It's Politic's, Man!

[Gman]

If everyone...

There's something I've learned as I've gotten older. You can't count on "everyone".

You take the best advantage of what's available to get the best possible outcome. You can sit back after the Tuesday election and bitch that you didn't vote for whoever it was that won, but later you will realize that nothing was gained by it. You might even realize that if only a few had voted for a non-optimal candidate that could defeat someone that wanted to take away what you have now, you would have been better off.

But it's your vote and you did the right thing by exercising your rights.

If everyone, including the democrats, voted their conscience, it would work much better.

Heck, I can think of a lot of better candidates than Beupreux (SP?) but there is clear evidence he is better than Ritter and every liberal will vote for Ritter.

I can think of better people than Musgrave, but AP isn't one of them, and every liberal will vote for AP.

The sad part is, liberals vote their principals, simply put they have no principals, so as long as the candidate has no principals and no scrupples, they will vote for them. Liberal politicians make the liberal masses feel good about themselves and their warped views.

True conservatives, make a lot of people uncomfortable, because they actually stand for something. Will actually say this is right or this is wrong.

Face it, we are losing because we are to picky, and they are not.

Yes, I am picky....

Hrmm i understand what you guys are saying, and having a republican although not even close to optimal is better than a democrat.

But doesnt electing republicans show them "hey even though i'm not doing the right conservative thing i still get elected... i guess not doing my job has no consequences"

I think it shows them that they can continue to keep doing a bad job, and as time goes by they will continue to get worse and worse until they are just like democrats. Maybee a bad loss and an increase in votes for a third party might work as a type of shock thereapy to wake them up and get republicans back on the right track?

Apparently you missed out on Ross Perot. :roll: Karl.

As I have said often, Right Wing and Left Wing are attached to the same bird of prey.

Once rights are taken away they are difficult to get back. Think about it--a democrat house, senate, and a gun grabber democrat for a governor. In your attempt to teach them a lesson, you may end up with a statewide AWB with limitations on full capacity magazines and the abandonment of 'shall issue' concealed carry.

Who was it that was getting the shock therapy? [poke]

that's what they said in CA.
come day after elections here and all gun owners might be real upset .
pearlmutter and ken gordon would abolish state CCW as fast as they would get ritter to sign off on it. the fight to get statewide CCW will be nothing compared to the swiftness of them abolishing it.
