Reads like more "suppress the republican vote"

Look, I agree with allot of what he's saying, but he's an IDIOT if he'd rather have the DNC in power just ot teach a few RINO's a lesson.

That's exactly what it is, which would make this poster really happy.

If you stay home and let the demoncraps win, it would be like letting the dems escort all the illegals to their new world.

I got a question, how come win dems say tax cut for the middle class, nobody ask them how much money the middle class makes? The middle class in CA. probably make 2-3 times what the middle class makes in the midwest. Middle class tax cuts hurt the middle class in other parts of the country.

Okay here is a question for any Freepers who would like to answer. I am a Conservative and hold my nose and vote Republican only because I don't see that I have much of a choice. I agree with basically everything said in this piece, but I have already voted and voted straight Republican except for our worthless, but unopposed Rep. Senator. Many if not most of the posters on here echo the Limbaugh screed about the dire consequences of not voting straight party ticket yet again this time. These are also many of the same people, I might add, who deride Blacks for voting straight Dem every election though the party treats them like step children, the same way Republicans treat Conservatives.

So here is my question. What are conservatives supposed to do? The common wisdom here is that voting 3rd party is tantamount to treason as is staying home. Limbaugh and others say work at the local level to support better candidates. Would that be candidates like Pat Toomey who the WH and other Republican big guns turned on like rabid dogs when he ran against that stalwart conservative Arlen Specter? Here locally we have a congressional candidate running who is a pretty good pick for a rather liberal district and would be replacing a total waste of vote Liberal, Socialist straight party incumbent, but since he defeated the party's pick in the primary they are doing nothing to support him. I have to believe that is the norm nationwide when you buck the party, which is definitely not conservative ideologically. So I am asking where do conservatives go and what do they do? I don't want to hear the standard "but do you want Pelosi to be Speaker" crap. I am an adult and don't react well to boogie man talk anymore. I want to know what a person who is a small government, pro-life, pro-gun, fiscal conservative, who is strong on national security but can see the flaws in our Iraq policy supposed to do. From what I read here and from what I get from Limbaugh and other party mouthpieces(and yes Rush that is what you are if you are reading this) is bend over, take it and be happy about it. I for one am tired of that, and I don't think I am alone.

Sorry about the length of the post. I hope I get some well-reasoned well-thought out responses.
