"Conservatives" jumping ship deserve derision, scorn.

[txaslftist]

Recently I've seen a lot of articles written by "conservatives" along the lines of "Bush has betrayed us..." "Bush isn't truly conservative" "The Deficit Spending of this President isn't truly conservative" blah blah blah, yak yak yak. They watch their president's approval numbers plummet like the Hindenburg, and they don't want to be on it anymore.

You know that if the public was still with Bush, they'd still be with him, too. If shrubs numbers were above fifty, you wouldn't be reading editorials from Newt or Geo Will critical of the presnit. No sirra, they'd be lockstep with whatever starry-eyed crapola he was schpewing.

And enough of this "we held our nose and voted for Bush, even though he din't have conservative bona-fides..."

Bulllllllsheeit.

They used to say of women, when they mistakenly married abusers, "you made your bed, lie in it." Well, we've become more advanced since them days, but the conservatives don't get to play battered victim here.

I will always keep in mind the fact that they wore purple band-aids to their convention. This is a party that jumped whole-hog on the Bush bandwagon, with complete enthusiasm. This was their chance to smash the "libruls", and they jumped on it with glee.

No sir, Mr. Newt. You don't get a pass on this one, neither does any other Republican politico anywhere. I read an article to the effect that 80 house seats were "up for grabs" in '06.

I say, nope. The whole house is up for grabs. There isn't a safe seat for a Republican in the entire country. They deserve nothing less than to be sent packing en masse, to fade into obscurity and the disrepute they so richly deserve.

The Republican Revolution is over. They lose.

1. Disagree. Encourage them to jump. Divide & Conquer wins elections.

2. Although they deserve it I disagree as well

They screwed up, Bush is quite Charming and he sucked in a lot of people. Bring them over to the correct side, ours.

3. Bush is about as charming as anal warts

I do NOT get what this apparent charm is supposed to be that suckered millions.

:puke:

4. I agree with that statement

I don't know either, I have friends and family who were hypnotized by him and didn't snap out of it until Katrina.

At least I hope they get it now. :shrug:

5. easy answer

Bush and the republicans are masters at division of class, race and religion.

As long as us shmucks on the bottom 90 percent are fighting amongst ourselves about the above issues, they rob the bank.

It is nothing new, just more sophisticated.

7. agree,

There are a lot more republicans giving that bush vote a second thought, those are the people that we need to have rational conversations with. More will see the light thru rational, factual conversations. Republicans will never agree with somebody telling them they are stupid, or morally bankrupt. The tide IS turning, republicans are begining to understand their mistakes and the polls show it, call them a bunch of f***ing bastards that deserve what they get and the ground gained will be easily lost.

Democrats may be right, but we still have a rep Senate, a rep. House and a rep. President. Ever had a republican say "well........F*** you we control everything!" ???? I think now is the time to be less confrontational and lots more factual. We have a voice, the entire country and most of the world hears the cries of the Democratic party, something to believe in should be our message. Not, republicans are stupid and deserve what they get.

6. Personally, I'm happy to have them on our side

as long as they vote Democratic. Welcome!!

If we rub their noses in it we just shoot ourselves in the foot. Again.

8. I'm with you,

We are one country, the only party capable of keeping us united and NOT divided are the Democrats.
