You guys are too funny for words.

Anyone who dares to question the new-left look of the GOP, must be a democrat.

What a pantload.

[Sockdologer]

No. Anyone who has to dodge his questions because he can't defend his argument and only has one stock line and tosses his votes to the Democrats might just as well be part of
the donkey party.

You give your vote to them, you might as well be one.
And maybe you prefer to be. That's your choice,
but don't come here expecting respect for it.

The "AAAH Bush betrayed me, so I'll help a Democrat win!"
stance is both silly and hypocritical - and worse when
repeated over and over.

The difference is that some see the bottom line and some can't

It will be either Bush or a Democrat. There is no magical third candidate who may take the White House.

If you think the Democrat is better then cut the pretense and just have guts enough to vote for him straight up.

[arasina]

Any person claiming to be conservative who is not motivated to keep the Democrats out of power after knowing EXACTLY what they will do with it if given the opportunity, has a real problem with reality. They're either political martyrs, have not been paying attention to what the Democrat candidates have been promising they will do if elected, or are ignoring (or are totally or willfully ignorant of) the history of the last seventy years, or are incredibly dense or insane, or have a morbid desire to toil their lives away in the misery of a Liberal Hell! Any person who would support a third party candidate who has absolutely zero chance of winning even one state or even a single electoral vote is so politically naive and devoid of the brainpower that The Creator so graciously endowed upon them, that it's not even worth wasting pixels on.

There's a questioning policy and working to change minds is an excellent and admirable goal. I'm with you 100% there.

It is this method of throwing out the baby with the bath water that I disagree with. No one else has the sort of funds and organization to build a new party from the ground up in 10 months. Unless you can get something like 60-70% of Pubbies and their $$$ to change sides to the CP, LP, or whatever, no pleasant outcome is possible.

If change was so ablsolutely necessary, it should have been done over the last three years. It is too late to move now. Prepare for 2008, when you will likely have HRC running on the Dem ticket, who's weak popularity with everyone that isn't a leftist will enable a third party to have a fighting chance.

Do split the unity of conservatives now will only lead to our defeat, and possibly the deaths of millions. This is no exageration. You know what all of the Democratic candidates intend to do to our defense budget, homeland security, and foreign policy. The war on terror will come to our shores, and we will have no one else to blame.

Feel free to criticise the President. Mass email him, write letters to Congress, protest on the street corners. Tell everyone who will listen why the path of freedom is the best for all people. These tactics exploit the strengths of fora like Free Republic. THIS is our power. THIS is where true change will come from. Attemting some sort of political revolution will only lead to our downfall.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Uh, ahem, let me try this again. :p Yeah, I need to learn to use preview...
