The mainstream media continues the drumbeat that conservatives are unhappy with the Republican controlled Congress and will sit out the mid-term elections in protest. Some conservative blogger’s and columnists are advocating sitting out the election to punish the Republicans for not accomplishing everything we expect of them.

Sitting out the election in protest thereby giving control of the House and or Senate to the liberal Democrats is insanity. Do we really want the Democrats in charge? Sure the Republicans in Washington have been very disappointing. But we have to give some slack to the House. Conservatives in the House for the past six years have been swimming upstream against President Bush and Republicans in the Senate on issues such as spending, illegal immigration, and border security, and do not deserve to be thrown overboard.

Don’t forget that President Bush and the Congress cut taxes revitalizing our economy, job growth, and prosperity. Bush has started to change the direction of the courts by appointing strict constructionist, not liberal activist judges to the Supreme and Federal Courts, and the Republican controlled Congress has fully funded the war effort to support our troops and keep us safe from further terrorist attacks.  Speaking of national security, do you want the Democrats hamstringing Bush on the nuclear weapons crisis with Iran, North Korea, and China?

If we lose control of the House, the following nightmare will come true. Nancy Pelosi will be Speaker of the House, Democrats will de-fund the war and impede our war effort, we will retreat on the War on Terror, some tax cuts will be rolled back, illegal immigration will become even more out of control, and true constructionists will no longer appointed to the Supreme and Federal courts. President Bush will face impeachment, and Democrats will spend the next two years blocking Bush’s agenda and bogging down the White House with endless investigations. This scenario sounds like utopia.

Conservatives have spent decades trying to change the direction of the courts by appointing strict constructionists to the bench. Our court system from the Supreme Court on down is filled with liberal activist judges who make up their own laws and legislate their liberal agenda from the bench. Democrats have used the courts to impose their liberal agenda on America. Changing the direction of the courts is critical to our country. We simply cannot abandon our goals because we are unhappy that we are not getting everything we want from our party.

Every congressional seat gained by the Democrats this November will make it that much easier for the Democrats to win the Presidency in ’08. How does President Hillary Clinton sound to you?

If you are thinking about sitting out the election next month, ask yourself this one question. Will it be easier to fight for our conservative ideals and principles with a party who actually supports some of our ideals and principles, or will it be easier to fight for our conservative ideals and principles against a party that opposes all of our ideals and principles? Stay at home at your own peril!
