Since Tuesday almost all of us have been saddened and angered because we lost Congress to the 'Rats.
Why?
How did our united, magnificent victory in 2004 end up achieving so little and lead us to defeat in 2006?
There are many reasons, but tonight I focus on ONE.
IMHO the term "RINO" is overused. While looking at an ACU rating list I noticed only one Republican Senator with a score below 50 and below any 'Rat Senator - Chafee. I felt he was the only Senate RINO.
But there is another -- far, far worse. He had a lifetime rating of 80 -- yet he is the ULTIMATE RINO!!
Freepers, many of us have been upset the past two years. For some, it was Terry Schiavo. For others it was when Voinovich stabbed Bolton in the back late. For others it was the border issue.
But for me, and I suspect many others, there was another moment that ended our 2004 victory and began our 2006 defeat.
We all don't think alike and in 2004 we worked hard to re-elect GWB for different reasons. One reason I believe at least 95% of Freepers share -- JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS!!!
And here -- The President kept his word. His nominations, on current evidence, are better than any other President. Yes, he goofed on Miers -- but he corrected that error and it all worked out.
For YEARS, ever since Bork and Thomas were humiliated, we Conservatives waited and worked for victory. We reached 55 Senators and had the "nucular option" ready. We were all set to blow the 'Rats judicial obstruction to hell. I, like many Freepers, was on the Live Thread waiting for the moment when the 'Rats had to step aside or be blown to hell. Victory was at hand ...
... and then that grandstanding jackass whose bitterness at losing in 2000 ate away at him decided it was time to rain on our parade and form the infamous Gang of 14.
Freepers, isn't THAT the moment in the past two years when we threw away our victory? Isn't THAT when Republican turned against Republican and our unity died? Isn't that moment when our fate this Tuesday was sealed?
And WHO LED THIS???
MCCAIN!!!!
MCCAIN is the ULTIMATE RINO -- not because of his voting record, but because he stabbed the President, Bill Frist and all of us in the back!! It was horrible that the President and Frist caught flak from some conservatives on this when they were victims of McCain's Mutiny!!
AND NOW THAT DIRTY BACKSTABBING RINO WANTS TO BE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE IN 2008? HE DOESN'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO WAIT A FEW WEEKS AFTER TUESDAY??
Freepers, I urge all of you -- DO NOT SUPPORT THIS STINKING RINO!! He has wrecked our Party and should be shunned, not supported for President!!
The way I feel today, I might actually stay home if McCain faces Hillary -- because I can't support a candidate of our Party who turned on our Party like that.
MCCAIN, YOU DIRTY RAT!! YOU WILL NEVER GET OUR PARTY'S NOMINATION! DON'T GO AWAY MAD ... JUST GO AWAY!!!
I am voting for Newt, whether he runs or not. I will write his name in if I have to...
As for video: I canonly suggest his campaign website for commercials if youtube is out for you.
commie side AGAINST a conservative argument.
What has bothered me was spending like drunken sailors. From the highway Bill loaded with pork to the failure to deal with illegals. Add the likes of Bremer in Iraq, plus numerous other blunders. I shall always vote right, but; it is strange that I never get any reply to any email or letter sent to my Republican Senators. It appears to me that once elected, too many have no time to reply to those who elected them. I may be wrong. That has been my experience.
"The point is, not voting for and supporting the Rep Party is only making things WORSE for you, me and the rest of the country. And that's a FACT!
On a lighter note, let's try to get someone GOOD to run in '08. I'd love it if John Ensign would run for President. I'm sure there are others that would be good choices, as well. That way, no conservative will 'feel' like they have to aid and abet the leftist DemRats, eh?"
I agree with you. We need to start this and be real active during the primary. That is the best chance of getting the best conservative to run in the General election, which is the best option for this country also.
McCain has a lot more than the Gang of 14 to answer for. How 'bout campaign finance reform, that was his little project, also. McCain has thought about nothing but damaging the Bush administration and getting even since 2000. His little gang of 14 is built around a bunch of GOP misfits, including Lindsey Graham.
Don't worry. He'll blow up. He'll blow up real good.
Duh! I feel stupid. lol
Thanks for the suggestion. He has an intro video on the very first page.
Great post! So how come you didn't ping me? (:
A JOKE?... not in my book.. The democrats know a backstabbing traitor when they see one..
I know, my list was much too short when it comes to counting the ways he's hurt us.
He won't let the democrats do anything too insane. He can always use his veto if they go too nuts.
Oh crap.
I too, wrote my representative during the immigration talks & said basically the same thing. He never wrote me back.
Always in the past, when I've written him, I've always gotten back prompt, polite replies. This time was different.
"McCain did not lose this election. It is delusional to believe he did. The election was lost because the Independents and Moderates voted for the RATS. We ONLY win when they vote GOP. If we cannot counter the Treason media lies and distortions which cost the GOP their votes we cannot win.
It is a miracle that Republicans win any elections given the power the Treason Media has over the minds of voters. It is, and had been for a long time, our biggest enemy. That is the Party of Treason's biggest asset."
Regarding the media I agree with you, but a major reason that the media gets by with their propaganda is because of Republicans that will say anything to get face time. McCain is the worst about saying anything to get face time. That is also one of the reasons that he worked to prevent the nuclear option in the Senate.
Spot on...folks say that he has to much "baggage". Hannity said it today..."you mean that Hillary doesn't have any "baggage"? Newt and Sessions for me in 2008.
Most of Hillary's baggage is around her thighs.
The Libertarians gave Montana and Missouri to the Dims! The time for a protest vote is the primaries
As a 45 year Zonie, I have heard some ominous and wierd tales about McLame's time as a POW. I am absolutely convinced we don't lnow the real, true story of those days and subsequent possible coverups.
These stories go back to when he first ran for political office. There are those that know. I wonder if they will come forward?
And then, there are his psychological problems.....
I am afraid of this SOB.
