Some sensitive democrat supporters got my previous post pulled and I admit I went overboard but I am just so angry at how ridiculous some people get.
The whole Idea that because the republicans haven't done everything you want you want them out and want the democrats in TO SEND A MESSAGE.
The only message it sends is you want Bush impeached or at least a long costly trial that will weaken the US in the world and embolden the terrorists.
You want a much better chance at much higher taxes.
You want a very good chance we cut and run from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Tell me these things won't happen if the dems take over and since when do conservatives want cut and run and higher taxes?
And why do you want the terrorists emboldened by a weakened Bush?
Yes he hasn't been perfect but the alternative is much worse.
The Republican congress under Bush has been both good and bad for conservatives.
But the dems would make it 100 percent bad.
I agree on Bush's immigration bill. But it's much better than anything the dems want and if the dems win that's what will happen.
And another point if a vacancy happens in the SC right now at worst we'd get a middle of the road person if the dems win they'd make the most liberal justice look like Rush in comparison.
Vote republican even if you have to hold your nose and work at getting better candidates in 08.
If you truly believe the dem you'd vote for is better you're probably misled at best but vote for him/her.
But just to send a message don't do it.
It took the dems 12 years to take control if they do in 06. Do you want to wait that long to take control back?
I've been disappointed in Bush myself. But when I think of the alternative I get nightmares literally.
The dems will go for impeachment, higher taxes, cut and run and no immigration laws. They may not get them but its certainly much more likely to happen.
A vote against the republicans either for a dem or in default by not voting period is a vote against anything happening good for the conservative movement.
Maybe I'm different because I'm not 100 percent conservative. Some of my views lean a bit liberal (the biggest is while I'm anti gay marriage I am pro civil unions. By the way many gays agree with me on that including my gay republican cousin). But I'd rather vote for a rep willing to make some compromises than any democrat.
We're never going to get eveyrthing we want. But we're going to get what we have taken away and definitely not anything more with a democrat congress.
And believe me I will need a barf bag and nose clips to vote for Judy Barr Topinka in November. I think I should have an ambulance at the ready in case.
This is the first governor or presidential race I haven't put time into since I was 8 years old. I even go back to before I was able to vote to Ford in 1976 helping stuff envelopes at 8 years old.
Heck I've even voted for a democrat or too WHEN HE WAS THE BETTER CANDIDATE! Not to send a message but because he was the better candidate.
And for those who think I'm a DU in disguise. Read my post history.
Or why the heck do you think I'm ashamed to be from Park Ridge? Dave Butts the Washington Redskins star? No her name rhymes with Sillary Flinton.
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.
Bush.
Read it many times, thanks. Sanctimious a-holes who vote (R) nauseate me.
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!
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.
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.
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.
IB4TZ?
No, the voters had the con job pulled over their eyes.
The old BS about protest voting which is always of benefit to liberals.
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.
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.
