I'm running into alleged Conservatives bragging about putting Democrats in power because they didn't take a "pledge"? For some reason this is humorous to them or a game but this is far from a game and this is a very serious matter.

They're not really like us, Paige; they're here simply to disrupt.

RINOs bawling like the left. Who would have thunk. You only have power if you have the guts to use it. The GOP has no guts.

No, the main problem with the gutless is that they continuously refer to the nasties as "our friends from across the aisle". The nasties are not the gutless' friends but their ENEMIES.

I find the gutless more despicable than the nasties - at least the nasties do what they're trained to do: shit on the gutless.

Agreed, again. And I'd still slap them.

First of all, the term "pledge taker" is rather ignorant.

You don't know about the Pledge and you accuse me of ignorance? Try keeping up. Here are the ones I could quickly find.

Sign the Pledge! No Support for Republicans who vote with Democrats against Iraq Mission
Has Everyone Signed The PLedge (Vanity)
Take The Pledge: How Victory Trumps Party
Please sign the NRSC Pledge
Take The Pledge
Take The Pledge
The pledge, the fight, the poll and the pessimist
The Pledge

Do you know since you seem to be one of the ones that stayed home since you did not take "the pledge."

A) I didn't stay home, it's the Pledge People who seem to be intent on it. You might reserve your ire for them.

B) Try writing English. That "sentence" isn't.

OK, I shall type this slowly for you to hopefully grasp. In order for me to support someone, I do not take a pledge for anyone or anybody.

The only thing I pledge myself too is knowing that I am a Christian and that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.

If you believe you must take a pledge then that is your problem. Or does the word "Pledge" bother you because you may have to take a stand? If so, then you may be a Liberal.

"No, we're blaming YOU all who didn't support the GOP and turned this country over to this pack of socialist liars."

No, I'm blaming you personally Howlin for supporting country club RINOS who have split the party. The conservatives I know all voted. It's just that the big spender Repubs like the president gave the middle of America nothing to vote for.

What you are really telling us is the president is so weak in his conservative beliefs that he has to find scapegoats for his inability to convince anyone to vote Republican.

The buck stops at the president's desk, deal with it.

President Bush is not running in 2008, in case you haven't noticed.

And the people who split this party are the same fools that blackmail the GOP with their vote election after election.

Hopefully the GOP got the hint this time and will leave them behind.

Too little too late. The GOP leadership should have gotten a clue in 2004 when they started ignoring the base and abandoning the President, allowing the Democrats to threaten the filibuster of judicial nominees, all which in turn ticked off the base and shut off the donations to the GOP coffers, and the GOP chair wonders why they didn't have a groundswell of grassroots supporters in 2006. The "morale" tank was down to zero.

It is a serious matter when there are lives at stake.

feel the burn Boehner... feel the burn.

That's what you get for abandoning conservative principles... now go find some candidates with CONSERVATIVE backbone and maybe you and your crew could regain the keys to the executive suite.
