Vote GOP because…

Vote GOP Because…
The reasons seem less and less these days

While most of us who call ourselves conservatives struggle for an answer to that question, a look back as to why the question is posed at all might be helpful.

In 1994, the electorate sees a motivated and impassioned GOP come out of the political wilderness and take control of the House of Representatives from a thoroughly scandal-scarred and idea-bereft Democratic Party.

What follows is a slow but steady ideal and ethical erosion of policy that may finally have caught up with the Republican Party. In this, the two major parties in Washington claim a distinction, but may fundamentally lack a difference.

...

And the record for the GOP to run on? Well, it can’t be all terrorism, all the time, can it? If you're President Bush, the obvious answer is a resounding "Heck yes, it’s all we got!" Four weeks out from Election Day, it certainly seems as much.

1. Economy is the best that it’s been since the late 90s isn't saying much
Maybe that is why it remains the most underreported story.

And the end of that story is classic: “Vote GOP, because the alternative is even worse than we are.”


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Vote for me because I don't like Billy!

2. How sweet.
"vote conservative, because the alternative is even worse than we are."

Of all the thousands of articles out there, you chose to post this one? What were you thinking?

3. Locking.
While it's essential to know your enemy, I'd like to point out this is democraticunderground and threads like this can quickly get out of control.
