I have many reasons to vote Republican, and right now my number one reason is staying alive. Liberals cannot be trusted with our security

Yes, if we want to put the argument in one or two sentences -- and sometimes we must -- you've got it.

Well said, sir or ma'am!

Many right wing conservatives don't belive it but Lincoln had it right. This is a nation of the people by the people and for the people.

Politicians are always trying to get to over 50 percent support. Democrats start from the left and move toward the center. They hope to get just to the right of center so they have 50 plus percent of the votes. Republicans start from the right and try to get over 50 percent support. They must get some support to the left of center.

What the right fails to realize is they are just a bit more than a third of the voters. The right must have flunked math. They firmly believe that 36 percent of the voters can cast 51 percent of the votes.

The only way to move the nation to the right is to move the center to the right.

The right looks for a leader who will lead them to right wing heavan. They never get it. Leaders are not the problem .. the voters are the problem. Until they find a way to get more people to vote for conservatives they will not get many conservatives elected.

The right and the left firmly believe that if they just got their message out a majority of people would buy their views.

They don't understand that nearly every voter has heard both messages. Their problem is about 28 percent of the voters do not buy either message. That never stops the right and left from trying to get their message out. They just don't understand that to get elected and change anything one has to have majority support.

Thus to the left the Democrat is never left enough and to the right the Republican is never right enough.

What part of elected officials always try to garner majority support escapes fringe voters.
