MESSAGE FOR STAY AT HOME REPUBLICANS (VANITY)

Posted on 10/28/2006 12:53:49 PM PDT by tomnbeverly

Stay at home Republicans make no mistake your unenthusiastic view of this years GOP candidates has the potential to cause a measure of distress for the remainder of your natural life. Why ?

1. A Democrat wave that takes over Congress will be heralded by the MSM and the Liberals as a mandate to:

a. Withdraw from Iraq (regardless of cost in human lives or the future outcome). Vietnamization of Iraq will be completed but unlike the result of Vietnam which was the Cold War against Communist aggression, the results of failed Iraq will embolden an unstoppable Radical Muslim uprising. Whereas the Cold War had mutually assured destruction as a preventative to attack the new Terror war will result in multiple attacks on America with countless civilian deaths.

b. Investigate the Bush administration, witch hunt the entire administration with the end goal of an impeachment. Why? Well for among other things the vindication of Bill Clinton and the sealing of his legacy as that of the last great president in the U.S. Instead of Bush being a post 911 hero the MSM and liberals will ensure the Bush is blamed for every failure. In the minds of the MSM and liberals it is already so and they feel if he had not embarked on such folly as Iraq well then we would not be in the mess we are in today. I figure he is blamed for every attack on America and for any pitfall in our war on terror, for oh say the next 8 or 9 years.

c. Cancel the 700 mile border fence and stir a liberal outcry for amnesty. Watch for some kind of agreement between our Congress and Mexico's government. This will also be a way for the Liberals to get their message to the Illegal immigrants that will be the new Democrat voting block ensuring continued victories at the polls.

d. Sponsor a new amendment to the constitution one that instills homosexual marriage with the same rights as that of heterosexual marriage. To be heralded as a 21st century civil rights triumph.

e. Implement laws for a national health care system. One that will implement a class warfare that only the super rich will be able to get medical care outside of the this new government system and as such the super rich will get better health care then those middle class and poor that go to the government clinics.

f. Tax increases across the board resulting in large corporation lay off of many workers. Firings and lay offs will be used in order to recoup these new taxes from their payroll base resulting in stifled company growth. The end result of course will be to plunge our economy into sever depression. Those lucky enough to keep jobs will be taxed senseless to pay for the new wave of welfare class that will develop out of this depressed society.

g. Implement laws for the Fairness doctrine which of course will require liberal media coverage including talk radio and TV for any opposition point of view.

2. Everyone make no mistake about it your failure to act will result in generations paying the price. GET OUT AND VOTE REPUBLICAN.

The GOP has to earn our vote.

By nominating people like Kathrine Harris, right?

I would like to add that it is a mortal sin to vote for a Democrat.

Also, if you stay home and do not vote, that is a sin of omission.

I agree with what you just said, but...I disagree with your last sentence.

The stakes are too high not to blame someone if they cannot overcome their disappointment on this or that issue and get out and vote. I understand how you feel...I just feel differently is all.

As always, though...you add to the conversation!

Any thinking voter doesn't give a hoot about polls. If they do, they're too stooopid to vote anyhow.

When I see polls around here, this is my response:

You're right. We shouldn't let the Democrats do that. Our very own RINOs are doing each and every one of those very things juuuuuust fine.

Just be gentle with those knives. My back is running out of room.

The "stay at homers" would rather "punish" republicans who don't vote exactly the way they want and have a communist country run by democrats.

Dude, nobody's staying home, OK? Stop with the snob party-hack elitism.

This entire discussion would be moot anyway had the Republicans just stuck to a solid conservative agenda.

Great post! Did you post it anywhere? It's unlikely to be a huge number of cut & run republicans here at Freerepublic.

Thanks for validating your hypocrisy.

We're supposed to crawl through broken glass for Republicans but REAL Republicans like Harris, Mountjoy, etc. get the shaft.

It is not conservatives voters' fault that the GOP loses elections.

Personally, I believe the act of running as a Republican and then behaving like a Democrat once elected is a grievous mortal sin.

With that in mind, my refusal to support such sinful conduct is, by its very nature, a virtue.

For ALL of those who are thinking of sitting out the election. Go back and listen to Zell Millers speech to the 2004 GOP convention and remember WHY we vote.

Scroll down and look for Zell Miller on the left hand side.

I agree and I made it a priority to vote and told others to vote too.

But it's frustrating. The GOP has held power for six years. Look at the spending, inaction on energy, and letting the liberals trash and handicap our troops to the point that it's making the war drag on longer.

In 2008 when the Republicans do this again when they haven't accomplished anything what are you going to do? If not now, when?

BTW, Harris EARNED her support from conservatives. That's why she won the primary, she ran as a REAL Republican and didn't back down from the party bosses.

Isn't it funny how the same people who are bagging on conservatives to hold their nose and vote for their pet RINOs are the same ones who go out of their way to sabotage conservative candidates?

What gets me is that these jokers have the audacity to insist that we should oust RINOs in the primaries...the same primaries during which they repeatedly screech that conservatives are "unelectable."

Personally, I think it's time the RINO-coddlers held their own damned noses and supported the Republican platform for a change. And if they don't like it, they're welcome to switch parties.

You have done a better job of clarifying the Democrat platform than they have.

The truth is, however, I think the GOP is more fired up than the msm would have you believe. While apathetic and underinformed Americans may turn out to the polls once every four or eight years to take a whack at the Presidential election, midterms usually just stir up informed voters and solid citizen types who have a good grasp of the issues at stake and understand that progress or even the status quo is better than backsliding. That is why GOP GOTV efforts are the best in the country. We have the most informed voters as well as the most people committed to doing the tough work.

Those advocating staying home generally fall into three camps: Democrat/liberal demoralization crews, Third-party advocates looking to build their power base, and people who vote based on perception and emotion rather than evidence and long-term strategic goals.

The first two groups are lost causes, but we all occasionally fall into the last group and your post does a great job of bringing us around to the real stakes in this election. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm going to vote all R, but make no mistake, I don't think they deserve my vote this year. They led the spending spree, they have sat idly on their hands regarding the illegal immigration issue, they clam up when the discussion turns to Iraq, and they have walked away from the Conservative precepts. The grassroots is mad, and Republicans in both houses take our votes for granted, as the Dems do the Black vote. The question is: if they retain the Houses, will they continue to take our concerns for granted? If so, in the election of '08, we'll lose it all.

I agree.

I had made up my mind to sit out this election, but Foley, the Reid corruption, and the ramping-up of the "disarm the victim and empower the criminal" crowd ( also known as "we just need a few more sensible gun regulations..." ) finally made me change my mind.

So once more, I will vote "R"- but if I don't see some changes between now and 2008, they had better not count on me again.

You keep repeating this like it means something. I've never said anything like this.

It is not conservatives voters' fault that the GOP loses elections.

That is correct. It's the fault of idiotic, egotistical a$$hats who would rather whine then get half of what they want. They can be of any ideological stripe within the party. I condemn any moderate GOPer who refused to support Tom Coburn just as much as I condemn any conservative GOPer who refuses to vote for Mike DeWine.

The GOP has to earn our vote.

By nominating people like Kathrine Harris, right?

And by supporting conservatives like Randy Graf. The National Republican Congressional Committee (RNCC) more than earned the wrath of real Republicans when they threw their money to the liberal RINO Jim Kolbe in September. Thank God we conservatives didn't listen to the RINO defeatists and stuck to our guns with Graf!

Interesting. They threw their money to Kolbe even though he WASN'T RUNNING?!?!?!?!!?

And will you still be happy if Graf loses?
