Drudge headlines

[HD1200]

This should be interesting!

[Halls]

Obama should go where? LOL!

[mainepatsfan]

Is this among Democrats or voters in general?

[freedomlover]

But neither the snake nor the mongoose will leave the fight . . .

[Red Badger]

I think they should both go........and let Dennis Kookcinich have at it!.........

[ClearCase_guy]

It’s the old irresistable force meeting immovable object. They are locked in an endless struggle: so closely matched that they can’t back away from the fight. I’m loving it.

[HD1200]

I would guess it is among Democrats.

[TommyDale]

99% think they should ALL drop out!

[Mase]

Paging Al Gore....Mr. Al Gore please pick up the white courtesy phone.......

[Adams]

Of course 90% of us here said the same thing if McCain got the GOP nomination. We were all going to stay home and not vote, right? Right?

[HD1200]

I think it was just you and 4 others that were threatening that; you all just made a lot of noise over it so it sounded like a lot more.

[Aquinasfan]

I have to hand it to Rush and “Operation Chaos.” I thought it was a waste of time, but this just keeps getting better and better.

[FrPR]

Now now.

[arderkrag]

I’m sticking to what I said - voting third party. People mshouldn’t boast unless they are willing to back it up. I, on the other hand, follow through.

[Dr. Ursus]

Well, there goes the elf vote!

[LRS]

If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double

[F15Eagle]

Ha! Good catch on the headline.

[Sender]

[USS Alaska]

It’s the old irresistable force meeting immovable object. They are locked in an endless struggle: so closely matched that they can’t back away from the fight. I’m loving it.

Don't tase me bro.

[Red Badger]

Did you ever notice that Ron Paul’s and Dennis Kookcinich’s poll numbers were always nearly the same?............

[NYC Republican]

Rush is AWESOME. I supported this move from day 1... I don’t get why this is news though... I would have expected my higher numbers on each side... I would have expected at least half of each candidates’ supporters to want the other to leave, and that’s close to 25%.

[poindexter]

[LibLieSlayer]

Hey Rush... I love a well executed plan!

LLS

[Porterville]

Obama is such a jackass they had to send him to a secluded island to shut him up.

That is funny when a politician has to leave the country and hide at a resort because he is afraid of speaking.....

Another day lost for Obama is less time for him to dig himself out of the racist hole he dug.... but another day here is another day to dig deeper- because he is stupid.

[yldstrk]

I recall my husband threw away his vote like one year and voted for Ross Perot or some such.......fat lot of good that did.

[Oldhunk]

Good for you. If we could only convince everyone here to do the same, we would insure we will have European style socialism in place in just a few years.

[RGSpincich]

Why is this shocking? The numbers are vaguely consistent with the vote, thus far.

[Enchante]

22% want Hillary out, 22% want Obama out.....

..... and 56% say “Yippee, the fun is just beginning, make more popcorn!”

[wideawake]

Of course 90% of us here said the same thing if McCain got the GOP nomination. We were all going to stay home and not vote, right? Right?

FReepers are not as representative a sample of Republicans as the Rasmussen poll was of Democrats.

If FReepers were representative, then McCain would have lost every state primary he ran in.

[Porterville]

Voting 3rd party?.... What a waste of time. Why don't you plant some flowers around your neighborhood instead... or bake some cookies.

[pbear8]

I agree with the 22%.

[wideawake]

Indeed. Every time my wife fumes about how repulsive Hillary Clinton and her policies are, I remind her that if she and a few million other voters had not been asleep at the wheel in ‘92 and had voted for Bush instead of that diminutive paranoid lunatic Perot, Hillary Clinton would still be a petty grafting attorney in AK.

[arderkrag]

Well, you won’t keep that from happening by holding your nose and voting. That’s a losing tactic every single time, I figure anyone with any sesne should have the ability to look at history and figure that out. It’s far better to stand on your principles and vote your conscience than to vote just to try to keep socialists out of office.

[AmericanMade1776]

DEMOCRALYPSE!!!!

[OB1kNOb]

OPERATION CHAOS !!

[timydnuc]

And Orville Redenbacher says both of them should stay.

[arderkrag]

Because voting third party is two things - one, supporting the party I belong to, and two, voting for someone I agree with. It’s far more a waste to vote for party X to keep party Y out of office. Hold-your-nose-and-vote is a losing strategy. People need to wise up to this. There’s a reason the major parties are losing members, and it’s because of strategies like this.

[FatherofFive]

Paging Al Gore....Mr. Al Gore please pick up the white courtesy phone.......

This may be the downside of Operation Chaos. Clinton & Obama both so blodied and unelectable that the convention choses Algore. Nobel prize winner. More votes than Bush in 2000. Budget surpluses. Low gas prices. Best economy in 50 years. No war in Iraq. Etc.

Could pose trouble for McCain.

[HD1200]

His vote and several hundred thousand others like it got us Bill Clinton. Tell him thanks................%$###*#*#

[arderkrag]

Wrong. Running sorry, uninspiring candidates got you that. Blaming it on third party voters is nothing but passing blame.

[Porterville]

Play to win or don’t play.

It is weak to lose, pride is a waste of time. Next cycle fight for your guy.....

But if you have that pride eating away at you do what you have to. ...

When I was a kid I’d punch walls when I was angry... I almost broke my hand... that was stupid.

[Oldhunk]

Once the socialists implement their agenda, there will be no turning back. The genie will be out of the bottle. It’s not a matter of waiting them out for the next election. The longer you hold them off the better. Maybe the Republican leadership will grow some brains one of these days.

[popdonnelly]

“Once the socialists implement their agenda, there will be no turning back.”

Problem is, they’ve been implementing their agenda for a long time now.

[arderkrag]

Play to win or don’t play.

What don't you people understand about this? This is a losing strategy! The "just win" mentality has helped tear apart the foundations of the Republican party and replaced what it once was (a small government, anti-social legislation party) with a party that's more concerned with "OMG GAYZ WANNA MARRY" garbage than actual important issues. EVERY election is the time to fight for your values. There is no "most important election" (though every election is billed as that), every election you should vote for the man who most fits your priniciples, even if yours is the only vote he gets.

[arderkrag]

You speak as if it’s inevitable, and it’s not. And the way to stop it is not “hold your nose and vote”. Once again, a losing, defeatist strategy.

[Always Right]

Of course 90% of us here said the same thing if McCain got the GOP nomination. We were all going to stay home and not vote, right? Right?

I bet a large percentage here still don't vote for McCain.

[wildbill]

Karl Rove, you magnificent bastard, you’ve done it again.

[Porterville]

What you are doing is taking your ball and going home.

There is only one game in town this year..... next round train your team harder...

[jdm]

Obama should go where? LOL!

To rehab, just like that Isiah guy from Grey's Anatomy. Clean out the racism in his system.

[bestrongbpositive]

“Operatin Chaos” the gift that keeps on giving.
