If you do not vote, then do not complain
vanity | 10/16/06 | Cobra64

Posted on 10/16/2006 1:22:07 PM PDT by Cobra64

I've been reading so many posts from FReepers who said they are not going to vote or will vote for a third party to "show Republicans that I don't support their actions."

Quite frankly, I am very disappointed in many of the actions of Republicans who are supposed to be Conservative. By nature, I am more of a supporter of the Constitution Party because the United States Constitution is what makes America unique. All else is secondary.

Regardless,when I think about the larger issue, America's security, I cannot bring myself not to vote for the Republicn party. The Constitution party will never win. My objective is more focussed on getting more Republicans to think more about the Constitution and forget socialism, and political correctness.

It is obvious that the Democrats' hatred of our President is so deep that they do not love our countyr.

Kerry, Pelosi, Murtha are exemplary of so many Democrats.

If you don't vote... Don't complain when the Democrats decide to pull another Viet Nam and commit us to defeat.

They just want to embolden our enemies, causing more death to our military, and more attempts like 9-11.

If Democrats take over Congress, those here who did not vote have themselves to thank.

If the fate of the nation depends on a single election then what difference does it make if I vote or not.

Never vote for an incumbent. In a few years we might return to honest politicians. This is called term limits.

I would say, if you don't vote republican then you can't complain.


We have too many third party fringes and trolls around to not be specific.

Can I vote AND complain?:) Seriously, though, I have no problem casting a protest vote against the Republican if there's no chance he/she will lose.

It really isn't anyone else's business for whom and why I cast my vote.

Did anyone ask you for whom and why you will vote?

The most important concerns of mine is upholding the Constitution of The United States of America, The American Flag, and our military.

All the rest is a subset.

Well said, Cobra64. The kitty will know when to strike, as do Cobras. ;)

Anyone who sits it out is as ba(d) as a DUmmy and should have their second am(m)endment rights revoked.

Rights are irrevocable. Of course, they can be violated as you seem to be willing to do.

I am with cripplecreek. I haven't missed voting in an General Election since 1968, my first one eligible. But no one has the right to tell me who to or who not to vote for. This is FreeRepublic not the RNC official site.

Did someone try to tell you who to vote for? Or did someone merely basically say, don't come crying to me if you vote for the Dems. Big difference, IMHO. :)

Sorry but using 9-11 to scare people into voting for your political party is exploiting a tragedy.

"Let's get some feedback from loyal Americans on your remark."

My feedback: Spoken like a true Dem pundit.

I must have missed that vote - I don't recall Congress giving amnesty to the illegals. When did that happen?

SB2611. Our House heroes saved us.

People who think whining about immigration or spending has anything to do with the November elections are flat wrong. Your choices in that arena were during the primaries. If that escaped your attention then too bad.

I did vote during the primaries and was not offered a decent choice for governor. My vote for House Rep was overrruled. But that does not mean I have to vote for what's left.

Insulting others by calling us Democrats does a disservice to the GOP. Is the party that out of ideas and issues that insults are required immediately? That used to be the campaign strategy of the Dems. It's disappointing to see Republicans using it.

No. And I don't need to justify by giving my prior voting record, campaigns worked for, or contributions given. I find it interesting that a seemingly large percentage of the posters here result to insults and demeaning statements if the party line isn't toted. Is the party that devoid of ideas and intelligent debate?

I have a friend that does nothing but bitch about the Republicans, but has never voted in his life.........

The premise that people who do not vote do not have a right to bitch is BS. In many cases, the concious decision to not vote is, in itself a vote. It is a vote for NONE OF THE ABOVE!

I agree. I alluded to that when I mentioned that I'm more of a Constitutionalist than what is called the Republican party. Maybe I should have been more clear. I've been voting Republican since 1968.

You must've been the one I copied the peso from to print and send when I get requests for money from the RNC. Thanks.

And I do hope the Republicans take the majority again in both Houses - and this time use it well. But I'm voting on a candidate-by-candidate basis, not based on party affiliation alone. Of course, I'd rather eat raw squid than vote for a Democrat. But this is the first time ever I didn't even consider that all Republicans were better than the 3rd party options - this makes me very sad.
