Rush talked about the election a bit today. Three weeks before the election, the RNC has 100 million dollars to spend, while the Dems are 5 million in the hole.

_____________

Wow! Love those numbers.

As I said on another thread today, I signed up to make phone calls for the RNC. It is the least I could do to try and help ensure victory in November. Everyone should do the same!

I am one of the frustrated conservatives who vowed not to vote (it was the border issue for me) but d^%$#Fnm it, I just can't hand the keys over to the likes of Pelosi and Harrrrry. I'll be a broken glass voter and I'm going to call my local RNC office tomorrow and volunteer to drive people to the polls. (Republicans, of course.)

Not going down without a fight.

Can you imagine how much fun it's going to be watching all the pundits on the alphabet networks try to explain why, in fact, the GOP retained both houses of Congress?

I gotta go to the store and get some popcorn.

The most important item to remember...THIS IS THE DEMS LAST CHANCE. All the stops are being pulled on this. If they don't win they'll be banished to irrelevancy forever.

I have to say I disagree strongly with that statement. Socialists, liberals, Democrats are like a nasty rash or the hives or hemorrhoids--they can and will come back at a most uncomfortable time.

Always be on the alert for them--and defeat them before they start to flare up.

I'm glad to hear this. I was going to sit this one out due to the Republican congress in support of Tricare fee hikes, but I'm rethinking the alternative. Maybe, just maybe....

Please don't sit this race out. If not for yourself, cast your vote with me and my young nieces and nephew in mind. They do not deserve Pelosi and Reid. Thanks.

Yes, don't sit this one out! We need every R on deck.

That's not the way it works. When people think they're going to win, they tend to show up. Everybody wants to be on the winning team. If people think they're going to lose, they tend to stay home as "it's not worth the time and effort since we're going to lose anyway"...

That's why the media is trying to depress the heck out of Conservative voters. The reason the Republicans usually do better than the Dems on election day is that Conservatives tend to care more about this country than liberals who hate it. I hope it's the case in a few weeks.

They just postponed them till the next congress.

President Bush and the Joint Chiefs of Staff want the hikes. It's just a matter of time. Republicans always took care of us...ALWAYS. Democrats always screwed us over. Now, it's just the opposite. It's insane. If the fees go up (they'll triple) then I won't have any insurance...can't afford it.

Might I point out that the ONLY people who fought tooth and nail for the Conservatives on the border WERE the US House GOP? If you are pissed about the Border, PLEASE, DON'T take it out on the ONLY people in DC who are on your side.

"I'll be a broken glass voter and I'm going to call my local RNC office tomorrow and volunteer to drive people to the polls."

It's because of caring Americans like you that our country has prevailed through difficult times.

We will never all agree on everything, and we would never allow a President to have enough power to do all he might want. Therefore, we have to settle for what we can get and work for the overall good.

I, like you, am volunteering. We can make a difference.
