Paybacks can be a bitch. Be careful in your choices, they can have repercussions later. Prepare the articles of impeachment.
Why don’t you ask your stupid question to someone else? The election is not here yet. We still have the right to not like any of the choices. The FR is still a place where we can express our distaste of McCain with good reason. Many of us have to really talk ourselves into voting for this jerk. Your ignorant question does not change the truth of the American voters worse choices in history on both sides. It is not conservative philosophy to elect a Communist. That has never been true. Your statement within a question is false. Your pedantic attempt at my position is worthless at best.
>I have been making the point for weeks that conservatives are to the republican party what blacks are to the democrats.
We are on the same page.
>I wonder which will wake up first?
Us.
That also.
The Title of this article suits me just fine.
My fed return came through this morning, and my very first thought was "I know what I'm NOT using this for!!!"
I actually got a fundraising call from the RNC last night. Gave the young lady and earful. I told her that until Republicans started acting like Republicans again that they’d get nothing else from me.
She tried to tell me “but we’re trying to change that perception.”
I said “SHOW me the change. Then call me back.”
Conservatism will stand out in contrast instead of socialism under the cover of conservatism destroying the unique characteristics of conservatism.
no, Voters to Conservatives: ‘Drop Dead’
"Unfortunately, the message I’m getting from the Republican establishment is that conservatives should bite their tongues, do their duty, and await the crumbs that may come their way in a McCain administration. Is that what it’s come to? Party loyalty before principle?"
The author makes many good points, primarily party loyalty before principle. Understandably, the ruling GOP wants Americans to choose its liberal but slightly less liberal the other party McCain instead of the extreme left Hillary or Obama. But a vote for this newest version of McCain is a vote for positions I vehemently disagree with and that he might be better fighting the war on terror is not reason enough to ignore that fact.
Sums it up, doesn't it? I predict Obama gets in, gets bupkis done, and is out in four years. Hopefully he doesn't do too much damage.
This is exactly right: we don’t have the rank-and-file votes and apparently never did. It’s not really the elites doing this but the simple and uninformed registered Republican voters. I think they are more liberal than even they thought themselves to be.
Catchy. But I think it's religious conservatives they view that way. Because the Religious Right will keep on being ridiculous in their backing of someone just because he's a Christian. Did we learn nothing from Jimmy Carter?
I was talking with a democrat the other day. She calls the Republican party the “fear” party.
The band can play on and the wagon can leave the station without me. Can't imagine anything that will cause me to support McCain and, make no mistake, a vote is indicative of support.
If McCain picks a true conservative VP, I will vote the Republican ticket in the hope that McCain will have a physical or mental breakdown shortly after taking office. Other than that, I will not vote for McCain as I despise him politically and personally. That being said, it makes little difference because McCain is going to suffer an embarrassing defeat in November.
You are woefully ignorant if you think the dems are planning for 4 years.
The minute they get control of all three branches of govt, they are going to fix the process so that they never lose power.
They will get the masses so high on govt that people are not going turn them out.
This “Elect another Carter to get another Reagan” is a utter fantasy.
The party elites think they can engineer and market an election victory. Part of their strategy is to convince the base that the primary winner, who received a lot of independent support against Ron Paul and Mitt (If he’d used his real first name, people might have trusted him more) Romney would keep that support in the general, and the conservative base would have nowhere else to go.
They forgot, home is where you go where they have to take you in. We’ll stay there.
