The Republican party is lying to you. What part of that do you not understand?

You've really gone overboard on aiming solely at the GOP instead of taking even 10% of your shots at Democrats.

I didn't realize we had to meet some quota when it came to the despicable things the Democrats do. Pray tell, what percentage of my posts have to restate the obvious here about Democrats? 25%? 50%? 95%? Please let me know. And for the record, I do slam Democrats here.

The issue I was addressing here, is the Republican claim that they have about $1.3 trillion in savings they could implement right now. That's the same party whose members keep devising their own multi-trillion dollar spending plans. Remember TARP? Remember the additional $300 billion Bush set up for Obama during his last days in office? That's just short of $1.3 trillion right there.

When the health care bill was being debated, most of the criticism by our party leaders was based on the idea their plans to do it more reasonably were ignored. What's reasoned about doing something that isn't Constitutional no matter whose plan you use?

Are you under the impression that I am attacking Leftist leanings in our own party, because I only support the Democrats doing it?

Since you don't seem to understand, I will assure you I am not happy about Leftist policy in either party. Since there is only one that professes to speak for me, I will tend to focuse on it so that people will hold it's official's feet to the fire. Otherwise we wind up with more Leftists in positions of power within our own ranks.

You seem to think I need to state I don't like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank. Kennedy, Kerry, et all. Is that true? You don't know that I disapprove of close to 100% of what they are involved in?

Let's just review who our niminee was in 2008. Should I have been happy about that? Should I have spent all my time railing on Obama, considering the down-side we faced with John?

What about the not an amnesty bill that John joined Ted Kennedy to push? Should I have remained silent about that?

When Michael Steele stated that those who were criticizing him were doing it because they were racists, did that seem like it was something I should be endorsing?

What about Medicare Part D, the multi-trillion Great Society level program Bush promoted? Do I have to remiain silent on that if I don't agree.

What about those endorsing John McCain now over a man with a 97.6% approval rating from the American Conservative Union? Do I need to refrain from addressing that?

When a prominent Republican comes out in support of the LOST Treaty, am I supposed to click my heels and salute?

Like many Republicans, I have come to the point I will only vote for solid candidates. And these days, that doesn't leave me much to champion from either party.

You and I have been around a long time. Well, long enough for you to know what my intentions are, that's for sure.

Do you want that to continue? That sounds an awful lot like a threat. Are you threatening me?

I’m threatening our relationship, not you. And here’s why: I’m tired of your non-stop GOP-bashing.

I have no problem with the occasional complaint, but you complain non-stop about the GOP, and after a while it gets old.

The GOP isn’t in power today. You’re out there wailing away against a Party that has near-zero control at the moment.

Yeah, you’re pissed. I get that. anyone who has read your endless anti-GOP rants gets it.

You don’t stop. You keep repeating your complaints over and over. It’s obsessive.

If you can’t change, then one of us, me or you, needs to leave this forum.

So this brings us back to my post to you. Do you *want* to engage in dialog with long-term posters such as myself, or do you just want to rant on and on to anyone who has the misfortune of reading your 100% anti-GOP posts?

I have no need of hearing endless complaints.

On the other hand, I do respect long-term posters here, and I am very interested in people who can suggest solutions and then campaign for the implementation of solutions.

If you are willing to be more positive in getting across your solutions, then I want to read more of your posts.

Otherwise, Free Republic needs an “Ignore Poster” option for one of us to use on the other, or perhaps both.
