I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm sick and tired of the hand-wringing defeatist doom-and-gloom losers that seem to haunt FR these days like Jim McGreevey at a turnpike rest-stop.
Therefore, with your indulgence and that of the mods, I would like to start a sequence of threads counting down to election day whereupon we can record what we are doing in a POSITIVE way to help elect McCain/Palin and Republicans and defeat Obama/Biden and the Democrats.
The following actions do not count:
1. Writing a whining vanity on FR about how the McCain campaign needs to change now or it's all over.
2.) Posting an article on FR highlighting a "bad news" poll.
3.) Posting comments on FR whining about unfair media coverage.
There are a lot of positive, meaningful things that many of us are and should be doing to help achieve victory. Much of this involves volunteering for the campaign and getting out into your community with the truth about Obama and his abysmal record, inexperience, and shady associates.
The media won't do it, so it's up to us. Are you up to the challenge?
It's my hope that these threads will serve as a clearing-house for such ideas and an inspiration for those folks who are still sitting on their butts to get up and do something!
That’s not true. You did do something... for Obama. You helped promote his Marxist campaign by intentionally trying to sabotage this thread. Which is your prerogative. But don’t you dare ever try to pass yourself off as a conservative ever again.
Blaming them for not doing everything my way.
I continue to hammer Obama with my witty and informative status comments on FaceBook, to my audience of 600 “friends.” Obama is apparently besting McCain in the world of social networking too, as I have had to repeatly report Obama facebook sponsored ads as “irrelevant” or “pornographic” lol
I sharpened my voting pencil and then sharpened a back up pencil.
Most newspapers now have an online section that allows sending them in with email so its easy.
Hammer the liberal democrats in Congress for the economic mess they caused by pushing CRA and protecting ACORN. Obama is up to his ample ears in the ACORN CRA mess.
My local paper only allows someone to write one letter per month but I always get that one/month printed.
Anyone living in a hunting state should hammer obama on gun control and being endorsed by the national humane society.
Anyone that can type a post to a thread can sure send in some LTE’s and they are effective.
A back-up plan - very good! :-)
I'm skeptical that this actually works. I'm a veteran of the 2000 election, when much the same thing was going on in reverse. The "broken glass" GOPers of that year loved Dubya, and the Dems were at best lukewarm about Gore. Dubya got so arrogant and cocky about his chances that he actually campaigned on the left coast a week before the election in an attempt to run up the EC score of his coming blowout win. I think this made lots of Dems mad and they voted in droves.
The Obamatons/media are making the same mistake this year. And they are being much uglier about it than Dubya ever was on his worst day in 2000. It is making lots of GOPers and right-leaning Independents mad as hell. And with Sarah Palin now finally getting to show her Sarah Barracuda side (and doing a damn good job at it, I might add), the GOP base is finally getting fired up. We have been begging for months for McCain to start going after the real left wing radical Barack Obama, not the phony centrist Manchurian candidate Barack Obama that we saw last night. The formidable GOP GOTV operation (which, thankfully, is run by the RNC rather than the McCain campaign) still exists and is better funded than ever. Obama brags about his operation, but he is merely doing things that the GOP started doing six years ago. Contrary to all the propaganda we are hearing, I don't see the Dems having any significant turnout advantage in this election, and that means that I remain optimistic that McCain will win.
ALL of the south suburbs here in Dayton are McCain signs. Far more than Bush-—I attribute this to a lot of people didn’t like Bush’s “religiousity.” (I actually overheard a conversation in a donut shop among four businessmen-—whom I bet were cheating on their wives and doing funny things with tax returns-—who were complaining in 2000 that Bush had ties to “Falwell and Robertson.” They were almost certainly “country club” Republicans who didn’t want to hear about abortion or sin. But I’m betting McCain gets every one of their votes.
Is that a new party?
How about "NoWayInHellToWinism" or "TotalWasteOfTimeism" or "CouldNotVoteForThisTicketIfMyLifeDependedOnItism".
It is what it is, and I did not make it that nor did I want it that way.
But......So it is.....
I re-arrange the magazine displays at the store so that trash rags are hidden (all the ones who publish lies about Palin) - also ask the person who controls the remote at your gym to change at least one of the bank of tv’s to FOX NEWS
Call me naive, call me stupid; but I know that the polls are spewed, and we all know that the msm want O to win. This morning on all stations with the exception of Fox, they were calling the election over. It’s disgraceful, and I won’t fall for it!
You could call it payback.
You’re a piece...

McCain is a socialist, just not to the same degree as his opponent.
What did I do? The question is, what the hell did McCain do? He played the socialist RINO role to perfection yet again, courting the all important “Moderate”, or “clueless” vote while throwing the conservative republican base over a cliff. Palin gets his campaign back on track and the spineless lib from Arizona sells out the American people whenever he opens his mouth. The election??? Very simple. I’m buying another Glock, a bunch of ammunition and surrounding my house with electrified barbed wire. Jackbooted Obamatons will be shot on sight.
