Thanks for the post. You will be affected in Australia as well if we have enough people wanting to teach lessons in November.

The thing that annoys me most about conservatives deciding not to vote in order to "punish" Republicans for not being conservative enough, is the delusional idea that, after they stay home and the Democrats kick ass in the election, the remaining Pubs will sit there and think, "Wow, we need to move farther to the right". They're going to think, "Wow, we need to move farther to the left", -duh-.

You can be 100% sure that if the Republicans lose in November, the media will take it as a massive repudiation of conservative princleples. Don't be stupid enough to let that happen. If you are trying to send a message that the Republicans are not conservative enough, your message will be completely missed. The only message you will be sending is that you are not too bright.

Ignore your heartfelt peevements, use your brains and vote.

Ah yes, more of the 'Let us ignore the fact that the Republican Party has miserably failed on key issues (protecting the borders, tax reform, repeal of countless illegal gun laws...) and we should vote for them anyway, because Democrats are evil' rhetoric.

IMO, the Republicans need to be brought down a notch or two, to remind them who they work for.

And before someone replies to this with 'The Democrats thank you for your vote', or 'Go back to the DU where you belong', or something along those lines...save it.

That is the voter I am. I am not happy, but I am still going to vote Republican. Times are too dangerous to let the Dems in power.

I will be the first in line on Election Day. Perhaps I may vote early?

The GOP voters are about to shoot themselves in the foot once again. This time, they will take deadly aim.

Calling voters stupid is stupid, Blankley.

Having said that, I hope conservatives get their tails out to vote.

They'd be even more stupid to vote Democratic.

Completed my mail-in ballot last night and will send it out with today's mail. Voted "No" on all propositions except "Property tax limits." Straight Republican ticket on all elected officials. The social engineers are slavering for a whack at us. If you're a conservative and can't stand a single Republican on the ballot, you still may find yourself wanting to stop the socialist expropriation contained in the initiatives.

Blacks support school choice. Blacks also support Democrats, uncritically. And the Democrats, feeling the need to placate the education establishment, oppose school choice -- and safely ignore their Black supporters.

This is what will happen to conservatives if we don't administer a 'short sharp shock' to the Republicans. The stupid members of 'the stupid party' are the ones who are letting themselves be frightened into line with 'The Ogress Pelosi'.

Isn't it a terrible thing to vote for the lesser of two evils rather than vote for an institution that represents your beliefs?

No matter which party you vote for, once in office, they will do what they what they want to do after each election, regardless as to what lies they presented prior to election.

What it comes down to is that no party represents their constituents and no party is held responsible for their election promises.

Each year, it gets worse and worse. Each year we lose more and more freedoms and rights under the original (dead...not living) Constitution.

Each election cycle both party's have come to expect the voters to vote "straight line" for no other reason than to prevent the other party from coming into power...not for the issues in hand.

It's a sad state of affairs and it will not be changed unless we either completely clean house within the party or invoke term limits.

RIVERSIDE'S TERROR RALLY
By CHARLES E.F. MILLARD, NY POST

October 18, 2006 -- IN the uproar over Monday's outrageously soft sentence for terror-aiding lawyer Lynne Stewart, Riverside Church seems to be distancing itself from the despicable rally it hosted in her support Sunday....

The left in this country is determined to glorify those who hate America no matter what. If that means "rallying" at a church "in support" of a convicted terrorist accessory, then they will.

And these nuts often have pull in high places. Remember, in his final months in the White House, President Bill Clinton issued pardons to several terrorists. Some went to Puerto Rican killers from the '70s, in a bid to buy Hispanic support for Hillary's Senate campaign. Others went '60s radicals Susan Rosenberg and Linda Sue Evans of the Weather Underground. And the judge who gave Stewart her soft sentence, praising her good works, was a Clinton appointee, too.

Comment:
For me the choice is clear. Either I want more judges to undercut our War on Terror, or I don't. Voting to keep Republican control in both houses of Congress is the only way I see to protect the most basic right of the American People: the Right to Live.

I seriously think republicans should be worried if the Dems take over and continue to make gains though 08 and it leads to a democratic victory in the White House.

I thought the game plan was to win in small increments. I guess our TV Dinner mentalities out there want the whole meal deal at once. If not they want to throw in the towel.

Seems like the Me Generation has not grown up yet.
