First, I don't buy that he won't raise taxes. Second, Iraq is the only thing that the GOP, as a national party, has going for it that it can call conservative. Everything else is either a mirror of the dems or a compromise.
When will the GOP force the dems into compromise? Ever?
Why would they? GOP politicians are just as enamored with power as their Democrat counterparts. That's why they seek to always expand the size and scope of government. And furthermore, solving the problems only take them off the table at election time. Better to never solve anything so that you can use it to rile up the base.
The state of DC politics is an utter joke.
Apparently you haven’t been paying attention for the last two years.
The stalwart republicans have wiped the floor with Reid and his minions. Pelosi has nothing to show but a minimum wage raised to a level already surpassed by inflation.
Your whining has no basis.
Then we'll have at the least Four (4) years of HELL that we'll have to try to recover from. Do you all remember the damage that the Klintonistas caused?? We're STILL paying for the damage they've done, now. By my reading of the Constitution and US Criminal Code, Der Schlickmeister and his wife should be in JAIL for treason. You want rampant, male-hating, gun-hating, run-amok Feminazi bulldykes rampaging through the White House and government power centers, go ahead and vote Hellery, or stay home. Either way, we get the HBIC (head bitch in charge).
You want a radical, gun-hating, black nationalist racist, backed up by every Black Panther, Islamofreak PAC, and commie/socialist with a pipe bomb and a cause, in the White House, controlling our military and law enforcement, go ahead and vote for B. HUSSEIN Obama, or stay home. Either way, you'll get him and his “G-D America” preacher, and all those clapping, cheering folks in the background. Anyone out here from Philly? Remember Mayor Thug Street's proclamation - “The Bruthas and sistas are in charge now! The Bruthus and sistas are in charge now!”
Yeah...they were in charge, all right...and Philly is sooooo much better off for it, isn't it?
As a matter of fact, the NEW Mayor, Brutha Nutter, brought in a little Fascist thug from DC as the new police chief, who, openly and unabashedly on his radio talk show, said that he CLEARLY would take away law-abiding citizens' right to own and carry concealed firearms for their own personal protection in the city, if he could (unfortunately for HIM, we have a strong State Premption law that prevents him from doing this). THAT's what we get when the DemComs get in control.
I understand McCain is a RINO. But I also think that he will make a much better President than either the closet racist or the open, hostile socialist. And I believe that if he wins, we'll at LEAST have gridlock in Congress, which protects us overall - when they start “coming together in a bipartisan manner” WE THE PEOPLE get F**ed. Always.
So that's the choices we have, and it is reality. The Next Reagan isn't going to come riding in from the sunrise to hold the GOP together anytime soon. WE must do that. WE are the base. And we must hold our party's feet to the fire when they bail on us, and then RUTHLESSLY throw them to the dogs and replace them with real Conservatives when we can.
Third parties are not an option - they give power to the DemComs. Ross Perot and EVERY “conservative” who pulled the lever for him TWICE gave us the Klintonista Regime.
Funny...we're all so full of answers out here...why don't any of us get out into the Political Arena and MAKE it change? The “collective” widom and conservative political acumen that we all seem to possess goes NOWHERE unless we're in the driver's seat.
For myself, I know I wouldnt last three months in politics. I would be jailed for assault and battery.
But TELL me there aren't many amongst us out here in Freep land that are savvy, politically, legally, financially, that can enter the fray and put OUR ideas forth, push OUR agenda, and OUR principles onto the center stage??
Unless and until we do that, all this chatter is just...chatter.
At least McCain is out there, and will take the brunt of our displeasure. I know all the arguements against him - believe me, I am no fan of his - being a strict Second Amendment rights and Constitutionalist, he is NO friend to me. However, I do believe that he will leave the “status quo” intact so as not to turn his base against him, and againt the Party. I do NOT think he will work with the DemComs against us on that issue, and I KNOW that he will not cut and run against the Islamofreaks.
We do NOT have another viable option. Ron Paul will NOT carry it. Neither will Huckabee, and our other wishful thinking “conservative saviors” QUIT on us.
It isn't pretty, but it IS reality, and we need to deal with it.
Let the DemComs self-destruct...let THEM tear each other up, exposing who the REAL racists are and always have been, let THEM spend THEIR war chests, beating each other into the ground. I love to see it - it's far past the time for it, and it makes for good cinema! The Alien Media Nation CAN'T ignore it, no matter how hard they try. We're our own worst enemy, and the REAL enemy is salivating at our in-fighting.
One team, one fight - or we lose, more than we can imagine.
