Anyone that does not vote republican in this atmosphere, is a rat, an idiot or just will never understand the costs of freedom. Which are you?

If you can't handle the truth, go to a left wing website.

Convincing people to vote republican is wise. Attempting to purge the party 3 days before a tight election is idiotic.

I am a volunteer for Santorum {taking a break after 50 calls this morning} and either I hit the "good call list" or the demonRATS are going to be very disappointed on the 8th.

The breakdown is:

38 Will definetly vote for Rick {plus spouses and relatives}

8 not home left messages

2 Disconnected numbers

2 going to vote bobby jr. These two losers wanted to waste my time and get into an arguement but I'm too busy to try and convert losers at this stage. I thanked them and made the next call.

Hey PA Residents, it's not too late for you to volunteer to make calls or poll watch, or drive people to the polls. Give Rick and Swann some help, the response is very good. Keep the faith, pray on Sunday and vote on Tuesday.

Exactly. We have some republicans running for re-election and some new candidates that are far from perfect for most of us, yet putting the donks in power is not the answer right now. Let's survive this election cycle, then we can work on these republicans.

The time to punish the Republican incumbent is in the primary!

Both the Democrats and Republicans are driving us toward a cliff. They just disagree about the speed. The Democrats want to go a lot faster. The Republicans a little more slowly. With the Republicans we will at least have more time to set things right before it's too late. Now is the time to stick with the party and then do some starting Nov. 8.
If a conservative decides to teach the Republican party a lesson on election day, he and his loved ones are going to pay the price for that lesson. The tuition for that lesson will be make Harvard tuition look like peanuts.

I voted last week. Had to vote for a couple of RINOs, which makes me sick, but there is no way I could vote for the Demoncrat candidates...no way.

And honestly, not voting for the republican is killing me. I always vote Republican. But I can't stand this guy Kean, he embodies everything I disdain in politics, and he WILL LOSE anyway (in a blowout--you'll see) so I'm not going to vote for him.

This is a special case and should not influence any other voters in any other states as from what I've seen, the GOP has a pretty solid slate of candidates (except for Kean)

Well if you can't understand not voting or voting for someone other than Kean only helps give REID the reigns to control future judicial nominees, such as three possible openings on the US supreme court and financing for the war on terror, then you are worthless to the republican party.

OH, a professor of truth, right here on this website. Ask yourself- have you said anything that hasn't already been said?

And Mr. Rooney, I don't recall mentioning who I am voting for, but if it is of utmost importance to you, I am voting straight R as I have since I became of voting age.

That still doesn't change the fact that this post is yet another droning vanity with the same content as all the other vanities. It is tiresome, and if I may be so blunt, probably counterproductive. Calling anyone wavering (as some have on this thread) "traitors" if they don't vote Republican is as stupid as it can get as a rhetorical tool.

Get it? Probably not... you'll simply take this as an insult and go off on me half-cocked again. But whatever. Party on the 7th, everyone is invited.

Normally, the option to not vote, or vote for the Dem'crat, would be an adequate strategy to express dissatisfaction with a Republican officeholder with whom you may disagree. But there is an assumption that both Dem'crats and all Republicans are honestly representing the interests of US citizens. This has become less and less so in recent years.

If the Dem'crat IS elected to power, complaints and objections to his (or her) misuse of the office will go unheard, or no direct response is made to the one who complains. What does happen is that the dissident is persecuted in little ways, like his income taxes are audited, or a permit is delayed, or even a few rumors are started in the neighborhood, calling into question his behavior and civic responsibilities.

There is a popular belief that this has happened with Republican officeholders, and in some cases, this may be true. But the whole idea of less government intrusion into the affairs of the individual is that this sort of thing does NOT happen, so long as the citizen keeps the law. The Dem'crat, on the other hand, wants a profusion of laws, many of which, on close examination, are in direct contradiction to each other, so no matter how one may wish to keep within the law, some part of the statutory code is always being broken. But Dem'crats don't enforce the law, as long as they are not being troubled by dissidents, then they apply it selectively, as a means of suppressing the rabble-rousers.

The difference? Republican officeholders are at least somewhat responsive to the voices of their constituents, while Dem'crats are working with an agenda that is crafted elsewhere, and not revealed to the local voters. The Dem'crat almost always maintains a very good "service" center, where favors and monetary reimbursements are dispensed to assure the continued support of a good-sized core of voters, and a "listening" activity seems to be ready to accept requests, but complaining about the service, unh-uh. That buys the complainer endless trouble.

Eventually, the troublesome person moves elsewhere, or shuts up altogether.

Anybody recognize a pattern here?

Unfortunately it's not just the country that is at stake, it is the lives of their children and grandchildren.

The democrats will get us all killed by playing defense with terrorists that hide in the shadows whom will wait to strike us and will have all the time in the world to plan their attacks because they are not afraid of being captured or killed. Republicans will keep us safe and capture or kill the terrorists. Big distinction.

Thanks for calling me stupid, jkerry.

If Kean didn't make his comments about Rumsfeld, I would've held my nose and voted for him anyway. But what he said is just a little preview of what you'll get from this guy.

And, BTW, it doesn't matter anyway because Kean will lose by at least 8 points!!!

So you can make the most of your question mark key.

Seriously, I know what is at stake in this election and I am very concerned. But vanities such as this does nothing but add noise to the dialogue and I wish it world just stop.

But in the interest of keeping your blood pressure low, I will stop now.
