“I’m think it has a lot to do with our two-party system, granite. The Republicans in question feel like they can count on their hardcore conservatives to vote for them regardless, while they shift left to woo the moderates, which many times slaps their conservative base square in the face.”

Correct.

I just am leery of multiple, splintered parties, and coalition governing.
My God, look at the ridiculous situation in Italy: nearly as many as, maybe more than, governments as years since WWII.
This happens in other countries, too; just no time right now to research specifically which ones.

“If our elected officials don’t get their collective heads out of the butts soon they may very well see the electorate press the reset button provide for in the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights under the 2nd Amendment. Enraged and betrayed voters is one standing militia they do no want to face.”

That’s been on my mind for more than a few months, if not for a few years.

John McCain has expressed opposition to gays serving in the military, and he appears to have given considerable thought to the subject:In an April 16 letter to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, McCain said, “I believe polarization of personnel…

the Republicans begin to resemble more and more the Democrats, to the point where they now appear barely different, and different only, and that’s a perhaps only, in degree; they certainly do NOT appear noticeably different in kind. The Republicans may be a bit different quantitatively from the Dems; but, they are qualitatively the SAME as the Dems.

I’m think it has a lot to do with our two-party system, granite. The Republicans in question feel like they can count on their hardcore conservatives to vote for them regardless, while they shift left to woo the moderates, which many times slaps their conservative base square in the face.

Good! GOOD!
Everyone needs to do this kind of thing! E-mail O’Reilly and Hannity. E-mail and call-in every conservative talk radio show host you can think of. The MSM is pushing McCain down everyone’s throats and this Hernandez revelation needs to be communicated though the loudest branches of conservative media.

Have another topic you want to e-mail or talk about? Save it for tomorrow. Today is the eve of the Florida primary and today is McCain/Hernandez day.

Get out the word – while there’s still time!

Stop McCain!

This amnesty crap from him is a travesty, and disqualifies him from being a true conservative. A spineless Republican, yes, but conservative, no. And he has too much company in Congress, on both sides of the aisle, sellouts that will barricade themselves in elite gated communities and let the rest of us fend for ourselves in the current invasion.

I have to vote, if for no other reason than to vote against Kerry, but my vote for Pres will go to Romney.

At least he tries to be a conservative.

For those of you considering sitting out this election if mcshammestity becomes the gop nominee; consider this:

Don’t worry too much gunslingerpatriot as a fellow veteran of 25 years active military service I will exercise the right I risked my life for too, but I will not vote for McCain should he be the nominee. The loudest message this retired and jaded SMSgt can give is “none of the above” as my write in candidate. I am reminded of the old poster we used to have in one of my flying squadrons the “last great act of defiance” with a field mice flipping off the hawk about to snatch him up in his talons.

Those elected to office no longer listen to or care about the wishes of the majority of this countries concern to enforce the rule of law over the open invasion from not just Mexico. We have plenty of illegal invaders from other 3rd world paradises I have had the misfortune to visit in my world travels and they also need to be shown the door to wait in line. Gives one a greater appreciation for the luxuries and freedoms most people take for granted in this country by seeing what others have to endure in life. If our elected officials don’t get their collective heads out of the butts soon they may very well see the electorate press the reset button provide for in the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights under the 2nd Amendment. Enraged and betrayed voters is one standing militia they do no want to face.

a) Is your country not worth fighting for that you would be willing to give up one of your most precious freedoms to vote?

b) Is not the sacrifice that me and my friends paid for in blood, sweat and death worth the cost of your vote?

c) Consider this then; if you don’t vote, then please don’t bother to exercise your other constitutional rights such as the First or Second Amendment. Its best to be silent and be thought of as a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.If you didn’t vote, then don’t complain!

By all means, get out and vote. My choice is between Roomney and Huckabee, and will even consider voting the candiate that most of the conservative bloggers are considering. (hint-Sean Hannity)
