Even in the bleakest of times, there is always a remnant.

My conservative congressman replaced a RINO in the great cleansing of republicans in the last election.

It seems odd to blame conservatism, since our candidate is most certainly not a conservative, possibly outside of foreign policy and the judiciary. How can conservatism lose if it’s not in the race?

Nevertheless, our movement will be blamed. (sigh of resignation)

Boys, who knows what the future holds? Even just three weeks from now is a mystery to all those but God. I will say this, though — four years is just the blink of an eye — two years a half a blink. What is timeless is truth — life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Patience...

And, mark it down, if there is a Democrat sweep, conservative Republicans will get the blame.

The Ross Perot wing of the conservative movement has done a great job indeed.

That did us a whole lot of good in 2006 didn’t it? Right now, our strategy and goal is different and we need seats, not housecleaning. Conservative R’s won’t have any influence if the dems have a filibuster proof majority. We have primaries for a reason, this is general election season and the next decade of legislative power is at stake. I am sure the dems would love for us to suddenly ‘teach the RINOs a lesson’ in a little under a month.

They had ten years and did nothing.

They flinched when they got a chance. Now, the consevative President is acting like a friggin commie.

Why would Americans vote for more Republican liberalism?

If the election were held today, Barack Obama would be the new President of the United States of America.
The latest Real Clear Politics average of national polls shows Obama ahead of McCain by nearly seven percentage points.

Well all righty then. Since the election is being decided by the enemedia and fraudulent polls *spit* I guess I'll just stay in bed Nov. 4th. Thanks for the heads up.
(BTW, do these polls *spit* tell you the margin that they oversample the rats?)

It looks like the Democrats are going to have control of both the White House and Congress for the next four years.

Wow, you're not too negative are you Mr. Connor?
Oh, that's right...if bHUSSEINo wins we will not be having any more elections, least of all midterms.
Geez...just shoot me!

"And, mark it down, if there is a Democrat sweep, conservative Republicans will get the blame."

I was a republican for decades. As of yesterday, I am no longer a Republican. The Republican Party has become another anti-family, anti-American party. It even shows in much of the hysterical rhetoric of the current campaign.

Yesterday I was reflecting on the 1994 mid term elections and the results. I guess that the leftward progress slowed with a Democrat in the White House and a leftist Supreme Court, but I had hoped for better.

However, liberals seemed to go crazy left. They became less and less willing to work with the majority and more staunch in their positions. The moderates didn’t have much of a voice anymore.

I don’t want Obama to become president and I am not convinced that he is really running ahead now. I think that the non committeds know who they are voting for. They just don’t want to admit they won’t vote for the one.

I do have the hope that if we do lose, we will take the path of the liberals in the 1990s and turn hard right. Apparently, that is not the kiss of death that the proponents of moderatism advocate.

I hate being this far out and the race is 2-3 points and we get people claiming the race is over and what we should do fix the problem of our defeat.

First thing is to IGNORE those who say the election is lost.

When in fact McCain is GAINING in the polls on O.

It ain’t over until November 4 th.

Should McCain stumble into the white house you'll get a conservative’s nightmare. McCain, a consummate RINO, will have a bipartisan (dem/RINO) cabinet that will give us more socialism lite. As things continue to go to hell for the next four years we conservatives will be blamed once again.

In 1976 we were in the same boat. After four years of grief with jimmah conservatism was reaffirmed. I can only hope for a repeat of history.

Only one problem, where do we get a 65 year old Ronald Reagan clone by 2010?

Leftist liberals are about to overtake the country and you are worry about “RINO”s, instead of the leftist Democrats!

Read this:

A Liberal Supermajority
Get ready for ‘change’ we haven’t seen since 1965, or 1933.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122420205889842989.html?mod=rss_opinion_main

If the current polls hold, Barack Obama will win the White House on November 4 and Democrats will consolidate their Congressional majorities, probably with a filibuster-proof Senate or very close to it. Without the ability to filibuster, the Senate would become like the House, able to pass whatever the majority wants.

Liberals would dominate the entire government in a way they haven’t since 1965, or 1933. In other words, the election would mark the restoration of the activist government that fell out of public favor in the 1970s. If the U.S. really is entering a period of unchecked left-wing ascendancy, Americans at least ought to understand what they will be getting, especially with the media cheering it all on.

You are just a school boy with no background in the world of reality.

I have been following elections since the time of Eisenhower on.
Also worked for Reagan when he first ran for Gov.

I remember the Korean War, the Viet Nam War and major activity today with the war in the Middle East where I have many relatives, not to mention the Cuban crisis, Berlin, and Cold War.

Duck and Cover drills and air raid sirens testing when I was in school as my city has the largest concentration of Navy and Marines.
Being for some days in Communist East Germany in the early 1980s.

America is not a board game. True Americans are still fighting to see that McCain wins and Republican victory over democrats in congress and st. gov.

If you think by trying to punish the Republicans by having Marxist & isolationists win, you really have no understanding that this is our last election if Obama wins.

An don’t go into the border issue, I have fought the issue of illegals for yrs.

Looking south from my apt. bldg, I can see the bay and part of Mexico jetting out. I am around 18 miles north of the largest and busiest border crossing in the world.
so don’t push that issue, I live it and am damn glad to vote for McCain as he is our last hope

I guess we are skipping the 2010 mid-term elections.

The leaders? The leaders are the ones who need to be replaced.

I walked around the state capital in Austin in 2000 in support of W. I know regret having done so. Hindsight is 20/20 but I have to wonder if we wouldn’t have been better off with Gore. He would have screwed up so bad the democrat party would have been destroyed and none of us would even know the name of Obama.
