Very Dangerous Conduct Among Republicans and Freepers.
Complacency Kills.
My friends, this is a dangerous time. Never before has there been an election that so threatens America. Simply put, if John Kerry wins, the United States will simply become an “equal citizen” of the world, along with every other country.
John Kerry is much more of a citizen of the “World” than he is a US citizen. Yes, he was born here. However, his education was in the French cantons of Switzerland, at a time when the “Hate Everything American” was stronger there than it is even now. Today, we are simply seeing the regurgitation of what his far-left liberal French teachers taught him.
But, with all that is at stake, we Conservatives are much too complacent. We all, myself included, act like this was in the bag.
We were also way ahead in 2000.
The election of John Kerry would mean the end of the America we know today.
We must not be complacent. We must work so very hard every day. Get signs up, attach bumper stickers. There has been a very quiet campaign within the gay community to emplace signs and bumper stickers. We must counter that.
Every day, in every way possible, we have to act like our country’s future depended on our work. It does.
We have to hustle like we were 20 points behind in the polls. We have to give of ourselves in every way possible.
The candidate and his or her supporters who work the hardest win elections.
Let’s outwork them every day.
Yes we can Lose this thing very easily
I do not think anyone is taking this for granted.
The polls said Chavez was behind by 20 points until election day. He then won by 20 points. So yes anything is possible.
If the polls say that Bush is leading by 99%, I'm still going to vote.
Be Ever Vigilant!
That is also what I fear the most. If Bush is not behind the helm these next 4 years-America will be plunged into the "darkest Years" it has ever known.
"Kerry Is SCARY"
Good points. Turnout for Republicans is critical, and if I was running the show I would be reminding people every day of how close the Democrats came to stealing the last Presidential election
Ditto. I think most here are "broken-glass" Republicans. At least, I am.
Absolutely.
We have to get out every vote we can to overcome all the dead Democrats, as well as the thousands of mental patients who will be bussed to voting booths and instructed to push the button next to the "D."
And, of course, the many homeless who will vote for Kerry in exchange for a pack of smokes.
All the scenarios I see for Bush losing have to do with various means of vote fraud. And that is very frightening. How do we combat it though? That's the mystery for many decades it seems.
For those who believe in fasting and prayer..now is the time. It works.
The good part is that are a lot of discouraged democrats.
Yes we can. The fact the race has tightened should help in thwarting complacency and overconfidence. It will motivate our side to get out and VOTE. That's the important thing. If we believe this election in the bag, that's when we could have an unpleasant surprise. We have to work for our victory. Now LET'S ROLL!!!
Yeah, and then there's Diana Kerry over in Australia rallying the "Americans Abroad" vote while enouraging Australians to pull out of the coalition.
Especially since the same people are "monitoring" this election...
I haven't seen much complacency here at FR (with a few exceptions). But I agree--the worst thing we can do is act as if we can't lose. Because we can.
It is not a mystery, we combat it by making sure the President wins by an unquestionable margin. That is done by spending all the time we can spare at our local Republican Headquarters, making phone calls, knocking on doors, or whatever else needs to be done.
