Great message to conservatives who have been hoodwinked into voting Republican while Republicans become Democrats and Democrats become even more rabid socialist nutbags:

Just walk away.

And people wonder how we got to this point, a choice between Obama or McCain, a socialist or a moderate socialist? Ever since Reagan, the Republicans, specifically the “conservative” branch of the party, has sold its soul in order to save what little they have left in terms of representation by the Republican candidates. “Conservatives” have been weak-minded, short-sighted, and, frankly, cowardly in regards to standing up for their beliefs. “Conservatives” (I have a hard time finding the meaning of the term anymore- even McCain claims to be one) have done themselves no favors by consistently voting for the “lesser of two evils” in the past 5 elections. We wonder why McCain won’t listen to the “base”? Have you ever thought that he realizes, with good reason, that he doesn’t have to do so? Why should he? He already has your vote. What else does he need from you? So what, you’re pissed off? Why should he care if you’re pissed off if he still gets your vote? “Conservatives” have been weak in not demanding that Republican candidates stand for their principles or else they won’t vote for them. “Conservatives” have lacked any vision by thinking that things would somehow get better by continually giving their blind support to those who don’t support their ideals. “Conservatives” have been cowardly by fearing the loss of what little they have in terms of political representation have rather than trying to win. So this election day, whether anyone else stands with me or not, I’m doing my part to say “That is the last straw” to the Republican party by voting for a third party candidate. Some may say, “oh, well you’re giving your vote to Obama.” No, my vote is going to someone who shares my ideals, something of which neither Obama nor McCain have any apparent understanding.

“Woe to the many for the sake of the few” holds weight for more than just individuals and families.

That seems to be the gov’t motto these days. Look at voter ID. What seems to be common sense is not enacted because 20 people might be “disenfranchised”. Or common sense measures to control illegal immigraiton are pushed aside because potentially 1% of the population might be impacted negatively. Almost every decision we make is now based on using the exception rather than the rule. All these measures would benefit the majority and our country, but common sense takes a back seat to PC. As I have said before, our system of gov’t has become “rule by the majority for the benefit of the minority”.

And for those who think that we are having a ‘conservative’ revolution in the GOP – just look at the current nominee for president.

Perhaps I should have said a revolution amongst the base…not the party…the party is over.

John Ansell,

the last sentence reads:

“A San Francisco judge approved the preliminary deal last week. Under the agreement, each bracero is eligible for about $3,500 from the Mexican government.”

The money comes from the Mexican government, not the U.S.

He then used “equity” based on the housing bubble to renovate the home, buy a jet ski, and take a cruise.

So, he’s too disabled to work, but he can ride a jet ski?

I pay my mortgage and my other bills because I undertook the obligation to do so. It’s something that the Wall Streeters, the bailouters, and the ACORNholers wouldn’t understand; it’s called “Duty. Honor. Country.” I’ll stop driving my new truck altogether or sell it if I must and just ride my 100 MPG motorscooter or ride my bicycle to work before I fail to pay a just debt.

Chumps are people who are foolish and whine about getting fooled.
