But most people cannot understand this line of thinking.

Sad, but how very true.

[Dreagon]

The problem is that the social conservatives have put the party in power, and then watched the corporate conservatives get all their concerns acted on while the social cons are put on ignore until right before the next elections. Then come election time, the GOP waves the liberal boogeyman to try and drive us to the polls again.

This time it's just not working. Either satisfy us by November or you're gone.

Why is it that "experts" who don't even know this site exists are the ones who are always talking stupid shiite about conservatives abandoning the Republican party?



Angry? You bet! Stay home or vote rat? Not a chance. Contrary to what that famous jackass alan simpson said about us being the " Stupid Party", we are the party who has stupid ( Simpson Mazzoli ) people like him to average out the rest of us. We are the smart party. the rat's is the stupid and corrupt party.

The best place to start is probably with the Democrat party because it is so far into decline.

It certainly has the most socialists (communists) in its perverted ranks.

An aggressive foreign policy is what provides for a strong national defense.

Note: aggressive means that, if a regime is doing something that threatens our security, we give the U.N. a few months to solve the problem. If that useless body does not solve it, we solve it.

RE: your #7. Voting Republican has made a difference.

It has slowed down the rush towards socialism a bit. However, those brake pads are very thin.

[ecomcon]

Nothing like a straw man argument to put one's mind at ease. So I suppose the only "paleo" conservatives are Amish?

[colonel mosby]

The Republican Congress is so weak and spineless that they can't even get rid of the Death Tax.

It's time to completely clean house and start all over again.

[upchuck]

According to recent polls, conservative republicans are perplexed by the non-conservative actions of this president and the Republican-controlled Congress.

I for one am not perplexed or confused or bewildered. I AM PISSED! I know exactly what's going on. Most of our Republican leaders are to the left of me. And, IMHO, the only way this is gonna get fixed is through the ballot box.

[Ditter]

That is a seriously stupid threat.

[FreedomPoster]

Bingo.

[FerdieMurphy]

At least you'll be able to feel smug and superior.

Au contraire, mon ami.

(A bit of French lingo there to prove I bear no animosity towards little froggies.)

After eight exhausting years of the Dynamic Clinton Duo's perverted administration and despite the fact that I'd be gagging constantly, I'd vote for McCainiac before I'd vote for HRH Hitlery von Rottenham Klinton!

"BUSH brought the fight to the terrorists...would this have happened with Kerry in the White House? Absolutely not. Would Roberts be Chief Justice and Alito an associate justice on SCOTUS? I don't think so..."

Don't forget that the Brady bill wouldn't have been allowed to expire, state funded abortion and queer marriage would now be the law of the land, with 2 Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg clones added to the USSC.

Taxes would have been raised several times by now, rather than being cut.

You have ceased to make sense anymore.....actually you are entertaining....not much else i can say.

[FerdieMurphy]

The trite old sayings like:

"The Republicans could f--k up a steel ball with a rubber mallet," and

"Republicans continually snatch defeat from the jaws of victory." and

The DemocRATs crap in congress and sweep the mess under the rug held by obliging Republicans."

...somehow ring true these days.

Johnnie has a severe case of rectitus and is usually ignored.

[bkepley]

Pat Buchanan was the FIRST to say that the neocons had the long-range potential to destroy the GOP (even as it wins many elections). I think his first warnings pre-dated 1988. But most people cannot understand this line of thinking.

Aw ya had to go and ruin it. If Buchanan with his ethnic multi-culturalism insanity is a paleo then I'm no paleo.

[Beagle8U]

"The Republican Congress is so weak and spineless that they can't even get rid of the Death Tax."

TWO Republicans voted to keep the death tax, TWO.

All the RATS voted to keep it. Now what were you saying about throwing out the Republicans?

"As for this Paleocon, I am searching for a party that matches my "conscience." This is the one freedom citizens still have in this country — a citizen's privilege and responsibility to vote his or her "conscience." This old fossil takes this duty seriously."

I too am searching for a party truly representative of my core beliefs and that party is not the GOP. I may continue to support individual GOP candidates, but, as for the state and national organization - no thank you. Furthermore, I have been swayed back to the fold too many times in the past with grand campaign rhetoric only to be betrayed. Again, no thank you - not one more time. If the result is no different with a Republican majority verses a Democratic one, I will at least be true to my personal integrity with my support of a third party. I just have to find that party!
