Bump for later. Not that I need any convincing, as my tag-line attests.
bump for later - and I've got ringside tickets to watch Every. Bone-crunching. Blow.
Do you have a Cliff"s Notes version for your post?
Pretty early in the morning to be drinking.
I would think the first 6 words of his post headline would do the trick. ;-)
Good work here.
Don't think Mehlman has written about this much..........
However, only 38% of the Country is self identified as conservative and a quarter of those think the Republicans are too liberal. The base is not as big as you propose.
A Republican majority stays in place when they have something to offer a majority of the voting public in November.
Because the Dems are so bad will not win Republican majorities.
Maybe in your world. In the real world dumbed-down Americans are scrambling to vote agains Bush regardless of the fact that he's not running.
Jmaron great post. It is so frustrating to watch the old media try to supppress GOP voters with doomsday articles like in today's Chicago Tribune, where Charlie Cook calls the Elections a Horror show for the GOP. Is Cook a Democrat helping suppress the Republican base? He is calling for the DEMS to win the House, but of course backtracks in the end by saying a major event can swing the tides. Cook blew the 1996,2000 and 2002 elections when he called for the DEMS to win, but is still treated like a GOD by the media. What gives?
I like optimism so thanks for taking the time to write that post. Have a happy and healthy Labor Day.
bump for later.
As much as I would like to beleive this post, I have to agree that the dumbed down sheeple will prevent any GOP gains and will probably hand the GOP a some losses, though not in the wet dream numbers being touted by the lamestream media.
You have to also consider the fact that the GOP is doing their best to shoot themselves in the foot. F'rinstance Bush just won't shut up about his "comprehensive immigration reform." It is almost as if the RATs are writing the script for the stupid party.
Just hope that this guy is right!!!!
Amen to that! I am so sick of hearing the likes of Hannity say, "What do you think will happen and we wake up to find Pelosi is Speaker of the House?"
As conservatives we are left out. The extreme left gets heard but those of us who are to right of center are ignored.
Wow..... what a great piece of work!!
..........we are being hit with a barrage of Democrat favoring media psy-ops articles......
There are also a smattering of preemptive articles doubting the Rat victory. No less than Rahm Emanuel has covered his own butt by blaming Dean for not raising hte money he needs to assure the victory. That is for me handwriting on the wall. The chief Clintoid is whineing he is losing.
I don't disagree with your senario that the GOP will pick up seats....
But I'm not sure what the Texas vote fraud has to do with it. They aren't going to pick up any seats in the locale where that fraud occurred and will continue to occur. It's a way of life and a couple of slaps on the wrist won't change it, imo. Certain areas lean predominately to one party or the other. This will continue as will the practice of some CD being set asides for minorities, etc.
Fantastic analysis. This is why I'm convinced that for whatever reason, the polls simply are not capturing American voting sentiment.
"1) America self identifies 36% to 19% conservative over liberal. "
Problem is most Americans don't know it but they are liberals. That 36% to 19% number is Conservatives over Socialists. Democrats that freely say they are liberal are actually flat out socialists.
We use the word liberal incorrectly in todays society. I am a liberal. Ok, you ask why then have I been participating on a Conservative web site for the better part of four years?
Well, on some issues I am a conservative and on some I am liberal. The war, practicing my faith, our economy, education, crime, the Constitution I am a conservative. As far as a gay getting married, I don't give a squat. So because of that 1 issue, I am no longer a Conservative. I am now considered a liberal.
And this is the problem with American politics and why the left did what they did. They can. The Democrats are vulnerable to the left because we have called them libs for so long, they just accepted it and the left moved in and took over the party.
I blame Sean, Rush, Coulter for it. These leftists aren't liberals. They are socialists, Marxists, Fascists who are out to change this country over to a power structure governed by rich white people and the UN. Because they know they will be part of the hierachy and not the proletariat.
Their enemy is Conservatism. We are the global enemy. And our main method of getting out the word are treating these anti American goons like they are just Democrats instead of calling them what they are. That's why the left fails on radio, because they are projecting what they actually are and doing it to a very small audience.
They hate America and think everyone with a "D" next to their name share their ideology. They are wrong and Rush, Sean and the rest need to get that message out. Tell the world that Pelosi and Reid, Kennedy and Kerry are Marxists and what their true goal is. We have proof, we have documented evidence.
Call them what they are. Take off the mask of Marxism once and for all.
With all those new GOP registrations in Florida, you would think that Katherine Harris would be a shoe-in to become our next US Senator, especially the way she is pandering to the fundamntalists which you list as another reason.
Unlike 04 when issues on the ballots were things like state consitutinal bans on gay marriage, this year we have things like amending the constitution in Missouri to make embryonic stem cell research legal in the state, taking the decision away from politicians in Jefferson City. This ammendment is suppported by more than 70% of Missourians and is getting heavy advertising support. This makes life difficult for Senator Talent who opposes stem cell research and who is in statistical deadheat with his Dem challenger.
I didn't read your entire post, but what I did read was encouraging. And good application of the term "psy ops" for what the MSM is trying to do, to convince the country that the House race is all but over!
