If only Republicans were still Conservatives

[Libertarianrkba]

Tired of voting for "lesser of two evil" RINOs? Miss the days when Republicans were Conservatives? Wish any politician from any party would remember the CONSTITUTION?

On November 3rd, instead of tossing your vote to a candidate who does not really represent your values anymore, check out the Libertarian candidates on the ballot in your area. Even if they are not there, you can still vote for these candidates as write-ins. Get the names and the party out there!

We're not winning if we have a RINO Republican, and let's face it, in NY, the Republicans are generally just as bad as the Democrats. Make your vote count. This election you're probably not going to get what you want with either the Democratic or the Republican candidate. So make your vote mean something by providing legitimacy to the Libertarian party.

Sure. Do so and ensure the republican party continues its death spiral into oblivion. Good thinking!

[libertarianrkba2]

The Republican party has already died. Does that party represent the conservative values the party embodied? No, it does not. At this point, voting Republican simply because they are Republican is the misguided clinging to tradition and lost hopes and nothing more.

Did you know, Bloomberg is an Independent? I am NOT saying I am in support of Bloomberg (I most certainly am NOT), but I am saying that not everyone elected is a Republican or a Democrat.

The Republican party is dead and the only way to birth a new party to represent those abandoned values is to stop clinging to what is long gone and embrace the values you believe in, not the name you once agreed with.

[if only...]

Yeah right. If only republicans would be more conservative so they can win more elections and be as successful at winning them as Pat Robertson, Pat Buchanan, Alan Keyes, Ashcroft, etc, etc.

Yes, Republicans should move to the right on many issues. But be able to move to the left on other commonsense issues. The Republican Party needs a big tent where compromise can happen.

The CORE ISSUES should remain National Defense, Family Values, Crime and Justice, Individual Rights, Lower Taxes, and Small Government. We need to do more for America's Senior Citizens and Education!

These issues will put America back on the correct tract.

[Conserve]

Yeah right. If only republicans would be more conservative so they can win more elections and be as successful at winning them as Pat Robertson, Pat Buchanan, Alan Keyes, Ashcroft, etc, etc.

Conservative does not mean religious. Religion guiding politics is a feature of the new GOP (which is divided now into RINOS and the religious right).

Conservative means to conserve, meaning protecting what is, that is, the Constitution.

[Name some]

Ok, then name some wildly successful conservative candidates to be modeled after. And limit it to the Northeast where we live and not somewhere like Kentucky.

[you missed the point]

Why? That wouldn't support my argument. My argument is that support is not given to third party candidates, even though they are more in line with voters' beliefs, simply because they are third parties. Providing "wildly successful" candidates is actually contrary to my point, which is, they are not supported but they should be because they are more representative.

[Point illogical]

Right, whatever...
Republicans in New York should run far right spectrum candidates, instead of someone more moderate with broader appeal. Sounds like great advice - not.
You must be a democrat.

I am definitely not a Democrat. I am a conservative, something the Republican party no longer represents.

But keep voting based on party name alone. That's how RINOs like Olympia Snowe get voted in again and again.

[LI Bri]

The Republican Party needs more like Ron Paul and fewer like Bush/Cheney.

[Somewhat sensible, but]

At least your statement has some merit. The guy arguing on page 1 for Republicans running only far right candidates is out of touch and lost that miserable argument a couple posts back. You can make all the ideological statements you want running "X" candidate, but if he/she has no chance of ever winning then you achieve absolutely nothing, except to move the party farther toward insignificance. Campaigns are in it to win. Nothing less. I'd rather have someone who is a bit watered down representing my interests, than face the prospect of NEVER having anybody representing my interests because they only run someone at one end of the spectrum who will never win. I really cannot believe this is a tough concept to grasp!!!
