I think some of you guys are Democratic plants. I know the Dems do that sort of thing. They send people around to conservative blogs and tell people that the Republican candidate is no good and that people should throw their vote away on some third party candidate who has no chance at all.
But, I must say, usually they are not so dumb as to come out and say "vote for the Democrat" as you have done.
“They send people around to conservative blogs and tell people that the Republican candidate is no good”
In the case of Mark Kirk, he’s not just “no good” he’s a low down dirty rotten scumbag demonrat masquerading as a “Republican.”
That is part of my track record. Other than coupon clipping, what's yours?
BTW, favoring the slicing, dicing and hamburgerization of thoroughly innocent unborn babies is an awful lot more disreputable than being a Democrat as such. Giannoulias is no prize but he is the Demonrats' problem. Nancyboy is a "Republican" problem. As Clint Eastwood said (metaphorically, of course): A man has the obligation to shoot his own dogs. In Illinois, this year, Republicans who ARE Republicans, conservatives who ARE conservatives and men who ARE men have a mutual obligation to politically dispose of Nancyboy whether that means your taxes go up or not. The issues I care about are one hell of a lot more important than whether you pay 39.6% instead of 35% on your income above $250,000.
Maybe conservatives should consider whether a little class warfare directed against the obsessively materialistic might not be a good idea both politically and morally if the obsessively materialistic refuse to understand their place in the conservative movement (you get support on taxes but ONLY if you toe the line on everything that is important to the conservative rank and file: guns, babies, marriage, military, etc.)
Don't like that??? Become a full-fledged honest and candid Demonrat, give them fat checks in exchange for special deals, and see how that Hopey Changey thang works for ya. This ain't your investment banker great grandaddy's GOP and it never will be again.
Instead of a personal income tax on wages and salaries, CT had taxes on dividends, interest and investments. Those who opposed the income tax were steadfast in opposing those taxes too but it is not particularly easy to defend those folks and the materialistic obsessions that are their lifeblood. They will never have conservative support in Connecticut again because they sold out to their fellow malefactor Weicker when he cut their investment, interest and dividends taxes in exchange for them abandoning the rank and file of Connecticut citizens. Prince Lowell came twenty years before Princess Lisa Murkowski. Pro-abort, pro-perversion entitlement elitists with money obsessions.
You think wrong, but, given your posts on this thread, that comes as no surprise.
