We’ve already lost Doc. And sure i understand what that sports metaphor means. But what were you applying it to?
And “Good Grief” yourself, Charlie Brown. But i do see a problem with sticking with the GOP.
You have a right to vote how you want. So do i. So let’s just let this one go. It’s not worth our time. You’re not gonna change my mind and i’m not gonna change yours. And frankly i don’t have the time today to get into this with you. Nor am i interested. Anyway, it will only lead to a useless string of exchanges that will accomplish nothing.
We’ve only “already lost” if we give up the fight. Knowingly and intentionally giving our votes to a non-contender is “giving up”.
We are in dark days, indeed. I understand the despair that is going through conservative circles. Some cling to despair like a badge of honor. Some believe hope or optimism are simply naive hallucinations. But, we’ve endured before, and we will endure again.
The Reagan revolution was preceded by the dark days of Carter. A Party that would nominate Sarah Palin as Vice-President cannot be totally lost. A Party that is home to Palin, Mark Sanford and Bobby Jindal gives reason to believe that there are better days ahead.
The dawn will come.

“You have a right to vote how you want. So do i. So let’s just let this one go. It’s not worth our time.”
Actually, it is worth our time. We need some straight talk for 2010.
Simple rule of life: United we stand, divided we fall.
Third parties divide us and dilute our power, giving the power to the liberals. Those liberals will destroy everything we believe in and cherish.
Staying home, divisiveness in the GOP, letting RINOs win primaries, voting third party, attacking/undermining our allies ... they are ALL just different ways we can let our precious vote get wasted. In some years it might have made sense to ‘send a message’ as that wasted vote didnt matter. IT WILL MATTER IN 2010.
I take this stuff personally now since my kids will be paying for the mistakes the voters made in 2008. If we dont correct the mistake we made by giving the Democrats the Whole Enchilada of Federal power in 2008, then my kids will face a bleaker life.
Our last chance to turn America around will be in 2010. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BE STUPID WITH OUR VOTES THEN.
