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 second type are the ones so angry at the GOP that they want to teach the party a lesson by letting the democrats win.
This is a mistake because since campaign finance reform it's moe difficult to go against the incumbant in elections. Furthermore, the democrats tend to pass laws to make it easier for them to maintain power and more difficult for the GOP to get back in.
Also, the dems want to pass a law that will actually replace conservative talk am radio with elevator music. It's called the fairness doctrine.
I have a question for the cut and run republicans.
Given that a democrat defeat will actually make it much easier for Mcain to win the GOP Primary in 2008, enable Pelosi, Hillary and Kerry to make speeches about the pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-tax, pro-embryonic stem cell research MANDATE that Americans gave them on November 7th. Are you willing to concede that democratically elected mandate to them?
They did it to Toomey - screeching that he was "unelectable" but begged us to support the vile Specter in the general.
I particularly find the haughtiness of their remarks denigrating conservatives annoying, especially. It reads like a New York Times editorial.
"If the Republicans lose either the House or Senate, it is because they've done a PATHETIC job of governing."
BS
The economy is very good.
National Security takes front stage.
Taxes have been reduced.
That is not pathetic. That is good. Lynne Cheney said it better than I can, when grilled by Wolf Blitzer.
And as for your "will you still be happy if Graf loses?" query, am I correct in assessing you as another one of those RINO-coddling "conservatives are unelectable" screechers?
Ted Kennedy has been a Senator for all of my adult life, I've survived him.
I bought my first house when Ronald Reagan was President. I got a VA mortgage at 12.5%. Not only did I survive it, I paid it off early.
I survived with Tip O'Neill as Speaker of the house, Thurgood Marshall as a Supreme Court Justice, Maya Angelou as national poet laureate or whatever she was.
My best wage earning years were during the Clinton administration. My worst were during the GW Bush administration. Neither one of them had anything to do with it.
A big deal used to be made about the Democratic Plantation. You don't hear that as much anymore because the Republicans decided that owning a plantation wasn't such a bad idea after all, they just have different slaves tilling their fields.
If the Republicans lose the House and Senate, even if they lose the Presidency I won't lose any sleep over it. If they do it won't be my fault so please quit writing about as if it would be. It would be their fault for abandoning everything that got them elected in the first place. I'm not staying home on election day but I have no quarrel with the people who do. They have every right to be disgusted with what is happening to their party.
but if I don't see some changes between now and 2008, they had better not count on me again.
We have trained them to ignore us.
Likewise with Schwarzenegger over McClintock. The same people who did nothing but bag on Tom as "unelectable" are now insisting that we should support their Kennedy(R). Bah. They can't be bothered to support the real principles of the party, so I honestly can't put much stock in their demand for blind loyalty.
I particularly find the haughtiness of their remarks denigrating conservatives annoying, especially. It reads like a New York Times editorial.
Indeed. It's as irritating as it is condescending. Rather than take our grievances seriously, they choose to trivialize and marginalize them. And then, when they know that they've really shot themselves in the foot, they start gearing up to blame their failures on everyone but themselves.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.
Umm, no, actually, you are obviously ignorant.
KOLBE DIDN'T RUN FOR RE-ELECTION, HE RETIRED.
And no, I'm merely asking a question, because he is likely to lose, not because he's a Conservative, but because he's a one-issue candidate who didn't have the broad support of most Republicans and Conservatives. Matter of fact, considering he had run before, the 42% of the vote he got in the primary was pathetic.
Well I was thinking about posting a vanity on this. So let me post it on this vanity and see if you particularly would answer. I sat down the other day to list reasons to vote for the GOP this election or sit out.
Reasons to Vote GOP:
1. The War on Terror.
2. Taxes/the economy
3. Judges
4. The fence
5. Cultural issues
6. Page preditors are thrown out rather than eulogized.
Reasons to sit it out:
1. Not enough effort on the border.
2. Spending.
Am I missing anything on either the plus or minus list?
Are any of my plusses not plusess? [They are not the only positives I see, but the one I would think any conservative would agree with.]
Would anyone believe the Dims would be better on the border or spending?
I just returned from EV here in Texas. I heard at least three "assistants" for the electronic voting tell voters to press the second choice to vote straight Dem. Granted, they likely knew these folks from the primaries. It still sounded bad.
Dude, you are wrong. Of the ten, or so, conservative friends that I have living close by, two (that would be 20 percent) are staying home and they can't be convinced otherwise. They say that they want democrats to take control so that republicans get scared straight. Of course history shows that that is not what works - money works.
Stop with the head in the sand mentality. Every election the rock solid liberals stay home or vote Nader or some other clown, handing the elections to republicans. Conservatives are trying their best this election to hand the elections back.
So we should just sit back and enjoy getting screwed?
As long as the Republican in office has no principles and is nearly identical to the Rat on the issues, it's OK because he has the magical R next to him?
Riddle me this: Why can't the Republican just act like Republicans? Low taxes, limited government, strong defense, traditional values...remember those? These are all the tried-and-true formulas that makes the GOP a winner. There's no need for any Republican to "move to the middle" or "become an enlightened moderate" or "appeal to independents."
Why is that so hard for the GOP to understand? Now you know why they're called the Stupid Party, right?
LOL!!! The grammar police have arrived.
And I love this little item every time I see it.
Your heart might be in the right place, but your priorities are backwards. You value entertainment, I could care less about talk radio and haven't had a TV since 1999. OTOH, I own 25 round magazines that the democrats would like to ban again.
I understand.
I give President Bush some credit for doing what he said he was going to do, which was work with the Donks.
But I take credit away when I consider that he has not gone to playing hardball, and he has let the libs trash him, his administration and his policies without fighting back.
Having class is one thing. Laying down and repeatedly taking it up the rear with little or no protest is another.
In particular...can you refresh my memory? Didn't The President give the chairmanship of a key committee to the Dems as a gesture, and got stabbed in the back as a result? THAT should have ended the Kumbayah moment.
I invented the comma and am downright nasty about collecting my royalties.
Seriously, it makes the forum look bad when folks write like kids.
You mean this one?
