Thank you for giving us blanket amnesty for illegals.
Thank you for courageously abandoning our troops.
Thank you for handing victory to the terrorists.
Thank you for guaranteeing higher taxes.
Thank you for guaranteeing no more conservative judges.
Thank you for empowering John McCain.
Thank you for bringing back universal health care.
Thank you for endless investigations.
Most of all, I want to thank you for showing complete disregard for the tens of thousands who spilled their blood to give you your right to vote.
Your callous, self-serving apathy has guaranteed the government actions that you so bitterly complained about.
A final reality check to all you non-voters who still call your self conservative:
You are not a conservative.
You define un-American.
You define un-patriotic.
Please stop pretending to care about the troops.
To all you people who actually voted.
Thank you for defending our Constitution.
I did, I voted for Arnold, because the alternative was a sniveling Dem.
Oh well, time for some new voters, I guess. /sarc
Okay then, plenty of good conservatives lost in the election but we dare not blame the voters who didn't vote for these conservatives. /sarc
You want to thank someone for losing?
First, look at the White House. Then look in the mirror.
New York Republicans....yea....like there is such a thing.
L
Beware of flames, even if I agree with 90 percent of your sentiment.
4 good conservative Senators and 19 good conservative House members gone... they were "fired" and that sends what message?
Maybe they are accusations from the open-border Country Club Republicans now on a guilt trip
Good for you!
It's simple. I have NO RESPECT for "spite voters." NONE.
And those who complain yet do not vote AT ALL? Pfffftttt...!!!
Go to the White house and thank the smirking chimp himself for that one. It was a done deal before this election. He would not listen to anyone on this matter. If you think he was going to limit immigration I have a bridge in NYC to sell.
Thank you for courageously abandoning our troops.
Thank both parties of congress for sending them into a war with one hand tied behind their back. Thank the smirking chimp for turning Iraq from what should have strictly been a military mission to a state department boondoggle and nation building project of which there can be no good outcome in the next two decades if not centuries.
Personally I'd like to see the troops have their military victory A.S.A.P. with Iraq no longer capable of fighting anyone for the next several decades. BTW it was Poppy Bush people who abandoned vets with Gulf War Syndrome remember? No those alarms didn't go off no sir.
Thank you for handing victory to the terrorists.
Every time an American Citizen is nearly strip seacrched to board a plane that is a terrorist victory. Think about it. The ultimate weapon against terrorism is well armed citizens and some good old fashioned profiling along with limited and strictly controlled Immigration policies. None of these are supported by either party nor POTUS.
Thank you for guaranteeing higher taxes.
Thank both parties. Both were on a pork spending spree unseen since LBJ's Great Society and again the smirking chimp has yet to learn to spell VETO.
Thank you for guaranteeing no more conservative judges.
Yea with either Scottish Law Spector or Orrin Hatch being on the Judiciary committee as chairmen? Remember some in here wanted to nominate Orrin Hatch for USSC?
Thank you for empowering John McCain.
Still haven't figured it out yet have you? McCain has been W's pack horse for a lot of bad legislation and dirty work against the conservative agenda. Did Bush VETO any of it? Did the GOP house and senate tell John no?
Thank you for bringing back universal health care.
Thank Bill Frist the Hillary Care shill. He got his so called Medicare reform ideas from the Hillary Care handbook used in his home state.
Thank you for endless investigations.
And who has something to hide? THAT IS THE DUTY OF CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE. IF they actually did it then it would likely be the first time in 8 years they actually did their Constitutional duty. No never mind the hose did in the Clinton impeachment but the Hero RINO's 10 in all voted not guilty. Most of them are still in office. Most of the House managers are not. Fine lets investigate them all.
A final reality check to all you non-voters who still call your self conservative: You are not a conservative. You define un-American. You define unpatriotic. Please stop pretending to care about the troops.
Well my idea of Conservative is not yours. Many like myself voted but left certain races blank in protest. That is not Un-American that is a protest vote which is counted. Unpatriotic is supporting candidates so pathetic you know they are unworthy and unqualified for office but vote for them anyway all in the name of a corrupt controlling two political party system which is a slap in the face to the Constitution as well.
Our congress of the United States abandoned our troops and I will prove it. Why are we at war on a U.N. Resolution laden declaration? It is not the function of congress to enforce U.N. Resolutions much less declare war over such. No their duty is to declare war strictly over the direct national interest of the United States. They abandoned them by sending troops into combat with Slick Willies 1996 troop strengths. It is the Constitutional duty of congress to raise money and provide for the common defense. They declared a war and kept a peace time manpower and equipment budget. They abandoned them by using insane rules of engagement of which the enemy delights in using to escape or to trap our troops.
Abandoning our troops is what congress did when it took every single history lesson on our wars from 1776-1945 and tossed them out the window for failed kinder and gentler wars and we have yet to win under such terms.
If I hear about the innocents in Iraq one more time I'll barf. You tell me how much William Sherman cared about the innocents in Dixie on his march to the sea? These nations have been at war with each other for several thousands of years and factions withing those nations as well. We will not change them or their culture but we can in a military way limit their capabilities to spread their war and that I do support. I do not support nation building period.
I'm sick and tired of college educated elitist who have been brainwashed by Cultural Marxist that have some how some way made every enemy we have faced since Korea an innocent people and call them a victim of their government. Well they let them come to power to start with. If they want democracy they can follow our example and win it themselves.
Supporting the troops is demanding congress do it's Constitutional duty and return to a military posture and mission in Iraq. In that regard meaning level every infrastructure capable of being converted to military use. Do this so that in less than 10 years from now when the next thug Dictator the Clerics put in power he won't have anything but rocks to fight with. Fight the war as if the future of the free world depends on it. We do not have the time nor the resources to build democracies in the M.E. nor should we engage in such as that in itself is unconstitutional.
Who is to blame for November 7? Well ultimately it is you, me, the guy down the street. You see the task of checks and balances also belongs to us. We elect our congress. If we vote for the least corrupt we still get corrupt leadership. I laugh at the ones posting cursing the MSM yet as soon as the MSM announces via their polls Canidate Liberal is the GOP electable they jump on the party bandwagon. They hate the MSM yet will vote exactly as they are told each and every single time. You have a choice. Media endorsed Liberal GOP or media endorsed Liberal DEM.
Most of all you can thank Bush and the RNC for helping to end virtually any chance in the past 6 years of a lot of conservatives getting elected in winnable races. There always seemed to be a Moderate/Liberal Bush Family Friend to support instead. If they lost the primary Bush lost interest in the general election. The man is a Johnson Democrat with an R after his name. Good grief I kid you not I read last night one poster saying what a great POTUS LBJ was. And such as these call themselves Republicans? There is the problem.
"I voted for the party who's gonna send the Marine Corps to close the border, yesterday.
I voted for the party who will immediately halt the American Über Holocaust on the unborn, 40 million murdered since '73.
I voted for the party who's for small government, a balanced budget, American autarchy, and an end to the ???billion trade deficit with the ChiComs.
I voted for the party who's gonna tell the truth about Oklahoma City, TWA flight 800, Able Danger, and just what Sandy Burglar stuffed down his skivvies."
--- Governor Ronald Reagan, Speech, Oct. 15, 1974.
Assuming some large number of the voters haven't been converted to radioactive fallout by then.
George W. Bush suffered the worst Congressional defeat by a Republican President since Herbert Hoover in the 1932 election. Bush ignored his conservative base and the GOP paid the price at the polls on November 7th. The Democrats are back in power thanks to the poor leadership of Dubya.
"There is only one way to make government bite the bullet .... on all those things that should be a matter of concern. And that is to hold all elected officials accountable. Match their performance with their promises, and if you find some who don't measure up, vote them out of office.
--- Governor Ronald Reagan, Speech, Oct. 15, 1974.
No DemonRat can manage that. Remember GG Liddy's advice when they come for your guns: "two to the body and one to the head".
The Constitution itself allows for the suspension of the right of Habeas Corpus. It was suspended by Lincoln during the Civil War.
Besides,non citizen enemy combatants do not have a right of habeas corpus, they have a right to set in a prison camp until the end of hostilities, or be tried for war crimes and hung.
You are all WRONG! It was about the war in Iraq! The average American could care less about those Sunni's and Shiites. They don't understand Methodists and Presbetarians, and don't really want too, let alone Muslim details and nuances. "Get our boys home NOW! Why should one of our kids die for those stupid ragheads." This is the general sentiment.
I know, I talk to the public all the time. Iraq is a loser, bring the boys home is the average persons opinion.
I've supported the WOT and the Prez, but I agree with my son in Iraq, this is a civil war, let's go home.
Amen!
The democrats were eating the republicans alive before Nov 7th and there was no response from the GOP. The BEST republican political ads were banned by the GOP and were only on YouTube.
It's called political collateral damage. It s-cks when a whole party is fired cause the good guys suffer too.
In two years we will look back on this and understand why it happened and that it happened for a purpose. Does that mean I wanted it to turn out this way? No. It just means after election night I saw the results, I understood why, I was depressed, but I got over it. I accept it. And now I can see the silver lining. When the people of this country get a good taste of Nancy Pelosi and real liberalism, they will run back to the Republicans. The average voter had no idea who she was. But you and I know, don't we? We are the informed minority.
Republican Revolution II is coming.
Maybe that the republican leadership should participate in the next election and not depend on AM radio to do all the work?
I know a lot of people here in Virginia who found some excuse not to go vote on the 7th. It is disgusting!
