Thread: Why I am Not Voting Republican This Fall

By William H. Calhoun on Sep 23, 2006

A friend of mine recently was surprised when I told him that I am not voting Republican this fall. “You are one of the most conservative people I know,” he said.

"Exactly,” I said, “and that is precisely why I am not voting Republican.” For me, illegal immigration has been the final straw. And the GOP’s recent decision to pull funding from Randy Graf’s campaign shows the writing on the wall: CONSERVATIVES, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN THE GOP. Of course, the GOP will take conservatives’ votes and money, but if a real conservative runs for office, he almost certainly will be shunned.

The GOP historically has been quite liberal. And now, those at the helm are steering it towards its liberal roots. While President Bush and Senator McCain are seeing who can run farther to the left of Ted Kennedy on the issue of immigration, our country is under invasion. Already 20 million illegals have invaded our country, and our president (other than lip service) has done nothing about it. In fact, he exudes a long track record of encouraging the illegal invasion of our country.

In the 1950s, when our country was under invasion, President Eisenhower (via “Operation Wetback") responded with troops, and deported over 1 million illegals in less than a year. Yet President Bush says he is unable. Rather, he is unwilling. If Bush had engaged in this pandering to illegals in the 1950s, he would have been impeached and tried for treason.

In fact, the treason lobby seems to have overtaken the GOP. By 1950s standards, President Bush, Vice-President Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, and Senators McCain, Specter, Brownback, DeWine, and Graham are all guilty of treason. Behind the scenes, they have supported the unconstitutional NAFTA Superhighway, and at every turn have undermined American sovereignty. They have betrayed the Constitution and hard-working Americans so that they can make a fast buck from big business and attempt (unsuccessfully) to court illegal aliens for future political support.

And the GOP rewards such treason. Although Senator DeWine has been ranked by Human Events as one of the ten worst border-security politicians in the country, the GOP still funds him. And in the process, they ceased to fund Randy Graf, a true patriot who actually wants to defend America from this invasion. They take money from the conservative and give it to the liberal. This is the modus operandi of the GOP.

If I am ever able to vote for a true conservative in the GOP (e.g. John Duncan , Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, or Pat Buchanan) then I shall. Otherwise, I am voting Constitution Party (the real conservative party) or not voting at all.

William H. Calhoun is a writer, conservative, and graduate of the University of Chicago.

I'm only supporting individual candidates myself, not any of the two evil, traitorous parties.

In the 1950s, when our country was under invasion, President Eisenhower (via “Operation R******R") responded with troops, and deported over 1 million illegals in less than a year. Yet President Bush says he is unable. Rather, he is unwilling. If Bush had engaged in this pandering to illegals in the 1950s, he would have been impeached and tried for treason.

The secret societies are influencing our govenment. Bilderberger, Masons, Skull and Bones..the list goes on. Maybe the influence wasn't as bad in the 50s

I will play devils advocate here. I hate what the GOP is doing to Randy Gaff, I hate worse the thought of the democrats being in power, I may be wrong, I think if that happens we don't have a snow balls chance in, I won't say it you know what I mean though. If the democrats get in power they will most surely pass their comprehensive immigration bill. I cannot see that happening, not with my vote anyway. I think we have to stand behind people like Gaff, Tancredo, all the republicans who voted against that bill. I am afraid we don't have a third party ready or enough Independents running to break away from the republican party, bad as it is, it is still all that stands between the democrats and the passing of this horrible bill. I cannot in good conscience vote for democrats who I know are going to pander to the illegals and vote through this bill. If we don't and this bill passes the senate and house, I am afraid the war drums will be beating, I will vote for the one who stands against amnesty and for secure borders and enforcement of our immigrations laws, otherwise I might have to migrate to Tahiti!

That is what's required. Don't send money to RNC or DNC. Send them Bush Dollars. Send money to candidates that are Patriots. Get out the vote for them.

I would have a problem with voting for a third party candidate if a liberal Dem was getting in because I did. The choice between two evils is still evil, but I think even a Rhino could be coaxed toward a conservative vote sooner than a flaming liberal hater.

Nitty I hear ya! I could NEVER vote for someone like Pelosi or Ted Kennedy for example. However I agree with Mr Calhoun about Republicans like McCain, Specter, Brownback, DeWine, and Graham.

I also agree with y'all here about voting for those who support America. Tragically in quite a few races that doesn't exist. Neither the Democrat or the Republican candidate supports America. It really pisses me off that in many races there is NO real choice. Voting for the lesser of two evils is perpetuating what we have now and done for years and to me that is just not acceptable anymore. America will die if we continue to do that! Die fast or Die slow but it will die. what a choice!

I absolutely agree with that but I have real concerns that we can do what we need to do to save this country in the two party system. I'm of the opinion We MUST find a different way. I offer no real solutions on how to do that but I don't see any real light at the end of the tunnel going down the same path we've been going down for some time now.

I don't see any real light at the end of the tunnel going down the same path we've been going down for some time now.

This year you will have a Democrat of 40 years voting for someone who wants to keep America. I hope there'll be enough of us.

AlturaCt , right on, I could never vote for those repugs you mentioned either, they are traitors to the American people, as moostracks said we have to vote for the man, the man who is for America!
Loservillelabor not to fret, both our parties are being hijacked doesn't mean we have to be though, with all of us here we can work together to bring America back to the citizens, and those legal immigrants who want to come here and be americans through and through with us!

I'm standing with you nitty. This time we must fight more forever.
