RW website: Conservatives are now the "Blacks" of the Republican Party
Edited on Fri Dec-12-03 09:57 PM by arendt
Found this from a headline on WRH; looks like Rush's detox
has cost him some spin on the ball. He is starting to really
piss the more intelligent conservatives off:

Conservatives are now the "Blacks" of the Republican Party

by "Destro"
December 12, 2003

In a discussion on this thread Tom Ridge's Immigration Remarks Draw Fire a post regarding the conservative angst about the recent campaign finance reform that Bush signed into law and that the Supreme Court approved (and the approval was praised by the White House), on the heals of the Medicare entitlement enacted under a Republican controlled government the following was posted:

I'm hearing Rush now. He claims the republicans have ONLY one party to go to. He has put this issue squarely on the problem. We need to vote outside of this corrupt party apparatus.

I also heard this on Rush and my blood boiled. Rush said conservatives have no place else to go and thus will continue to vote as a block to the Republicans.....and then it hit me. That is exactly what we conservatives lament about Blacks and the Democratic party. Black Democrats who vote straight Democratic and are rewarded by being ignored.

In other words, Conservatives are now the "Blacks" of the Republican Party!!!

I suggest you try this meme on your dittohead friends.

6. Your mission, should you choose to accept it
is to convert as many Repukes as possible into Libertarians. PReach small government, drastic tax and spending cuts and they will eat it up. I have already converted two people I know who were upset with Bush's so called 'big spending' on the medicare bill.

2. All the more reason
to give them a reason to vote Democratic this time out.

Nominate Clark and we have a shot.

4. Number one, these people who are calling themselves conservative
are not what you and I think of as conservative. They think Ann Coulter, Rush and other wing-nuts are simply conservative.

3. Kind of makes you want to
give money to the Constitution party and the Reform party. A vote for Buchanon, when it's not done by elderly Florida Jews, is a vote against Bush.

Put on your libertarian disguise, print up some of his
excellent speaches flambe-ing BushCo, and stand

in getting rid of Bush by converting disgruntled,
but above-80 IQ rethuglicans.

This thread deserves more air time.

A vote for Buchanan is a vote for Dean (but don't tell those guys :-)
