The most important thing about being a "conservative" is having something left to conserve.

Then why are you so willing to vote for Republican candidates who have done nothing in their time in Washington but kill conservatism, and will, if reelected, continue down that path? Sorry, I can't buy the snake oil you're selling, and neither will most Freepers.

Those traitors need to be fired. Long term strategy. Long term.

I never said you did. Whole world ain't about you.

I was pointing out to you that conservatives have been attacked here on FR, with the 'blood on their hands' thing. And were told to vote for the republican liberal.

I wasn't saying you did it.

I'm not. But you should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time...that is:

Get the majority when possible AND eject the RINOs where possible, and replace them WITH CONSERVATIVES.

You have only one voter base ready willing and able to do that.

Those traitors need to be fired. Long term strategy.

Yes, they do...and I would hope to hell it could be done in a much shorter period of time than it takes us to be relegated to a third world status.

You are not going to be able to get openly Rock-Ribbed Conservative Senators elected from every state.

Additionally, one of your principle stumbling blocks in any state, is "open primaries" where the opposition party and unenrolleds can dilute support for your conservative candidate, resulting in his defeat.

That only gets fixed state-by-state.

Even in the general election. Good call. They need to be fired whenever.

Amnesty is a complicated issue. I like how Singapore handles immigratns. Border Security is a straight forward issue.
If my fading memory is correct, Romney said he would secure the border, build a fence and control people overstaying their temporary visa.

I was on a vacation to SE Asia earlier this year. I visited Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and Singapore. Observing Singapore blew my mind away. Singapore has the most concentration of millionaires in the world! More than USA, Switzerland, Oil rich middle-east countries! Every 6th Singapore citizen is a millionaire. People from all over Asia are desperate to immigrate to Singapore. Yet there are NO illegals in Singapore! There are NO food stamps in Singapore. There is no unemployment compensation program in Singapore! Actually there is no welfare for able bodied people of working age!

Singapore spends all the money saved on welfare on infrastructure. Their airport makes any American airport feel like a 3rd world airport. The underground highway from the world class cruise terminal to airport is ultra modern. Many miles long, it is brightly lighted and beautiful. Public transportation and roads are world class. You do not even see any graffiti or liter anywhere in Singapore!

Which may be the reason Singapore got so rich! There are 40% more jobs in Singapore than there are working age citizens! Singapore gives out 2 year work permits to foreign workers. At the end of 2 years the worker must return to home country and re-apply. No one dares to break the rules because the work-permits are so valuable to the workers. If you break the rules, you are immediately arrested & deported, never allowed to return.

Relax. We're already 3rd world status according to some liberal republicans, frantic on making the sale.

It's ok to take our time and politically destroy all liberal republicans.

Only for liberal republicans, trying to snow someone into voting (R), because it's a better liberal.

Amnesty is easy.

Don't do it.

Romney lied through his teeth.

He came out recently and flip-flopped, yet again, and said that the republicans need to get amnesty done.

That's what liberals, working for a liberal agenda do.

Do you two know why the US economy, and the US government hasn’t already collapsed?

Do tell us, all all-knowing maha ROCKLOBSTER! We’re sitting with bated breath awaiting your ultimate wisdom which will open our eyes and make us rush to the polling place in November and pull the lever for the statist Republicans!

Because of liberals running printing presses, and propping up an already dead economy with massive inflation that gets ignored/downplayed and sucked up in the overvalued stock market.

No no no...I’m asking a perfectly good honest and important question of you two Einsteins.

Why are we still able to tread water, nose barely above the surface.

And I mean besides the Grace of God, or that our Chinese debtors are a nice generous loving people.

Hold on...I'm in Northern Virginia, and the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing is right across the Potomac. Say, is that Mitch McConnell yukking it up with Harry Reid as the worthless dollar bills fly off the printing press?

I've got it!

Because McConnell provided the critical cloture vote Reid needed to REMOVE the debt limit completely!

Yeah, but McConnell deserves another 6 years in the Senate. [rolls eyes]

I'm guessing that we're not going to get the life-changing epiphany what with our unrepentant independence, and basically ungovernable attitudes.

Awww.
