The frustration and anger by conservatives about the direction of this country continue to grow. Even many moderates are starting to wake up to the failed policies and lack of leadership by the Obama Administration.
In the Georgia primary election last Tuesday, July 20, Republicans cast more ballots than Democrats for governor by a two-to-one margin. The other races on the ballot also showed that significantly more Republicans voted than Democrats, but the highest office on the ticket is a most telling sign about what could happen in November.
“Could happen” is the operative phrase, because Republicans could take back control of Congress if conservatives get out and vote the right way in November. The results in the recent Georgia primary are consistent with an on-going Gallup poll showing that conservatives outnumber liberals two-to-one. Moderates have a one-and-a-half head count advantage over liberals in the same poll.
I am not suggesting that Georgia is indicative of the entire country, but those results along with the Gallup poll provide a huge ray of hope for November.
The numbers are on our (conservatives) side, but we can’t stay home! We are the biggest danger to ourselves and the future of this country if we do not actively support good candidates, and encourage people to get out and vote in November.
I also encourage listeners and audiences to do three things if we are going to slow down the Obama-Reid-Pelosi socialism express in November 2010. Stay united. Stay informed. Stay inspired.
The recent accusation of racism by the NAACP toward the Tea Party movement was an attempt to divide and intimidate these citizen activists. The big government liberals also hoped the racism charge would discourage further criticism of the failed policies of this administration and Congress, as I discussed in my commentary last week. The accusation backfired because they had no credible proof of their claim.
Their baseless claim was highlighted by the baseless firing of a lady named Shirley Sherrod when then the NAACP, the White House and the Department of Agriculture had to backtrack and apologize after all of the facts were known. That incident diminished even further the credibility of the NAACP. This attempt to divide us did not work, but beware of future attempts, which start with name calling and false accusations.
Playing the racism card did not make people forget that the stimulus spending is not working and the economy is stalled. People are more informed than the Democrats think, because they think we are all stupid. Efforts by the White House to ignore Fox News did not work. Efforts to censor talk radio have not worked, because people can distinguish between facts and hate speech as the liberals claim.
Stay informed, because liberals love stupid people and they hate the facts.
And most importantly, stay inspired. Liberals want us to give up. They want us to believe that our votes do not count. They want us to believe that we can’t change control of congress, and that the United States of Europe is inevitable.
At dozens of rallies where I have spoken and proclaimed that “America is not going down that road” the reaction of the people has been enthusiastically the same. Not on our watch! The real change we want is coming in November.
The fight to take back our government is happening now. It is happening at Tea Party rallies, conferences, town hall meetings, in neighborhoods, get out the vote drives, on the Internet and support for conservative candidates all over this country.
This gives me great hope for our vote in November.
***Ping-a-nator!***
Let me know if you want on or off the Herman Cain Ping list!
This coming election cycle is not one in which we can afford to “sit on our hands” because the candidates offered are not pristine. Must vote out the incumbents or things will never change.
In case anyone missed it there was an excellent interview with Herman Cain about the economy: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2558903/posts
I hope the Republicans are devoting a lot of resources to combatting election fraud this November. I predict we will see more fraud this election than all prior elections combined.
Dr. Cain is the man. An awesome ticket would be Herman Cain with Lt. Col. Allen West as VP!
Cain/West! That would blow the race card the libs always play to smithereens!
I agree with you. But remember the only “true” blacks vote liberal. Black Americans that believe in free enterprise and personal rights and small government have gone “white” and are kicked off the liberal plantation. Throw in Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams,J.C. Watt and many other loyal patriotic black Americans that believe in the same things all of us do. I look forward to the day when people are judged by the content of their ideology, not by the color of their skin!
Cain is awesome and one of my top picks’ for 2012, but his thinking is slightly flawed:
It wasn’t 2-to-1, it was 680k (R) to 400k (D)
Plus, Primary turnout often has little correlation to the General Election turn-out numbers.
In fact, based on research I have done for certain GA and NC candidates, it is often the Party with high Primary turnout that can loose the General. GA 2000, 2004, 2006 and 2008 Primaries, for example.
KY almost always (great news for Paul).
The good news, however, is that (to agree with Cain) the Democrats have an average of about 450-600k GA Primary voters and this Primary they only got out about 400k.
The Republicans usually only have about 450-500k in GA Primary and we got out about 680k.
Their averages are down and ours are up. That’s bodes well, but still means that we have a whole lot of work to do.
