The election is now only a month away. FreeRepublic blindly backs Republicans regardless of issues or the Republican platform. FreeRepublic and the Republicans expect conservatives to prefer Republicans, if nothing else, because Republicans are the lesser of two socialists. The Emperor has no clothes, and faced with a socialist or a clone, Democratic voters will have no trouble picking the real thing. Conservatives willing to demand a real choice have other options.
The "boomers" will start reaching Social Security's retirement age in October 2008. By 2012, Social Security will become cash flow negative. There are no (none; zero; nada) assets in the so-called Social Security Trust Fund. The intruments in this so-called "trust fund", at best represent promises that Congress will raise taxes, cut benefits or both sufficiently to bring Social Security back into cash flow equilibrium. Political rhetoric and political reality differ. We have all heard the derivative debate regarding counter party risk and the risk of off balance sheet accounting typified by Enron. Social Security and its so-called "trust fund" encompasses the very worst features of both counter party risk and off balance sheet liabilities. Social Security makes Enron, Worldcom, and Global Crossing look good in the off balance sheet accounting department. And Social Security makes JPM and Long Term Capital Management look good in the counter party risk department. All of the financial catastrophes that have come to the United States in our 200 year history have been linear events. If we deal with the impending Social Security crisis within the next five years using the complete voluntary privatization of SS using the Chilean model of the Cato Foundation Plan, the crisis can be contained and kept linear. If we wait longer than five years to completely privatize SS or leave SS under government control, SS becomes a non-linear event with derivative implosion a certainty. It is not financially or politically possible to fund the unfunded liabilities of Social Security much beyond 2012. Politicians will address this problem by destroying the full faith and credit of the United States or by destroying our currency or both.
Speaking as a retired physician, it is not possible to fund the unfunded liabilities of Medicare. Medicare becomes cash flow negative in 2008, well before the "boomers" become eligible for Medicare beginning in 2011. The unfunded liabilities of these two programs are too large to fund through payroll taxes alone. And these liabilities are too large to fund through combinations of benefit cuts or income tax increases. All Americans are over taxed. Government has become a monolithic vulture crippling every American family. It must end now before American families are bled dry.
Every democracy in history has ended in bankruptcy. When the Democratic Party subverted the Constitution, and turned the United States into a serfdom based on socialism, it was necessary to democratize our republic. They succeeded in spades. In order to fund the unfundable, it will be necessary for the government of the United States, no matter whether controlled by Democrats or Republicans, to borrow to or beyond the limits of our credit, to print dollar bills in an unending inflationary spiral until the dollar is worthless and the United States and almost all of its citizens are bankrupt. And this reality will come to pass before there is a presidential election in 2016. All democracies in recorded history end in bankruptcy and so will ours. This is absolutely predictable and if we act now, preventable. We must restore our Constitutional Republic before it becomes too late shortly after the end of the current decade.
Democrats paved the road to socialism in 1936. That road goes off a cliff somewhere between 2012 and 2016. There is a fork in the road to the RIGHT dead ahead. This road offers the only realistic way to avoid the collapse and disintegration of the United States and the only chance to restore freedom and Constitutional law to the first country to realize these dreams or to the people from whom they have been stolen. If FreeRepublic will take the right fork, the Republicans will follow.
I do not want to mislead you into believing that enough Americans will follow the Republican lead. We have seen three clear elections where this is true. Ronald Reagan won two landslide elections running on a strong conservative Constitutional agenda. The Contract with America was a landslide success and gave Republicans control of Congress for the first time in most voters' voting lifetimes. But make no mistake, there are large numbers of Americans now addicted to socialism and serfdom. And this group of Americans is determined to impose slavery on the rest of us. Socialism spawns the unproductive and/or the weakly productive. It penalizes the productive. It is unrealistic to believe the myth that the people of this country are united. Study the map of the 2000election if you have any doubts. I am no longer willing to allow Democrats to impose their socialistic programs on me or my family. If we cannot defeat socialism with ballots, then let them have their own country and run it as they see fit. I intend to excercise my God-given rights and secede if there are sufficient like-minded souls. If not, I will simply leave and find another country that is willing to respect my freedom and the God-given rights of its citizens. And if the Democrats and other socialists choose to interfere with my right to secede or my right to leave peacefully, their blood will be on their own hands. I can speak for no other man, but I am going to live free or am willing to risk death in the attempt. Who among you will join me in demanding the return of our freedom? I am no longer willing to vote for a lesser tyranny. I invite all conservative freedom loving Americans to join me. The battle for freedom doesn't take campaign contributions nor does it require taking to the streets. All it requires is the quite determination to cast your votes only for candidates willing to act to restore the Constitutional rights that we have already lost.
Mr. President and Members of the Republican Caucuses of Congress: Read My Lips; No More Socialism!
The terms for winning conservative votes are simple and reasonable. I believe Republicans need conservative votes in order to win elections. I am a conservative voter. Every part of my heart, body and soul wants to vote for you. But whole generations of Republican candidates have let freedom and our people down. No More! If you want my vote,
We have a choice to make in every election. We the people of the United States have fewer than five elections in which we can choose to save the legacy given to us by the Founding Fathers. I am going to cast the four votes that I have left within the time frame while it is still possible to make a difference for the Reagan Renaissance. Blindly voting Republican as the lesser of two tyrannies preserves the serfdom of our citizens and maintains the downward spiral of the Social Security sewer until bankruptcy blessedly ends our suffering and slavery.
I hope every Freeper will think carefully before they choose.

And what country would that be? As far down the road to socialism as we are, the US is it. I would love to have a conservative congress. But that is not possible now. Read the polls. In the real world, a Republican congress is way better than a Dem congress.
Those who say we should just let the Dems run the country into the ground and then pick up the pieces are dreaming. The endgame to that mugs game is not a restored Republic but a South American style despot.
So VOTE REPUBLICAN. A straight ticket. Slow down the march to despotism and then teach your and your friend's children well.
If you think you have all the answers, run for office yourself.
VOTE REPUBLICAN.
It would be my hope that you would vote a straight pary ticket and hold your nose if you must.
We need a plurality in congress to stop the democrat machine. We need much more than we presently have in the house to avoid costly compromises! That is what is happening now. We are not dealing from a position of strength!
And you ignore the fact that there are more conservatives in the Republican party than some care to admit that have become dissatisfied with who the national party endorses for office. I used to vote straight Republican ticket every election. Now I do not, at least at the local level. In some of our local elections the Democrats are more conservative than the Republicans. Strange but true.
So my decision this year is to vote for the Republican candidate for Senate or not vote at all. I will not vote for the Democratic candidate. But I'm not sure I can honestly vote my conscience by voting for someone who on most issues I strongly disagree
Henry David Thoreau didn't need a crowd to do that. Why do you? Just find your own little pond.
Point is, that most here aren't blind, contrary to your rantings.
And in most cases, the GOP candidates in various races are better than the Democratic or Libertarian or Tax Reform party candidate. Most of agree on this point. You, obviously, do not.
Perhaps if you amended your message to not voting blindly, period, you'd get a better response.
Spot on. The former are in great attendance here.
Will you be pleased if your vote helps elect Jim Jeffords?
