Sitting this one out (open letter to RNC)
me | 8/21/04 | me

Posted on 08/21/2004 9:06:29 AM PDT by wdkeller

TO: Republican National Committee Cc: Butler Co. Republican party Ohio Republican Party George W. Bush

Subject: Sitting this one out

As a conservative, I have become increasingly disappointed at the leftward drift of the Republican Party under the leadership of George W. Bush. His monetary and immigration policies are prime examples.

I have come to the conclusion that he is, quite simply, unacceptable. Furthermore, the overall position of the Republican Party is too far to the left to suit me.

The argument that "the other guy is worse" is invalid. There is now such an indiscernible difference between the Republican and Democrat parties that it would make little difference who won the election.

You have not put up a good candidate since Ronald Reagan. I have held my nose and voted in the last three elections, but I can't stomach it any more.

Therefore, this year, I will vote for no Republican candidates at the national, state or local level. If I find an acceptable conservative 3rd party, I will vote for them.

If we lose the election, so be it. My prayer is that a sound drubbing will slap some sense back into the Republican Party.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Just answer this quick one, then: which wars fought by our American servicemen were the "real" ones... and which ones weren't?

C'mon, itch: you can at least answer that one, can't you...?

Look... I'll even make it simpler still for you:

Korean War Vets Are "Real" American War Veterans: _____ YES _____ NO

'Nam War Vets Are "Real" American War Veterans: _____ YES _____ NO

Desert Storm War Vets Are "Real" American War Veterans: _____ YES _____ NO

War On Terror Vets Are "Real" American War Veterans: _____ YES _____ NO

C'mon.

Don't be frightened.

You must have brain-freeze if you don;t think there is a WORLD-WIDE WAR going on. Or do you feel so safe and smug in Alaska?

LOL! Sorry, but your demands that I go to bed mean about as much as your demands to bite you...none whatsoever.

Granted, I should have some compassion for someone who is a prime example of what can happen inside of a fast moving armored vehicle and not wearing a helmet...but I'll make an exception in your case.

Scouts in, helmets on.

Eskimo, you have thoroughly cleaned Little Kent's clock time and time again, even though he's doing his best Black Knight impersonation. Granted, neither you nor I will ever teach English at the local college, but Grammar Boy really showed his a**, didn't he? I leave this debate in your capable hands, as I'm tired and goin' to bed! Be good, bro.

My watch.

Actually, I did think, at the outset, Reagan would be one of our best presidents ever. I was more enthusiastic about he and his candidacy than about any president before or since. His lanslide election as well as some of his amazing personal traits and abilities were a big clue.

Perhaps we're seeing signs of early evolution. They're attempting to communicate between petri dishes.

I remember the last world war, didn't ever hear about any new ones being declared. When did that happen?

Kent, I am truly sorry about your brother

I am acknowledging the one genuinely sincere-seeming sentiment in your posting, and responding in kind. Thank you.

You realize, don't you, that you started all this

Awwwwww. And you were doing so well, too, right up until the outright lying started. Tsk.

That said, my opinion of you is even lower than my opinion of Chief Jerkson.

1.) ... and this means something to me (or should) because...? You're a proven liar; your spavined attempts at grammarial instruction reveal you to be either mongoloid (at best), or addicted to powerful hallucinogenics (at worst); and your patent, sneering lack of respect for this country's servicemen -- to say nothing of their Commander-in-Chief -- rivals anything to be found on the DU boards.

I'd sooner have the "respect" of Baghdad Bob, quite frankly. He's a good deal more amusing; lies less frequently... and, doubtless, was more of a credit to his chosen ranks, overall.

Granted, neither you nor I will ever teach English at the local college

How readily the ass brays its own manifest shortcomings... :)

well, I've fired all my ammo for now.

Ah. Hence the small puddle and the sour odor, then. No matter: we can always print up one of your postings and employ that for mopping-up purposes, as needed.

I'm thinking of two words. I think TaRAYza used them recently.

I believe the "little solider" most likely missed puberty... :)

You would think that with those new self-changing diaper/pants that they wouldn't get so rashed and irritable. Unless they're too complicated for him to use.

Be kind.

On second thought, why. Keep it up.
