Many conservative voters are disillusioned at the Republicans for not standing up for their principles, for compromising with the Democrats, for having no spines etc. etc. They vow not to vote for the Republicans, or outright vote for the Democrats, to send them a message, to teach them a lesson. I think this kind of message/lesson serves no purpose but to cut off your own supply of oxygen.
Almost all the Republicans rejected obumbocrap (obamacare) but Harry Reid and his crooked Dems jammed it through deviously. The House Republicans have passed many legislations to repeal obumbocrap but Reid et al killed them all. The House Republicans have passed many good legislations but Reid and his crooks buried them all. The media blasted the Republicans on all their good constitutional/conservative acts, but remained silent on the Democrats' constant acts to destroy the constitution. This is a known fact and all of us always complain about it. Yet we are not showing any understanding of the difficult situations facing the House Republicans. While the Dem voters are behind their Dems 100%, we are demanding perfection while offering no help. We blame the Republicans for this and that but we are not working hard to create an opportunity or situation where they can stand on their principles and serve us faithfully. Why don't we vote them into majority in both House and Senate, so they have more control and feel less pressured to compromise, but more encouraged to listen to us to enact constitutional legislations for the good of the country. This is not excuses for the Republicans' non-performance. It is simply a fact that a good person can only do so much under difficult situations! We should understand that it is human nature to be rather weak, especially when under pressure. But given the favorable situations we are more likely to stand up taller for our principles. Remember when the Republicans were the majority in both Houses - even with a Democrat president Clinton, Congress was able to serve the people well! So if we are able to vote the Republicans into the majority, we just might be able to influence them into reversing the course to get our country back on the right track. Considering that many people have awaken and patriots are much more enthusiatically engaged in shaping government policies, we can realistically hope to get better leaders who will listen to the people again. All we need to do is unite and vote the crooks out but vote the acceptable albeit imperfect Republican candidates in, then work hard to influence them...
Certainly, with rampant voter fraud, ignorant and low-information voters, AND, the conservatives who vow to stay home or vote for the Dems, there is no hope that the Republicans will be in control of both Houses. It was said that those conservatives who wouldn't vote for the Republicans are part of the reasons why the Dems won the elections. So these conservatives are in effect cutting off the supply of oxygen to their own hopes (and our hopes)!
History suggests that the Republicans are more constitution-abiding leaders. We need to create the opportunities for them to abide to the constituion - by voting them into majority and then pressuring them into serving the people the way they should.
Make a point. Not a RINO talking point. I’ll be glad to once you catch up on the backlog of things you ducked, dodged, ignored and avoided to fire off snark.
Feel free to scroll back through this thread to see which points I’ve defeated you with so far, doofus.
I have. I musta missed it. Examples?
Just do a little more scrolling. I promise you they’re there.
Your post history confirms what I’ve been saying by your own admission.
Sorry but I work in facts...facts state a conservative hasn’t seen the white house in 26 years. That is fact and irrefutable. What is also fact is deleriousness on the part of those that think one will be elected in the next 26. What was eloquently states earlier in chipping away is a fact that liberals have utilized effectively. They don’t call us the stupid party for no reason at all. I don’t think half in here could identify strategic plans or thought process if it slapped them in the head... And to be clear as a Marine veteran I can assure you I’m as constitutional as they come but refused to submit to a sheeple litmus test
I looked. you refuted nothing.
As to my post history, as I said, everyone that cares is encouraged to go read it for themselves. They will not find one contradictory thing to what I said here.
I know that’s a problem for your narrative and all, but when you don’t lie to people about what you say or what you believe, it’s pretty easy to keep track of things like that.
You’re convinced that we’re doomed, that conservatism is doomed. That’s what your post history says. Yet we’re supposed to listen to your lectures about political strategy. That’s where the rub is, you silly goose.
If a conservative is on the ticket I won’t hesitate a nanosecond to pull the trigger of course I want one there and vote in primaries to try to put them there but what I won’t do should the conservative not win is stomp my feet grab my marbles and go home. You fight for your person in the primaries. You vote for the one that came out in the general with the hopes long term yyouturn the tide. To do otherwise guaruntees the downfall and those that do so are fully complicit
Your calling FReepers 0 voters is not a “fact”...it’s unnecessary and divisive...and you toot your horn about how good it is that “they don’t like it”.
Use your Marine “creds” elsewhere...means little to me except that you’ve served in some capacity. I saw a “Marine” yesterday with a liberal sticker on his truck...
Get back to me when one of your RINOs votes for a Conservative proposal. I hear crickets for 30 years and counting. History is not on your side.
We are doomed if we keep following your path to a more liberal America. Why do you find that hard to grasp? Am I supposed to ignore facts to make you ‘passionately’ feel good about things that aren’t real?
Mark my words when I say this....I guaruntee you there is far more a percentahe majority of conservative Marines than the general population so yes it is a credit to throw up. I happen to personally be one...and a PROUD ONE at that
See 528
You assholes are convinced that we’re going to fail. But I don’t want to fail. Therefore I resist assholes like you. Fuck you and all the assholes like you.
I want to defeat you and all those like you. I want to win. I want America to win.
You want Liberals to win. Heard loud and clear.
Yup, not winning so the swearing starts. Your win means amnesty and dead children. Suck it up buttercup.
Furthermore if you don’t vote because “your guy” couldn’t articulate a vision the majority of the party put out there then yes you did assist in voting for 0. There is no way around that. I don’t hesitate in calling it for what it is. I believe you are a passionate conservative as am I. I believe strongly in what I posted in 528...again fight like hell to put the conservative in during the primaries..but for God’s sake don’t vote the other guy in during general by not voting out of protest.
Um, okay. Thanks sweetheart.
Then report the voter fraud. It’s your duty. Because voting for anyone other than zero is not a vote for zero.
Pick one. Asshole/sweetheart. Go with it. Either is fine with me.
