Rush's...Polls in Key Races Showing Movement in Republican Direction
Rush Limbaugh ^ | October 20, 2006 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 10/21/2006 3:59:45 AM PDT by Oakleaf

-Snip- My guess is there are races like this out there being totally ignored by the Drive-By Media because they don't fit the action line.

-Snip=

One more poll result, ladies and gentlemen. This is from Rasmussen via Real Clear Politics: "Montana Senate race, Conrad Burns (who is, by the way, "toast." To help you put this in perspective, Conrad Burns is toast. It's over. Fini. That's it.) has now moved within three points of John Tester, the Democrat in Montana. I don't know. I'm looking at all this, and I'm smelling movement of some kind, and I'm drawn also, ladies and gentlemen, to our astute phone call from yesterday, said these pollsters need credibility at the end of the day, and he fully expects all these polls to tighten up in the next two weeks or so as we get close to the election.

These wide spreads that we've seen up to now in the polls are designed to depress conservatives and Republicans and thus to suppress turnout, make it look like it's a lost cause. To help along this notion that it is a sweep across the board. I know, Republican pollsters are saying the same thing, Republican strategists filled with doom and gloom. This is the Washington crowd, folks. They're all drinking the same Kool-Aid. They're all subject to the same aura that is there inside the Beltway, but there clearly is some movement here, and it probably will continue. I was thinking more and more about this Republican base not showing up, anger and so forth.

Are you promoting *a needed slap in the face*? Look in the mirror. And WAKE UP.

He noted that while no political party has has more than a 4% edge in actual voter turnout in the past 12 years of so, the polls showing the DemocRATs ahead typically had 8% to 12% DemocRATs in their sample.

Get a freaking grip.

Of course not. I would never vote for a Democrat. Just saying that the Dems taking over the House and having the American public seeing the loonies en regalia wouldn't be bad for 2008.

I thought the same thing in 1976. Reagan, who I supported, lost the primary to Gerald Ford. I was so anti-Ford I welcomed Jimmy Carter as president. I though after four years of Carter, America would vote en masse for Reagan. And I was right, because that's what happened.

But I was also very wrong, and very selfish. Carter hurt America very badly. His idiocy is still with us today in the form of the anti-American Looney Left and Political Correctness. He gave rise to Islamic Fascism which has killed thousands and is still with us today, especially in Mad-Mullah-controlled Iran which are hours from a nuclear weapon.

It could have been different. We could have stuck with Ford that year and followed up with Ronald W. Reagan. The nation has been on a conservative trend for 40 years now. There is no need to teach the America voters a harsh lesson. And most importantly, President Bush does not need the legacy of impeachment for standing up to the Islamic Fascists and trying to keep this nation safe.

The downside of your desire to let the Dems have control for 2 years in order to re-consolidate conservative gains is rife with danger as well. Who can say if control will go back to the Republicans, or that they'll even learn the lesson you intend on teaching. They might decide there is more votes in a moderate stance. If the Dems go hard Left, the Republicans might see a void in the soft middle. Also, your plan gives a huge moral lift to the drive by media who is playing a very skilled game against all things conservative.

It is this issue, illegal immigration, that the Democrats are losing big...Democrats are losing on the issue of illegal immigration, and it just makes me mad. This election wouldn't even be close if the Republican Party had been on the right side of the illegal immigration issue from the get-go and had hammered the Democrats with it and forced them to take a losing position, which is what's happening in Oregon.

I read the entire article and this is the last paragraph of Rush's comments. Needless to say, he nailed it and the proof is that in "Blue" Oregon this issue is helping the GOP.

I would like to see the Dems take over the House.

Are you sure about that? During wartime? After learning of Ted Kennedy's treason in the '80s? After knowing that regardless of the fact that that treason has come out, the entire democrat party will defend that treason?

This is not a game, and the democrats are extremely dangerous to the survival of this country -- in fact, to the survival of the civilized world.

The time to teach the Republicans a lesson is in the primaries. The time to fight for the survival of civilization is in the general election.

You may hold your nose and vote for that jerk DeWine, but as for me I'm voting the atraight Republican line for all except DeWine. I can't do it. I've absolutely had it with his backstabbing RINO ways.

Ref. Post #8:

Conrad's problems are minor but to an uninformed electorate, it hurts.

#1. He's sort of a crusty ol' fart who came across with good ol' boy, corny jokes in the first couple of debates. Since then, he has appeared more sober (in more ways than one) and statesman-like.

#2. The Tester family is well known and liked in Montana and Jon boy is half Conrad's age, an agressive campaigner and a bald-faced, opportunistic liar.

#3. The Dems smell blood this year are are going after Conrad like never before.

#4. His ties to Abramhoff has hurt him as well.

BOTTOM LINE: It will be close but I've just got to believe that Montanans will vote their conservative conscience.

Personally, while I hope the Pubs retain the Senate, I would like to see the Dems take over the House. One, it would be a needed slap in the face to the somnabulent House leadership.

Nancy loves you. We hear that she personally signed your hat and bumper sticker shown below.

Wow. Like it or not, there are a LOT of insane people running around out there with severe cases of Bush Derangement Syndrome. Remember the movie that's about to come out, "Death of a President" that depicts the murder of GWB in 2007? This is their fantasy. You also seem to have forgotten that there are terrorists out there who would dearly love to murder this president. And they are willing to die trying. And they've already proven they're willing to do the unthinkable. We underestimate them at our own peril.

We're living in extremely dangerous times, and the Democrats are a huge part of the problem. Given the chance, they'll get us all killed.

Rush also said that this election wouldn't even be close if Bush and the party had been on the right side of the immigration issue and banged on it relentlessly. And he is right. Nobody to blame but themselves if they lose.

The uninformed American electorate is not smart enough to pick up on all that.

I feel your pain, I don't know if I could vote for a DeWine type either. But, if you let him lose you can't punish him. If elected the electorate can go after him and keep after him to change his smelly ways. Being a Republican there is hope for change. There is no way to change a Demonrat, they only sound conservative for a campaign.

What we need are more contested primaries.

We need to find a way to open up and fund the primary process without allowing some multi gazillionaire to step in and control the election.


Most sensible thing I've heard so far today. But then, it's only 9:15 a.m. CDT.

What angers me is the fact that this is a GOP Justice Department doing the so-called "investigation" right before the election. Whassup wit dat?

Yes indeedy. I (and my family) have volunteered to go out and knock on doors for the last 72 hours get out the vote effort. We did it in 04 and Florida was in Bush's column. We also drove people to the polls and called on the phone. We need to do everything we can to win this election.

NPR discussions have been about Democratic landslides and the hosts are giddy. It is time to shut down that political organization. With Soros they don't need their cheesy telethons or contributions from jihadists.
