Free Republic

They didn’t seem to mind when Nancy Pelosi used it after the 2008 election.

I’ve been in that auditorium... It’s really tiny. If she couldn’t come close to filling up that joint—a place full of excitable kids—good luck with the rest of America.

Thanks very much. Look forward to your final installment!

This is two years old; story is dated October 28, 2010.

Hi, PJT,

Would you include me on your ping list, as well, please?

Many thanks!

Thanks very much for this; informative and comforting.

Please also include me on your ping list, if you would.

“Win Illinois? Unlikely. Foolish to waste money trying. It will be a Reaganesque blowout if Illinois is in play.”

Yes, I agree it’s unlikely and probably foolish for us run ads here. But even in Cook County, the RATS are running ads here. Why are they “wasting” THEIR money? Maybe it IS in play?

Unreal... That’s ALL they have to say about the debate? They spent good money on THAT? Keep it up, I say.

50-60 million Americans finally got an “unfiltered” look at Romney and Zero last night, and both were nothing like what the lamestream media portrays. To now reiterate the “Romney is evil” mantra—on the heels of such clear and compelling evidence to the contrary—simply further shreds whatever credibility they had remaining with the electorate.

Just donated $100 directly to Akin’s campaign.

Axelrod: “I told you to oversample by nine”

Pew: “I thought you said nine.. teen.”

Exactly right. The whole stinking incestuous mess of the RAT party, the lamestream media, and their pollsters is simply obvious! I hang up on pollsters; don’t trust ANY of ‘em. They have to resort to from +9 to +19 over-polling of RATS to have a chance?

Look, normal people are angry and disgusted at what the LEFT is doing to our great country, and yet the incestuous, smarmy liberal elites continue to spew their poison.

But, take heart! Throughout the country—despite and because of the poisoning of the country by the Left—a roar of rejection is meeting the RATS. Reflect on the 2010 midterms and how the people spoke. Or, in NJ with Chris Christie; in MA, with Scott Brown (!); in UT, with the ousting of Bennett; in FL, with Rubio crushing the establishment; in OH with Mourdock stomping Lugar; in WI with Walker and the GOP surviving the onslaught and WINNING; and, in TX with Cruz crushing the establishment. I could go fricking on and on, but you get the idea. But still, in the face of ALL this and much more, the LEFT continues their charades.

So, a maelstrom approaches in November. Despite everything we all continue to hear, Americans have decided, are deciding, and will decide, that they profoundly reject what has been shoved down our throats by the RATS since 2008. It’s going to take the RATS a long time to recover from what the American people are about to deliver to them in November.

Peace; out!

Think you are incorrect that Cruz can’t run for Prez. This is copy of a post from AuH20Republican on July 31st:

“For the record, Ted Cruz was born in Canada while his parents were working for the oil industry there, but was a U.S. citizen at birth under federal law. I’m not sure if his father was already a U.S. citizen at such time, but even if he wasn’t, Ted’s mother was a U.S. citizen who had resided in the U.S. for more than 10 years, at least 5 of which were after having turned 14, so Ted met the legal criteria to be a U.S. citizen at birth. The prevailing interpretation of constitutional scholars for a couple of centuries now is that a person who is a U.S. citizen at birth under U.S. law is, ipso facto, a natural-born citizen of the United States.”

What an outstanding post!

Thank you

Look, the RATS are sweating all the close senate races more than us. Turnout will rule the day and it’s on our side.

DO NOT FORGET that in the primaries TWICE as many Republicans voted as did Dems. If the general election turnout comes anywhere close to this, all these RATS are toast.

This is one thing the polls cannot measure; they are based on PAST behavior. But this year is NOTHING like recent years.

So, forget all these projections and just get every dang one you know to the polls this election. If all patriots do that, we’re gonna do better than we have let ourselves dream—triple-digit gains in the House; 12-13 seats in the Senate.

Oops; got something wrong... Article said Schakowsky got 75% in 2008. Didn’t say what she got in prior years.

Thanks for posting this. Interesting, as it pertains to the country and also my district (IL-9).

I noted in the article that the RAT (Jan Schakowsky) in this district has never gotten less that 75% of the vote, and that her internal polling says she’s around 60% right now.

Well, I got an email from the Pollak camp yesterday revealing their internal polling:

“Our new poll data shows that Jan Schakowsky has fallen to 48%, while Republican challenger Joel Pollak is gaining ground at 30%.

“Most telling, only 44% of voters say that Schakowsky deserves to be re-elected, while 42% say that it is time to give a new person a chance. Among those who feel most strongly, only 37% say that Schakowsky deserves to be re-elected, while 38% say it is time to give a new person a chance.”

Difficult to overcome for sure, but if indeed Schakowsky is below 50% then perhaps this year will be the year. If Pollak wins, we’ll know it was a wave of immense proportions that swept the country.

“Just remember this: In the primaries TWICE AS MANY Republicans voted as did Democrats. If the general election turnout differential is anything close to this there is not a race anywhere in the country in which the Republican will not win. The polls simply don’t reflect this factor, but it is HUGE.

“Of course, some individual races will vary but overall I see no reason to believe that it won’t be an even better night than we’re anticipating. If we come anywhere close to a 2-1 turnout advantage even a candidate trailing by 20 points will win easily.”

Outstanding post, noiseman; thank you. I believe you are correct. All these polls assume voter behavior and turnout as in the past. But this year has shown DRAMATICALLY different Republican/Independent behavior and turnout.

Americans have had a “full-on” taste of an over-educated, intellectual “elite” shoving their un-American agenda down our throats, and hate it. Even people who formerly didn’t pay much attention to what American is about are now deeply concerned and afraid.

Be sure your VDRs are running on election night, folks, ‘cause you’re not going to believe the burst of patriotism that the RATS have rousted. Awakened Americans are about to strike back.

“I notice everyone is thrilled about the GOP pick-up in Illinois but doesn’t want the same courtesy for Delaware, when in fact Kirk is more liberal than Castle.”

You must not live here in Illinois. The only reason Kirk is doing so poorly—against a TERRIBLE and corrupt Dem candidate, I might add—is because he (Kirk) also is a terrible candidate. Illinois decided to hold their fricking primary back in February; Kirk got nominated before conservatives could mobilize the natives and get behind a better candidate.

conversely, a true conservative GOP nominee for governor is doing great and will kick the incumbent’s rear end in the general.

Kirk is awful, but he’s the only choice there is, now. It’ll take holding my nose until I can’t think right before I’ll vote for Kirk, but that’s what I’ll probably do. I am anything but “thrilled” about it!

I’m not exactly sure of my schedule today, so if I’m not around please just leave it on my porch. Or, if you feel inspired and want to ensure it goes up, just put it in the yard! {:- )

Thanks!

Hi, RightGuy,

Thx! Was gone all day at the Illinois-OSU game; will be around tomorrow. Do you have a sense for when you might be coming by?

Cheers!
