I understand what you feel as I disobeyed the Commander and voted Conservative in NC myself, but what it proves is that most people hear one thing and cannot hear two. It’s a severe risk to run and we may well live to regret it, but Rush did make both points over and over again. What this proves is that the urge to mess up Democrat politicking proved far more resonant than the theme that said, ‘oh by the way, this is what you do when you don’t have something constructive to do on your own party side.’ I heard that instruction pretty clearly, but that might just mean I’m singular or at least unusual.
Truth be told, the Dem candidates are so egregious in NC this year that anyone willing to be labeled a Republican has to be more satisfactory. I still preferred Fred Smith (and voted so) though it made little difference in the end. Once again, the voters are being suckered with panem et circenses (it works every time) and the whole process is being drawn leftward as a result. How do you compete when your opponent says, ‘hey, I’ll gladly steal Joe SixPack’s lunch for you’? Do you say ‘I’ll ask him politely if he’ll share’? Somehow that seems weak, in the circumstances, and I suggest anyone using that tactic will lose.
Americans seem in the mood to thwack and to steal this year. Gotta really despise such cavilling, but gotta live with it when so many are so casual about going ahead with it.
Today is Thursday. Whatever happened Tuesday is water under the bridge. We now have a ballot (short of a VP) for November, and a group of Republican candidates that regardless of who they may have been up against a few days ago (or months ago), are still standing much taller on the issues than those who are on the Democrat's side of the ballot.
Go McCain!
Go Dole!
Go McCrory!
Go Rouzer!
