There is only one way to get the corruption out of our government, and that is to take baby steps!
We already know that democRATS are dyed-in-the-wool socialists, totally against the Constitution. We know this not by what they say, but what they do! Our first chore is to give Republicans control of both houses and the presidency. Then we can begin to rid ourselves of the McCains, etc.!
We, the people can never do that if the democRATS regain control!
I said it before, I'll say it again...third party candidates will have NO support until they win local offices!
Let's say all the third party voters hold their noses and vote for the candidate with the "r".
The gop then wins back the senate and retains the house.
What will you do if taxes go up, government regulations increase, even more laws are passed that trample the bill of rights, and the u.n. is still in NYC?
Would you come back next time for more of the same?
Is it enough for you to just be on the winning side?
Where is your line in the sand?
More important, though, any "free soil" president---and Lincoln was the first---would be able to override the pro-slave regimes in the South by appointing anti-slave federal judges, marshals, customs inspectos, and postmasters. This was critical, and everyone knew it. From 1836 on, only having a "northern man of southern principles" in the White House prevented war, and thus the Dems intended to keep the White House, which they did, except for two weak Whigs who had no intention on acting on slavery.
C'mon Darth, You stole that bumper sticker from the Libertarians.
I'll vote for the most honest and conservative candidate regardless of party. The Lincoln Chaffees and Jeffords of the world can kiss my rosy red prosperity. We need more Jesse Helms!!
He can't answer you...

But since I consider those who co-operate with evil to be evil...then we must also vote out those Republicans who have been co-operating.
Which means most need to go.

The sad part is you probably believe this tripe you wrote. Republicans the ONLY conservative party? Bwahaha. Well they're more conservative than the Democrats I'll give you that much. Course that's not saying much.

I hope that caused a Maalox moment for you, as we KNOW you are still lurking.
All due respect, it's a fair question. If folks are going to advocate a common cause it's important we clearly define the cause itself. Some people will tell you "conservative" means small government. Others will tell you it means using government to influence morality. Both are probably somewhat correct; the average modern-day "conservative" falls somewhere in the middle.
You are willing to vote for any republican under any circumstance, in an effort to simply defeat a democrat.
You consider those who believe in our constitution and it's specific outline of limited government, to be "radical conservatives" and put them in the same class as the democrats.
You believe that all who claim to be republicans are allies, and everyone else is your enemy.
I know many of these "radicals" who will vote for an honest representative who believes in smaller limited government, for personal liberty and the freedoms given to us all by god. These radicals will vote for this type of candidate if their name is followed by the letter "r" or not.
They believe that their vote is the only means of recording their approval or disapproval of a candidate.
By the way for the sake of argument - What have you done to defeat the democrats?
I vote FOR candidates who I believe will honor their oath to uphold the constitution. I am willing to financially support these candidates. I have yet to identify a democrat who meets this simple requirement. Therefore, I don't support or vote for democrats.
I have no respect for these so-called conservatives who plot and scheme to destroy any effort to promote a republican claiming they are not pure enough. Yet - we never hear them complain about the democrats.
I must say that these too paragraphs of yours sum it all up for me. It says it all and says it so well.
I thinks so. I also think it's a fair question to ask if social conservtivism automatically implies political conservativism. Is it possible to be a social conservative, but a political liberal - ie to pursue a socially conservative agenda by politically liberal means?
You know, I think I will. My theory so far is that gwb is nominating candidates who he knows will not be confirmed, in an attempt to make the partisanship an election year issue.
I could be wrong of course, but I don't believe that the administration that gave us CFR and the "Patriot Act" would walk accross the street to fight for a constitutionalist judge.
Now, since YOU brought it up......
How do you know that I even wear "under-things" HA
My personal opinion is that people will act responsibly if they understand they'll need to bear the consequences of their actions. The best way to do so is to remove government handouts from the equation. In that respect, less government will encourage more responsibility, and vice versa.
Not the only case.

How do you define "conservative"? I seriously would like to know since you are on record as pro-abortion, pro drug legalization and an outspoken animal rights adherent.Answered thus:832 posted on 9/24/02 3:10 AM Eastern by Texasforever
I define a conservative as somebody who wants to return to a constitutionally limited gov't. But lately, conservative has come to mean someone who wants the government to endorse their big money guzzling programs instead of those of the liberals.And outta here. It's been a draw-'em-out-of-the-woodwork-and-ban-'em kind of thread.I am against abortion after the first trimester. I am against prohibition. And I don't think that we should treat animals shoddily before humans consume them.
