27 Days Left -- What did you do TODAY to help Republicans win?

Free Republic Exclusive | 10/9/08 | Antoninus

[Antoninus]

There are 27 days left for you to make a difference in the 2008 political season.

What you are doing in a POSITIVE way to help elect McCain/Palin and Republicans and defeat Obama/Biden and the Democrats?

Please note that the following actions do not count:

1.) Seagulling on a thread highlighting positive developments.

2.) Offering the McCain campaign advice on what they should be doing (unless you're a paid political consultant with years of experience, that is).

3.) Thinking you're funny by saying, "I did nothing." The prospect of Barack Obama as president of the U.S.A. is not funny.

There are many positive, meaningful things we can and should be doing to help achieve victory. Much of this involves volunteering for the campaign and getting out into your community with the truth about Obama and his abysmal record, inexperience, and shady associates.

The media won't do it, so it's up to us. Are you up to the challenge?

If so, sound off on this thread!

28 Days Left -- What did you do TODAY to help Republicans win?

[Antoninus]

Here's what I did today:

1.) posted my Democrats For McCain (PDF) flyer on FaceBook.

2.) wrote a blog article about pay parity in publishing and linked in Obama's hypocrisy on that issue.

3.) bought some McCain/Palin buttons on CafePress to give away to some college-aged friends.

4.) contributed some $$ to the McCain/Palin Victory 2008 joint fundraising committee

Ping worthy?

[El Sordo]

I’d be interested in hearing what McCain actually did this week to help Republicans win.

[Past Your Eyes]

Posted this picture on a couple of discussion boards.

[Randy Larsen]

I sat down and mulled my future!

When mcCain started naming names, I said “Cool”!

[IronJack]

The prospect of Barack Obama as president of the U.S.A. is not funny.

Neither is the prospect of John McCain as president of the USA.

[Old Sarge]

What did the REPUBLICANS do to help Republicans win?

Or did they continue curling up in a fetal crouch whimpering, “Why don’t they like us?”

[KansasGirl]

I’m making phone calls. You can register to make phone calls at the McCain-Palin official site.

It is easy.

I’d be interested in hearing what McCain actually did this week to help Republicans win.

For the second day in a row, a defeatist is the first to post on this thread.

I'm detecting a pattern.

Since when did FR become populated with such losers? I've been here for nearly 10 years--it never used to be like this.

[diamond6]

I prayed.

[Antoninus]

Nice. Scary, but nice.

[Old Sarge]

I sat down with ulled wine.

Which I will be doing a lot of, to help get through the next four years.

[Old Sarge]

*Mulled...

[KansasGirl]

LOL!

[ladyvet]

Nothing...but Monday I start knocking on doors again till five P.M. night of the election. :^)

[Antoninus]

I prayed.

An important and underestimated aspect of this election.

I'm trying to say a rosary every morning for McCain/Palin.

[Tarpon]

I was buying tires at Walmart and got into it with a Bush hater, Obama supporter, behind the service counter. Before it was done there was a crowd of 9 cheering me on. I really let him have it. When it ended, he said “I don’t vote anyway” and walked off.

EMBARRASSED is a word that came to mind afterwards. Sheesh, was I mad.

But I did what I had to do, got in his face, right Barry Hussein Obama.

[purplelobster]

I’ve been spreading the word about Obama’s relationship with his former employer/mentor/friend Bill Ayers. Despite what the pundits on television and in print have been telling us, I think that this is a positive thing to do. Ayers and Obama’s project in the ‘90’s to indoctrinate kids with Marxist propaganda is negative.

[Florida native]

1. Prayed for God's guidance and protection for McCain and Palin.

2. I talked to my college aged daughter about Obama's radical past and how Ayers, etc fit into the picture - knowing she'll go back to classes on Monday and tell her friends.

[Randy Larsen]

Don’t lose faith yet my FRiend!

Let’s see what mcCain can do for himself!

It’s his to win now!

[Salvation]

$$$$$

[coloradomomba]

volunteered at RNC headquarters here in town, manned phone bank for 4 hours , signed up to be a poll watcher on Nov. 4.,bought Sarah Palin apparel for my daughters and myself, called my deeply religious sister and convinced her not to vote for Obama (still working on my Dad), argued (and kicked A$$) with an Obama supporter who foolishly assumed I was an Obama fan, and bought Corsi’s book. Can't wait til tomorrow.!!

[Antoninus]

Neither is the prospect of John McCain as president of the USA.

McCain is acceptable if not preferable. Like him or not, he's a bona fide war hero and a patriot.

Obama is an outright international socialist. He's a radical ally of the far left with violent and racist associates. If that's not enough to get you to the polls, then you deserve to live under a regime headed by such a person.

Sarah Palin as VP is the real reason I'm pumped for this election. If McCain wins, Sarah wins, and in the end, we all win.

[Antoninus]

Nothing...but Monday I start knocking on doors again till five P.M. night of the election. :^)

God bless ya!

[theDentist]

I answered the phone when the RNC called to demand (yes, demand) a $300 donation, listened politely, and hung up.

I then donated $100 to my Representative.

Since when does the RNC not only DEMAND a donation, but tell you how much it will be? W T F ???

[bluecollarman]

I wrote a song

[coloradomomba]

O my gosh, most important of all-—started the day with prayers for Palin and McCain and our great nation.

[Antoninus]

But I did what I had to do, got in his face, right Barry Hussein Obama.

Love it! Well done!

[potlatch]

I finally got on my local newspaper's forum and started posting material about Obama. Naturally I immediately got feedback which I have been replying to.

What irritated me was one of the newspaper's columnists who wrote a silly article about ‘why can't we all just get along’ as to politics, lol!

[Old Sarge]

It’s also his to lose.

And I don’t trust The Sheep - and after my time in Iraq, I never will again.

[Antoninus]

I’ve been spreading the word about Obama’s relationship with his former employer/mentor/friend Bill Ayers. Despite what the pundits on television and in print have been telling us, I think that this is a positive thing to do.

I agree. Getting the truth out there about Obama is always positive and we can't expect the media to do it for us. You can flip votes with this information and it should be used accordingly.

[Antoninus]

I talked to my college aged daughter about Obama's radical past and how Ayers, etc fit into the picture - knowing she'll go back to classes on Monday and tell her friends.

Great. Every youth vote we can flip is one less for Barry O. Focus on the responsible ones--i.e., the ones who will actually make the effort to vote on November 4.

[Randy Larsen]

Thank You for your service SARGE!

All we can do is wait to see if the Old Warrior really has the stones!

[DRey]

I got a liberal (”Fulbright Scholar”) professor fired at Texas Tech University.

[GatorGirl]

I am posting like crazy at CafeMom, trying to combat the mindless masses. I have been checking in over here for the latest scoop but we’re preaching to the choir, folks!

Go out and find forums at aol or elsewhere and do battle. Keep in factual—there are plenty of people on the fence. The libs can be quite nasty, but we can handle it! Quit hanging around with those of a like mind set. Get off the conservative blogs for a bit.

Also, volunteer to go door-to-door and make GOTV phone calls with your local GOP headquarters. I can’t do it this weekend, but did last weekend and will next.

[El Sordo]

It's hardly defeatism to demand that McCain put on the big boy pants and fight.

I do not regret supporting him with my money and effort.

But I do regret that he appears to be wasting it.

All the support we have to give won't do a lick of good unless McCain knocks off this Marquis of Queensbury shtick in the last debate.

So yes, I demand to know just what he has done this week to help Republicans win.

As for it never having been like this for 10 years, I'd have to agree. Few of us have had to deal with this kind of challenge, myself included. No matter who wins, the next 4 years are going to be a whole new ballgame.

[AmericanGirlRising]

1. - wrote 5 blog articles (readership near 900 visits in only 3 weeks) http://redgirlrising.blogdns.net/

2. - donated $ to Victory

3. - gave away 4 yard signs and bumper stickers

We can do this! We have to do this, otherwise so-long free markets and freedom. hello socialism.

[gotribe]

1. Stopped into the local GOP HQ to get a M/P sign. They were out.

2. Did say I’d be back to hit the phones, which I will. We CANNOT let Ohio slide to obomber.

[bluecollarman]

"All we can do is wait to see if the Old Warrior really has the stones!"

He better pick it up a notch. Is it true that he has ruled the Rev. Wright off limits? So far he is letting the girl do most of his heavy lifting.

[TaxRelief]

Worked at headquarters for 2 3/4 hours, commented in liberal rag comment sections, called everyone I know to invite them to see Palin in Richmond on Monday.

:D

[KittenClaws]

It’s not funny to me, but I did nothing tangible at all. I have been praying, but I should be able to do more.

I feel so powerless, like fate is at hand. When I feel powerless, I just pray. It’s all I can see to do.

[Antoninus]

And I don’t trust The Sheep - and after my time in Iraq, I never will again.

Sheep are by nature uneducated. If we don't educate them, someone else will lead them off to slaughter with their willing consent.

[Antoninus]

I finally got on my local newspaper's forum and started posting material about Obama. Naturally I immediately got feedback which I have been replying to.

More of us need to do this kind of thing....

[Randy Larsen]

Agreed!

The girl is doing an outstanding job, and maybe the old fart will get a clue!

[Florida native]

Yep my girls, both in college, are voting McCain/Palin - they love Sarah!!

[El Sordo]

FWIW, I have an ongoing project with a number of my friends and associates.

So far I have moved one from Obama at first to third party and finally to McCain. Two more have moved from third party vote to McCain. A few others I am at the least trying to get to move from Obama to third party vote.

The most obstinate one of the bunch I have decided to convince that it's not worth it to vote because it doesn't count. At the least it denies Obama a vote.

Not much, but I do what I can.

Nevertheless, my statement stands.

Ha! It just sunk in that "Obama" is not in the FR spell-check.

[Antoninus]

But I do regret that he appears to be wasting it.

I choose to let the paid political guys run the campaign. They know things we're not privy to.

And if McCain doesn't swing for the fences, what's stopping us from doing so? It's not just for him that we're working to defeat Obama--it's for all of us. In my case, it's for my kids.

I try to keep that foremost in my mind.

[Antoninus]

We can do this! We have to do this, otherwise so-long free markets and freedom. hello socialism.

Good heavens, you're a machine!

[acw011]

“Since when did FR become populated with such losers? I’ve been here for nearly 10 years—it never used to be like this. “

You kidding me? Ok, I’ve only been here 4 years, but for the most part FR is stocked with solid conservatives.

Mcpain needs to sack up, he let that fooking bolshevik lie his azz off left and right on Tuesday and didn’t say Sh*t about it..

For crying out loud meet us half way... Did you see the guy in Waukesha tonight BEG him to fight!! What the hell -

McCain should wipe the floor with this punk - but he’s not doing anything... If we weren’t up against such an absolute communist, McCain would be in big trouble.

I always pass on the conservative message anytime I can and I take offense your comment.. I’ll take McCain and especially Palin in a heart beat, will McCain take me??? Show me something to fight for.

[Dan in Wichita]

I donated $50 to the RNC today. We can win this if we stay positive, keep working, and contribute!
