I guess you where wrong on this.

Yes, it didn't get canceled. I'm surprised.

Could you be wrong about your fellow Freepers who vote Republican?

Wrong about what?

You have to vote for the best person for the job, that is your civic duty.

Even if the best person isn't running? If two commies were running against each other, which one would you vote for? If two crooks were running, which is often the case, you vote for the one who stole less? I don't choose to vote that way, but we keep getting bad candidates because lots of people have the childish notion that it is the right way.

The bottom line is that we have to vote in the primaries and get Conservative GOPers on the ballots.

I'm not interested in conservatives if they represent what many so-called conservatives here stand for.

Unless you cannot vote in good conscience, at least consider voting for a conservative R, they have the best chance of making a change and it keeps the Ds out of office. They are the ones who want to destroy our country.

I cannot vote in good conscience for ANYONE who doesn't represent smaller government and the rightful role of government in a free society. Namely, to defend citizens rights.

And we have to DO something, get involved. Write letters to the editor, run for office, get involved in polling place duties, run for committee positions for your local GOP, put up signs, protest.

WE? You have a frog in your pocket? I'm more involved than you are ever likely to be. Skip the lecture, you don't know anything about my involvement so you have no credibility on the issue.

Finally, Stop fighting about the things we can deal with later.

There is no no "later" when it comes to fundamental differences. I oppose all parties that would expand the role of government, or for that matter, keep it the same. That includes Republicans in most cases.

LP, CP and RP agree on basic principles and are close on many issues.

Incorrect on "basic principles", partially correct on "many" issues.

I'd much rather see GOP vs. LP in general elections, I know both really care about the Country and Liberty.

Debatable.

The lack of action and in fighting by the conservative base is the reason the GOP is not more conservative and why we are losing the country.

We are losing the country because people have abandoned the principles of limited government and personal responsibility. Both major parties are guilty of continuing the downward spiral.

You have proven my point.

It is really to bad that so many real conservative Republicans can't win because third party holier than thou types refuse to vote establishment.

There was a difference between Bush 1 and Clinton, and Third Party voters are to blame for Clintons win AND all the consequences.

The same will happen in Oregon in the governors race and happens every election cycle.

The Republican for Governor of Oregon is very Conservative, but because he will not platform on legalizing pot the LP will not support him. And because the LP and CP cannot put aside one or two differences Mannix will lose by 8% or so.

Leaving Oregon with a Socialist.

Thanks again.
