We have a key Senate race going on in NC. Elizabeth Dole is another Rino running in that election. I was ready to go all out to work for her election here....including making what for my hubby and me would be our largest political donation ever - because we feel so strongly about the damage that will be done to this nation if her rat opponent is elected. She is having a fundraiser later this month in Charlotte to which our President is coming.
Not only will I not contribute and won't attend, I will not work for her election in any way. Why should I? Why should I work to get elected another Republican who will be swayed to vote for more unconstitutional laws such as this one? She is already pro choice and anti-2nd amendment (which begs the question why I would support her anyway. THe answer is that I would support anyone over a Rat. However, not now. The Rats in OUR PARTY are as bad as the other RATS and our President and his advisors thinks he should not take a stand for an anti-constitutional, anti-American, anti-freedom bill that was passed by anti-Republicans pretending to be Republicans working in concert with HIllary CLinton's army!
Even if he does take the right stand and veto this bill - which the Rats want him to do - they have the votes to overturn his veto. They know they do. Why? Because THEY LIE, CHEAT, USE EXTORTION, BLACKMAIL, AND BRIBERY to get their way and nobody lifts a finger to stop them.
So, by supporting Elizabeth Dole I am simply going to help put one more person in there voting against my interests.
Why would I do that?
This vote by members of the Republican party who, in my opinion, should be put out of the party but who are more welcome in my party than I am - as a Conservative Christian - just seals my decision.
No more fight left. Not for these traitors.
They need 2/3 to over ride his veto. They don't have it.
PS: I'd be surprised if she gets any NRA endorsement his year.
Trust me, you are not alone.
I was a card carrying, volunteer working, involved member of the G.O.P. for 32 years. When Trent Lott made the decision to have a dog and pony show instead of a real Impeachment Trial just to placate Daschle, I shortly there after re-registered with "Party Affiliation - NONE". I continued to support GOP candidates with my vote and financial support in this last election cycle for Keyes first in the primary and then GW in the general. But I did so as a little "r" republican and not as a "R" Republican.
I live in South Dakota and there is no stronger an Anti-DemocRAT than I. I have been supporting John Thune's bid for the Senate to 1) unseat Tim Johnson (D) but more importantly 2) set up 2004 to rid ourselves of Tom Daschle. I had even gone to the point of soliciting clients of mine from outside of SD, whom I knew from association over time, were like minded conservative/traditionally valued Americans, to offer financial support to Mr. Thune.
John Thune voted for CFR. I feel as you, the fight is gone and no longer will I battle for those who won't at the minimum work to insure that my right to do so isn't taken from me.
"No more fight left. Not for these traitors." Says it all.
