Okay I'll try again more reasonably on the stay at home conservatives

Honey, you sure stirred up a hornets nest.

Although, I'll admit, they're being kinder to you than normal, when faced with having a lib, dem, dum, lying, cheating, scum for a President. We had one of those last time.

I for one, would never vote for any rat because.............they are rats! and our party at the very least, does have a moral plank! The other side has nothing. They never have in my life time!
They are a death party.

And also, when the election really does get rolling, you're going to see some action, when they see who the demdum nom actually is.
You want to know about FREEPING...just you wait! ;-)

It tickles me, just thinking about it! ;-)))

A voter should go for the R in the main election and seek changes only in the primaries before the main election.

The problem I have with the protest votes in the main elections is Ross Perot and how that gave us 8 years of Clinton.

We don't need that.

[patton]

What democrat expanded the federal government by $1 trillion?

Bush.

[patton]

Read it many times, thanks. Sanctimious a-holes who vote (R) nauseate me.

[P-40]

The problem I have with the protest votes in the main elections is Ross Perot and how that gave us 8 years of Clinton.

The Republicans gave us eight years of Clinton.

[P-40]

Mr. Perot ran in both 1992 and 1996, although he didn't do as well in 1996, gaining only around 8% of the vote.

I could have said that better. He was not a significant factor in 1996, with or without his VP.

So your going to show yourself as a fraud conservative and vote to get the democrats in power?

I don't respond to ad hominem. Care to make your case without insulting me?

Why do you hate our troops so much? why do you want to pay higher taxes?

This is a hateful thing to say to someone who has carried the conservative banner for over 30 years, and supported the troops when it wasn't "in fashion", not much later than the sKerry treason testimony days when they used to call our brave boys "baby killers" openly. I rallied for Reagan in the heart of liberal land and spent thousands of dollars and thousands of hours helping candidates I cared about. What have YOU done?

As for taxes, do you really think this RINO Congress who has spent us into a hole bigger than any Congress has in history won't renege on this issue too, once they're safely voted in for more terms? Have you forgotten W's RINO Dad and his lying, lying lips?

If I can't meaningfully threaten to withhold my support and vote in order to champion the CORE conservative values I care about, to a mincing GOP who supports Democrats over Republicans and RINOs over conservatives, what do you propose I use as a tactic against the heinous direction I see my party going?

[EDINVA]

two words should inspire disaffected Republicans, or single-issue conservatives: Roberts and Alito.

The alternative? Souter and Kennedy

Ultimately, that's what it will come down to. With a Democrat controlled Senate, Bush will not get thru a conservative nominee for SCOTUS and will have to compromise as did his father and President Reagan .. and look what we got there!

[A CA Guy]

No, the percentage of people who broke away from Bush 1 to vote for Perot gave us Clinton.

Bush 1 had to deal with the end of the S&L crash from Carter and people replaced the man with a fool who didn't take Bin Laden, enabled the nuclear missiles of China and soiled our honor for years.

Those who voted Perot were taking votes from conservatives, not the libs.

Perot voters = a bunch of total idiots.

[A CA Guy]

Clinton was a great con man.
Had a good look, but all he could do was follow a poll.

As 96 came around, he had set up false representations of himself to the people that most had not seen through yet.

Keep in mind that when a Democrat is in office, all the poor disappear from the streets and there is mostly no negative press. So once in office, a Democrat is harder than a Republican to defeat.

[P-40]

Those who voted Perot were taking votes from conservatives, not the libs.

It was the conservatives that voted for Perot when he ran on things that would interest conservatives. The Republicans should have taken note and been...conservative.

[A CA Guy]

All those conservatives who protest voted for Ross Perot gave us Bill Clinton.
Total stupidity on the part of anyone who did that.
The only thing MORE stupid would be not learning from that mistake IMO.

[Poser]

IB4TZ?

[P-40]

All those conservatives who protest voted for Ross Perot gave us Bill Clinton.

Then the voters got what they wanted. I also recall a contract with America that gave conservatives what they wanted and then Republicans got what they wanted...and it is now theirs to throw away again.

[A CA Guy]

No, the voters had the con job pulled over their eyes.

The old BS about protest voting which is always of benefit to liberals.

[P-40]

No, the voters had the con job pulled over their eyes.

That is what elections are for.

[A CA Guy]

Learning from their past mistakes and not making bad protest votes again is what having a brain is for.

People need to pay attention long enough to remember the past IMO.

[P-40]

People need to pay attention long enough to remember the past IMO.

They won't. That takes effort. Very few remember why exactly the Republicans control all three branches right now.

[A CA Guy]

Two main reasons IMO would be:

Clinton right off with gays in the military and having Hillary trying to right away follow up with socialized medicine and trying to take over a seventh of the US economy.

Newt and the contract with America. What they did when they came in.

[P-40]

Newt and the contract with America.

The whack-job wife electing herself co-president sure helped the Republicans but the Contract With America was by far the best. Exciting time to be a Republican...and I sure miss those days at times.
