I think if he were here today, he'd shout: "Move where there are no mexicans and stop your bitchin'! Arghh!!!".

[bilhosty]

I am just as angry with Bush as anyone. But, I will be danged if I am going to stay home and see a bunch of 'rats get elected.

[freedumb2003]

I'm more upset with Conservatives than I am with George W. Bush

Well, that makes sense. I realized after his Amnesty and after the steel subsidies and the increase in the size of the Government that there is no reason for anyone to expect GWB to be any kind of Conserative.

[YankeeReb]

You have a point , but I'm sick of the "vote republican because as bad as we are the dems are worse" approach. I think if people stay home its more out of frustration than anything else. I mean if you have the house , senate and presidency and you still cringe whenever Dean or Kennedy or McCain for that matter bash your ideas (when they have nothing) then what good are you. Here we have people in the country illegally, openly disgracing our flag and basically telling us "screw you we know you haven't the guts to deport us", and the republicans are sitting around debating how they can pass amnesty without calling it amnesty. < /rant >

[Captainpaintball]

They know we are angry...The ball is in THIER court, lets see what they do with it. We have a right to complain. They have an obligation to EARN our vote.

I think it is better to DEMAND true representation of their elected officials rather than criticize others because they are not eagerly rushing to pick the giant douche over the turd sandwich.

[spikeytx86]

As far as Bush on foreign policy goes he has been superb... Until Iran. If Iran does not represent a need for Preemption then what does? Iran is far more of a threat to us and a mortal one to Israel then Saddam was, and we dealt with him swiftly, but now with Iran we are going to let the Europeans deal with it. We have 130,000 Veteran Troops in Iraq and another 10,000 or so in Afghanistan and a butt load of equipment and logistics in theater so whats with the pussy footing?

[Blackirish]

If six years ago I told you they would expand the size of the Federal government by 50% would you believe me?
If you told me they would no nothing in regards to entitlements, tax reform, tort reform, vouchers...not to mention the borders...

Would you believe that?
