I respectfully suggest (as you are probably yourself well aware) to the author that the opposing party must also have an affirmative policy program they advance to replace the complacent and perhaps corrupt one pursued by the party in power.
I can see Democrats being angry, but I don't see an affirmative policy. And I am not so asleep as to think that if I don't like Republicans I can sanely register a protest by simply not voting. Until the Democrats purge the insane ones in their midst I will not vote for a one of them, no matter how appealing personally or individually. I hope others take the same tack.
I just think of Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House & that gets my adrenalin pumping to go out and vote in November!
This recurring theme is becoming boring.
I don't think conservatives who are disillusioned with the republican party (and I have been all along) realize how left wing, corrupt and incompetent the democrat party has become. Do NOT trust your family to the left wing, they get people killed.
I won't stay home but I will vote conservative. What that means for the GOP is up to them.
Dream on.
We're going to vote.
Spend my money like democrats. Fail to secure my borders. Don't even try to further conservative ideas like limiting abortion. Kiss the backsides of any petro country?
Yeah, I'm excited about supporting a bunch of RINOs.
What ever happened to Reagan Conservatives? Smaller govt is better govt.
"Uh-oh: Republican voters might just stay home in November"
rat wishful thinking. The main reason Bush and the Republican's numbers are low are the problems they have made for themselves with some of the party's positions. These are serious problems to be sure, but they come from love of country, not love of party as drives the rat. When given a choice between turning the country over to people who are lusting for power and keeping it in the hands of people who want what's best for America, even if they are wrong in many ways, real Americans will not have a problem making the right choice. They will hold their noses and vote GOP.
I still don't think that this is as much a threat as Dim voters who actually show up at polls. I mean, remember in 2k when the rats in PBC couldn't punch holes properly? The entire country was flooded with new words like "Chads" which was short for "Too damn stupid to punch a proper hole". At least the conservatives who do show up could manage that feat.
You can ring the death nell for the Republican Party if they pass an amnesty and refuse to reinforce the southern border with an Israeli style fence.
No one is all that upset about the WOT, events in Iraq, all issues take a back seat to the globalist push to kill our nation state and sovereignty.
Americans are smarter than politicians give them credit for, we are fully aware of their agenda. Not showing up at the polls is the last thing politicians have to worry about, that ansentee protest is merely the quiet before the storm.
"It is clear that these issues have taken a toll. RT Strategies, headed by Thom Riehle, a veteran Democrat pollster, and Lance Tarrance, one of the pioneering pollsters on the Republican side, found that when respondents were asked which party they would like to see in control of Congress after these elections, Democrats had an advantage of 11 points among all adults, 48-37 percent; 12 points among registered voters, 49-37 percent; and 17 points among the most likely voters, 53-36 percent.
In the other variation of what has come to be known as the generic congressional ballot test, when people were asked whether they planned on voting for the Democrat candidate for Congress or the Republican, Democrats led by 12 points among adults, 44-32 percent; by 13 points among registered voters, 45-32 percent; and by a whopping 18 points among those most likely to vote, 50-32 percent."
I know the Repubs are in trouble, there's no doubt about that, but I don't believe a word of this crap. Charlie Cook, a democrat, wants us to believe the Repubs perform worse with registered voters, likely voters and most likely to vote? Garbage. Sounds like a Zogby poll to me.
I respectfully disagree.
The GOP faces misgivings about illegal immigration, terrorism within our borders from porous borders, and gas prices.
The vast majority of the GOP is behind President Bush on the war in Iraq, but don't try to tell the MSM that. They don't want to hear it.
The GOP faces not only enormous misgivings among voters about the war in Iraq -- which amounts to 70 or 80 percent of President Bush's problems -- but also a combination of Social Security, mounting budget deficits, Hurricane Katrina, Harriet Miers, port security, border security and immigration, gasoline prices and various scandals their gutless Majority in Congress.
