The Undecided Voters
JR Dieckmann
I'm not talking about those who have not decided which candidate to vote
for. I'm talking about those who have not decided if they want to vote at
all this year. I now include myself in that group.
Aren't we all just a little tired of holding our noses and voting for the
lesser of two evils? I have come to the point to where I have just about
had it with simply voting against someone. I want to be able to vote for
someone. When Fred Thompson left the race, I found myself with no one left
who I wanted to vote for. Think about it. When you vote for a
candidate it should be because you want that person in office. I don't see
anyone now that I want in the office of president.
Election year after election year we are asked to vote for someone we
don't really like but they tell us it's better than the alternative that the
Democrats are offering. That's just not good enough anymore. What's
the difference if John McCain or Hillary Clinton wins the White House?
Very little, they are both liberals and both will have to deal with Congress to
get anything done. So what if John McCain supports the war? He also
supports illegal aliens and "man made global warming." It's just not
enough that a candidate is on the right side of only one conservative
issue, he must be on the right side of all of them or he is not someone I want
to vote for.
We don't have a conservative in the race anymore and I, for one, do not
intend to vote for a liberal. So now I must decide if I will bother to
vote at all in this election. Of the 4 remaining Republican candidate
in the race, there is little difference between them. None of them have
inspired my vote. Somehow, someone, somewhere decided that certain liberal
and independent states should hold early elections and allow independents and
Democrats to vote for Republicans to force conservative candidates out of
the race. This was no accident, and I cannot believe it was not planned or
in the planning since 2004.
I'm seeing a lot of uproar over this election already and the way it's
being run. The system is corrupted. Why are Democrats and
independents voting in the Republican primaries in SC and other states?
Where did the Clintons and Obama's $100 million campaign dollars come from?
Certainly not from individual contributors. How much of that money came
indirectly from George Soros? How much of it came from China through bundlers
like Norman Tsu? How much of it came from Clinton's buddies in Japan? What
candidate can possibly afford to legitimately finance an extended 2 year
campaign?
The Republican candidates are all running out of money except Mitt Romney
who is now using his own personal wealth to stay in the race, yet the Clintons
and Obama claim a $100 million campaign fund. Democrats have never before
in history raised that kind of money in an election, but then George Soros has
never been so determined to put Democrats in the White House since his defeat in
2004. Need I remind you that as of the campaign finance reforms of 2002 it
is illegal for any one contributor to contribute more than $2100.00 to a
candidate's campaign? How many millions has Soros put into the Clinton and
Obama campaign finance chests under other people's names?
An investigation isn't enough. This election system needs to be torn down
and completely rebuilt from the ground up. McCain/Feingold was a gift to the
Democrats and no one has done a thing to repeal it. The dishonest criminal
corruption of politicians is running rampant in government and nothing is
being done to stop it. Confidence in our government is at an all time low and
the election process is now so rigged that it's going to be nearly impossible
for a conservative to ever win an election ever again. The Republican
party has just about destroyed it self now and may not remain viable for much
longer. Many conservatives left the Republicans in the past 2 years and the
party isn't getting much financial support anymore from anyone.
It may be that the time has come to take a stand against the liberal
policies of the Republican party. Perhaps it's time for a Democrat to take
the White House and demonstrate to the country the disastrous result. If
we don't, then before long, the Republican party is going to look just like the
Democrat party and conservatives will be left wondering who will represent them
in government. It's time to teach the Republican leadership a lesson, and
the country a lesson in liberal socialism. Give them the next four years of
disastrous policies to think about where they went wrong and what they must do
to correct it. We have been shouting it loud and clear but the party
leaders continue to ignore us and continue to allow the Democrats to set the
rules. After 4 years of socialism, perhaps the country will be ready to
welcome back conservative constitutionalism.
When you have an old car that keeps breaking down, you get rid of it and
find a new one. If you have a horse that insists on always going in the
wrong direction, you get rid of it and find a new one. If you've been
shopping at a store that no longer carries your favorite products, you go
shopping somewhere else. If the Republican party can no longer assure us
that we will have a conservative candidate to vote for in the elections, then
it's time to leave and find or create a new party that will. A vote for a
liberal Republican is a vote to move the country further to the left. It
has to stop somewhere and the sooner the better.
I will not vote for a liberal Republican simply to keep a liberal Democrat
out of office anymore. Maybe after 4 years of real
Democrat liberalism in the White House, the Republican party will come back
to it's conservative roots and offer us a conservative alternative.
Give the country 4 years of liberalism and see how the voters like it. We
can survive 4 years of disaster but we cannot survive it indefinitely, which is
what the Republican party is asking us to do. My friends, the time
has come to take a stand and begin the difficult and unpleasant process of
turning this country around.
I think it is extremely unlikely that Clinton will be elected in
November. The Clinton legacy was written in the Oval Office with Monica
Lewinsky, and on September 11, 2001 in New York. I don't think the country wants
a rerun of that. So that just leaves Obama and whichever liberal
Republican becomes the nominee. This election will most likely be decided
by Democrats who either vote for Obama, or cross over to vote for the Republican
liberal.
Conservatives don't matter in elections anymore. Are you sick and
tired of it yet? If you want to change it then we are going to have to
sink all the way to the bottom before we can start to fix it. I owe no loyalty to the Republican party. I joined it because it once represented my values. It no longer does. I'm not certain what I will do. For now I'm just another undecided voter.
