I won’t condemn those who do...I will not NOT vote. I won’t condemn those who do. But neither will I buy into the idea that we can “send a message” to Washington by such a tactic.<BR/><BR/>When the Bush and the Repubs screwed their base these last few years, the voters sure sent them a message. But what message did America send, and just as importantly, what message was received? <BR/><BR/>I believe the message sent to the Republican party was that we’re tired of you acting like democrats. The vehicle for the message was the huge number of conservatives who stayed home on election day, with the inevitable result that the socialist democrats now reign over Washington and the nation in general. <BR/><BR/>Now what message was received? This is the most important question of all. The Dems and their media lackeys crow loud and long they’ve been given the green light by America to pursue their socialist policies to the fullest. Well who cares what those bastards think or say right? They weren’t the recipients of “the message”. They were merely the beneficiaries of it. But the intended recipients didn’t get it right either. And they STILL don’t get it. Look at the way Palin has excited the electorate out in the fly-over country. It isn’t because she’s a woman, or because she’s an outsider. It’s because she’s the closest thing to a conservative we’ve seen in a long time. Yet the Republican party is still quivering like so much jelly in face of a vociferous assault on Palin.<BR/><BR/>Instead of embracing their conservative base and making amends for acting like RINOs, the they’re still groveling, tail-tucking and trying to out democrat the Democrats. So they didn’t get the message we sent. Now we are gonna pay for this terrible miscommunication.<BR/><BR/>We failed to get a conservative candidate on the ballot. There’s no turning back the clock with a “do over”. All we can do is take the correct course going forward because there’s no changing the past. There IS learning from the past however. Half of McCain’s policies suck. ALL of Obama’s do! I say we elect John, and hope he dies early. Palin seems to have some conservative tendencies. Is she perfect? No…but if you’re waiting for perfect, you missed it by 2,000 years. <BR/><BR/>This business of sending a message by not voting just ain’t getting us anywhere. I’ll not be a party to electing that closet raghead and his socialist / Marxist policies. And standing by and allowing that evil charlatan to get elected doesn’t make my precious principles feel any better.GunRights4UShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830687524291663778noreply@blogger.com
