"These are not the Conservatives you are looking for."
Posted on 10/19/2006 8:12:15 AM PDT by Conservative_Rob
Please forgive this vanity, but I don't know where else to go to ask this question.
Is there a coordinated and deliberate attempt by the media and Democrat plants at blog sites to distort and outright lie about everything concerning this election in order to manipulate voters?
I live in the heart of Santorum country in Pennsylvania, and now I'm being told that, even here, Casey is ahead. I don't buy it. I am feeling lied to and being taken for a fool.
No one I know has even the slightest thought of sitting out, or not voting, or even voting for the opponent in order to "punish" the Republicans. Everyone I know sees the improvement in the economy, knows the need to fight terrorism in the Middle East instead of here, and wants to fight illegal immigration at our borders and in the workplaces. They all know that the positions of the two major political parties are diametrically opposed on all of these issues. They see a clear and distinct difference between the Republicans and Democrats.
So, where are these millions of anti-Republican voters? Am I to believe that Americans are so stupid as to vote for the Communist Party because of Mark Foley’s instant messages to adult sexual partners?? Is the political process in this country so broken that voters can be led around like little sheep and tricked into voting for whomever the media tells them to??
I am convinced that the internet is being targeted by the Democrat party by flooding conservative message boards with fake messages from supposed disenfranchised conservatives to promote discord and a defeatist atmosphere. DON'T BUY INTO IT!!! As Rush says, “Why would anyone use a strategy of defeat in order to win??”
My prayers are for a Republican gain in both houses. If, as has happened in the past, the Democrats do not win like the news media has told us it would, I want an investigation into the manipulative media practices of the pollsters and the major news outlets into their use of inaccurate and outright fraudulent new stories (i.e., fake and skewed polls) to attempt to manipulate the outcome of an election. I equate the political news reporting this election season to an effort to tell Republican voters that their election will be held on Wednesday instead of Tuesday in order to reduce crowding at the polls.
If the media’s use of fake polls and selective reporting is successful in changing Congress, then the future of this Republic is in question, and the day of the revolution will be that much closer. I can’t believe that the so called “hard nose“ conservatives who see no good in the current activities of the Republican party want to send this country several steps closer to a Socialist or Communist people’s paradise in what looks like a 7 year old’s temper tantrum.
I am a “hard nose” conservative who supported Pat Toomey over Arlen Specter, and I see plenty to fault the Republican party with, but I will not simply “take my marbles and go home” because I’m not getting my way. I am angry that there wasn’t a legitimate Republican primary in Pennsylvania this year, but I won’t sit out the election just because the party leadership in this state is somewhat corrupt and needs changing. Rick Santorum is a good senator and deserves to be reelected. He is not perfect, but he is a lot more conservative than Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, Chuckie Schumer, and Hillary Clinton, and I will not allow my actions or inactions to promote their Socialist, defeatist, agenda one little bit. Why would anyone who believes in limited and responsible government do anything that would result in overbearing and irresponsible government??
If you look at the turnout at the primaries, the Republicans showed up in much greater numbers than the Democrats. They know this, so their only hope to win is to reduce the number of Republican voters on November 7. Show them that you can not be manipulated. Go out and VOTE!!!
I don't think so either Rob, so don't sweat all this stuff, it's a distraction.
Rob: I believe Santorum is going to pull it out. Here's three things you can do to help:
1. Remind Conservatives that the Senate confirms SCOTUS Justices.
2. Go to this website to volunteer to help: www.ricksantorum.com/youcall
3. Pray for freezing rain in Philly and Pittsburgh on November 7.
IMHO, I think even Eddie is pi$$ed at ol bobby. Bobbies last tv ad claims that PA LOST 180K jobs in the last five years.
Well just smack Eddie in the face why don't you.
If Eddie gets Pi$$ed enough, the Philly union thugs will either sit it out or get amnesia on what lever they are suppose to pull for Bobbie.
I'm thinking Eddies numbers and Bobbies numbers will not jive.
Certainly!
They are Nationalizing the mid term local elections, just as we did to them after the House Banking scandal, and we creamed them very nicely and took over the reigns of power as a result.
This is what we call affectionately.......Politics!
They way we defeat such things, is to go to the polls and vote straight republican tickets. It works everytime it is tried.
So get your purple finger as soon as the polls open and bring some friends and family, and we will take the wind out of their sails.

You're not hallucinating. Coverage of the election this year makes 2004 look positively balanced.
That is a terrific angle. Wow.

I need some yard signs and I don't like going downtown to get one. LOL you think they would deliver me one?

The LameStreaMedia is following the mandate of the insurgents and Al Queda in Iraq.
Al Queda and the insurgents in Iraq know that they cannot win militarily; that they can only win if the American fifth columns help make the American people discouraged enough to simply quit winning.
In their own writings (captured by Iraqi government and US forces) Al Queda and the insurgents said they would do everything they could to increase their attacks and kill more Americans in October. They are counting on their friends in the American media to make a mantra of the additional deaths, and not report that it is that anti-war media mantra the insurgents and Al Queda seek as their weapon.
Following on that principal, the LameStreamMedia has decided to add its own war-tools to help the terrorists achieve their goal - a U.S. Conngress that will let the terrorists and Iraqi insurgents win.
Is there a coordinated and deliberate attempt by the media and Democrat plants at blog sites to distort and outright lie about everything concerning this election in order to manipulate voters?
YES
I'm from Tennessee and I feel a lot like you. Ed Bryant, for whom I voted in the Republican primary and to whose campaign I contributed $100, would have been a far better candidate and senator than Bob Corker, our current candidate. The alternative to Corker, however, is Harold Ford, Jr., a slick, slimy DemonRat candidate, who's campaigning as though he were a Republican and whose ads never mention that he's a DemonRat from one of the most corrupt political families in Tennessee. For me to sit out the election and allow that slime ball to win would be one of the dumbest acts of rule or ruin politics imaginable; thus I'm an enthusiastic Corker supporter.
We've got to win this election because the survival of the country literally depends on it. Allowing ourselves to be blinded by our legitimate disenchantment with some of the things some Republicans do and have done is to let childish emotions get in the way of the imperative need to save this country from the Islamofascist subhuman terrorists and their domestic Communist (aka DemonRat) allies.
President Bush's polls continue to fall 'cause of illegal immigration, Ramandan-ding-dong-dinners, high levels of pork spending, apparent ineffectiveness in Iraq (why is Sadr still alive?) and quite a few other annoying things.
Tax cuts and a good economy are not the only things to be considered.
These days I just try to remember who I was voting against. I'd be even unhappier with Gore and Kerry.
Not that any of this will keep me from voting, or make me vote for a commie-pinko Democrat.
DAMMIT!
What the hell is my absentee ballot doing in the trash????
Not only what you said...but a bunch of us have been misrepresenting our positions when pollsters do call...we want Polling banned in all political elections!
I'm not saying that campaigns shouldn't be allowed to conduct surveys of their voters but the use of public Polling simply helps the politicians remain un-truthful as to their real positions!
While there was much about McCain's campaign finance law I found objectionable, if he had included a ban on campaign polling and manipulation, I would have found it more palatable!
Might I remind you of some of the screams from NY liberals after Nixon won re-election over George McGovern. Nixon couldnt have won. Everyone I know voted for McGovern.
Now there's a TV ad that Sanctorum could use...."Bob Casey says that Pa. has lost 180000 jobs while Governor Rendell states that he has grown Pa's economy, poor bumbling Casey, at odds even with his own party"
Think Sanctorum would use it....nahhhh!
It's BS that's what! Here in Arizona both Jon Kyl and JD Hayworth have subtstantial leads and yet in the governors race, our democrat gov'r (according to polls) is like 12-14 points up over Len Munsil ( a fine Conservative, Christian man and excellent choice for governor). When we got the booklet of candidates in the mail, guess what? THey had some independent at the bottom registered as Republican and Len was on the back side as the main republican. I was so livid over the obvious placement and I am helping volunteer (because we're friends of the Munsils) for him and pray our get out the vote efforts will reach out. Janet Napolitano is a two-faced liberal who needs to be thrown out of Arizona!
With that said, using the media's own numbers, I should know at least one person who voted Republican in 2004 who will not vote that way on November 7, especially since I reside in a "hard core" conservative area that is royally pi**ed at the over spending in Congress and the apparent pussy footing around terroists in the battle field and in our prison camps.
