A Message To My Republican/Conservative Party
Sitting out this election just because McCain is going to be our nominee is sheer stupidity! We still have the House and Senate to think of among other things.
Besides if the word's "President Elect-Clinton" or "President Elect-Obama" dont scare the absolute hell out of you, YOU have something wrong with YOU!
Staying home will be a Vote for Hillary, or Obama and God know's who in the House and Senate.
I am and alway's will be a FredHead, but he left me, then Romney left me, but did I leave the Republican Reservation? Hell No!! A True Republican/Conservative does'nt leave the reservation just because they didnt get thier perfect candidate!
McCain has done alot of things we ALL didnt approve of and we flat out called him out on and when it came to Amnesty, we got it stopped! ALL OF US.
He said in his speech (See Post Below) that he has heard us. And he swears he will consult with his own Republicans and Conservatives that will be surrounding him that know what WE want and how pissed off WE will get if HE does'nt listen to us.
And then there's the SCOTUS. He will appoint Conservative Judges, if Obama and/or Hillary are elected, they wont.
And then there is the War on Terror. Do we want to go back to a police action? Do we want to be atttacked repeatedly? Instead of confronting those that want to kill us and keep them busy somewhere else than here at home? Well Clinton nor Obama will, they will withdraw and Al-Qaeda will be able to set up a safe haven in Iraq and our Soldiers will have died in vein.
Does anybody really want that?
I'm just saying, I would rather have some kind of % Conservative then 0%

Good on you.
I understand some need a moment to "grieve" and collect themselves over the trauma; but, like you, I'm already eager to fire up the base.
I guess I started to see this moment coming, and already made peace with the notion that McCain could wind up the nominee.
I have quite a bit to post, but am afraid of turning off my blogbuddies, by posting them so soon. Many are still smarting.
Your so freakin pathetic it would be sad if it weren't so damn funny. OK I'll admit it. It's both sad and funny.
Word,
Thank You :-)
I guess I was done grieving after Fred left.
That was a hard one to get over.
But there is to much at stake here to have a pitty me party besides who will be President.
You're right, it's time to rally the base. But I guess maybe next week (Or so) they will be ready!
I am tired already of the whining, I hear these people calling Rush Limbaugh and saying they will sit out this election just because of McCain, that is idiotic to say the least!
McCain is our Nominee and we just have to live with it. And learn to cope with it. And move on and rally our ENTIRE Republican/Conservative base to VICTORY in 2008!
Anon,
Huck Off!

I was working an a Mitt fallout post, too. I'm going to cross-post this along with it.
Trek,
I forgot to send this to you for Red November.
If you want the entire code maybe in a different color let me know.
Great post. Here from Wordsmith. I agree completely. There is too much at stake this time. The wars, SCOTUS, taxes.
Welcome to my blog Karen,
I agree there is more than just President (As if that werent enough lol) at stake here.
Lord, we have to really think between now and November, and for me it sure wont be a Liberal or some nutball in there like Ron Paul.
Not with the issues you mentioned UGH!!
Oh I'll be showing up to vote in November Marie. There are School bored morons that need to be dumped. I'm going to run for Township Treasurer because nobody else wants to do the job.
As I said to you in my comments at my blog I live in a very conservative district in PA, probabably the most conservative in all of Pennsylvania. I'm going to vote for my congressman Joe Pitts and my State rep Art Hershey and I'm going to vote for me as Township Treasurer but the box next to President will contain no mark unless there is someone's name in it that someone doesn't have to hold a gun to my head to vote for.
Jenn,
I know you will show up at the polls, but I wish you would reconsider your vote for Prez.
Can you imagine what an Obama and/or/ Clinton Presidency would look like?
We can keep McCain in line, it will be a heck of a job but we can do it.
I feel more comfortable with McCain at the helm than with Hillary (Repeat Performance of her Husband), or (unexperienced) Obama at the helm.
We have alot more to consider than just the Presidency while we are at at war.
I know you will do the right thing :-)
Well said Marie, I agree 100 percent and I've been saying the exact same thing on my blogs for weeks.
You don’t like McCain. Okay, I get it. There is a lot not to like. And I agree with that..But this is getting not only unreasonable but it don’t make any sense. . McCain’s hatred is so extreme that folks aren’t even looking at the Democratic candidates carefully anymore. Did we forget the old saying "The lesser of two evils?"
There are some other essential issues in this election we will have to consider. I say the war and our National Security is the number one issue for me. .
If I’m dead all the other issues are meaningless. I think that this ganging up and bashing the candidate that is going to represent us in November is wrong.
You can yell and scream, and call him all the names that you want, but whether it's Hillary or Barack, the Democrats are huge favorites to win this election.
Bottom line is that he’s our candidate, and that just ain’t gonna change..Like it or not
Anyone but Hillary........or Bambi!
You know I agree with you, Marie. Unfortunately their are far too many who don't. They must not care whether our troops are pulled out of Iraq or not! I simply do not understand it. If we lose the general election it will be because of people like them. They say they are "sticking to their values." No... they are cutting and running because they can't have everything they want. I'm fast losing patience and may lose readers over this but I'm at the point where I don't care.
I'm going to run for Township Treasurer because nobody else wants to do the job.--Jenn
Okay. Leaving aside all political differences, I'd vote for Jenn. Why?
She's smart. She's got passion. She can win.
And I say this as a liberal.
Jenn--
Must I move to PA to support you?
:-)!
Whether the nominee is McCain or the Huckster, I'm staying home. Mostly because I vote absentee. Actually that's the only eason.
Joanne asked "Must I move to PA to support you?"
Thanks for your vote of confidence Joanne and yeah, ya have to be from my Township to vote for me. In this little town no one wants the job because it involves collecting and keeping track of the taxes collected. My answer to people is that we have to pay taxes to maintain our small but well maintained little town and I will make sure it all goes to the places the Supervisors and voters say it's supposed to go honestly and efficiently. I have no other stake in it other than to keep my little chunk of Pennsylvania as quiet and in control of the voters as possible.
Now, as far as McCain goes, my objection to him isn't about hate. It's about sending someone from the Republican party to the White House that will do nothing but bring division and discontent among conservatives. There is still the convention and McCain can still be stopped but there has to be a reasonable alternative. I have been observing the near insane behavior of John McCain for many years, too many years to just say "OK, I'm voting for him for President. The Clintons or Obama are not a reasonable substitute either but something has to be done before the convention in order to keep any of the three disastrous candidates from ever setting foot in the White other than being guests for dinner parties.
C'mon people think! We're Americans and can do anything, that's what I've been taught and that's how I live my life. It's up to all of us to do something about this horrible situation. McCain just lost 2 out of three races and barely won in liberal Washintington State. We have to THINK of something!
Last night, O’bambi kicked HerThighness's ass Pant Suit and all in all 3 States Nebraska, Washington, and Louisiana, not only did he win, but the the margin of victories were surprising very large, particularly in Nebraska and Washington, which offered the biggest amount of delegates. In both states, he captured 68 percent of the vote in caucuses, compared with. Clinton’s roughly 32 percent.
The ashtray and lamps are going to be flying high tonight!
I realize that everyone is happy and exuberant about the PIAPS getting beat. Yes, that's a good thing, but we still have to keep our eye on the prize. We could have our fun now, but we still have to win this thing. Whoever wins the nomination in that loony party must be defeated. I’m in a funny position myself, as much as I want Hillary to lose to O’Bambi, both of the two Moonbats have to be defeated in November.
Meanwhile, it’s wonderful to see Her Thighness in a panic and that my friends is music to my ears. So in my movement called ANYBODY BUT HILLARY join me to stop the Leftist socialists subversive attempt to ruin the America we all know and love.
So no matter who wins on the Dem's ticket We must beat them. If it's got to be McCain we have then so be it.
Marie: I hate to be the downer at this party. But the writing on the wall isn't pretty. The handful of conservatives who sat out 2006 will be joined by many more this year.
And it's not just my opionion, see the numbers who are energized to vote for the Dems and compare it to the numbers voting for GOP candidates:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/02/mccains_challenge_democrats_hu.html
Even if Ronald Reagan were reincarnated and run as McCain's VP I doubt it would change the dynamic much.
I'd like to see McCain try harder to win over conservatives, but one or two speeches promising that he's a conservative won't do it.
Well said Marie. We may not like McCain but we CANNOT allow Hillary/Obama ! If we sit on our hands and not vote that is exactely what we will get.
We are still the people and if McCain gets into office we can fight him like we did against amnesty and make our voice heard as we did then.
Does anyone think Hillary would even care what the people say ? NOT ON YOUR LIFE. She beleives she is the master and we are the slaves to be hearded like lambs to the slaughter inot Hillary's Socialized surrender and defeated America!
I agree with Mike. I don't trust McCain though I will vote for him over the current choices.
Rather than speeches, I need to see some concrete acts. In 2001, after I had voted for Gore, America was attacked four times in one day, and a new terrible day was upon us, George Bush asked me, asked all of us, to trust him. Two days of soul searching and I chose to grant him my trust and I have only been disappointed on small points at inconsequential times.
McCain has no immediate danger hanging over him like a Sword of Damocles, so his task is all the more difficult, but not impossible. I for one will not make it easy for McCain. When I am convinced by action and word, McCain will have my full support, no sooner.
I dont know what to do Marie..vote for McLame?..I dont think I can!
womanhonorthyself,
i say to you and everyone else to go vote even if it means writing in your choice.
writing in your choice serves three purposes
1. you vote as your conscious allows you to.
2. writing in your choice will have the same effect as a no vote would in the determination of the elections.
3. you will have participated in your government as the Constitution has allowed you to.
think of Iraq as you think about voting. the people considered it enough of a privilege to risk their very lives for. they voted under the threat of death.
Let Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Mark Levin and the rest of the talk show people do whatever they want to do. But if and when we we lose and we give White House to Hillary/Obama.
Don't then give us their BS about them because thy would have helped them get where they are.
Grow up and get a spine!

Over the weekend, President Bush said John McCain is a "true conservative."
dd2 said...Don't then give us their BS about them because thy would have helped them get where they are.
Those people are just the messengers dd2, it's the fault of the republican party for letting another senator up to bat merely because it's his turn. They haven't learned anything since Bob Dole. Senator Dole was a real hero and a respected honorable man but he just wasn't a national figure but it was his turn to run. McCain is going to lose to the Clintons, the liberal media was on that bandwagon from the start. We as republicans have every right and duty to point out to the republican leaders they are morons and moderates going along with the moderate approach. John McCain is going to lose because he's John McCain and he would do that without Rush, Ann, or Laura Ingram saying one word about it.
Man you guy's are making alot of good points here and I would love to get back in this discussion but I have my 2 youngest grandsons since SATURDAY!!
BABIES!!! UHG!!
JESUS PLEASE let thier parents come get thme today!!!
J_G, But at this time and date it is what it is. We can not change anything, we must not make it even worse than it is by allowing the Clinton's to use their trickery and get back in the White House for a third term.
Just take a look at what’s going on at my blog today, because I dared to say I’d support the parties choice no matter who it would be to keep the Clinton’s out!
Jenn,
I didnt read that part where you are running for office of Treasurer.
Good for you, I hope you win :-)
DD,
Like Word said in his first post maybe these folks need a little while to get over the "Trauma" lol
Gayle,
I think DD and I are going through the same darn thing. I think all tese folks need to calm down dang!
Indigo,
At least you are going to vote :-) Even absentee it counts!
Jenn,
C'mon people think! We're Americans and can do anything, that's what I've been taught and that's how I live my life. It's up to all of us to do something about this horrible situation. McCain just lost 2 out of three races and barely won in liberal Washintington State. We have to THINK of something!
If you come up with an idea Jenn, let me know :-)
DD,
The ashtray and lamps are going to be flying high tonight!
I dont know if we want this, Obama will be MUCH harder to beat! And say something happens to him, we are in for a serious racial war or something happening.
Mike,
No the writing on the wall is getting less pretty every day.
I have a really bad feeling about this entire election.
Ken,
All I can say is if Conservatives like the sound of President-Elect "Obama" or President-Elect "Clinton" then they better think about how we will ever recover from only 4 years of Liberal control.
Angel,
We need to think about this really think.
Griper,
Welcome to my blog,
You have the right idea.
We have the Troops most of all to think of in all this and SCOTUS, The House, The Senate Etc..
DD,
Not to mention 8 years of One Clinton who stripped our military to shreds.
Do we really want to re-live another Liberal administration as well as a Liberal Congress?
I DONT!!!
dd2 said...We can not change anything, we must not make it even worse than it is by allowing the Clinton's to use their trickery and get back in the White House for a third term.
At this atge dd2 we have no choice whether the Clintons will get another bite at the apple. The deal has been signed sealed and delivered with the McCain nomination. The only thing we can do now is hope we don't loose too many more seats in the house. The Senate is lost. All because the party leadership decided to let McCain have his turn to run. It's that simple.
You can talk about getting the people out to vote until your voice is horse and you're blue in the face. It's not going to change a thing unless we find a way to dump McCain.
oh yeah, don't get me wrong dd2, I'll be out voting for the conservative candidates in my districts. I'm even running to be Township Treasurer but I know that won't change the events that are about to besiege this nation. All I can tell you is make sure you buy some unregistered firearms and hide them good, they'll be coming for them the day after the Clintons get inaugurated. Just remember the guys that are responsible for the impending disaster. Republican moderates (McCain) and the big government activists or what Bill Kristol and his cronies like the Mainstreet Republicans termed for their disastrous strategy, "the new conservatism"
You know what?
I am almost ready to throw my hat in the ring for President!!
I am so sick of all this bickering I will envoke change alright but the democrats wont like it.
And I would have to pich Fred Thompson as my running mate, and deffinately Mike as my National security Advider and I'm sure I could find a post for all my freinds.
But we would be better off running this Country than anyone!
HOWS THAT?????
I dont know how to officially do this so yall help me out!!
I am going to run for President Damnit!!
Damn Marie, I'd volunteer to be your campaign manager for no pay. At least I know if we lost I could walk away feeling I worked my butt of for something I really believed in; a REAL conservative hardass.
Jenn,
Let's do this thing.
Of course you will get paid if I get any contributions or something lol
I am almost really serious!!
I am so damn tired of all the bickering I might as well run.
I dont have alot of experience but I could surround myself with people that do!!
Hell you could be my vice and Fred could take another position!
I have no idea how to even get started to do this so I will need help GF!!
Marie, first you must form an exploratory committee and if you raise over $5000.00 or declre youself a candidate then you have to register as a candidate within 15 days of that declaration.
Candidate registration Form Next you have file a Statement of Organization form so you can raise money. You have to name the organization and designate a specific Treasurer (they pop up everywhere huh?)
Now that you've done all that then all you have to do is raise some money go out and camapign, talk the real straight talk out of the front of you mouth and win the elction. Pretty simple stuff eh?
Jenn,
I was all gung ho about this last night, but this all sounds like to much work lol
Let's think of another plan that doesnt involve all this mess lol
The primary is the recruitment. You go to war with the Army you have. McCain is that army. McCain was a battle against liberalism. We lost. Obama and Clinton is the war. Sometimes you have to go to war with officers you hate. I HAVE. I bow to no one in my disdain for McCain. But I'll be damned if I let the sacrifices of our military in the GWOT be in vain because I didn't do everything I could to stop those two from becoming President. McCain sucks as a conservative. The Democratic duo HATE US AND EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR. You think that the liberals will get the blame for screwing anything up? WHEN HAVE THEY EVER GOTTEN THE BLAME FOR ANYTHING? When the GOP screws up, its the conservatives fault. When the liberals screw up, its America's and the conservatives fault. Its our fault because we didn't go along......
I don't care if you do it drunk, drugged, or dead, but don't let the democrats get in office.
Cargo,
Thank You,
That's what I have been saying :
If the sound of President-Elect "Obama" Or President-Elect "Clinton" sounds real good to yall the day after election day, by all means write in a candidate, vote for someone that has no chance of winning, or just stay home.
Because that's exactly what's going to happen!
A note to all those disenfranchised conservatives wh have decided to sit it out this November on how to deal with your grief, ........just close your eyes and vision President Barack Obama or President Hillary Clinton sitting in that Oval Office chair. And then say to your self,........ But, but, but how about that "McCain-Feingold legislation"
The election is going to be about the Dems telling you how fast they will pull out our troops, but is that the right thing to do? What the Republicans needs to do, and is doing, is rally behind McCain if they are going to stand a chance of winning this thing.
If by some miracle Clinton gets nomination, and I'm not at all counting her out yet, not by a long shot. McCain will probably win. Against Obama it will be a tougher race for McCain but in the end McCain has his record as a war hero, long standing Senator and a man of integrity (and YES as far as a politician’s go, he has integrity), Obama, while being a terrific orator comes across as arrogant and is easily goaded into responding to opponents with awful off-the-cuff sound bites.
Also based on his questionable real estate dealings that he called a bonehead mistake will tarnish his walk-on-water image. The Democrats know how to put doubt and fear into your heads...And that’s exactly what we see them doing right now.
Look at that 3:00AM ad.
And McCain is a hard-liner with regard to Iraq. He was always for the troop surge in Iraq, which has been tremendously successful. On the other hand, Obama, by contrast, has campaigned as the only Democrat who was anti-war from the beginning. He pledges to remove all U.S. troops from Iraq within 6 months of entering office. There are many of us including myself that think this will be a big disaster as well as anti-American.
Ask any of our BRAVE men and women that are serving right now, about how they feel about it. Ask them about how they feel every time the Libs threaten to cut off their funds!. Ask me how I feel about it.
I wish that Ann Coulter would shut up. She’s an embarrassment. Ann Coulter has become irrelevant, and ludicrous. She claims that Hillary and Obama are both more conservative than he is...
On judges, abortion, same sex marriage, taxes, health care, the war in Iraq, McCain is just as conservative than many of the others that were running against him. It's ludicrous to think otherwise.
After the Message we have been seeing from Obama and his Pastor we have a lot to think about.
Your Message is a very important one.
1. we can not have a President Hillary
2. I think that a President Obama is even worsr.
Thank you for an excellent blog.
