Socons are taking over,


Funniest post of the day. If the Socons are taking over, why is it that they only time they even get lip service is a couple weeks before the election.

Hillary pooped into my mind...

There's an abstract poem there somewhere.

[freedomfiter2]

You've misinterpreted the symbolism I intended. Do I need explain?


Sorry, I made a feeble attempt at humor. I agree whole heartedly with your point.

And the dwarves are the rest of the candidates.
Want to guess who Dopey is in my mind's eye? LOL

Conservatism is not dying, it is being defeated. We have no champion opposing socialism strong enough to win the battle. Politically the battle is lost. Republicans have evolved into a weak party of effete followers.

To be a conservative one must be aware of what a conservative is conserving. The 30 or so million illegal aliens do not. Not only are they fodder for socialism because of their total ignorance of self-government, economics, history, geography education, etc., they are immediately drafted into the Democrat party base.

I no longer think Conservatives can win because we are simply being outnumbered.

[R.W.Ratikal]

Don't get me wrong. I don't think we can win but I will never give up to socialism. I will keep right on opposing Democrats until they put me up against a wall.

The old lady with the poison apple (really the evil step mother) are the rinos, trying to get the conservatives to take a bite..."Go ahead, take a bite, all your dreams will come true." Lies, deceit, trickery, deception, death etc..

[F.J. Mitchell]

No, Conservatism is in fact being murdered by the MSM, liberal Dims and RINOs.But despite the fact that the previously mentioned Toxic Trio has tied granny knots in Conservatism's IV tubes and are ceaselessly pouring poison into it's feeding tubes, Conservatism still remains more healthy, morally,mentally and spiritually than those who plot to murder it.

Note to anti-American ,liberal and RINO conspirators: Don't start celebrating the death of Conservatism, Patriotism and Americanism, just yet.

[philman_36]

I'm impressed. Still, something else is missing.

"Once again, conservatism is being left for dead."

Perhaps by the Republican party leadership, it is. Among the population, it is strong.

[meyer]

Socons are taking over, which is their right.

Is there a glossary somewhere which gives a description of "socon"? I've got RINO down, and I'm pretty sure I know what a CINO is, but I have no idea what Socon stands for.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

PERFECT! That would solve the problem that working inside the beltway seems to cause. It must be the water.

[RetSignman]

There is only one man who can postpone the obituary of the Republican Party and he occupies the oval office. Everyday and with days to come we are being attacked without a word from the top.

Our leaders let the assault continue like terrified children and all we can do is watch, stunned and in disbelief.

No current Republican candidates have a chance of turning this around in time before the damage is permanent. President Bush is the only person who can stop this steady march towards the vast wilderness of irrelevancy.

Unless he acts with the full power of his office and with disregard of legacy we are destined to complete failure.

The fish rots from the head down.

[gathersnomoss]

The question should be "is socialism growing"? I say absolutely yes!

[mcshot]

Good material for a real "blues" song eh.
Our Repub leaders seem to be afraid of something or they just like to cower.

[A. Pole]

This article sidesteps the issue of what is going on with the conservative movement and just talks about the likelihood of another Republican president. Also, I love the ridiculous spectacle of the communist Time magazine opining on how conservatism has gone astray. Man, keep to your own party. Nobody's buying it.

Well said.

Well, seriously, you asked the wrong person if you want a quick happy ending to this mess of a fairy tale. I think the devil's gonna have his day (like a few years) for awhile before the One and Only Prince of Peace comes. There is a very evil prince coming I believe first. Many will be deceived by him. There is only one way to escape the evil, deception, death that will be ahead.
