I want to Thank all "Conservative" Non-Voters

[new yorker 77]

Thank you for giving us blanket amnesty for illegals.

Thank you for courageously abandoning our troops.

Thank you for handing victory to the terrorists.

Thank you for guaranteeing higher taxes.

Thank you for guaranteeing no more conservative judges.

Thank you for empowering John McCain.

Thank you for bringing back universal health care.

Thank you for endless investigations.

Most of all, I want to thank you for showing complete disregard for the tens of thousands who spilled their blood to give you your right to vote.

Your callous, self-serving apathy has guaranteed the government actions that you so bitterly complained about.

---

A final reality check to all you non-voters who still call your self conservative:

You are not a conservative.
You define un-American.
You define un-patriotic.
Please stop pretending to care about the troops.

To all you people who actually voted.

Thank you for defending our Constitution.

Your Welcome :)

Thank you for giving us blanket amnesty for illegals.

That is an "interesting opportunity" to GWB.

Well see, now that they're the ones in majority, they do want co-operation so they can get their bills passed and take all the credit for it. I had to laugh when I heard Reid talking about putting politics aside, yeah, this from people who accused the president of lying so he can take us to war. I don't buy that they're interested in playing nice.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Brilliant, ain't it?

[alicewonders]

It is the GOP that let everyone down, not some mythical block of "conservative non-voters"

I agree with you. I'm sad we lost the election, but you're right - it's the GOP that left the voters - not the other way around. I held my nose & voted straight GOP, but I wasn't happy about it. I've felt for some time that no one was listening to me.

Here, in this forum, we are more dedicated to the cause than your average American voter. Most people just won't bother to vote if the candidates don't light a spark with them. You can blame them if you want, but I don't think it's their fault.

Even after the loss, I find myself wondering if they are listening now - or if they are still taking my vote for granted.

...but there's no way I could have brought myself to vote for Mike Fitzpatrick if he had been in my district. The man bailed on the war, distanced himself from the President and touted his Sierra Club endorsements endlessly in the final weeks of the campaign. The guy deserved to lose...plus he had such a hopeless, hangdog look about him, even in his commercials, that he looked as though he had already been beaten weeks before the first votes were cast - it's amazing he came as close as he did to winning......

I held my nose and voted "R".

Many of my fellow citizens voted "D" and gave control of the Senate and
House to the Democrats.
They voted for illegals and against the enforcement of laws on the books.

Open-borders and open-ended Amnesty will be law next year.

I'll just have to get used to it.
They like the idea of the USA being a "Sanctuary Country" for everyone
for any reason.

All I can do now is think of something that Winston Churchill said
after voters in the UK realized they'd made a horrid error...
"The more they thought of it, the less they thought of it."

I just hope they realize this before election day 2008.

The only offices I didn't vote for Republicans this time, were the ones that had no Republicans running.

And THOSE got write-ins for Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. . .

[Blake#1]

You hit the nail on the head! IMHO it was the national talk radio show by A--H--- Savage that got these voters confused. They voted against their own best interest. As for Savage his best interest is his ego.

[CindyDawg]

Well,it really makes me want to go out and vote straight Republican again. I'm not so sure conservatives even lost. No one seems interested in looking into matters though. Everyone, just blame these non-voters that no one seems to know and move along.

[politicket]

The GOP simply moved away from the ones that brought them to the dance, no more, no less.

The true God-fearing Republicans won for the most part. The limp-spined whiny ones lost.

Blame the GOP and its leadership for their stupidity, not some "unnamed" voter.

[Howlin]

Bump!

[Tall_Texan]

I voted - and I voted for almost every Republican on the ballot. Some won. Some lost.

Still, I can understand those who felt no enthusiasm for voting for a party that spent like drunken sailors and practically enjoyed shooting themselves in the foot at every turn, including three sure House seats HANDED to the Democrats because candidates on the ballot chose to drop out and leave their constuencies with no hope of keeping the seat in Republican hands.

The Republican Party has become a coward party that won't choose to fight for itself. Who, besides Lynne Cheney, fought back against all the lies and deception of the Democrats and their lapdog media during the election? I didn't see any.

Replace the GOP with some real men and you'll get the voters to come back. The cowardly bunch of crooks in Washington now just turn my stomach. A major overhaul is needed, not just minor tweaking.

[Thunder90]

One more thing..

Thank you for making us give up our Second Amendment rights.

[JayVan]

I'm so sick and tired of people blaming the voters for the GOP's loss. The GOP leadership has been garbage for far too long. And when you have a man in the white house who wants amnestly, that doesn't help the party.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I was just waiting for him to come right out and apologize for being a member of the GOP.

What a sad sack candidate he was.

Yet, according to the win-at-all costs Pragmatics, anyone who failed to vote for that unprincipled stiff should be ashamed of themselves.

They act like this is a football game. "Just win baby!"

They're getting on my last nerve.

[Paige]

OH I agree with you 100% .... I find this totally disgusting.

[pcx99]

Thank you for giving us blanket amnesty for illegals.

• Happened for 6 years with the repubs (re unfunded fences, but we can fund a bridge to nowhere) -- nothing new here

  Thank you for courageously abandoning our troops.

• Pretty sure a "republican" is still commander in chief.

  Thank you for handing victory to the terrorists.

• Pretty sure things are the same now as before the election -- SNAFU.

  Thank you for guaranteeing higher taxes.

• Split house/senate, veto.

  Thank you for guaranteeing no more conservative judges.

• Pretty sure President Bush nominates the judges, sure the dems can stall and delay but over the course of two years they'll have to approve a few.

  Thank you for empowering John McCain.

• yawn.

  Thank you for bringing back universal health care.

• Veto.

  Thank you for endless investigations.

• Needed.

  Now my list...

• Thank you for putting an end to the endless infrignements of our rights. Habius Corpus survived for 200 years through the revolutionary war, the civil war, world war 2, the cold war, but thanks to one towel head, hiding in a cave a fundamental right this country has respected is tossed out the window.

• Thank you for putting an end to the endless domestic spying. Requesting phone records is bad enough but black boxes to sniff all domestic internet activity? Come back in two years after you've had time to actually think on that.

• Six years of budget busting irresponsibility. Sure we gave them a pass after 9/11 but 2 years passed, then 4, then 6 and we're still building bridges to nowhere.

  Rush is absolutely right. We had absolutely no obligation to carry the water for people who don't deserve it. Let the republicans wander in the wilderness for two years. When they return maybe they'll realize who they work for (IE not the NSA, not the lobbyists).

With a billing as a New Yorker you're throwing stones at somebody else's glass house..

But at least you're not from Massachusetts...

[DakotaRed]

I originally put this up back in September. Too bad more didn't pay heed. They have yet to wake up and see just what the real harm in their "spanking" the RNC did. Their time of realization has yet to come, but when it does, they too will cry My God, What Have I Done?
