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.
Heya, Fiddlstix.
Do you still have that street preacher picture/avatar somewhere?
Did you vote for Alan Keyes???
"Without excitement, I become apathetic. When I am apathetic, I don't vote."
Please see post #32.
When we are apathetic, we may deserve what we get for our laziness.
They do care because the LIKE their jobs. Republicans have a total volunteer get out the vote effort. It is not the same as the paid volunteers of democrats.
Republicans are not the NAACP.
Ronco even does julian fries. Limited time TV offer only for $14.95, If you act now, a free steak knife set.
You never hit the 5 key in that entire rant...That's pretty good.
Yep. Sure do. Here ya go....
Ditto that. She may want to take this grammar test.

That's the one! Nabbed it this time, thanks.
I love your screen name.
Bingo. Every time RINOs get elected, they know they no longer have to give a tinker's damn about what conservatives want. So they act just like Democrats; raising taxes, passing even more anti-gun and anti-business laws, et cetera. At the most, they'll occasionally throw us a meaningless bone around election time.
No more. Never again.
I say it's time for all those self-described "Republican" RINO-supporters to stop demanding we conservatives support RINOs. I say it's time for those "Republicans" (sic) to start throwing their support to conservative candidates for a change.
Bottom line: I've had enough of these RINO-supporting clowns claiming they're conservative while insisting that conservatives can't get elected. They either need to buck up and support the conservative cause or switch parties.
This almost never happens around here.

Yours is one of many such complaints. It's disheartening to see so many Republican congresspersons (state & federal) so unwilling to make a stand for conservatism.
I'd be tempted to say, yea, let Atlas Shrug, but there is so much at stake - terrorism, illegal immigration, out-of-control spending, etc. - that I'd be afraid we'd be sounding the death knell for the republic.
Maybe we should hand out nose-clothespins at voting booths.
I can't believe you posted that and you use the tag line of 200 spartans who made a serious point with with against incredible odds.
I am just as upset about government growth HOWEVER, I am also happy to see the career bureacrats shifting to the conservative side through attrician and new hires.
we are STILL fighting for the 1994 revolution. We need to scare out not only the democrats but put the RINOs into submission. Rinos like specter should be AFRAID to have his current left wing staffers.
Then we have some serious "MOLON LAVE" when the democrats trying and social engineer our institutions and rights.
I'm not sure why there are so many out there who don't get this one small, but very important point.

As the founding fathers said, reovolutions require SOLUTIONS.
In order to eliminate RINOS we must have their replacements in line. Thus we need to keep the majority "R" control so when specter retires he can be replaced with a conservative.
This way RINOs can be squeezed out.
It took democrats over 60 years to build their power capital. They still have it in DC to spend in abundance.
Beats the heck out of me.
