But here’s the real problem. Real conservatives voting for people like Ford, the first Bush, Dole, the second Bush, ‘cause that’s all we had to vote for and that just gives the “blue bloods” more power. We should stand up and say “Nominate a RINO and we’re going somewhere else.”
Good idea except when the rats run the most liberal guy in the senate whose citizenship is in question.
I so agree with that, but thinking of Bambi signing all the democrat garbage has me thinking about it differently. I was not going to vote for mccain.
I am voting for Sarah.
There are a few of us here that have been saying this for months. We are not real popular around here. Apparently we are irrelevant whiners, losers or worse.
There are so many here that exclaim that the republican leaders need to 'grow a spine' or 'grow a set of brass ones'. Well, as long as the voters have no spine or ba!!s, there is no need for our leaders to grow them either.
We are not going to get better results until we demand better. This continuous cycle of choosing the lesser of two evils and hoping for better down the road is exactly what got us to where we are today.
“Nominate a RINO and we’re going somewhere else.”
Several notable people have advocated that very thing. But, few have been able to maintain that attitude. Obama is so abominable that people have chosen to vote for McPain(in-the-a$$) no matter how long his long list of sins against conservatives.
My personal jury is still out. I do not know if I can pull the trigger for that SOB. When he needs to make a conservative stand, he poops out and tries to out progress the progressives.
I agree - spot on! That brings up the [flame attracting] "Third Party" subject. Democrats, Republicans & Conservatives [Constitution-Conservative Party? Reagan Conservative Party? Heritage-Conservattive Party?]
We have "Conservatives". They are few in numbers in the Senate and more in the House (just because of the numbers factor).
Senator Jim DeMint is one and john Thune is another. Ex-Senators Rick Santorum, George Allen and Fred Thompson. Senate-hopefuls were/are Pat Toomey, Katherine Harris, and Michael Steele are a few other names.
There are the House Republicans that stayed in the House with lights and cameras out for the energy bill up/down vote and then recently the NO-HELL NO on the bailout. Those that caved like Eric Cantor and others: out...
Now, we all like the Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo and those of this character and caliber...
The question now is: How do "Conservatives" get the "true conservatives" to leave the "Moderate Republican Party" the "Centrist Republican Party" the "Country Club Blue Blood RINO Party" and join the "Conservative Party" that we so desperately need to overtake the other two? Plus, if race comes into it, then we need 'people of color' that fit the above description. [J. C. Watts/Michael Steele types].
I know it may be wishful thinking, but as Reagan said "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, it left me". True Conservatives no longer have the Democratic or Republican Party. Therefore, prehaps there must be a new and seperate Conservative Party for us Conservatives. The reason is, "a house dived against itself cannot stand." The Republican Party cannot be of any use if it's both liberal and conservative! One cancels out the other. Remember the Republican majority in both houses? RINOS [moderates/centrists] like John Warner, Lincoln Chafee, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Arlen Specter, Jim Jeffords, Voinovich, Lott, Hagel and others were what kept the good judges from being voted up or down; good bills and legislation on energy, ethics, etc. sent over from the House to be killed. It was NEVER a true "Conservative" majority in the Senate...but barely was slightly more in the House.
