I'll defer to you on this. Seems as though you have it all figured out.
Four months? Geezus, it seems like four years already.
It has actually been about six months since the first TARP handout and the stock market began its nosedive ... but who’s counting? Give it another six months and you won’t be able to remember the twentieth century.
It has become excruciating because if you want to hand the out year election cycles over to the Democrats, we are demonstrating in living color how to do it.
It’s a good thing most conservatives don’t think the same way you do.
And you have the pulse of most conservatives? Look, I’m not here to foment emotional argument but I do want to argue the the pros and cons of staying in a party that is virtually no different, functionally, from the dems. To be honest, the only times I’ve ever been proud of the R Party was during the Reagan years and in 94 with the contract with America that Gingrich laid out and when the house impeached Clinton. I was happy with GW until he began spending like crazy and no one stood up to oppose him. Then he signed into law some of the most damaging legislation in our history, approved by a R majority in congress, and he was more concerned about illegal immigrants than US citizens, border protection. Yet I love the guy and his tact on the war on terror. If those running the party don’t understand or pay attention to our concerns, what the hell are we doing here. It’s like being invited to someones party and when you get there no one talks to you or even notices you showed up but are more than happy to ask you to chip in to cover the expense of the party. Unless your a complete knucklehead, you eventually look around and say, “to hell with this, I’m outa here”. Now here’s my challenge to you. Take what I’ve just told you and show it to everybody you know who’s a conservative and ask if they feel more the way that I do or the way that you do and see for yourself what most Conservatives feel like. Let us continue the debate...
I prefer to continue working within the party to bring conservative change. Throwing up your hands doesn’t help our cause, even though at times everyone feels the same way you do - I have as well.
Yes, it’s the Economy stupid! Nice to know Clinton left us something memorable to throw back at ‘em!!
What do you expect to achieve, really?
