How a fight is won determines what happens to the victor after the victory. During the Revolution Washington begged for just about everything he needed -- he had to -- yet he kept stout hearted even when anxiously solicting support that was hard to come by. After the victory, he was great man -- the greatest of men in his time.

Greasing his way before him would not have made him a great man after victory, and our nation would not be near to what we are today, but all in pieces.

It is critical that we get the Senate back with a workable majority. It is essential for our survival as a republic and to stem the tide of socialism. The dems are now hiding behind the document they have tried for so long to re-write. They have co-opted your issues and pulled the wool over their constituants eyes.

The only way we will suvive is to stay with the republican party and get them to reverse the trends. It is the only hope we have as a country. Otherwise we will emulate Europe and be subject to the U.N.!

That's funny, because I heard George Will talking about George Washington a couple of weekends ago and he said that Washington paid for barrels of whiskey at polling places, to attract voters. That was a common practice at the time.
