HOLD YOUR NOSE AND VOTE syndrome

Hold your nose and vote syndrome

In 1992, Republicans got a good look at an obscure governor from Arkansas and decided that even though they didn't want George Bush Sr. – champion of a new world order –
no way did they want another Roosevelt liberal in the White House.
Their option became "hold your nose and vote" because the elitist power brokers behind the scenes made certain Bush Sr. would be their standard bearer in that election.
There was no choice for those of us seeking a pro-Constitution, "America first" president.

In 1996, the Grand Old Party decided that out of all the qualified, talented men in our country who could be president
of these united States of America, they offered up Bob Dole – a sure loser.
Once again, the party faithful were dismayed at the choice.
But, off to the polls they went, holding their noses while they voted.
Whether it was enough nor not, we will never know – not with electronic ballot machines running the show.
Once again, America got Bill Clinton, the man who sold our national security secrets to the Communist Chinese and dirtied the White House with his sexcapades.

In 2000, the rallying cry was "Anyone but Gore." And, who did the power brokers behind the scenes offer up to the GOP faithful?
Why, the son of new world order scion George Bush Sr. Millions of Republicans didn't want the junior Bush,
but no way would they vote for Al Gore, his ultra-liberal beliefs and a continuation of the Clinton agenda.
Hold your nose and vote once again became their only option on Election Day.

In each of these elections, Republicans were actually voting against the other candidate, just as they will do on Nov. 2, 2004.
It will be the same for Democrats who would never vote for a Republican, heaven forbid!
While many Democrats have stated they don't want this old reprobate and his smarmy running mate, they will hold their nose and vote for these two Johns anyway.
In other words, they will vote against Bush.
Classic Sun Tzu and the herding technique.

The question begs:
How could any true Christian, much less a Catholic, ever vote for a pusillanimous huckster like John Kerry
who supports the murder of unborn babies and the homosexual culture of death?
How can any Christian vote for a pro homosexual, pro-abortion politician
in exchange for "protecting social security," the illusion of creating more jobs,
more money for the unconstitutional federal Department of Education or more affordable health care?
How cheap the defenseless unborn have become in this country.

There are those who will say you have to compromise.
I am reminded of the scene in "Braveheart" when William Wallace has an exchange with the Princess of Wales
where she tells Wallace you have to compromise.
Wallace fires back quite passionately, "It's how slaves are made!"
At what point does one stop compromising away their principles and beliefs
in exchange for empty promises made by empty suits out of blind loyalty to a political party?

Why do Americans keep doing the same thing over and over every four years?
There are options.
Yet, Republicans seem unwilling to walk away from a party whose agenda no longer represents a conservative foundation and pays lip service to the Constitution.
Those who fought a war against a king for our freedom would never have chosen this path:
If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom,
go home from us in peace.
We seek not your counsel, nor your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you.
May your chains set lightly upon you;
and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

– Samuel Adams

GOP faithful say that a third party can't win.
Why is that?
A political party grows and becomes competitive when individuals join that party.
A one-time protest vote while holding your nose will never bring the kind of change we need to save this country from what's just over the horizon.
There are four years between presidential elections.
That's four years for Americans to search their hearts and decide once and for all that
if their political party no longer represents the best interests of America, then it's time to walk away,
register with another and build it into a viable competitor for its candidates.

Parties come and go,
but the absolute one thing that should be a constant is
those serving in public office must be uncompromising individuals who will stay true to constitutional principles.

For almost 100 years, beginning when Wilson was put into the White House, America has been held hostage
by outside interests who control our political and monetary systems.
How many more elections will Americans go to the polls to vote against the other candidate while holding their noses?
How much longer will this insanity continue?
The destiny of our beloved republic lies in your hands and what you do over the next few years.
Are you up to the task?

It's time that the moderates (RINOs) hold their nose and vote for a conservative.
We conservatives don't trust the establishment Republ;icans any more. So we won't.
If you believe in hold your nose and vote, then you RINOs go ahead and do it.
We won't.

If you believe in hold your nose and vote, then you RINOs go ahead and do it.

We won't.

I can't hold my nose tight enough to vote for a pro-ILLEGAL piece of trash liberal like Ricardo Perry.

[Yosemitest]

I WON'T.

What a choice!!!

Socialist R, or Socialist D.

I have been saying for a while that the rest of the right can vote with (and for) Conservatives--why would they do otherwise? I'm done with being thrown under the bus.

It's the whole "electable" anybody but the opponent mentality (panic!) that keeps the herd steered into rocky pastures instead of good grazing.

[itsahoot]

I could have said that, just not as well. Interestingly I just watched Braveheart a couple nights ago. Politicians seem to always be the same, willingly sell their soul for a share of the kingdom.

[barstoolblues]

What a bunch nonsense. Its this kind undermining of the candidate that gave us Clinton in the first place.
George H.W. Bush wasn’t that terrible. But you IDIOTS kept running him down because he wasn’t plu-perfect and you had a coniption fit because he uttered the phrase “new world order”, then out crawled Buchannan’s loser a** who opened the door for Perot with the result being that you, yes you, gave us eight years of someone who never seen the light of day in the White House, and broad who we’ll never get rid of.
Thats great you bunch of (insert name calling here).

Look what you gave us. Its even worse now.

I’m aware of the Bush’s shortcomings. If you want a perfect candidate then you run.

[paudio]

Now I got confused. I always thought that Bush Sr lost his re-election in 1992 because conservatives stayed at home after he violated his ‘read my lips’ vow. Now you said conservatives actually held their nose and voted for him?

[napscoordinator]

Thank you.....so accurate. I am sick and tired of voting for RINOS and FREEPERS seem to love it. It is so odd. Conservatives wanting Perry is sick!!!! I just don’t understand it one bit.

[Yosemitest]

George H.W. Bush broke his promise on taxes.
He was NO conservative, plain and simple.
Had he continued Ronald Reagan's policies, he might have had a second term.
But no, he had to give in to the establishment Republican wishes.
So the voters said, to hell with him.

[Hugin]

Sorry, like ‘em or not, those candidates weren’t foisted on us by party elders. They were voted in by a majority of Republican voters. And two out of three of them did get elected at least once, so it’s not like Bushes 41 and 43 were terrible candidates. And all things taken together they are both good men, and were pretty good presidents. Not on everything, but most things.

As for Dole, good man, terrible candidate, but the voters picked him. As they say, there’s the Stupid Party and the Dangerous Party, and I belong to the Stupid Party.

[napscoordinator]

Let me guess. You are a Perry supporter. You can spot you guys easily. You can vote for who you want but don’t guilt us into going against our principles. I would rather go to Heaven by doing the right thing than Hell because of a vote....won’t happen anymore. I am sick of going to confession for voting for a guy who is not a conservative. Won’t happen again. Why not support a REAL conservative and then you won’t need to cry about your little RINO losing.

[Yosemitest]

No, I didn’t say that. The writer of the article said that.

IBTZ. Nice try, troll. Now get back under your bridge.

Yes, it is. To vote for a liberal like Ricardo Perry would be tantamount to saying that we think conservatism is not worth defending. Well I think it is and he will not get my vote.

Conservatives wanting Perry is sick!!!! I just don’t understand it one bit.

Conservatives don't want Perry. Many of these Perry supporters signed on for the first time after the Giuliani purge of 2007. So it's not surprising they think Rudy would make a great VP for Perry. So don't let them fool you; they are promoting a liberal like Perry because many are liberals themselves. Just look at what they defend...

Instate tuition for ILLEGAL aliens
Opposition to Arizona's SB-1070
Opposition to a border fence
Amnesty for ILLEGAL aliens
And the list goes on.

Good call.

I think Clarity is one of them. The one is a zealot Perry lover. I never saw this person on any other thread ever.....probably just waiting to screw up the conservative presidential nomination primary. Dangerous person, this one. Bullies other posters all day long.

[tgusa]

They will be getting thicker as the primaries approach. Stand by for boring lectures about the importance of supporting The Stoopid Party at all costs.

[paudio]

Alas, your post #10 says basically the same.

Wow, the kid had an opinion of his own, not as narrow and radical as yours.......But give it time, maybe you will start showing adult maturity and mutual respect some time soon.
