Christians should vote Republican
Why?

Many reasons, the easiest is that Republican judicial nominees will one day end the bogus "right" to unfettered abortions.

The killing of 40 million American babies, the most beautiful and innocent of our blessings, is abhorrent to me.

The truth hurts don't it cripplecreek?

No matter how many times you hear it, it won't change. The fact is that Hillary is worse by a factor of 10 than any Republican running for President.

You can whine about it all you want. If you sit out the election because your particular favorite is not in the running, you will be as responsible for electing Hillary of Edwards as any Demonrat who votes for them.

The article is drivel... the primary has not happened yet...

When it does happen, you will know who is the winner of the general election if Julie-Annie is the GOP nominee...

Maybe someday. Right now it still isn’t that big an issue in the public mind.

Here on FR, sure, but not among the general public. Those who ran in the last election as specifically anti-ilegal alien did not do all that well.

I would guess that no more than 10 to 20% of the population fits the Freeper profile. Face it, we’re a fringe group.

Nothing wrong with that in itself. So were the early proponents of American independence and the abolitionists. They didn’t win till they put together a coalition, which occurred in each case in the middle of a major war, which I’d prefer to avoid if possible.

Republicans are already 3rd partyish..
All thats remaining is to name it or even to identify it..
The only HARD republicans left are the lazy, delusional, those in denial, or apathetic..
O.k... O.K. there are a few BOTs left of various kinds...

Whats happened to the right wing is the mystery..
"They" are seething some where, extremely mad..
Probably Sandy Berger was the straw that broke the CAMELS BACK..
The camel jockeys are on their way.. the right wing is listening for the hoof beats..

Why? Want to leave it to your kids and grandkids???

Those wars happened because it was avoided too many times before.

And you'll be proud of allowing Hillary to take over the WH? I hope you have second thoughts about this.

Recently, I had a die hard claim to me that I would vote for Pol Pot for president if he were running as a Republican.

I pointed out that Pol Pot would be running as a Democrat but he wouldn't find the Republican to his liking and would allow Pol Pot to be elected.

Clinton was also elected due to a third-party candidate. Thanks, Ross and all those who foolishly voted for him.

Sometimes it's painful, but politicians do learn. Perot would not have existed as an real candidate until Bush 41 alienated his voting base by raising taxes and signing gun control.

Since Bush 41's reelection loss to the Arkansas grifter, very few Republicans have come out in favor of raising taxes or more gun control.

So you think Hillary Clinton will be somehow better, or even as good?

Yeah, I agree, why don't all of us conservatives just sit out the election completely and let the Liberal Democrats have their way? Why we could become France within 3years-four tops.

You're such a Utopian dreamer...just imagine life as a Frenchman, unemployed, socialized medicine, labor unions which control the state, immigrants as the majority...sounds like a Conservatives paradise...excuse me while I barf at your self-righteousness.

Fight it out in the primaries but then we're united in our desire to keep RATS from ruining our lives.

 It will be much easier to do that now that we've watched the Democrat cowards in action.  The Democrat reign of terror is about to come to an end.  Is it any wonder why people identifying  themselves as Democrats is the lowest in 10 years.

You forgot the arrogance of the GOP lapdogs. They lost an election and adopted every failed tactic the democrats had. They can’t sell a politician so they threaten with a democrat. People don’t agree so they try to ridicule them into agreement.

At this point I expect to hear them crying that the democrats stole the election when the GOP loses.

” The Democrat reign of terror is about to come to an end.”

LOL

What reign of terror is that? Eight months of controlling Congress? You cheapen history with such hysteria.

Yeah your a tough guy eh, you're not afraid of those Democrats. You don't need your guns, the government will take care of you. We need more BATFE agents, can't have Americans with guns, just ask Hillary.

You really are a self-righteous prig aren't you? A kind of "My way or the highway" type of guy...oops better rephrase that, "My way or the Democrat's way" type of guy.
,br />Brilliant!!!

They'll talk about conscience, as though there are no issues of conscience concerning the second-order consequences of their actions when they help a leftist win.

Yellow Dog Republicans will talk about "compromise" and "accommodation," much as Vidkun Quisling invoked the same principles when Hitler asked him to make nice. And they'll ignore the first-order consequences of their actions when they help a leftist -- albeit one with an "R" after his name -- win. Furthermore, they'll have the audacity to hint that God endorses their tepid candidates, despite the fact that Jesus exhorted His followers to act on principle, not expediency.

No, the RINO is a far greater enemy to conservatives than the liberal.

Timing your wars can be critical.

If America had struck for independence 20 years earlier, it would have failed miserably. Too few people in the country. 20 years later, and it wouldn’t really have been that much of a fight. Too many people and spread out too much to conquer.

If the South had seceded in 1850, they would have won. The infrastructure to support its conquest (mostly railroads and industry) wasn’t extensive enought yet, and the disproportion in potential power between the sections was much smaller. In 1870 the Union would have won much more easily, as the disproportion in potential power was that much greater.

I’m not sure what great issue, equivalent in importance to independence or slavery, you think we should fight another civil war over.
