No thanks, we're stupid...... (conservatives who stay home)

Good read

[cripplecreek]

I have to question the intelligence of those who think people will be driven to vote by insults.

[pnh102]

I wonder if because of this piece the MSM will vault the Washington Times as being a "voice of sanity on the right" the same way it did when the Times called on Hastert to resign.

[MarkDel]

Blankley is right on target. This WAS a good read.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I'm voting, but if the Republicans are offering me an idiot then I just won't vote in that race. I don't do power plays any longer. Power is not sufficient enough reason for me to vote for a particular candidate. It's principle or nothing. If the party wants my support, let them earn it.

[Diddle E. Squat]

"I'm so conservative that I NEVER vote conservative" ( / sarc ) bump

[Dan Evans]

Why are we the ones who are stupid? Why isn't it the Republicans who are acting like Democrats the stupid ones? Why are we the ones who have to bend?

[RexBeach]

Tony's a right smart fellow.

We gotta get out the vote on November 7th or else we might find the nuts in charge of the nuthouse.

Speaker Pelosi? Gag me with a spoon. Literally.

[JFC]

Conservatives, you are either with us or against us..

[Niteranger68]

I have to question the intelligence of those who think people will be driven to vote by insults.

If they can't understand there are two clear choices, neither being perfect, but one much closer than the other, they deserve to be insulted.

[Siena Dreaming]

there may be a million or two conservative Republicans who are planning to not vote this November.

Several hundred thousand of them not voting because of that stupid story Blankley allowed to run which called for Hastert's resignation.

Who's stupid Tony?

[A.Hun]

Any conservative that does not vote Republican this election deserves to be insulted.

[Niteranger68]

It's principle or nothing

OK, put up or shut up. Name a Republican candidate, past or present, who agrees with you on ALL of your top 25 issues.

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

The Supreme Court -- that's the main reason I'm voting GOP. I'm hoping we'll hold the Senate, and I haven't written off the House yet -- but do we really want to weaken the party so much that we'll get another Ginsburg in a few years??? HECK NO!!

[MarkDel]

You don't have to bend...but you should, because the alternative is terrifying. National Security and Judicial Appointments trump all other issues, and on those issues, the Republicans are still light years better than the Democrats under ALL scenarios regardless of whatever flaws they have exhibited.

[T.Smith]

Then go ahead and insult me because I am in no mood to vote Democrat Lite. If there is a third party candidate, I will vote for them. If there is not, then I will carefully consider what I know about the "conservative" candidate and then decide of I want to vote for them or take a pass on that race.

Are we to believe the Republicans are running on, "Hey, at least we're not Democrats!"?

[Tribune7]

Because we are finally getting our courts in order, we haven't been attacked in five years and the Dow just crossed 12,000.

Just keep telling yourself there is no difference between Nancy Pelosi and Denny Hastert or Harry Reid and the Pub who is going to take Frist's place.

[jpsb]

Do something about the border, or forget ever again being the majority party.

[Siena Dreaming]

If there is a third party candidate, I will vote for them

For Heaven's sake...you don't even know who this candidate is, yet you would vote for him/her?

Wow.

[wagglebee]

BTTT!

Great Read!
