In my e-mail today from the DCCC


Ya know, I read that e-mail, and I smell a bit of fear there.  Like 200 proof, unadulterated fear.  Not that any of those *eeeeeevil* things might happen, such as "dismantling social security"....  But that a third party candidate, a very conservative third party candidate, may beat out one of the establishment elite.  They're terrified at the thought that one of the unwashed might actually WIN.

Hey what a shocker -- she's now endorsing Owens.

Wonder if this will motivate the GOP to cull the RINO herd?.....


......probably not....time to flush both parties....
Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

Even assuming you can ans should dump the Republican Party, what makes you think you could do anything at all to the Democrats?  What makes you think the Democrats will do anything except laugh all the way to the bank (or, rather, all the way to Washington)?

I am reminded of Bibi again.

Faced with this sort of media whining, he addressed a hall full of his supporters once, and said: "And do you know why the media, and the leftists, say these things? Because they afraid of us!" At the time, he whipped the Likud up into a frenzy and thousands of people turned up to vote because they saw him on TV and smelled delicious, delicious fear o the other side of the aisle.

This is occurring here, I think.

Any bets on how long tomorrows elections will be tied up in court challenges on allegations of fraud if the Democrats loose?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Only election that will be tied up in the courts MIGHT be New Jersey.

That's the only one fraud may be able to sway. If Corzine loses, the Democrats will sue because their fraud didn't win and claim that the Republicans were committing fraud.

The other elections will be landslides. You can't claim fraud when you lose by 10%+. (That is, at least in the United States.)
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I used to think that way too.
Oh well, we will know tomorrow evening.

I learned a new word today:
"Margin of Fraud"

As in:
"We expect the Republican to win as his poll numbers indicate he is above the margin of fraud."

Simplistic Dream:  I'd like to see a mandate of some type renaming both parties.  Dems to be called the Liberal Party and the R's the Conservative Party.  Each party to declare platform articles that define their direction that have at least 10 planks as to their vision for America and let the floodgates open.
