OK, let's see...
1) CFR
2) the "Patriot" Act
3)the Mediscare drug benefit, aka the "Bankrupt Generation X" Act
4) the "guest worker-illegal scumbag alien amnesty" plan
5) bleeding, gushing borders in the north and south, aka the invasion route
6) wildly expanded federal government which continues to grow
7) no expanded military or Border Patrol
8) thousands more federalized union employees
9) two new federal bureaucracies (TSA and DHS)
10) lukewarm support for the RKBA (if it weren't for Tom DeLay, we'd still have the Klinton gun ban)
11) lukewarm opposition to faggot marriages, faggot "civil unions", etc.
12) a Richie Cunningham "good guy" pursuit of the WOT, instead of a George Patton "grab 'em by the nose and kick 'em in the ass" approach that is sorely needed
13) Kennedy's "No Child Left Behind" Act
14) only one of his conservative judicial nominees on the bench, thanks to an recess appointment
15) and so on and so forth...
The GOP ain't listening now! If they're not listening to conservatives, why the hell should we vote for them? Because we have "nowhere else to go"? Horse hockey.
"And if we lose, then you're really out of luck."
I've been out of luck since the Pubbies became the "cave in party" back in '95. The Pubbies left me, not the other way around. Maybe if they manage to hold onto Congress, they'll remember where their spine and ba**s are and start offering some opposition to the Commies...nah, I forgot, the Pubbies have surrendered their ba**s to the polls and the lamestream media.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Maybe you should look for another party then. Just stop trying to tell the GOP what to do.
