A Plea from a Former Republican
by MC71
Mon Oct 02, 2006

I never thought I'd see the day where I'd be posting on a Liberal Blog. I'm sure one year from now I'll regret this. But this is not one year from now. This is October 2, 2006. Our nation is one month away from one of the most important Congressional Elections in history.

...................

When I read the Mark Foley story this week, I nearly fell out of my chair. To have a man who legislated against Exploited Children, exploit 16 year old students. Without Republican Leadership Confronting it? And this is the party of moral values?

It's over. I've had it. They must go. All of them. Every single one. There must be a message sent across the nation, just like there was one sent in 1994. I will not vote for anyone with an (R) beside them.

I will meet you all again in 2008. Maybe by then we can debate real Conservative/Liberal issues. But for now we must unite. We must unite because our country is in trouble. Get them out. Now. All of them.

Good Luck.

1. The dam has broken

Too bad it had to be something as vile as this, like the war, the lies, the lives lost or harmed couldn't be enough. It had to be something like this for it all to make sense to them.

2. This guy sounds a bit upset

Well, he's got good reason to be.

And if Democrats were running Congress and were this crooked, I'd be saying what this guy is with the shoe on the other foot.

3. One by one!

4. Had a chat yesterday about the same thing, with a rightie. Opposition

is the only way to control this administration. He's voting dem for the first time ever.

5. Diogenes, snuff the lamp. I think we found him.

My heart goes out to him tonight. That took courage and honesty.

6. What you are seeing now IS real conservatism, on display

[spag68]

8. This is an honest statement

For me, a lifelong labor dem. there is nothing wrong with honest debate ie lib v conservative. For example I've always thought that fiscally conservative and socially liberal was a good starting point.

[Seen the light]

9. YES!

Makes me proud.

10. It would be nice if folks like this took a little responsibility

I have relatives like this person. Seemingly intelligent, decent people - who voted for Bush both times. I would tell them, look at his record as Governor of Texas - he's a complete failure and he's going to wreak havoc on this country. They weren't stupid people, just badly informed (and stubborn about it). NOW they regret it. But unfortunately they aren't exactly turning to the Democrats - they tend towards the 'all politicians are corrupt' attitude when the shit hits the fan. Nor do they look at their own shortcomings - where they get their information and what not.
