I was raised a dim in West Texas. I can remember asking my mom why we had to have two elections - the one in the spring always decided who won in Nov. I did not know what a 'primary' was.

I voted for Carter om '76 - I just did not like Ford. I voted for RR in '80, and have voted 'R' every time since.

The 2000 election certainly convinced me that EVERY vote counts, and that the dims will try to steal any election they think they can.

Rush convinced me that I am a conservative, not a moderate.

Anyone who does not vote R next fall is giving the election to the dims. Stand for you convictions in the PRIMARY, not the GENERAL. Any of you who are one issue voters get what you deserve. Unfortunately, so do the rest of us. 2006 is a great example of what can happen when some stay home.

'Rats. RINOs. No diff. And I'll be darned if I'm gonna vote for someone just 'cuz he's got an R after his name.

No, its a great example of what happens when the GOP abandons its principles and people calling on others to do same.
