Part of me realizes that the only way to rid the GOP of the RINOs are for the GOP to lose Congress. For it is RINOs (the REAL ones, the ones who deny being Republican except in name only.)that are hurting the only viable party that can stop the Liberals.
Look at Santorum and Hayworth...both got snookered by the immigration issue...and BOTH are fighting for their political life. (Hayworth's opponent couldn't even get elected to some small time office but is now slated to win Hayworth's seat.) Both believed talk show host Laura Ingraham and the RINO pundits when they told them that the base cared about immigration MORE than the war in Iraq...that cutting spending during time of war was more important than turning the economy around after 9/11.
They spun and you all bought it...and we will probably lose those really good Republicans.
But the other part of me...remembers reading about those who had fought with our men side by side in Vietnam...only to be slaughtered when we left. And the part that talked to Vietnam Vets who told me about coming home to be spit upon and called baby killers.
And of course the first Gulf war...when we left Saddam to mow down a million of his own people who believed us when we said...come fight with us and we will make you free.
I told myself never...never would I stand there and not say something when America is getting ready to turn her back on her allies--and her troops AGAIN...
So...I am here on record to say this to all of you who insists on giving the Republicans a fanny whipping...if the Dems take over Congress tomorrow...and San Fran Nan keeps her promise to cut the funding to the military...when the Iraqi people are once again slaughtered (as they were when we left Saddam in power in the first Gulf war-and as the 2 million Cambodians were killed when we cut and ran out of Vietnam)...I want you stand there and watch them die.
Don't you dare turn away and turn off your t.v. set. Because you KNEW. Nancy told you she and her Democratic run Congress would cut the funding and bring our troops back.
She may not have told you what we'd leave behind...but if you know anything about history, you KNOW. And if you don't have the decency to put humanity above your pet Conservative Utopia dreams, then at least have the courage to face the consequencies of your selfishness and short sightedness. |
