"Bipartisanship" Is A Dirty Word; and RUSH: "We want to defeat them"
The logic that one continues to do the same thing, over and over, and expecting different results is of itself flawed logic.
How many years has this been going on? And how many of us have swallowed the "lesser of evils" B/S?
No ... many of us have seen the enemy. It is was us.
When Conservatives stick to principles the pendulum swings right!
Please, lets remind them of this when McHillary wants to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.
Hold onto your hat.
Threat??
>>>Had Kerry made the deal a little sweeter McCain would have run with him last time.
“” Newsweek November 5, 2004
Kerry’s courtship of Senator John McCain to be his running mate was longer-standing and more intense than previously reported. As far back as August 2003, Kerry had taken McCain to breakfast to sound him out to run on a unity ticket. McCain batted away the idea as not serious, but Kerry, after he wrapped up the nomination in March, went back after McCain a half-dozen more times.
“To show just how sincere he was, he made an outlandish offer,” Newsweek’s Thomas reports. “If McCain said yes he would expand the role of vice president to include secretary of Defense and the overall control of foreign policy. McCain exclaimed, ‘You’re out of your mind. I don’t even know if it’s constitutional, and it certainly wouldn’t sell.’”
Kerry was thwarted and furious. “”
So to summarize, Kerry offered McCain the VP, Secretary of State, AND Secretary of Defense roles. And McCain strongly campaigned for Bush instead. Just curious, what do you imagine would have been “sweeter” then the offer refused?
Exactly, voting for RINO's is what has gotten us to this point in history. Bigger Gov, Bigger spending, etc, etc......
“Democratic president can turn back our progress 25 years.”
And the leader of the gang of fourteen will stop that?
“just to take a principled stand?”
No, we’ll take Obama/Hillary just to save some resemblance of conservatism in the Republican party, to not have it associated with all the compromises McCain will make to be Ted’s coauthor on future bills. To not confuse a generation of young conservatives as to what conservatism is. To remind our media what conservatism is. To not give shelter to the Democrats for the series of social programs they’re sure to initiate, with or without McCain as president.
No, the reason we are where we are right now is the RNC establishment continues to put up RINOs and conservatives have had enough. Conservatives have not abandoned the party, the RINOs have.
When they say Rush and Sean dont matter, what they are really implying is WE dont matter. After all, it is because of the listeners that they have a voice and a job.
I couldn't agree more.
Like my children when they were growing up, many of of the electorate have very few "principles". They live in a "gimme" world.
Not to be "holier than thou", but it is up to Conservatives to be parents and run a loving, but tight ship.
Shuster never mattered.
I don’t bend over for him.
Absolutely correct! Just a few months ago there was NO way that Rudy could be beaten, he was THE nominee, by golly, by gum, and the MSM knew it in their bones—look how that changed almost overnight! The MSM is fickle and trying to run this election, and we can NOT let them usurp the Constitution and take our most important rights away from ‘we the people’!!!
>:-(
Keep the faith, people, God will send us the best conservative out there to win this important race (I keep praying!)...
McCain could just as well do the same thing.
We’ll have to hope Congress blocks it or the courts overturn it.
Thats why I said McHillary, they are one in the same.
Mostly the voters in the Republican primaries. Ever hear the saying “better the devil I know then the devil I don’t know.” I hear a lot of “I will take Hillary over Mc Cain”. Personally I have a hard time believing that, but it’s looking more and more like it could be Obama and not Hillary. Think about that. The most Liberal Senator in the U.S. Senate who also has the endorsement of moveon.org. Are conservatives going to sit back and let that guy get elected? Speaking as a father of two career servicemen, that idea scares me to death. Wake up and sniff the coffee conservatives. If you allow Obama to get elected, you might as well allow Bin Laden to get elected.
Good points.
