Commentary
We are all over the map this election season. Based on recent conversations, many of us are disgusted with new business taxes, toll road plans, inconsistent leadership on immigration and a general consensus that our leaders are out of touch with the grassroots.
There is a lack of faith out there. That is it. That faith is missing this year.
Yes, the economic numbers look good, but that awful feeling in your stomach won’t go away. It is worse than a bad sinus infection in South Texas.
My prediction: Conservatives will get out and vote this November but they want to take someone down. I can feel it. They want to show the elites in our party that we have the ability to take out one of our own. This prediction is based on the level of disgust people are experiencing.
Many of the devoted unpaid grassroots activists I’ve spoken to recently are astonished by the level of apathy out there. It seems like our troops are tired and fed up with the whole game.
It is my humble belief that they really want to be inspired and motivated to take action. Where is the torch they can follow?
My suggestion: Quit complaining about the officials you do not like. Get up and rally behind some of our tremendous officials and candidates out there. We have some really talented folks in this great state.
Host a small reception or hit your neighborhood with some “push cards”.
We could get wiped out if we stay home and sulk.
Yes, you can make a difference. Get up and move- NOW!!
(F.Y.I. I believe that Secretary of State Roger Williams should take a sabbatical from his non-partisan job in the next few weeks. We need a coach who can rally the troops in these crucial hours. This will never happen but it would sure be nice.)
Quote: "Wake up drone. We're going to have her anyway. We need someone up to taking her on and we just don't have them."
Go to sleep and wake up back at DU. What is the matter, that Foley thing not working out? Too bad, conservatives are still going to vote, vuh vye.
My prediction: Conservatives will get out and vote this November but they want to take someone down. I can feel it. They want to show the elites in our party that we have the ability to take out one of our own. This prediction is based on the level of disgust people are experiencing.Or, it could be that Pat Buchanan works as a ghostwriter.
Texas survived Ann Richards and Bill Clinton...and that dark time reminded the GOP that Republican voters wanted CONSERVATIVE candidates who would FIGHT instead of compromise. However, the GOP seems to have forgotten that lesson lately.
Now we'll have to do this dance again. Hopefully the GOP gets it this time. If not, forget seeing a Republican majority for another 40 years...
