So the people want a radical socialist named Osama Obama who will shut everyone up with the fairness doctrine ?
What has he ever accomplished DU er?

[ncalburt]

What concerns me is the same crowd that peddle the great strategy go sitting out the 2006 to teach the RNC a lesson ans now tell in us to sit this one out too !
Grow UP. You win some and lose some in politics !
McCain cab beat either candidate as long as we don't stand divided.
Please this is the far left Houston Chronicle reporting here . Its a Dem, front group.
They failed to even mention that Texas primary results have not mattered in 30 years !

If you’re white, you might want to be sure to 1) get your passports in line, 2) have a foriegn bank account ready for quick transfer of assets and 2) have a landing spot researched somewhere south of the border.

"It's not that so many more rats turn out than republicans, it's just when they do go out to vote, it's early and often."

It certainly does seem that there are a lot more of 'em showing up this year - against not too very many on our side.

["early voting off to a blazing start (nearly 8 times as many as in 2004)".....??]

"have a landing spot researched somewhere south of the border"

We need to grab the Mexican coasts: the East for the oil, archeological sites and beaches and West for the geography. climate and beaches. Let the drug dealers have the middle.

Beaches, Broads and Tequila. That’s my plan!

So the people want a radical socialist named Osama Obama...

It may be too late for the republicans to beat the democrats by doing what their voters exect of them. If Obama manages to get elected it will be because the republican leaders didn't have anything or anyone to offer that attracted voters. If republicans want to act like democrats who needs them. Unfortunately we will probably lose some local offices and congressional seats because of the attitude of the state and national party officials.

There are no cookie cutter perfect republicans.
But helping the radical left take over all three branches of gov’t and blaming everyone but yourself is childish behavior. Its irrational thinking and emotional based just like the Dems voters.

[Def Conservative]

You are ignoring reality. Obama is kicking our butts, you dont have to be a DUer to realize that. This is what happens when the liberals get a candidate they can be excited about and the Republicans get one that we really don’t care for but will settle for as the lesser of two evils.

It’s gonna be a long 4 years folks, plan accordingly.
