The Terri Factor and what it means...

I have been repeating the Terri Factor as it emerges in race after race this season, separating clearly the candidates by what they defend.

Bringing up what happened to Terri has been a watershed, separating those who are pro-life from those who are pro-death in a clear way, eliminating much of the haze and confusion of middle ground. For the most part, it is the decent candidates of the GOP and some dems against the libs, the far left, the clintonists, the communists, and Al Jazeera, (and their terrorist pals...) Sometimes it is RINO's who took the side of death as in Washington State, and perhaps we can learn on the next go-around and park them during the primaries. Certainly it is the case of Crist and I have not hidden my disdain of Crist, and he is not in a Congressional or Senate race. Moreover, not being resident of Florida, I have no action to attach to my opinions, but would consider the lesser of two evils here, too.

Right now we are facing a crucial election coming up, a danger of no more decent judges being appointed if we lose the House/Senate, and yes, the RINO candidates. If the numbers change enough, it could mean committee assignment shifts, a phalanx of resistance against any true conservative efforts like decent judicial appointments.

That is why I invoke the tag line of T'wit, Due to Original Sin, the lesser of two evils is the only choice we've ever had. Vote GOP! and why I consider the axiom that we not cut off our noses to spite our faces.

The left would love for us to dilute our votes on the RINO's so they would have the advantage in Congress. Without a balance on the Supreme Court, the Terri's of the future would suffer a similar fate. No matter how good we may feel about not voting, or voting for someone not likely to win, we are in effect voting for the candidate of the left and are doing the work the death culture wants.

The left expects it of us, knowing we as conservatives are quick to condemn those who fail in our name even as we ignore the antics of the lefties benefiting from our skirmishes.

I believe my perspective squares with the pro-life stance of FreeRepublic.

The Terri Factor in Nebraska...

"You forgot an important reason why someone ought NOT vote for Fortenberry. Terry Schiavo. Mr. Fortenberry voted with the pack that wanted to interfere with the most sacred commitment - a marriage and say they knew better than the husband what the wife wanted. The Supreme Court slapped Congress back to their side of the Constitution for that. Do you, the voters of the First District, want someone who voted that way to represent you? For shame Journal Star for this endorsement."

Fortenberry is our choice in 1st District

I've been very disillusioned with the Illegal immigration shamnesty, and will continue to press this issue every which way I can. But at the end of the day, it would be very dangerous to hand control of our Country over to the Rats..If we do this, every man and woman who died fighting against the Terrorists will have died in vein.

Therefor, I have no choice but to vote GOP.

Glad to lend you my tagline! I hope every Freeper uses it. We have to hold our nose in some races, but even a RINO is almost always better than the Democrat.

Moreover, when a Democrat wins, it strengthens the whole Democratic party organization and encourages the hate-America left. It gives them patronage and cash and power that they will use against American traditions and freedoms. You can bet it that it fires up the Islamofascists in Iraq, too.

In my area, there are at least two important races where the Republican seems to have little chance. That's all the more reason I'll vote for them. Better to support the right candidate in even a losing cause than to stay home and surrender to evil.

Terri Schiavo was mentioned all day yesterday on tv and has been covered all day today on Bay News 9. If Terri's life and death isn't a factor, why do they keep discussing same? Why is everyone bragging about what they didn't do to protect her or what they wouldn't do to protect her?

It seems to me that compassionate liberalism and compassionate conservative are BOTH DEAD.

Terri was very strong but she was very afraid. We were afraid for her. Shame on politicians who claim it's okay to starve and dehydrate a human being to death!

I understand Crist is also a homosexual, and I don't like seeing them elected to public office. Too easy to blackmail, too much chance of Foley-like shenanigans. It's not PC to be against candidates based on their being sodomites, but I have strong reasons not to trust them.
