Conservatives Betraying Conservatives

I often receive press releases and/or dispatches from groups but none have aggravated me more than one I recently received from Richard Viguerie. In many cases, I tend to agree with him, especially with regard to "big government Conservatives;" however, this time I'm afraid he's lost his marbles.

ConservativesBetrayed.com is hosting a petition stating that "...if the Republican Party nominates pro-abortion candidates, they [Republicans who sign the petition] will not support them."

Look, I helped to virtually hand the White House to the Clintons on a silver platter once; I'll be damned if I'll do it again! This is one of the DUMBEST things I've EVER heard! If the GOP nominee ends up being Rudy Guiliani, Viguerie and his fellow petitioners seem to think that voting for a third-party candidate and handing the general election to a Democrat is better than electing a Republican to nominate Supreme Court justices. If Viguerie's issue is truly about abortion, he and others who agree with him on this issue are making a horrible mistake. Imagine a Supreme Court bench full of Hillary nominees!

Mr. Viguerie, I'm afraid your petition may just betray the Conservatives you say have already been betrayed. Let's get our collective Conservative head screwed on straight, shall we? We certainly don't need another Perot episode.

HEAR, HEAR!!!

We really have to keep our eye on the ball.

Rudy wouldn't lift a finger to help the pro-abortion crowd. Its cynical but he's simply too good of a politician. His personal beliefs are interesting but not dispositive of how he would deal with this issue.

I'm not carrying Rudy's brief but I'm pretty sure that he was willing to throw the social issues bone to the NY libs and he would just as easily throw conservative bones to us if he were in office.

I think he just wants to shrink gov and kill bad guys in the Middle East and doesn't care about anything else.

How many Republicans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

1. One to deny that the light bulb needs to be changed

2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed.

3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb.

4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for darkness.

5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid/cost-plus contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb.

6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a stepladder under the
banner: "Light Bulb Change Accomplished."

7. One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally in the dark.

8. One to viciously smear #7.

9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light bulb changing policy all along.

10. Finally, Joe Lieberman to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing the light bulb and screwing the country.

Sporer, my friend, I couldn't agree with you more! If you threw "ending illegal immigration" into that mix of things that Rudy cares about, he would be a fine candidate in my book.

Question: Why does every drive-by Liberal on the internet refuse to be more creative than using "Anonymous" as his/her name and then refuse to be creative enough to have an applicable thought? *sigh*

In return, here's one for you, Anon:

How many Democrats does it take to change a light bulb?

None, Democrats like being in the dark as long as they can blame President Bush for the lack of light.

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
