"Only Republicans willing to see the Congress of the United States turned over a party now controlled by left-wing lunatics could stand by and allow that to happen simply to satisfy a desire to get even with the GOP for not doing everything they should have done to control illegal immigration and out-of-control government spending. And if they think things are bad now, wait until Speaker Pelosi takes charge in the House and Senator Harry Reid gets to run the Senate." There's always time to repent and return to the true faith.
Who was it who said how can you say conservatism won't work when it has never been tried?

Just to play devil's advocate, what would REALLY happen if the Democrats won back the House in 2008?
President Bush would still be president and would still be able to veto any bill that did not pass his muster.
The RINO Senate would probably moderate any extremism from the House.
The GOP will be sent a lesson that ignoring the conservative wing means loss of power, just as much as ignoring moderates.
The Democrats will have lost a campaign issue for 2008 when they would try to argue that a GOP-led Congress is leading us down the road to ruin.
The mainstream would get a quick reminder, just in time for 2008, what unstable kookballs now run the Democrat party.
While nobody wants Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers or Alcee Hastings running the House, a quick taste of what it looks like might be the very BEST thing that could happen to reawaken the conservative base and drive them to the polls in record numbers.

This is just an amazing piece of truth - I hope everybody who has any relative who is even considering staying home on election day will send them this article - it might help to wake them up.

Conservatives have to rally and turn out yet another time. Much of the disaffection is that President Bush is lacking leadership qualities and is weak on some conservative principles. However, the alternative in the last election, Kerry, would have been far worse.
Likewise, a democratic house or senate would precipitate yet another military defeat similar to the ones the democrat congresses produced in Viet-Nam and Somalia.
Conservatives must remember that the twin wars against terror and liberalism will be of long duration. We should not lose a battle to punish unfaithful elected officials. Marginal victory is always better than a loss.
Buckle up, get out and vote. We must not stop trying to move the country in the right direction. We can correct the weak leadership and RINO situations another day as opportunities present themselves.
As an example, in Tennessee three guys ran for the Republican nomination for Senator. Two were conservative and the third a RINO. The conservatives took votes from each other and the RINO, a Lamar Alexander clone, won. I liked Bryant, but the RINO must win over Harold Ford. This is example of where the voters have to get out. We conservatives lost in the nominating process, but now cannot sit a home unless we want Senator Ford. As feckless as Lamar Alexander is, his is much better than a Senator Sasser or a Senator Gore.
Turnout is the key, and if we conservatives turnout and the Republicans hold or pick up seats, we have a double win: a victory for America and a further strengthening of our hand in the Republican party. We will be able even more to deal from strength.

"The concept that it's a good idea to wreak vengeance on the Republican Party by standing aside and allowing Democrats, who will proceed to wreak havoc on the nation, to take over Capitol Hill, is nothing less than a death wish that borders on insanity."
He nails it.

. . .All, however, agreed that the key to this election is Republican turnout. And what's jeopardizing the turnout? This delusional and suicidal madness for amnesty and open borders by the President, Rove, Mehlman, McCain, et al.
These "leaders" are trading away our culture and our adherence to law and order for some imaginary votes 30 years down the road. They give loyal conservatives the choice of letting the Democrats take over now and lose the War against Islam (honest definition), or continuing with those Republicans who want to turn the country into a third world Tegucigalpa a few years down the road. great choice!
Come out strong against amnesty and the southern invasion and you will get the 63 million who turned out in 2004 and more. Or continue on the current path and lose.
And don't blame the no-shows. Blame yourselves. The election is in your hands. Don't be stuck on stupid!

Real conservatives swallowing their principles to support RINO Globalist Neocons for fear of Demorats will only remove the voice we have left. They will claim our support is a "mandate" for the destruction of our sovereignty on the alter of "free" trade.
Just like the Black vote has become taken for granted by the Demorats who only pay lip service to legitimate Black issues and pander to the racialist Black grievance industry elite, we will become a token to be pandered to, and ignored.
The RINO neocons have blindly embraced the destruction of the West in the pursuit of profit. The West will not be lost any faster if the Demorats embrace this destruction in the pursuit of votes.
The last hope of our country, and of Western civilization, is in accepting a possible tactical loss while keeping our eyes on a strategic victory.
A strategic victory that lets the RINOs know in no uncertain terms, that their power and position is in jeopardy if they ignore the will of the people.

PING to an interesting and insightful article -- maybe some of them read your posts from a while ago, on the subject.
"Most of the pessimists and that includes just about every political guru around insist that Republicans will sit it out, thus handing control of the House at the very least, and maybe even the Senate, to the Democrats. I'll accept that view only if Republican voters prove to be either politically suicidal of just plain stupid.
The concept that it's a good idea to wreak vengeance on the Republican Party by standing aside and allowing Democrats, who will proceed to wreak havoc on the nation, to take over Capitol Hill, is nothing less than a death wish that borders on insanity.
Getting even with congressional Republicans for failing to live up to your expectations by throwing them out of office is on a par with killing yourself to get even with your doctor because he failed to cure you of a bad cold while you are still suffering from a chronic disease that requires constant medical care.
The mood among conservative GOP voters may be sour, bitter, and resentful, but I can't believe that when Election Day rolls around and they recognize the consequences of staying home and handing the Congress over to the thoroughly demented Democratic Party, they won't bestir themselves to go out and cast their votes for their Republican incumbents or candidates, even if they have to hold their noses while they mark their ballots.
It is, after all, better than the alternative which is just plain unthinkable."
