Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents

People who believe in liberty, the freedom of the individual, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights should swear off of the Democratic Party completely.

The Party has totally forsaken the founding principles of the United States of America and has sold out to Socialists, neo-Communists, and other statists who believe that government power should always trump the power of the individual. The fact that George Soros' gang of atheist neo-Commies runs the Party, along with those who fund Moveon.org, is ample proof that under no circumstance should conscientious Americans vote for a Democrat.

And this includes those who know how to sound like they support gun rights, the Bill of Rights, etc. during an election. The fact is that even though they may in fact support some of these ideals, their money is coming from those who will demand allegiance to the money source, and the money source is rotten to the core.

Take that dirt-bag in Virginia, Senator James Webb. What a dork. He rang all the right bells while he ran for office, but once elected he had to go as far as to lie about a gun his aide carried into the Capitol for the fear of reprisal by the Democratic Party bosses.

The gun belonged to Webb, which at first he denied, but then admitted months after the incident.

Countless other supposedly 'conservative' Democrats across the nation have fooled their constituents into believing they share the values of those who elect them to office, yet the record shows they routinely cut deals with the devil to survive in a Party where the real power rests with the likes of Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Little Chucky Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, and that lame-brain Howard Dean.

For this reason, conscientious American voters, that is, those who take seriously our nation's founding documents and its original ideals, and who hold as sacred the Founders who risked life and all they owned to give us this shining light of liberty, should forsake once and for all the Democratic Party and vote ONLY for Republicans, or Libertarians, or Independents.

This is by no means a membership drive for the GOP. Frankly, some within the GOP are just as bad as the Democrats. But at least the Party as a whole stands for the Founding principles of this nation.

And frankly, it doesn't interest me in the least as to whether or not you belong to the GOP officially. I certainly don't. I will not hesitate to vote for Libertarians or Independents if the circumstances are right.

The point, however, is that as conscientious voters we can no longer do business with a political Party that has clearly forsaken and scorned ALL of the precepts that true Americans hold dear.

I, for one, will under no circumstance vote for a single one of the bloody traitors. Gone are the days when I can in good conscience do business with even so-called 'conservative' Democrats.

The problem I have with immediately dismissing, without consideration, Democrats who do have a clear record of support for gun rights is that doing so removes any incentive they have to support gun rights. In fact, it means that inasmuch as gun issues would have any relevance to them at all, we would now give them a real incentive to pander to the element of the Democratic base that does advocate restrictive gun laws.

Additionally, if Republicans can count on getting our votes (or at worst, the votes going to the Libertarian or Independent candidate, and therefore not going to the only opposition they really need to fear), no matter what their stance on guns--as long as it's not quite as bad as their Democrat opponents'--they have little incentive to be more than minimally pro-rights.

I like keeping my options open. Part of that, I guess, is that on the state level here in Illinois, gun politics follows regional, rather than party, lines. If not for a lot of pro-gun, downstate Democrats, we'd be lucky to have BB guns here.

I understand what you are saying, and I am aware of the politics of it. But from a personal and ethical point of view, I have had it with Democrats, period...and to the degree that local Democrats pander and support their Party's national nominees, they are to be held accountable. There are many more rights to be considered than just the 2nd Amendment.

I vote to hold them accountable for who they support at the national level. If they are going to vote for the likes of Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Al Gore, etc, etc., they frankly I don't care how 'conservative' they claim to be. Their vote tells the story, and I say it is time we let them know that no longer will we let them get by with that. Either support national candidates who stand for the 2nd Amendment, the First Amendment, and all the rest, or they can face our ire at the polls. That is the only I know how to deal once and for all with the bastards and bitches who are giving our country away to tyrants such as the thugs at the U.N.

Oops--I kind of forgot for a minute that this isn't a purely Second Amendment blog (the vast majority of my commenting is on such blogs).

I see your point, of course, but I'll continue to judge candidates on their individual merits/flaws, rather than on their party affiliation.

Welshman said...

And please understand that I respect your opinion because I respect you.

It's just that I have been burned too many times by Democrats even on the local level who talk a good game to get the support of local conservatives, but then blow it all to smithereens by endorsing Socialists at the national level during Presidential and Senatorial races.

I agree with you about judging candidates based upon individual merits/flaws, but experience has taught me that this does NOT apply to the Democrats in my experience. Vote for one, and sooner or later you are gonna get screwed BAD.

The national Party simply has too much power over the candidates.

Now, if they denounce their Party's Presidential nominee and pledge support for a Republican, Libertarian, or Independent, then by all means I can deal with that.

So there is even an exception to my seeming iron-clad pronouncement against Democrats...

Maybe you helped me to see the exception to my own rule by allowing me to talk it out, simply by engaging in this discussion.

There are always exceptions to the most stringent of rules...

I trust you know that your respect is reciprocated--strongly.

Allow me to point to an example of a Democrat (who is actually pretty poor on most of the issues I value), for whom I would vote just to beat the horrid Republican running against him.

Hell, just the fact that Bloomberg is supporting her (for her anti-gun rights stance) is enough to make voting for even a statist Democrat like Petersen worth it.

Welshman said...

Yes, of course, you point to yet another example of the exception to the rule.

When it comes to Bloomberg, I'd rather vote for the rat-catcher in 'Phantom of the Opera' than that scumbag.

And thanks for your kind words...and I will say further that you always provide something worth reading.
