Many Democrats may hate the war in Iraq and itch to dump the president, but a new GOP survey shows that Republican base voters stand ready to jam the November polls to return their team to Congress. A three-page-survey memo obtained by Washington Whispers reveals that despite reports of some dissatisfaction with the economy, the war, and President Bush, 81 percent of Republican voters are "almost certain" to vote and an additional 14 percent say they are "very likely." It goes without saying that they'll vote Republican: By a margin of 84 percent to 6 percent, they will pull the GOP toggle switch in the voting booth. And here is something you don't hear very often: 88 percent of Republicans approve of how the prez is handling his job. What's it all mean? Analysts say that GOP voters are ready to dig in and play defense against the charges Democrats are tossing at Republican candidates.
The memo also helps to define what issues work for Republican candidates. The survey--officially tilted "Base Mobilization Survey Finds and Conclusions"--divided the issues into foreign and domestic. On the foreign side, it's all terrorism and war with polling that finds GOP voters back the war, worry about Democratic attacks on the fight against terrorism, and think the Patriot Act, moves to tighten the border, and even telephone surveillance are good things. And their favorite domestic issues aren't a surprise: They are pro-tax cuts, big on cultural values, and worried that Democrats want to put too much bureaucracy in healthcare. Another nonshocker: They don't like the media's war stories, thinking that they are too negative. Some 60 percent of the GOP base expresses "extremely high dissatisfaction" with the coverage of the war.
The club for growth is like 7-2 in congressional primaries. I can think of atleast 2 house seats that will be more conservative next year (one in NE, and one in MI)
Yep. They are getting eaasier for me to spot. Did you notice how he threw in ALL the hot topics...immigration, home schooling, etc?
We know these lamos as well as we do the Treason Media.
Look, I'm from TN. I know the climate. We're a center-right state, we aren't MS. We have a rat Govenor (who governs from the center-right). Here's the lay of the land:
We have a gay marriage ban on the ballot in Nov.
We have a disproportionate population of military and families.
We have what might be the nationally deciding Senate race in Harold For Jr and Bob Corker.
There aren't enough words to explain how hated the Ford family is in TN, outside of Memphis. Yet, Junior has been groomed since childhood for this very moment in time. He puts himself forward as a moderate, even center-right, which he can get away with because the people in his district would vote for Barry Goldwater as long as his name was Barry Goldwater Ford. The Fords run that town. So he's carefully positioned himself as the most conservative of TNs rats, hired a first-rate staff, and brought in the big guns (CLinton was here last week).
Corker won the primary by default. He's center-right as well (he's changed his position from pro-choice to pro-life), and his opponents were far more conservative. But the Stupid Party split the conservative vote between Van Hilleary and Ed Bryant (who should have won), and now we have Corker.
I only tell you this because it's a real-life example of what you're talking about. Do we vote for the (so-called) RINO Corker, or for the so-called DINO Ford? If you knew TN politics, you'd know there's no chance in Hades pubbies will cross over to Ford. There is no other choice, and I mean that literally. 3rd parties haven't done anything here since Wallace.
No, there will be heavy Republican turnout this fall, due to the gay marriage amendment, and to vote AGAINST Ford. Personally, my vote will be against his crooked father, his indicted uncle, his aunt who was stripped of her seat because of rampant election fraud, his whole darn Memphis Mafia clan. To do that, I have no choice but to vote for the RINO.
Bookmarking for November.
Bump!
What a relief!
Now hush; we're going to win in November so we're busy doing what we always do, getting people elected to office. Unlike you.
We're going to need every vote we can muster...to cancel all the dead people and illegals casting ballots.
Chief, Hoss, Jack, etc., what, do you have one of those word-generators for names to call people?
Your post #133, if you are serious, brands you as out-of-the-mainstream, and most probably a nutcase, as if any of your previous posts didn't do so. I say yer a TROLL.
So how, exactly, is conservatism compassionate? The only way I can think of is to just leave people alone to live their lives. Compassion is the realm of the Church and not the Federal Government.
Yes, refreshing good news. Thanks.
So you have set yourself up as some sort of elite "Super Conservative" who has come to pass judgement on us ordinary goobers.
We don't play the "I'm More Conservitive Than Thou" on this forum.
You actually seem to be more of a "closet liberal" who is about to "come out".
Thanks, Howlin. I shall read it right now.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm tired of pussyfooting around.
Anyone advocating the loss of power in November to Dems is not only not a conservative. They don't care about America.
Big BUMP!
