With that simple statement you place a letter in front of your name, a letter that means more to you than the truth, the country, or facts. I know that you believe that Republicans are better for the country, are more likely to tell the truth, and adhere more closely to the facts, as do I. I don't expect perfection, close is good enough, if you are seriously striving towards it, but it has been a long time since a person in any party has even tried that tactic. Instead they talk of smaller govt, limited federal role and a return to the Constitution, but they DO NOTHING to advance this cause.....not even lip service any more.
I know this sounds harsh, but why go on supporting the party that brought forth the exact same abomination that the federal govt has become. You do know that the financial system of this country is near total collapse, Obama has sold our friends out for his petty reasons, and McCain has not even commented. God help this country, and help those that have belief in party over truth to wake up.
I know that only a Democrat or Republican can conceivably win a major election in this country. I know that to vote for a third party is a wasted vote...THE WAY THINGS ARE CURRENTLY CONFIGURED.....but if we...you, me and all believers in Conservatism hold out....yell loudly enough, maybe...just maybe we can pull the corrupted ones back across the center to the right a little bit. Heck, I would take a Democrat majority, if most of those were new members of Congress. The other side is not our enemy, just knee jerks of another sort.
We have to quit being so knee jerk in our voting habits. There really are more of us than we know......and as Rush says, the truth will win...maybe Republicans should try some of that radical stuff to get elected.
What in the world are you talking about?
I’m a registered independent and have always been. I vote how I feel, not for a party.
If there is any letter before my name, it’s C. For conservative.
You have given the perfect example of “eating our own”. We are all on the same side. Hold your ego in check.
