Your post is right on the mark. If we as conservatives are unhappy with our general election choices, then we didn't work hard enough to support true conservative candidates in the primaries. Still, we should support what we have.
I have a feeling that Nov. 7th is gonna be like the Bears/Cardinals game last night. 2nd half is just about to start. Get ready for the ride.
BTW. My heart goes out to you "Arizona Carolyn". As a Bear fan from Chicago, I can sympathize with a team that has a habit of choking when the talent is there. God knows we have been there.
But on Nov. 8th, I will have no sympathy for the Libs. That would be like having sympathy for the devil.
:)
LOL! If this is what the DNC is basing their campaign on, they are sure to lose.
A long time ago, when I was young, not yet voting, I attended a speech at a New Orleans church by Norman Thomas, the Socialist candidate for President. He was so friendly and convincing, I told myself I would be an American Socialist.
Sometime shortly thereafter, I watched a TV interview with the libertarian philospher Ayn Rand. I fell in love, bought all her books, and told myself I was a American libertarian. Still didn't vote.
Then one day, Ronald Reagan came to a college center in New Orleans and spoke for Goldwater. It was all over. I became a true American, a Republican. I then voted. Ayn Rand taught me a lot, but Ronald Reagan taught me what I needed to know. Of the real choices we have in front of us, the best is to keep all three branches in the hands of Republicans.
Oh, I'm angry. Angry enough to be sure to get out there and vote for Rick and Lynn and every other non-Democrat I can think of and to urge every Republican I know (sadly, not many) to get out and do the same. To the Dems further discredit, they've run a negative, mudslinging campaign from the beginning this time. Where are the words to sway us, to inspire us that they're here to help? And Rendell? Puh-lease. He should be running on the strength of the positive changes he's made in the last 4 years. Cue crickets. Awkward pause. All he has is mud. Hmmmm...
Yep. Funny huh?
Yes, vote "R" but then keep the pressure on them.
You can't just vote and think you're done - not in these dangerous times. If we controlled the media and the schools maybe we wouldn't have to work so hard but we don't ... yet.
I have to go out and buy a clothespin to put on my nose when I vote for Lincoln Chaffee......as bad as he is he is nowhere near as bad as Sheldon Whitehouse.
Not disenchanted with all the GOPers. Think Bush/Cheney/Rummy are doing a mostly great job. Applaud the House for taking the lead on a border fence w/o the "comprehensive" baggage, and think Senators like Sessions, Santorum, Cornyn, Brownback and a handfull of others are fantastic.
Meanshile, McCain, Chaffee, the Maine dingbats, etc can move to France for all I care.
OK so what exactly are the Democrats running on let see Change thats their platform change everything that the GOP did. Usijng hypnosis on America.. look deep into my eyes... things suck, America sucks, America is hated...Bush is bad, Cheney is the devil.... blah blah... Now what exactly does that platform mean..
1. No attacks since 911 because of Bush policies, Homeland Security and Patriot Act. Democrats will reverse those policies and we will be attacked again.
2. Thousands of Terrorists caught since going to Afghanistan and taking it to Al-Qaeda in Iraq... Dems say Bush bad job so all the terrorists go free. Dems treat future attacks like law enforcement. Tens of Thousands of U.S. Citizens next time.
3. Saddam Hussein deposed dictator by Bush... Dems will Re-install him back to power in Iraq.
4. Iraq and Afghanistan freely elected governments because of Bush. Dems reverse it they want those countriess back to tyranical regimes.
5. Economy booming even after mega disasters 911/Katrina... Dems raise taxes, kill economy, Depression sets in.
The question voters need to ask is do we really need change???
You're damned right I'm angry. I'm angry that the republicans didn't outlaw and do away with the traitor rat party in 1865!!!
I am angry.
Angry that the pubbies spent like drunken sailors.
Angry about the bridge to nowhere.
Angry that SS was not solved.
Angry that bush vetoed exactly ONE bill, and that was stem cells, of all things.
Angry that bush does not support the fence, until his feet were held to the fire.
I am supposed to be a poll watcher for clay shaw, but I don't feel like it, and don't feel like voting.
And I was one of the 535 broken glass types who put bush over the top, so long ago.
Let's see if bush has the balls to veto anything when pelosi and reid are in charge. If he does, nothing will change. In other words, we might has well have had them in charge for the past 4 years.
If he doesn't, well, we know it is time for another party.
Which is going to be more and more "vote third party" trolls.
If third parties were inteligent, they are not, they would realize that the death of the democrat party means third parties more up to second party. But there is a reason they are third parties and and democrat trolls get the naive to vote for the third party.
bump
Democrats need Stupid Republicans to win.
GREAT point. If it weren't for Perot, Clinton would have lost. Somehow, the media neglects to mention that. Perot got 19 million votes.
You said what I believe, much better than I could have. Thank you.
