and for those of your who failed to vote last time or voted so as to teach the errant republicans a lesson - what did you expect from these jokers you put into office????
Democrats aren’t happy until we’re all equally miserable.
Sometimes sacrifices must be made to keep our elected officials in check. If they act like a bunch of spineless liberal weenies and put up the same for election we have the duty to express our dislike at the polls. I’d rather take a step back to take two steps forward in the next cycle.
You can’t blame the Republican base when the party refuses to stick to it’s core fiscal principles.
The same thing will be repeated if they stay home, or vote for a third party candidate who doesn’t have a chance. Just because they don’t like our nominee.
“and for those of your who failed to vote last time or voted so as to teach the errant republicans a lesson - what did you expect from these jokers you put into office?”
We have a two party system. Any third part is a waste of time. We need to work to improve the party of our choice. Dem’s are frothing at the mouth to send trillions of dollars in tax increases our way. No thank you!
Enjoying beating that dead horse, are you?
Please list all of the substantive legislation the Dim majority has passed and gotten signed into law during this session of Congress.
Let’s see exactly how bad it’s been. Here, I’ll start the list for you:
1)
There was a REASON why all those people stayed home. Most of them were not freepers, either. I went out and voted, and so did most freepers, I’m sure.
But the average social conservative stayed home because the Republicans spent two years kicking him in the teeth. Are you surprised?
There was a long history in modern times of Evangelicals not voting, because they figured it was hopeless, and their true home was in heaven. Jerry Falwell and others managed to turn that around, and persuade Evangelicals that they are sojourners in the Earthly City, as Augustine called it, as well as citizens of the Heavenly City, and that they owed the country their concern and support as long as that was possible.
In two years, the Republicans kicked that support away. It would be more productive to think about why it was kicked away, and what could be done to start fixing the problem, than to curse the folks who stayed home because they were too discouraged to vote.
No point yelling at us, we voted. But we said that a lot of people probably wouldn’t, because of the stupidity of the Republican leadership (not Bush so much as his advisers and congressional leaders), and unfortunately that proved to be right.
If the party fails to get it this time, and nominates someone like Giuliani, then the damage will be completed, and the party destroyed. You can’t win elections if you keep screwing your own base.
Could you please post verifiable stats to back up your statement.
Amen!!!
