I am wondering, when do we conservatives finally declare war on the mamby-pamby liberals who use our party as a platform against the Democrats, with no real difference in philosophy but rather a means for running a two card monty against us?
When do we notify the Republican party that if they elect Rudy, McCain, or any other RINO, we will sit out the election and not vote?
I think we should threaten to do this, and if our hand is called, lay it on the table. I am so sick of this.
We have GW Bush, a "compassionate conservative" that has not vetoed any spending. We have the Republican Congress that got their asses whipped after letting the Democrats push them around for 12 years. They never figured out that they were the majority, except for fundraising activities.
So what if some Democrat wins an election? They have won before, they will win again.
My proposal is this. Do not contribute to the Republican Party and tell them that you are doing so because they are too freakin liberal.
Donate to CONSERVATIVES.
Do not campaign or assist RINOS. Let them hang out to dry.
So would Osama Bin Laden
STOP THREATENING US WITH YOUR VOTE...Go start your own freaking party. Anything...just STOP FREAKING WHINING.
Cindy Sheehan will enlist in the U.S. Army before I ever cast a vote for a liberal candidate.
I'll hold you to that when we have President Hillary.
That's kinda like the twisted logic nutcases use to justify killing their kids when they lose custody.
I'm not into suicidal missions
Let's not leave out Ahmadinejad.
Do you have any evidence to support that statement?
Funny - the first word that popped into my head when I read this was "moron."
I can't stand McCain but I'm a conservative so would MUCH rather have a bad Republican (conservative on a few issues) in the White House over a Communist/Socialist (all out government control of life). For Supreme Court picks if nothing else. Amazing how supposedly rational people can't see this.
If a Dem was president, then Osama would be happy, he would blow a hole in LA the size of Burbank, and the American people would see what the Dems have to offer. As it is, we are keeping Osama away, but we are slowly turning into a socialist nation that is not worth fighting for.
I am a pragmatic guy and I have helped the likes of Arnold to win, only to see him abandon any image of Republicanism and screw us hard and repeatedly.
I am sick of it.
I am not talking about walking away from the Republican Party, but rather giving it a good, hard spanking. Every time, we get talked into holding on and sticking with them "just this one more time" and things will get better, but they get worse.
Everything is just platitudes. No one is truly prepared to protect the Constitution.
While I won't vote democrat I don't see the point in voting liberal republican in a bid to out liberal the democrats. That's for morons and lapdogs.
News flash - flaming liberal democrats are now in charge of the Senate and Congress. Did you miss November's election?
No, tapping on the window is NOT sending a message.
I am talking about tossing a brick through the window.
"If a Dem was president, then Osama would be happy, he would blow a hole in LA the size of Burbank, and the American people would see what the Dems have to offer."
So Osama blowing a hole in LA and killing a million Americans would be a good thing? Ok, I can see where you are coming from, its the far right lunatic fringe. No use in trying to talk sense into you. Good night.
I can't stand Rudy or McCain but I will never vote for a democrat, nor will I sit on my hands at election time thereby letting a democrat win. I will vote in the general election for the person with the "R" behind his/her name.
Primary time is the time to root out the rinos.
Do you have any evidence to support the statement that "conservatives sending a message" were the reason for the GOP losses in 2006?
Spare me the Judges rant! Kelo vs New London is PROOF that the Republic is dead.
RINOS refusing to listen is why we have this mess now. Apparently it's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.
I suppose that would solve my hair problem.
Well said. Hopefully the ones who sit home and hope for liberal democrats in control instead on non-perfect republicans will read, and re-read, it.
I just wish the the people here who support those stances wake up and realize we need to get back to the CORE values and fiscal responsibility that signifies the true Republkican party. Not this half baked, "he can beat Hillary" crowd.

When? Election day. Unless you have a nuclear device or two in your spare change purse.
I agree.
We kicked a RINO to the curb in my district. We replaced him with a real conservative who was endorsed by the minuteman PAC to boot.
See the election results from November.
And we'd never diet another day.
In your haste to refute my point, you forgot to include any evidence in your post.
Personally I suspect that those who demanded that we blindly vote for whatever "republican" was on the ballot. didn't follow their own advice when they didn't have a "moderate" enough choice. That probably cost more seats than anything.
One thing is for sure. Either a Republican or a democrat will e elected in 2008.
If a democrat is elected all the things you listed are most likely under a democrat adm.
I want Homeland Security otherwise nothing else will matter. Any dem elected will not provide Homeland security.
I certainly agree with that.
I've already made this well known. I hope others will join me. There are about two dozen rabid promoters of the Rudy candidacy here on FR. I hope that it is clear to them that if this liberal is somehow nominated, that he will suffer a defeat in the general election that will make the Dole election look like a landslide.
I believe Jim Talent lost in MIssouri due to the stem cell issue. He did not lose over immigration issues.
Yup. That's what the "protest voters" said in '06, and now we have Nancy Pelosi comandeering military planes for her jaunts to and from the coast.
Nicely done, "protest voters."
Would you rather have Hillary! or Obama nominating them?
Has he demonstrated any ability to understand and honestly apply the Constitution? I'm sure his handlers have told him to mollify conservatives by saying he'll support the likes of Alito and Roberts, but unless I see some sign that he intends to have the Constitution applied properly and honestly I see no reason to trust that he'd appoint judges who would do so.
A Democrat in the White House who tries to put forth a liberal agenda will face opposition from Republicans in the Congress. A liberal "Republican" in the White House, by contrast, would face no such opposition.
Consider the relative success of Clinton pushing Hillarycare versus Bush pushing his prescription drug plan.
I agree it's pointless to bash too much on Republicans who truly are moderate, but many so-called "moderates" are really liberals.
As for McCain, I don't see how I can possibly support a man who wrote the McCain-Feingold abomination.
"...Go start your own freaking party."
I would like to not give a hoot period and support the belief system of the 1940's.
Ya'll are all crooked and greedy.
What is worse is the namby pamby types that yell " I am going to kick butt and support Free America"
What a bunch of cowards, same mind set as jihad for Radical Islam.
We have section of Heroes and Patriotic here in the good ole USA.
Fortuntely they will never blog on somewhere they will gulp and be proud and continue to serve the Original Constitutinal Rights of America.
THose silent working to care for neighbor, serve in their community ect with never a mention of their name or service to me are the real heroes of this Blessed Country.
My Prayers that they teach the next generation so that we can perservere. God Bless America.
I have a deformed face so a burqua would work but then I have a issue with confined space.
SO I wil be ugley and defaced but I have taste in clothes and lather my wrists in rare blue diamonds.
Then if you really care I have a heart that if you ever passed by would care for you, love you, could in an emerg. trach you...and then I would pass on by...but you would know God sent me by that day.
Peace, care and freedom.
Babies should not die because of who politics their freedom to live.
See the election results from November's election. (I typed slowly this time just to make you happy)
