I don't see what's so bad about introducing new ideology and ways of thinking to people (regardless of what language they speak) who don't vote the way your good neighbors in Texas vote.
One small example: We've encountered many foreign and American taxi drivers in NYC, Washington DC and Chicago who tune into Rush and Hannity each day... their minds have been changed over time listening to these radio hosts.
Nearly every day Rush has callers who formerly voted straight democRAT... after listening to Rush's logical arguments why conservatism is better, they now vote Republican, and are convincing family members and friends to do the same. Sounds like a good thing to me...
Was Mourdock all that bad, or just trapped into saying something stupid once by the MSM? I really don’t know, as I was not too familiar with him or the race.
But I did hear Akin speak at length on Hannity when they were trying to get him to quit the race. I know he is an idiot.
Just in. Was out in Staten Island and Far Rockaway; It’s a damn shame.
When will the Intel hearings be re: Benghazi?
I know. During the primaries, he was nobody’s choice. I came to appreciate his qualities.
My concerns about him once he was elected were 1) how “global” and 2) how much will he compromise.
As for fraud, I think that is a given. We’ve come to know this Adm very, very well. Law/Constitution/morals/common decency mean nothing to them. The end justifies the means trumps always.
But I also think it will be impossible to prove fraud on the scale with which we believe it is happening.
Because I think it is a waste of time trying to prove it (or even dwell on it), I am concentrating on issues with this last election that are within our control in view of the next election.
alan grayson back in
yeah - our ‘principle’ voters sure showed us
I saw that, but I think it's a Fox network channel (with sit coms and dramas), not a news channel...
I haven’t heard a peep about Benghazi for a while. I guess it will be forgotten now.
You’re in the NY area, aren’t you? Yes, a lot of devastation out there. Very sad. Do you know of an area called Seagate? At the polls the other day a young woman volunteer (who is from my area originally) said she had been living there. Her place was destroyed.
Affirmative.
“Mitt Romney and the “Establishment Republicans” can go to hell! “
I just have to add because it pisses me off when so-called Christians speak this way, especially about a good man like Mitt Romney. Hussein, fine, I’ll agree 1000% but Republicans and Mitt? Extreme. Ya’ll need your heads examined and I hope to God you lose your jobs and homes as so many people will in the coming 4 years of REAL HELL we’re all going to go through because of people like you and liberals. United States of America will no longer be recognized as the great country it is by 2016. That will be on your heads.
Very much in agreement. What certain people seem to not have grasped is one simple principle we should all follow. Do everything you can to keep a liberal Phlegmocrat from having the power of incumbency. The dimwits who claimed things would be so bad by now that we would sweep into office simply are not thinking.
There are so many theories out there right now, my head is swimming, but one thing I can latch on to is that we do an AWFUL job trying to educate the different minorities on conservatism.
Countering the media is a great start, but we also have to show that we CARE somewhat about some of these smaller group, single-issue voters. These small groups add up to a LARGE number.
“I’m not a big Luntz fan, but I was intrigued by his statements and am hoping he writes a big article on his findings.”
I am not either, but I did see him yesterday and I almost sensed that he was about to break down crying. I may have miss labeled him....

I couldn’t agree more! We should cross the language barrier. Sometimes, finer points can be lost in translation especially when English may be a second language to those you wish to reach.
I just disagree with political parties or pundits painting any race with such a large brush - “reach out to Latinos because they all vote democrat” - that sort of thing.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
You sound like a coworker of mine. Says “morning” regardless of the time of day. Says it simplifies things...
Rush,
“There is no move to go back to slavery” is completely wrong. 59M Ameritopians voted to inslave 57M Americans. I find it amazing that black folks constantly bring up slavery as if they are against the concept in generaly. They are fine with slavery, so long as they get to be the masters!
I do get your point tho....
OH — the seminar callers. RuPaul callers today.
Hey lady11
Little Rock happened at the point of a Republican bayonet
Bobby Kennedy was the one trying to put MFK in jail
The Dems were the one with a KKK priest in the Senate
Wallace was a dem!!
We need to educate the people on how a free economy works. I'm appalled at the ignorance even from many conservatives on this subject. If people could learn to understand that one issue, they could soon learn to grasp how that affects every other aspect of their lives inside and outside of government.
