So you see McCain doing Viagra commercials in 24 months?

So let me get this straight. If you want $2.00 and I offer $1.00, you’ll not take it because you didn’t get everything you wanted?

No, I want $2.00 and you're offering me a shoelace. I may, down the road, be able to sell that shoelace. But it is much more likely that no one will buy. In addition to trying to get me to accept the shoelace, you want me to LOVE that shoelace and tell all my potential buyers what a fabulous shoelace it is and how valuable it will be...any day now!

Sorry. It's a shoelace. I won't sell my soul for it.

“I don ‘t know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, “We must broaden the base of our party”—when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.

It was a feeling that there was not a sufficient difference now between the parties that kept a majority of the voters away from the polls. When have we ever advocated a closed-door policy? Who has ever been barred from participating?

Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?”

If all the conservatives stay home and McCain loses by inches who else is there to blame?

So you think they are automatically entitled to my vote because they call themselves Republican? They have to do NOTHING at all to earn it? They can even insult me and I am still obligated in some way to vote for them?

Sorry, my skin color is white and slavery was abolished years ago.

How in the world can conservatives who have stayed loyal to conservative principles and concepts, be blamed for what's happened to the Republican Party? The people that have made the mess of the Republican Party are those who have attempted to expand it by including liberals and independents and Democrats so as to marginalize conservatives. And all of a sudden it's our fault. No, sir!

Ah yes. We've seen it trotted out already: "When Hillarycare comes to pass, it'll be all YOUR fault for not voting McCain."

NO SIR INDEED. God Bless Rush Limbaugh.

He did not start railing on McCain until shortly before SC. Then he scrambled to endorse Fred, then Mitt. He should have been educating the masses about Hunter’s record for months.

Funny, I never heard Rush claim to be responsible for how people vote. I think it's up to each voter to educate himself, not hang on Rush's words to tell them what to think or do.>/p>

Rush had plenty good to say about Hunter. Nobody was buying. If he'd spent months on Hunter's record he would have sounded like a nutcase and lost his whole audience except for the 37 people who already were going to vote for Hunter.

No, I see McCain still in Congress even more vengeful against conservatives because this will have been the second time we denied him the W.H.

Conservatives are to The GOP what African-Americans are to The Democrats.

The Republican Party's RINO establishment is set to blame the conservative base for the inevitable debacle.

Good, I want them to know that we are the power. I hope it makes them shutter when the see the scope of their defeat. Seems to be the only way to get their attention.

No, he had next to nothing to say about Hunter.

If he wants to say he does not make primary endorsements (which he told a Hunter supporter who called in) then he should have stuck by that. Instead, he watched a trainwreck forming and did nothing until it was too late.

No, it is not his job to “tell” people how to vote, but to inform them. He sucks.

Sign me up as a worker for the new “conservative” Party. I am sure that there will be more Republicans going to the conservative side if we have a strong leader emerge. DeLay? Newt? Please add other names as you see fit. CC to elrushbo@eibnet.com with your suggestions.
Rush, I hope your mail server is not overloaded. How about Rush as the Part head and not the candidate. I think that he will be more effective in this capacity.

“I think it is you who is being manipulated.”

Maybe, but I’m not supporting defeat in the war, more dead babies, and more money coming out of our pockets, are you?

Are you sure?

Staying home on election day is de-facto support for the democrats and you know it. Your actions will speak for you, everything else is justification to make yourself feel better about your decision.

Think. Stop emoting and think.

“Let’s give up the WH for 4 years. We’ll get it back in 2012. If we stand behind mclame now, it will just prove to the RINOS that we will back ANYTHING they throw our way, even someone who detests us. THAT would be a mark on us, not them.”

Didn’t “we” do that to obtain 8 years of Bill Clinton? Then we got W.

Doing things your way, we’ll get 8 years of Hilary. Then we’ll get another W.

I don’t want 8 years of Hilary.

Again, it’s politics. If you want to win, then you go with the guy who can win...if you would rather lose by standing firmly on principles, well, that’s another way to go. However, the object of the exercise is to win.

For you, maybe. The object for me is to preserve my country. This whole time we've been "winning", we've moved further and further to the left. All we are winning is a slow down.

WE'RE giving the country incrementalism all the while we talk about frogs in pots. Turn the heat way up. I'm willing to live with what happens.

You put up the guy who has the best chance of getting elected.

Then it looks like you f'd up because McCain has virtually no chance of getting elected.

Nice work.

I’m not staying home on election day. I’m going to go vote for all the conservatives I can. That does not include mclame, hill nor obama.

You can try to “bully” me as much as you’d like, it will not work.

“Think. Stop emoting and think.”....You should take your own advise before you spew it amongst others.

off as conservative is full of it. It might be Republican, but it isn’t conservative.

That sounds very much like "the end justifies the means". I don't buy it.
