Conservatives Must Vote
Don’t beleive the media hype about a Democratic blowout. It can only happen if Republicans and conservatives fail in their responsibility to vote. In Missouri, where I live and all across the nation, the battleground is on our turf. The house and senate seats up for grabs are Republican held which means they are ours to lose.
WHAT IS AT STAKE?
The war on terror is a war. It is being fought everyday in Iraq, Afghanistan and in dozens of other ways, both overtly and covertly, all around the globe. We are at war with Iran. Voting for Democratic control of congress won’t change Bush’s Iraq policy or how he is leading our country in the war on terror. What it will do is give the very unserious, hungry for power Democrats a better opportunity to battle our commander in cheif while he is fighting to protect our nation. Make no mistake. A Democratic takeover of congress will make the biggest front in the war on terror in Washington D.C.
The economy is booming. The stock market is at an all time high. Gas prices are lower and steady. Unemployment is at an all time low and the American job machine is creating more and more jobs. There is not a stronger economy in the entire world. Now I am a firm believer that governemnt doesn’t do a whole lot to affect the economy, but the two things that government can do….tax and regulate, are on the right path under Republican control. If you want higher taxes and more government attempts to try and solve your problems…vote for a Democrat, cause that’s what you’ll get.
From the 1950’s through the 1990’s, for more than 40 years, Democrats controlled congress. Think about that. Republicans have had control of congress for about 10 years. A shift back to Democratic controll of both houses could be with us for a long time. The Democrats are not grown up enough to lead this nation in these trouble times. Now more than ever we need a party of principle and conviction to steady us through the storm.
My challenge to all Republicans and conservatives is to vote on election day, vote your heart and your head and encourage everyone you know to vote too.
We’ll see you on the other side.

A lot of propoganda here, much to my surprise . . .
“unemployment at an all time low” - Obviously you don’t have facts to support that notion, because it simply isn’t true.
“gas prices are lower and steady” - they have been higher and more volatile in the last 3 years than in nearly any time in our history.
Additionally, you obviously look past the economic boom of the 1990’s in arguing the value of today’s tax and regulatory environment. We had higher taxes on the wealthy, more strict government regulation of business, and balanced budgets during Clinton’s years and the economy did extraordinarily well. It’s not just about the height of the stock market - it’s about the growth of that market over time. This market simply hasn’t grown at a meaningful rate over the past 6 years.
I admittedly haven’t combed through your site, but at a glance it seems to have the same rhetorical baseless lines that you hear from Hannity, Coulter, and Limbaugh.
By the way, without using fuzzy words and catchy phrases, can you use one of your posts to lay out your definition of a “win” in the war on terror?

I would like to remind all liberals to vote on November 8th

Good job reminding them of the date.

Emory,
Thanks for the reminder. Republicans too will no doubt turn out in throngs on Wednesday, November 8 to support the candidates of their choice. Wednesday, November 8, such an important day. Republicans, don’t let your team down - mark your calanders and show up, Wednesday November 8, and vote for the status quo. Bush needs a congress that is not interested in oversight or helping him make good decisions - the rubber stampers. November 8, put the most unpopular congress in history back in office. Otherwise the most unpopular president and vice president in history will have to answer to congress, the way the founding fathers intended for our government to actually work.

Bush and the republicans did lower taxes by billions while raising the debt by trillions (debt is a massive tax on my children, by the way). They started a war in Iraq and now watch helplessly as pure iraqi on iraqi violence consumes that country. There are tiny numbers of international terrorists in Iraq (if any at all at this point. The iraqi on iraqi violence is enough to even freak out the terrorists). That war in Iraq is an all out iraqi on iraqi civil war now (in case you haven’t been paying attention). The war in Iraq has cost America all of the influence it once had in the region and run up the debt by nearly another half trillion $. Before the war the US had great influence over the region. Now we just look silly, bogged down, hamstrung, and helpless. Wrong country, wrong strategy, by the wrong administration. Three wrongs can’t possibly make a right. Look at what even the neocons who dreamed this war up are condeming the Bush administrations prosecution of it and admit that it has cost us everything in the middle east. You can ignore all of the pointless loss of life (because you will anyway) and consider the fact that from a strategic perspective, the war in Iraq rendered us powerless in the middle east. And as Bush himself said 7 or 8 years ago, “whoever controls the oil, wins in the game.”

Emory, for whom (even though that is tommorow)? You have a scattered party, with no concrete base. The republicans make sense if you look just beyond the surface, but once you look below the liberal front, while astro phisics looks easy. Liberals are like a bunch of bowling pins, all looking out for themselves, no group, no idea, no plan. Heck if I would vote for Truman before Jimmy Carter any day, but nowdays the liberals are… have you seen the ‘wild thing’ republican promotional video? I think I posted it under the blog about Kim Jong Il getting a basketball…

kolran, I guess it doesn’t matter, as long as they remember to be sure and vote on November 8th.

After this post I will no longer use the Nutslikebush handle. My money says that for the next two years he will be a much better president than he has been thus far. Our system is one that works best when the powers are held in check by each other. As the congress emerges as a relevant factor in our government again, I think that better decisions will be made and a new and brighter future is possible for us all.

It would seem to me that your “conservatives and republicans” have failed in their responsibility to vote. Either that, or they have defected to the Democrats. Which reason is responsible is up to you, Buck.
kolran Says: November 9th, 2006 at 7:21 pm
Nutslike bush is just like a liberal, always listening to his money.
kolran Says: November 9th, 2006 at 7:23 pm
To emory:
I guess you are right in that sense, you have to remind liberals to vote even though they will probably go to the polls and put their own name on the ballot.

HAHA we won! Kolran I swear you told me that you NEVER voted for a Republican, so who DO you vote for? You can not even stand up for your own beliefs and party. You are a disgrace to voters EVERYWHERE

Did you ever consider that I might not hold the right to vote in the United States?
