is that sarcasm? I posted that online a half-hour after it happened. Then I reported it to the GOP hotline AND called the local news radio who ran with the story about how this happened here and FOUR other local (strong GOP) districts.
Days of early voting and extended hours enabled the 'rat machine to herd their masses into busses and take load after load bodily to the polls. This is how they got their 100% votes in black precincts. They wouldn't have had the resources to get them all to the polls on one day, so they had to have the long open season to make all the deliveries necessary.
The GOP had no such organization, or apparently, even the faintest idea of what the DNC had been doing the last four years. Let's hope they learned their lesson, but frankly I'm not optimistic. The GOP seems more interested in running people off than in GOTV efforts.
The GOP is over, forever. It’s downright quaint to talk about them as if they were a force at the national level. The militarist/religious right/anti-communist/libertarian coalition that formed during the Cold War has disbanded. A much more powerful secular/welfare/socialist/union coalition now dominates, and will, until an economic super-depression tears the states apart.
The self-serving progs live in a dark place----they know only (1) the govt as enforcer, and, (2) the individual to be crushed.
Whereas Conservatives are strongly united by love of country----and a dynamic force of issue-centered groups, associations, churches, tea parties, the power of the internet and web sites. There's powerful organizing issues----patriots, military, gun owners, pro-lifers, prayer groups, 1st amendment defenders, Bible study groups.........and on and on and on.
Obama's forces of evil refuse to recognize constitutional freedoms----and refuse play by the constitutiona norms in place.
The Founders escaped foreign domination and structured our govt to protect the citizenry from tyrants and oppression. The safeguards are there----they merely have to be mobilized.
=====================================================
Conservatives have the manpower to conduct democratically-inspired sabotage at every point. Hold up every bill, refuse to fund anything, filibuster, investigate, and so on.
We are in the best position vis a vis the Dem/Prog/Obamanations. That's why we win, they lose.
