Perhaps it will work out

I have two friends who told me at dinner last night that because of the health care debacle, they will for the first time vote straight Republican in November. And one of them told me his friend is going to do the same.

suggest to them to listen to the person instead of the letter by their name. might just be voting in the same problem, but at a shamble instead of a sprint.

I knew this would be the response. You know, I am so tired of this line of reasoning. Did you not know that every Republican Congress-person voted against the bill?

No, they are not perfect. But they are by far the most electable group we Conservatives have, and they are light years better than the Dems. Why not try uniting and getting rid of these Dem losers for a change, instead of trying to be mavericks and demanding everything be your way?

I fully agree. Best to vote the lesser of the two evils and then work on getting another lesser followed by another and so on. eventually you run out of evils and get good people. I would love to see the house full of independent conservatives, but I'll settle for a house full of republicans.

Perhaps Satan's minions are having a snowball fight in hell?

Keep in mind, we are depending on the morons who elected Obama.

The best strategy is to hope for the best while preparing for the worst.

For what it's worth, which may not amount to a hill of beans, I plan on voting indep. I'm sick and tired of the demopubs. Enough is enough.....How many times does one have to be kicked in the teeth and held down before it finally sinks in that they are out for themselves and their agendas? These two parties have had a high old time over the last couple of decades with their bullpucky ways which has meant to do harm to America.....they are snakes slithering their way around and their very presence is repulsive.....

yah... I was real demanding there....i should learn to hold my tongue a bit better. where in the hell did you get all that. I was tlaking about them voting repub and listening to what they say instead of seeing a D and going for it. Jesus Christ Abbey.

THEY ALL VOTED AGAINST! gee.. i guess i missed that in all the news that kept saying it... and gee golly willikers... that makes them ok! Yah and so did some Dems.. that mean keep them in office too? so sorry for making a suggestion of something new and scary instead of what has been happing for a while. Vote them, at least they aren't this. yah. that has worked out great for us. Way to bite my head off over nothing.

And maybe they are just the most electable group right now. you don't know who will be up later. Just because I say 'listen to what they say' makes me go against being united? Heaven forbid. I want a new Conservative in there, not one that has been in there since before I was born.

But that is exactly what didn't happen. Obama won because a lot of people sat out the last election.

Voting Republican wont help if there are progressive Republicans on the ticket.

And yet some of those very "progressive" Republicans voted against the health care bill. As I said above, they may not be where we want them exactly, but at least they aren't moving us towards Socialism. I'll take any Republican who knows enough to vote against that over an un-electable independent or libertarian any day of the week.

It is the people who are unhappy with the Republicans that helped bring us the people in office now. Hope you are all happy now.

If someone like that runs, then great. But in the meantime, your original post sounds like those that care more about complaining about Republicans than getting liberals out of office. I think people like that affected the last elections. If I start hearing this tune again next November, after what happened today, I will really lose it. I am sure that nothing makes liberals happier than to see us turning on our own.

I had hoped that after today's events, conservatives would finally unite, but I guess not.

I have no issue with them. They voted as I expected them to.

"It is the people who are unhappy with the Republicans that helped bring us the people in office now. Hope you are all happy now."

The Republicans created their own demise. If they had put controls on Bush, held him to being a "True Conservative" maybe we would be in the spot were are today.

Obama got into office because the Republicans gave the people a reason to elect him over another Republican.
