I read this article last night on their website before I went to bed. It disgusted me.

It's just sad. Our guys out there need our help, they have a mission, there's a new strategy, it seems they'll have more aggressive involvement and Iraqi involvement this time. All they need is the support from THEIR OWN COUNTRY (more manpower and equip). Isn't that sad. It's maddening and breaks your heart but DON'T GIVE UP- don't ever give up you Conservatives. Sooner or later the wiser people come to their senses and the not so wise need something to complain about which is whoever's presently in charge (which is the Congress right now). I just hope when things get turned around again, it's not too late. Why is it on the news we always see the "anti-war" protesters. Where's the "troop-supporters"? I know they have a bigger mouth but come on....where's the voice of supporters, conservatives, and of reason?

We should stop calling them Democrats. The only appro;priate terms are Dhimmicrats or Copperheads.

so that you can sooth your own mind by punishing a RINO. It is simply the most stupid, selfish and egotistical expression to vote out a Republican, RINO or not, and allow Democrats to take over
Your line of reasoning makes two glaring mistakes. Your premises are that: A)That's what I did personally, and; B)The motivation for taking out a RINO is to punish them and to let a democrat take over, just to make a point.
I live under two of the biggest idiots in the government of the United States, Senators Olympia Snowe (R) and Susan Collins ("I" for independant socialist). Do I want them out because I believe that they weaken this country? You're damn right I do. Did I vote for Snowe in the primaries? Heeeeeellllllll no! Did she sweep the primary? She sure did, because there was no other candidate that came even remotely close. That being the case,I voted for her in the general election, along with a straight rep. ticket.
I'm sure that some Republicans voted Democrat or Independent to "punish" their left-leaning representatives; however, the Rpublicans lost the election because they have been acting like politicians rather than leaders. The number one ballot box issue in nearly every poll? CORRUPTION.That causes the Republican base to fracture during the primaries as some go in search of a better candidate, and causes the easily-led sheep in the "independent voter" category to lean left of center. Was this primarily because the leftist media painted a pretty picture of the Socialist Lite Party Of Corruption, while damning the Republicans? Of course it was, but that is another issue.
The Republicans didn't lose in a landslide:they lost just enough seats to lose the House and Senate. If you want to point a finger at a voting block, point it at the swing voters, who wouldn't know the right side of a political issue if it bit them on the ass. The majority of the Republican base voted "R".
You just proved that there is NO REASONING behind what some of you are doing, do the detriment of your own agenda. It is ALL ABOUT YOU, not Conservatism, blah, blah, blah...
Again, you jump up on a soapbox to try and come to a conclusion without knowing the actual facts. Change happens incrementally. We need to change the direction of the Republican party, and that is a fact. However, I believe that THE PRIMARIES ARE THE ONLY LOGICAL PLACE TO EFFECT CHANGE; after that, you vote what is best for the America... which is obviously REPUBLICAN! Have you even read my tagline? Checked my posting history? When some of my "conservative" representatives pull liberal crap like shamnesty or spending like drunken sailors, they weaken my country and everything it stands for. For that reason, it's time for them to go. However, with all the idiocy that has gone on in the Republican't party (do I really have to go into all of it?), they are still better than the democrats by a mile.

To: Mo1
These people are worse than disgusting. They are pure, conniving evil.
They plan to lose the war in Iraq and turn the country over to chaos and allow it to become an Islamic power base, disrupt any attempt to throttle Iran, destroy our military morale and capabilities, blame the upcoming disaster on President Bush, gain ultimate political power so they can abandon the war against Islamic Fascism, and geld those left who want to pursue this deadly war on our side. Their Media sycophants will provide whatever cover they need.
These people are no better than Al Qaeda - worse, actually, as they claim to be patriotic Americans. Instead, they should be counted in our enemy's camp.

My line of reasoning is the direct result of what you wrote. Maybe instead of being defensive, you should direct your energy at writing more clearly. I would offer that I was not alone in my interpretation.
