This story is a couple of weeks old but more relevant today than ever.

And this...shows why perhaps the prisoners of governemnt who are trapped in the big cities maybe should only get one half vote per person>>>>>http://www.esri.com/industries/elections/graphics/results_2004_lg.jpg

Those 2000 and 2004 maps told a story, a story with an important lesson. It had appeared as though the Democrats had learned it, but this new bit of arrogance shows that they have not.

Very good article. Thanks for posting. The arrogance of socialists/criminals knows no bounds.

Democrats have an elitist edge to them, which turns off lots of small town voters.

Democrats tend to be too liberal when running for pres. anyway. A footnote to the 2000 and 2004 elections were that there was a state with many more registered Dems. than Republicans that went Republican each time. That state is West Virginia. Those Democrats in West Virginia tend to be socially conservative, though supportive of Democrats running in state and local elections. So they have switched to vote for Republicans for president in big enough numbers to swing the state.

I mention West Virginia too, because while they have only 5 electoral votes, it was enough to tip the election to Bush in 2000. If Al Gore had carried West Virginia, the whole circus in Florida would not have mattered, because Gore would have won the election anyway.

Heck if Gore had carried his own home state in 2000 he would have been president. Tennessee also has lotsa Democrats but they are not so far out liberal/radical like the national Democratic party has gotten to be.

I was at a dinner on Monday with a bunch of East Coast professional types. They went on and on about how stupid everybody else in the country was. They just don't get it. They are all graduated of the Dale-Carnegie-In-Reverse, How to Insult Friends and Alienate People.

This talking point about the population of Wasilla, Alaska, is insulting—to the millions of Americans who live in small towns, to those who have done the hard work of serving the public in governance of those small towns, and to the intelligence of all of us by trying to confuse the real issues of experience and judgment with phantom ones.

Great piece. Thanks for posting.

Well HERE’s something fresh from this morning:

Boston Globes’ LEAD Editorial:

http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/editorials/articles/2008/10/01/wasilla_made_rape_victims_pay/

This rape “story” has been debunked and redunked over and over, but the Globe just can’tresist a delicious LIE. They just cut and paste rumors ver there, they can’t even Google!

Time for the Red County Revolt !

I think the key to Republicans winning this election is Sarah Palin. No, I am not talking about scoring points in the debate.

There is a very deep, but slowly awakening current flowing through America. It is the absolute disgust the people feel towards their elected representatives. They are tired of these people pouring out their hard-earned money they have been forced to pay to the government, as if it was an endless supply of water. A 10% approval rating for congress should be telling us this. Nobody gets this low in approval for so long unless there is monumental antipathy towards them.

The people are tired of being spit on by the likes of Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi. They are fed up with double-talk from legislators who pull in enormous sums of money from lobbyists and mysteriously fail to ever reform anything not to the lobbyists’ liking.

The average citizen is the most underrepresented constituency in the country today.

Palin’s big message needs to be the one she is starting to use-that with her the people will have a voice in the White House.

People will respond. Even some of the Obamanuts who are not too far gone may be persuaded to come over if they have misgivings about the little o.

She needs to immediately launch a bus tour or its equivalent after the debate, doing interviews every day with local radio and TV stations, (local stations tend to be honored, and don’t view her as a target like the self-appointed big shots at the networks) at least three a day, doing speeches every day, at least two or three a day to various groups in battleground states until she has wrung absolutely every last vote out of the populace.

I think she pulls some of her strength from her family. They need to accompany her on the bus.

A long, but illuminating read!
