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.
Thank you for defending our Constitution.
Does that include those who voted Democrat?
And as long as we're at it, thank YOU for your self-righteous, pompous, superficial analysis of the election. While you're blaming people, you might try taking a look at some of the candidates. THEY were what conservative voters rejected.
And with arrogant claptrap like this bouncing around inside those empty RINO skulls, you'll likely see a repeat come Election 08.
This isn't the first time he's betrayed Republicans. I heard him do exactly the same thing a few years back - he preached about the importance of voting, the evil of liberals, and the like. The day before elections he started ranting about, "Nobody's any good, just don't vote. You can show 'em."
I haven't listened to him since.
You said what a lot of us have been wanting to.
To: new yorker 77
and I want to say EFF YOU since I didn't vote for any rinos

You can be sure that lots of RINOs didn't vote for conservatives, either. "'Republicans' for ___________ (add Dem name)" were out in full force in this election. They're usually good for at least a few full page ads for the RATs.
You can voice and vote your principles at the primary level. If your guy can't pull it off there, he probably can't pull a majority nationally either. Don't take your ball/vote and go home.
I can't stomach McCain, but if he wins the primaries I'll hold my nose and black in the circle next to his name to keep Hillary/Edwards/et al OUT!
Well, I voted and Peter King-R was re-elected. Got my parents to vote for him as well. Straight Republican-ticket.
Not Cool Man...
You don't get it.
We lost tpp many conservative seats in the House.
I know lots of conservatives. Overwhelmingly, they not only voted, they manned the phones, knocked on doors, contributed to candidates, etc. On the other hand, I know of lots of RINOs who whined and did everything they could to undercut our conservative candidates and help the Dems.
I don't have much use for those who continually try to blame conservatives for the problems in this country, instead of blaming those who deserve it: Liberals in both parties.
Beyond that, blaming the voters is kind of a losers game anyway.
In theory yes. Except in most cases when the party has chosen the candidate they want. Example Elizabeth Dole. And I wouldn't cast a vote for that woman if you paid me.
Don't take your ball/vote and go home.
Never have. I vote for the candidate who I believe will represent my views in Congress. In most cases, it is the Libertarian candidate or I write in someone. If I don't find an acceptable candidate in that race I don't vote in that race
I can't stomach McCain, but if he wins the primaries I'll hold my nose and black in the circle next to his name to keep Hillary/Edwards/et al OUT!
Yes because we all know the Framers intended for us to treat political debate like a team sport. And the main cause of voting was to keep the other candidate out. Yep, that's exactly how we were intended to vote. Rah, rah, our team!!!
Plenty of good conservatives lost in the election. The voters are to blame for that.
Can't get much simpler than that.
I expect we will be seeing some changes with Mitch McConnell and John Boehner. Those that criticize Boehner probably don't realize he helped Newt write the Contract with America and was hampered by Denny Hastert. I expect we will be seeing changes in the House as well. My Congressman was elected to head NRCC and you can take it to the bank, winning back the house just became more of a reality.
This from Rep John Boehner's background and why I expect him to be an effective leader much more so then Hastert:
During his tenure in the House, he has worked consistently to reform the federal government. His first two terms in the House were marked by an aggressive campaign to clean up Congress and make it more accountable to the American people. In fact, during his freshman year, Boehner and fellow members of the reform-minded "Gang of Seven" took on the House establishment and successfully closed the House Bank, uncovered "dine-and-dash" practices at the House Restaurant, and exposed drug sales and cozy cash-for-stamps deals at the House Post Office.
John was also active in education reform issues, despite serving in the minority at the time. In 1994, he passed legislation with strong bipartisan support allowing school districts to use their Title I funds for public school choice programs, under which parents could choose which public school their children would attend. Later, John was instrumental in crafting the Contract with America, the bold 100-day agenda for the 104th Congress that nationalized the 1994 elections. One of the Contract's cornerstones - the Congressional Accountability Act, requiring Congress to live under the same rules and regulations as the rest of the nation - bears the unmistakable imprint of his drive to reform the House.
You had your say after this disasterous election. Now, how does it differ from what Reagan would say?

Thank the corrupt and ineffective Republican leadership.
"The voters are to blame for that."
Oh well, time for some new voters, I guess. /sarc
