Conservative Party v.s. Republican Party

If people like you had voted for McCain, we very possibly would have a different Administration right now. And, since people like you didn't vote for McCain, your constant droning about the Republicans not acting like you want them to is strange, to say the least. People lilke you gutted the G.O.P., putting irresistable power in the hands of the Dems. You got nothin comin from the Republicans, and the Democrats will hand you your lunch.

If Palin wasn't chosen as McCain's running mate, I probably would have.

The GOP and the Bush administration is what bleached the Right from Congress. *I* actually had nothing to do with it.

Owning a successful business, working about 30 hours a week when I'm not traveling, lucky enough to be able to fishing 3-5 times a week - I live comfortably. Can't say I'm waiting for the Dems to give me any handouts.

Considering that you know nothing about me, I find it tough for you to repeatedly say "if people like you". You have no idea who I've voted for in other elections aside from Obama in this past Presidential election and as such, you have no clue what you're talking about. You also don't know a thing about me.

If you've ever paid two seconds of attention instead of merely regurgitating what you hear on Rush or read on neo-conservative websites, you'd know that I'm completely against all but the most necessary welfare services. So quite frankly, you can go (*&$ yourself.

**Edit** Here's an interesting fact about you though. Since you registered, you haven't made a single post anywhere else on the site aside from in the Political Forum. So either you're just a troll, or you use a separate account in this forum because you're not enough of a man to stand behind what you have to say.

This isn't the first time that the Conservative Party has run its own candidate for office in New York instead of cross-endorsing a Republican, and it won't be the last.

What it almost invariably does is allow a Democrat to win in a three-way race without a majority of the votes, as it splits the Republican vote.

Yes, but at least they won't have to print up any new talking points.

This is a big problem with centralized power in party politics.

It was this past election and the vote for Obama to which I refer. If McCain, not Obama, had won, the political situation would be different.

I don't listen to Rush, nor read neo-conservative websites. From reading your posts, I know that you are against all but the most necessary welfare services.

Your interesting fact is false. I have posted, once, elsewhere on the site. I don't use a separate account, and I stand behind what I say. I have never posted on any other forum than this forum. I came across it by accident, found it interesting reading, and, eventually, jumped in. I have, since discovering this forum, looked into others out of curiosity, found them not as interesting, or varied, or having participants who are as "real" as on this forum. I find YOUR personality quite likeable. Not only do I agree with you often, I like your bluntness, off-the-cuff style. Being a bit of an empath, I sometimes respond to a post in the manner and style of that post. I was uncharacteriscly blunt in referring to "people like you" because I was responding to a blunt person. Sorry that it, as you might say, got your panties all up in a bunch. But I stand by what I said--if people like you (those who voted for Obama) had voted for McCain, we would have a different political reality. If that makes me a troll, so be it. I hope that I have added to the discussions on this forum, but if there is some specific qualification to be a part of this forum that I lack, I am willing to leave.
