It's just that I'm always hearing that many of the key folks in Republican circles can't wait for the day they can do without our vote... I guess I'm really more concerned about getting bit by the dog that I'm feeding.And you hear that where? Which key Republicans feel that way? Name names, if you have them. Don't just throw around idle suspicians.
I am very active in Republican circles, and I can assure you that no one I know feels that way. Some folks may disagree with me on how taxes should be used -- Republicans represent a spectrum, after all -- not Johnny one note. But on core issues, we are pretty much down the line.
And if your accusations are true? What then? You are afraid that you are gong to be bit by the dog you are feeding? That's just dumb. What do ou think will happen if you give your vote to the other party -- or stay home, which is the same thing? You'd better believe that the other Party's teeth are longer and sharper.
The leader of the RNC Mark Racicot sp? for one. It was some time back when he was being critical of Christian conservatives who were ticked about his meeting with the Log Cabin Republicans. I'd say being a leader of the Republican National Committee makes you an influential person.
If my memory is serving me correctly Ed Gillespie (I think that was his name) made remarks about social conservatives up in the state of New Hampshire. It was along the lines of soon there votes won't be needed.
Both of the news articles were posted on FR and that's where I first heard about such murmurings within the Republican party.
I'm trying to have an honest discussion about this matter. Why did you feel the need to say that my thoughts are "just dumb". Let's have some reasonable discourse. I'm on FR in an attempt to be a more informed voter not to get into flame wars.
