Do you need some motivation to get you to the polls today? I do.
And here's mine.
As you know, I've been extremely disappointed by the Republicans who have been in control of Congress and the presidency since 2001.
They waited far too long to act on border security. They increased spending beyond imagination. Far too often, they talked and acted like Democrats.
I've been a strong advocate of not voting for the lesser to two evils as a means of stimulating more competition in the political marketplace.
But I'd like to present the other side of that story today, as we consider the very real prospect of a Democratic victory in the midterm elections taking place as you read this.
There is another way to foster political competition. That is to destroy the Democratic Party or to change it fundamentally from a socialist, anti-U.S., appeasement party to one that is more in tune with mainstream American values.
Suppose the Democrats took a real beating today at the polls?
It could happen.
John Kerry made that prospect possible, in my opinion, the other day when he insulted our troops in Iraq. It was a gaffe of monumental proportions by a politician who is known for putting his foot in his mouth.
Let me remind you that John Kerry is not just a senator from Massachusetts. As the most recent nominee for the party's presidential candidate, he is also the head of the Democratic Party.
We could stay home and punish the Republicans. Or, we could go vote to really punish the Democrats not just punish them, but destroy them as a viable party.
Let's face it just a few days ago, Rep. Nancy Pelosi was measuring the drapes in the speaker's office. The Democrats have tasted victory already prematurely. What would happen if we denied it?
I think it would be a political earthquake.
I think the Democrats would have to re-evaluate everything.
I think they would have to look seriously at their message, at their candidates, at their philosophy, at the way they have turned their party into a bastion of extremists.
If ever there was an opportunity to deal the Democratic Party a deathblow from which they might not be able to recover, this could be it.
Their expectations were so high.
Even a status quo vote would be shocking to the Democrats.
Oh, sure, they would no doubt play the vote-fraud card. That will happen in all likelihood even if they win by a small margin.
But I, for one, would love to see what would happen just as a sociological and political experiment if the Democrats got trounced today.
I know this may sound like a different message than I have given you before. The truth is it is.
But today, as our brave troops continue the fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, I can't help but think of the disaster that awaits them, us, the Iraqi people and all freedom-loving people around the world if the Democrats take the House and Senate.
They've told us what they're going to do. They're going to cut and run, raise the white flag of surrender to the terrorists, sue for peace, appease the enemy. That's what they do. They did it in Vietnam and it took us 20 years to recover. We may never recover from another blow like that.
So that's what's going through my mind today in these final moments of the campaign. No, I'm not telling you to vote for just any old Republican, but I am suggesting strongly you vote against every single Democrat.
It's a win-win for us if the 'rats refuse to reevaluate. That would simply mean they will continue to lose. :-D
It will be enough only AFTER the polls close this evening. :-)
Not a chance. If we whip'em today the media will never stand for it. They will swear up nd down that the polls have been accurate this whole time and that RNC cheated. The loons will come out in a tirade this time.
Reciting that profession of faith is a full and legally binding (to Mohammedans) conversion to Islam. Every one of those schoolchildren is now under sentence of death if he participates in a Christian/Bhuddist/Jewish religion as a believer. That sentence can be carried out by any Mohammedan any time. That is a haha right now but when Mohos are a large minority in a city or a plurality it might be very serious. Consider the situation if, as I believe will probably happen, the illegal Latinos and their legal progeny convert to Islam wholesale as it becomes apparent that they will get thereby a grip on the balance of power in the country.
I believe the Democrat propaganda provided all too willingly by most of the Old Media is the main thing that has propped them up. Without that, they would be long dead already. Oh, there might still be a party called the Democrats, but they would be held accountable by the media and would not be able to get away with the massive fraud on the electorate that they do now.
You're probably right.
Destroying the Dem party is enough reason, but this guy did us no favors by holding out to the last minute. The stay at homes may cost some races. Today is not the day to stand on pompous ass notions.
There is no god named Allah and Mohammed is his false prophet.
That's the way to say the Shahada.
Oh, I don't think it's a haha at all.
Muslims are breeding 7 times more than any other group and will be holding more and more positions of power and influence in this country over the next 20 years.
You can tell I'm trying to scare people to the polls :-)
:-)
Thank you.
Finally, a positive article by Joseph Farah. I think he understands very well how bad is the alternative no matter how angry he is with the Republican Party.
Thank-you for the need for us who are signed-up voters to vote and not stay home. Early this morning I voted the minute the polls opened at 6:00 am.
my sent's too
But a federal judge appointed by President Clinton told them in so many words to get over it, that the state was merely teaching kids about another "culture."
In California, wouldn't Christianity itself be considered "another culture"?
I think that Farah is feeling what a lot people are feeling: that the Republicans aren't going to lose today.
Having taken the "Just stay home" route before, had Republicans done as he suggested (it wasn't REALLY a suggestion, it was a prediction), he would have been able to crow from his pulpit that he saw it coming, had the pulse, etc.
But he's feeling what everyone is feeling (I had lunch yesterday with depressed Democrats - THEY don't think they're going to sweep it anymore), and sees that his "Just stay home" stance is no longer accurately predictive. So, now, he wants to be sure to have his final election day article give a reason why he "switched" his view, so that he can turn out "right" in the end, and claim a degree of prognosticating power. reaching to find something to grasp, he groped for the Kerry comment. The Republicans are NOT going to win today because of Kerry. They are going to win today because Americans are simply not ready to go to the polls and vote for America to be defeated in a war. Everybody knew that was what this election was about from the get go. Kerry didn't say anything surprising.
Trouble is, the Democrat prognosticators hate the war, and wanted to use the media to depress turnout. But the turnout was going to be there anyway, because Americans are not going to go vote to lose a war. So now they have to find someone to BLAME, and that's Kerry. It's EASIER than accepting the idea that the country is never going to agree with you on the war. Taht's the Democrats CORE issue. They CAN'T let go of it. They are pathologically opposed to even necesasry war, like 1936 Western appeasers.
Very good post, agree 100%.
