I've used up whatever blinded me to the rino insanity game when they ran McCain and now can't vote for rinos any longer, so I'm left with voting my conscience.
The GOPe keeps running their rinos and conservatives keep telling ourselves we MUST vote for their rino progressive to keep the demonrat progressive out of the WH. This works really well for them, so the GOPe keeps doing it. Why should they stop?
We just keep pulling the handle for their progressive rino, while telling ourselves that next time we'll vote for the one we really want, b/c next time it will be different, over and over again.
Why wait until next time to do the right thing, according to your conscience?
Who can say how it will go, but like you say:
You're much better off facing an overt, avowed enemy outside your gates, than allowing a traitor wearing false colors inside.
Remember, it was the GOPe who gave us Ross Perot by giving us Bush the elder.
And, it wasn't Perot's fault Bush lost, either. It was Bush's and the GOPe's fault.
I thought obama would be a disaster and he has been, but the cool thing is, now most everyone else sees it too!
And, the progressives get the blame! Finally!!! All because, obama got greedy and pushed the limit, which outed them by waking us up!
The GOPe would have kept things on the down low, going to the same place obama is taking us, but slowly moving forward, nice and progressive, spoonful, by spoonful.
Insanity is voting for that lesser evil over and over thinking it's better. I just couldn't see that before McCain; now it's all I see.
Why wait until next time to do the right thing, according to your conscience?
If the conservative right had begun voting their conscience en masse when Bush 41 ran for re-election, we wouldn't have a full-blown Marxist in the White House today.
One of the most frightening aspects of the current argument, is that so many on our side fail to see this. Accommodating our side's incremental drift leftward, by voting for the pathetically weak candidates they put up, only compromises our stated principles more and more. At some point, we'll be indistinguishable from the other guys.
Comes a time where you've finally got to draw a line in the sand and say, "No Further!" This election is that line in the sand.
