In Tennessee we have early voting in primaries. This year, of all things not to do, that is it. Enough of our candidates are basically qualified to make it essential to watch all the debates and wait until the last minute before deciding whom to vote for.

I really try to have a good Christian outlook on things and about people, but every time I see the name “Obama” I end up having to ask forgiveness for thinking, “what a waste of useful human organs”.

The proper Christian response is to pray the scriptures over obama. I usually use Psalms 109:8, sometimes adding verse 9. I figure if it was a good enough prayer for David, a man after God's own heart, then it's good enough for me to pray too.

This (not voting early) also applies to the general election. Try to vote as late as possible. It keeps the democrats guessing as to how many fraudulent votes they need to manufacture.

I don’t think so.

Obama has 40% of the vote without lifting a finger: parasites, Crony Capitalists, ACORN, Unions, illegal alien vote fraud (along with their enablers and their overseers), the MSM, etc.

Since he also has a billion dollars to spend on his re-election, its a hell of a uphill fight.

Absolutely but the way these campaign cycles run on forever she needs to do that now. I think regardless she wins the nomination if she tosses her hat in. The base will certainly decide as proven by the 2010 results.

I certainly hope so. Maybe they'll join the Whigs?

No, he wants to raise a billion dollars, he doesn't have a billion dollars. This crew knows that just claiming something makes a lot of people think it's already in hand. They even had you convinced!

“Had I been really thinking I would have remembered the Reagan Rule.”

Reagan was a smart man.

Some seem to think the 11th commandment means you can’t disagree with your opponents. No; you can point out their weaknesses and stress your strengths. But debate should be respectful and not insulting, name calling, or call into question the motivations of your opponent. That’s how I see it.

Every one of the people running for the nomination right now have some positives. I have my preferences but I am not in despair. We have some good contenders.

I think Obama wins next year and the Dems gain seats in the House. The GOP may make a small net gain in the Senate. The NY-26 race is the template for how it will be done in the House and in the Presidential race too.

I would say the GOP is divided right now. That is not just a fiction put forth by the media. The "moderates" love big government as much as the Dems do, they just want to be the ones to decide how big government is utilized. And they are nearly as determined to keep conservative ideas from succeeding as are the Democrats, which makes you wonder if they should even be a part of the GOP at this point.

[Article] Some leftists ......have brainwashed themselves so much about Joe McCarthy that they are now scared of normal Americans.

Considering what they had in mind for us (remember Bill Ayers's 25,000,000 disappearing Americans?), and what they've said about us, they ought to be.

Sen. McCarthy called the Democratic Party the party of treason. That fits the party more today than when Sen. McCarthy called them out.

Actually, I would disagree with the last statement.

The Venona Papers, available to Ann Coulter when she wrote Treason but not to Bill Buckley when he wrote his second consideration of the McCarthy era 10 years earlier (he'd written another book back in the 1950's iirc), make it clear that McCarthy's accusations were fully substantive and true.

All the cases where McCarthy "bullied" people -- shame, shame, cried the lying liberals (who knew better, Ann points out -- they knew) -- he was correct and right to be tenacious in his questioning, and the only reason he could not drive his stakes into the enemy's hearts 275 times was that he knew it was important to protect Venona and the NSA.

Ann makes this point over and over -- McCarthy was fully correct and morally right, and his enemies knew it, but they drove him out of public life and into an early grave anyway. (He was dead at 49.) Now there is a flowering of evil for you.

And liberals did all this, she tells us, because their pwecious pwogwams were too impowtant to the countwy to let Republicans like Nixon and McCarthy derail them!

</Truman Capote>

But since George McGovern (himself a delegate at Stalin's rump convention that nominated Henry Wallace in 1948), Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton brought the New Left to power in the Democratic Party, the Stalinist cabal has been hard at work, and Obama is their payoff.

Of that there can be no doubt.

Once the lefties lose the advantage they have among women, they are electoral TOAST.

That's when, and why, Beastwoman will resign and declare herself, and her goat-footed consort break cover, to challenge Obama for the nomination next year.

Obama knows how to win with dirty politics, and his minions will unleash "Chicago Style Politics"

That's what Michael Barone was saying, the article points out.

We know Dingy Harry and the SEIU will bring the corruption. Do you suppose they'll descend to beating poll-watchers?

The Democrat party is more openly Communistic now than back in Sen. McCarthy's time.

p.s. I have "Blacklisted by History," but I have to read it. As I've practically finished, "Rush Limbaugh, an army of one," I'll be able to get to M. Stanton Evans book soon.

I don't put anything past them and neither should you.

What an interesting thought.

Of course, poll-watchers need to vote early, or absentee.
