“Why can’t the “moderate” (liberal) wing of the Party ever vote Conservative?”

They would, but first we have to get one nominated. To do that conservatives will have to get behind ONE candidate, and not piss away primary votes fringe turds like Ron Paul or others with no chance of winning.

Demanding closed primaries would be a good first step.

Discovering that 110% of registered voters in an area voted and all of them voted Democrat does the Republicans no good at all. Those votes will not be thrown out. They will count, no matter how open the cheating. Some Democrat ops may eventually be fined. One or two may even go to jail but they will be rewarded handsomely by their Party and it is all worth it to them.

Interesting question. The reason the moderate/liberal wing of the Republican party cannot vote for conservatives is multiplied. First, realize that they are foremost, and proudly so, Progressives in heart, soul and mind and use the Republican label to hide their Utopian totalitarianism. Voting for a conservative would mean having to explain your vote at the club or over cocktails with only the finest of your fellow Progressives of both parties. Secondly, conservatism derails the eternal nature of failed Federal program spending engrossed by more and more government departments or agencies that exist at the Federal level in direct conflict with the Constitution dictates and that is an assault on their portfolios and refocuses government back to a local level where their manipulations are not so easily hidden. Thirdly, and maybe most importantly, they hated and still to this day hate Ronald Reagan because abandoning and actively working against Barry Goldwater in 1960 was insufficient in dissuading Southern and Western conservatives from continuing to participate in liberal Northeast Republican politics. Unfortunately, the party's leadership, successfully learning the socialist tendencies of the post Reagan Democrat party, quietly took over the reins of leadership and now their deep, multitiered level of control of the party is shown for what it is, an entrenched, profuse tentacled, tumor that requires requires radical surgery to remove. Hopefully, the conservatives in the House and Senate routs the top levels leaders in January and actually confronts and unwaveringly does not shrink from battling the imperial usurper of America.

The problem isn’t polling, it is Vote Fraud.
____________________________________________________
Yes, it is fraud but the democratic party is now so much more than voter fraud, it has become a TOTALLY corrupt criminal enterprise on every political level. If this criminal enterprise is allowed to operate unabated, the country is doomed. They will destroy it and dance in the streets as they celebrate their criminality. There will be no let up until they have killed the goose that lays the golden eggs. Totalitarianism is the final destination.

Correct. The salient issue is the ability of pollsters to determine the impact of electoral fraud. It may seem impossible but paying close attention to Democrat tactics should make everything clear.
Fraud is a policy issue for Dems. Their ground game tacticians base their efforts on the extent to which they can commit fraud. There is no attempt to hide or get away with anything. They know they will not be caught because no one is doing the catching. Small potato workers may be held accountable but only if an entire system of deceit comes unraveled.
It would be most helpful if polling organizations maintained a line item for fraud. It would get us closer to the true nature of elections and it would give them a better chance of getting their prognostications correct.

“One problem with the polls. They don’t poll the dead.”

That’s because it would be pointless. You see, the dead ALWAYS LIE and say they are not going to vote but when election day comes they all rise up and vote for the rats.

I’m working on the Annette Teijeiro campaign in Nevada Congressional district 1. We shouldn’t have a bat’s chance in hell against uber liberal incumbent Dina Titus. But holy smokes, we think we are dead even from the primary results and the early voting party breakout.

Fight on until the last vote is counted!

Erick doesn’t even *bring up* vote fraud in the article.

Someone posted a horrifying graphic of the four swing states (PA, FL, OH and KY)’s fraud that gave the election to zero, against most polling.

MS SCOTUS ruled yesterday in Cochran’s favor after he compelled voters to commit fraud by voting in both the R and D primaries.

I can’t even imagine what heinous fraud will be evident in CO: how will the RATS know when to stop counting the fraudulent votes they ‘harvested’ and filled in to avoid Chickenpoop and Udall from winning with 20% margins?

I peeked into DU the other day and the libtards were bemoaning the fact that Republicans commit vote fraud. I don’t know if the person was serious or just preaching it to the others.
