Rush is Right, So Let's Have a Contest
Why Should People Vote Republican in 2006

You have until 2:30 p.m. today, October 11, 2006.
Contest is closed to new entrants.
Rush Limbaugh, a short while ago, took issue with this piece and expressed exactly what I feel. When is the last time you ever heard Democrats say, "Oh well, we expect to be wiped out"? Answer? You don't. They fight till the bitter end. Of course, they lie too, but still! Why is the GOP already leaking, blaming, and running away? That's weak. We need to go on offense.
And while the Republicans, like rats on a sinking ship, are starting to flee, they've left behind a mess of a message. Hastert is on TV talking Foley, keeping that story alive, while the President is trying to remind people why voting Republican matters this year more than most.
So, here's the contest. You have 24 hours. Leave a comment in this post. The topic: Why you should vote Republican in 2006. It should be 100 words or less. The front page contributors will help me pick the best statement of why people should vote Republican in 2006. And, I'll buy the winner a one year subscription to the Limbaugh Letter.
If the GOP can't sell themselves, we will. So leave your comment. You have 24 hours.

Immediately, I came up with your prizewinner, BEFORE seeing this (not like I CARE about the rushbaugh newsletter) and Leon jumped in with "You can't participate!" OH YES I CAN. I just can't win. Until this comment. Thanks. [edited for little pitchers]

I vote republican because I want a leader in power who is so blind that he thinks gay marriage should be illegal. That gays should be discriminated against and ostracized. A leader who learned nothing from segregation and the civil rights movement.
I vote republican because I want close minded religious fanatics trying to push their beliefs through laws. Trying to abolish freedom from government, the very idea this country was founded on.
I vote republican because they lie and thousands of innocent americans and others die because of it.
I vote republican because I am uneducated and extremely out of touch with the rest of the world. I don't care what my leader does as long as it benefits myself. Even if it hurts or kills innocent others.
I vote republican because I am a moron.
I think one of our puppies just pooped in your chat room. Will you please clean it up for me?

As insulting as you were, I will respond before you are blammed.
Homosexuality has nothing to do with race. It's much more like religion. That's how you should be arguing it. Trying to appeal to the civil rights movement cheapens that movement and does not advance your cause.
This one really cracks me up:
I vote republican because I want close minded religious fanatics trying to push their beliefs through laws. Trying to abolish freedom from government, the very idea this country was founded on.
It's "closed-minded". And this "trying to abolish freedom from government" stuff -- what on Earth is that? At any rate, everybody involved in politics -- everybody, including you -- is trying to get their beliefs enacted into law.
As far as "Republicans lie and people die" goes, it just isn't so. President Bush DID NOT LIE. He was NOT EVEN MISTAKEN. He guessed, he extended American force against people trying to destroy civilization, and HE WAS RIGHT.
As far as Republicans being uneducated -- I thought we were all elitist snobs out to crush the poor downtrodden masses beneath the unyielding heel of our imperialist boot?

[Ed. Note: Leon - reading comprehension is a plus, if you're going to come blazing in with a name like repubtard. To pull that off, you have to be really sharp, and not spring right out of the box calling "homophobe" left and right. That gets you blammed.
P.S. It's obvious we've been linked by one of the leading lights of the left. What I can't figure out is why half the slobbering denizens that we've inherited are engaging in gay-baiting, and the other half is accusing us of being homophobes. If someone has an explanation, I'd love to hear it.0
Homosexuality has nothing to do with race. It's much more like religion. That's how you should be arguing it. Trying to appeal to the civil rights movement cheapens that movement and does not advance your cause.
That statement alone shows the arrogance of the Republican mind. Because it's not a race, they can be punished in any way. It's terrifyingly ignorant. You think just like those did who thought it was ok to tell blacks they couldn't go to school or share any average freedom others had. For what reason? None. The same reason that you say gays shouldn't marry.
Arrogance.
Also saying that Bush guessed is just pathetic. Saying you have firm intelligence of something is not a guess. Openly misleading your citizens is not guessing.
Even though it was an obvious attempt to wag the dog, I never faulted clinton for firing cruise missiles at what turned out to be an aspirin factory. Yes the timing was more a political act than application of statecraft but it was still an act meant to improve the world.
And democrats never openly mislead their constituents ?
Oh well I have to go fornicate with a cousin and a pig and perhaps some city folk that got lost
He said what he THOUGHT was right at the time. The same thing MOST of the smart people in the world THOUGHT at the time. If you say what you believe, it isn't a lie. It is only a lie if you KNOW it isn't true WHEN YOU SAY IT. Also, please do not say "He should have known." Maybe so, but he did not. Or this one: "He was briefed." He is given breifings, sometimes conflicting breifings, ALL THE TIME. No one can reconcile all of that info that quickly.
"Life is too short, can't we all just eat pork and kill some terrorists?"
That's what I meant when I said "guessed". President Bush is a "feeler" in the Meyers-Briggs personality sense. He doesn't always have a logical explanation for position, but rather digests all of the information coming to him and makes a call.
And that's what a President has to do. He can't memorize all the minutae thrown at him and reduce it all to logical forms. He has to listen, read, think, and then just decide.

Because it's not a race, they can be punished in any way.
Did I say that?
There are many public examples of people giving up homosexuality; of people taking it up after years of heterosexuality; and of people who have abstained from sex rather than pursue what they considered an immoral activity.
There are no such examples of people giving up their skin color, adopting a new skin color, or abstaining from having a skin color they consider immoral.

The reason racists oppressed blacks is because they thought they were genetically inferior. It is you LIBERALS who claim that gays are genetically different. (IE: they are BORN that way) We conservatives say that it is a life choice and they are genetically no different than you or I. Its funny, but nobody gets more offended at comparing the gay rights movement to the civil rights movement than ordinary (non-politician) black folks. Are you gonna tell them that's the "arrogance of the black mind"? No, because you pansy liberals are so afraid to offend anyone, except of course, for heterosexual Christian white males. We all know its ok to bash them.
the irony here [I can, now: I hadn't really realized quite how many Leftists out there were desperate to find a place where they can safely let out their negative feelings about gay people. Which, seeing as you're defending the Kimball piece, apparently includes you.]

I am not sure I agree with this. What exactly do you mean? Can you give me an example?

As for Republicans being uneducated -- the data I've seen shows the more educated one is the more likely they are to vote Republican up to the point of Phd. The Phd crowd breaks back towards the Democrats, but that is probably the those living on the federal government more likely to vote Democrat variable taking more weight.
The Democrats have always had the high school drop out vote. Nothing has changed there.
EVEN...EVEN if it's a choice and a religion, do we as Americans not have the right to practice our religion freely? Do we not have the right of equal protection under the law? Do we not have the freedom of association?
I just haven't figured out why homosexuality is such a big deal? I can assure you that gay people want nothing to do with most of you, so why do you care so much?

Even those who learn from history are surrounded by those doomed to repeat it.
Don't do it.
Don't satisfy the hopes and dreams of the anti-American left and the ultra biased media and hand the Democrats a victory they do not deserve.
The great state of Indiana with three contested House seats might hold the keys to the majority.
What bothers me is when Dems run as pro-life and pro-gun, they cannot be trusted. They will go to Washington and be in the clutches of their pro-abortion and anti-gun party. They are hypocrites and liars.
Don't take the bait.
I did not spend a year of my life working to stabilize Iraq for democracy, only to see us cut and run, turning it into a three-way mass genocide.

The longer we dwell on our misfortunes the greater is their power to harm us - Voltaire
Issues that tell you why Republicans will vote in droves ...
Supreme Court
Tax and Spend
Cut and Run
Appease Terrorists
Border Fence
Amnesty for Illegals
Kill off Walmart
Universal Hillary Care
That enough for you?
Why shouldn't the Republicans win, they lost the last three exit polls, it's their turn.
Supreme Court - Yes, let's ensure that we stock it full of people who will legislate from the bench as long as they agree with us!
Tax & Spend - As opposed to not tax the rich and spend even more? What is our current deficit again? How much has it GROWN in the last 6 years? Reducing a yearly deficit still means you're spending more than you bring in.
Cut & Run - Die In Place? You define victory in measurable standards and then we can talk about the PLAN to get us there.
Appease Terrorists - No. Who says that? If you mean work with the Muslim world - THE LARGEST RELIGION IN THE WORLD - to counter the growing global insurgency based on the Muslim Religion, then yes.
Border Fence - Don't forget the moat with laser armed crocs! Yeah, the Great Wall worked real well for the Chinese.
Amnesty for Illegals - Guest Work Program - That's Bush's idea. Oops!
Kill of Wal-Mart - Huh? I believe that Wal-Mart is a local issue.
Universal Care - Hmmm...sounds pretty good to me. I hate to break it to you, but the ever increasing number of people without healthcare is a burden that is soaked up by tax dollars in the end anyway - perhaps having a proactive system would be more cost effective.
Do any of you actually read past the headlines and talking points?
the ever increasing number of people without healthcare is a burden that is soaked up by tax dollars in the end anyway
and why is that? soaked up by our tax dollars, that is.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them. -Ronald Reagan
if you want those who would kill americans and innocent civilians here and abroad fought with the full strength and fury america can muster,
if you want our troops abroad to be supported by a congress that actually believes in their missions,
if you want to see continued economic growth, a further reduced deficit, current low taxes and reduced regulation -
vote republican.
if you want investigations, threats of impeachment, a policy of appeasement and amnesty, a rollback of the policies that cut the deficit, created jobs, built a thriving economy and kept america safe from attack -
vote democrat.
Yes, I want those that killed Americans to be brought to justice, either by court or bullet...but where is OBL? How many innocent Americans were killed by Iraqis? We know how many Iraqis have died...650,000! That's more than Saddam killed. Hey, winning hearts and minds all the way!
Yes, let's believe in a mission that is flawed. Always a good thing. It's not WHETHER we fight, but HOW. And the HOW had been pretty depressing on the strategic front. Sure, operationally and tactically we are great, but the constraints of the strategic mission as developed by W and his men have made that irrelevant.
Define economic growth. Shrinking middle class, lower real wages, outsourced manufacturing work, higher poverty roles, and high stock values that do not translate to actual wealth for the majority?
Lower taxes for who? I suggest you check out the ENTIRE tax burden for the middle class and below and be sure to add state taxes and fees, consumption taxes and the like. Once you do that, I think the lie of lower taxes will be evident. Let's also not forget the utility of money. You, the typical 50k a year millionaire Republican, is hurt more by taxes than a true millionaire even if he pays 4 times what you pay.
Reduced regulation. Yeah, that's worked so well. Ask a few mine workers about that. It certainly has kept our car manufacturers and airlines in the black!
Personally, I hope the GOP retains control so when this house of cards built upon empty language and emotional rhetoric comes tumbling down, there will be no one to blame but those in charge.
looking back let me replace "kill" with "murder"
I will vote Republican because I want to see my country stay strong, safe, and successful.
I want us to continue the lethal pressure we apply to terrorists, and to restrain the government pressure that continually menaces our economy.
I look forward to continuing success in remaking the judiciary into one that is humble enough to let the people speak through our chosen representatives and enduring Constitution.
I cannot allow the Congress to be given to those who would belittle our culture, close our military, and follow the weak, failing model of western Europe.
I cannot settle for less. Ever.

If you're seeing shades of gray, it's because you're not looking close enough to see the black and white dots.
National Security! Can we trust a party that has been taken over by the extreme left wing? No. Can we trust a party that gave North Korea nuclear technology during the 1990's? No. Can we trust a party that see's terrorism as law enforcement issue. No. Can we trust a pary that will anything to prevent the pre-emptive assault on terrorism? No. Can we trust the Democrats? No.
Guess who sold North Korea $200 million worth of nuclear reactors? Donald Rumsfeld, of course!
Rumsfeld was a director at a Zurich engineering firm called ABB for 11 years, making $190K per year. ABB sold “light water nuclear reactors” to Lil’ Kim. Rumsfeld quit in 2001 to kill people, while North Korea joined the popular “Axis of Evil” club.
You already know about Rumsfeld begging Saddam to use chemical weapons in the 1980s and invading Iraq in ‘03 because Saddam used chemical weapons, and the whole Bird Flu Medicine scam. But actually selling nuclear reactors to North Korea? Brilliant!

The Fuzzy Puppy of the VRWC.
doesn't usually precede an insightful statement. Obviously the case here.
The fact that you don't know what function a "director" of a corporation has in the sales process indicates you'll be much more at home posting with other high school kiddies. When Rumsfeld left the private sector to move to DoD he was pretty much retired and served on a lot of boards.
Considering the sale of said light water reactors was part of the Agreed Framework and licensed by the NRC I really find it hard to get upset over this.
Because I want a government devoted to victory in war, low taxes and strong economics, liberty at home and strength in peace.
- appoint responsible judges
- keep the tax cuts
- defend the nation's security against terror without hesitation or reservation
- do a better job in restraining the growth of government and government regulations
- oppose appeasement of Iran and North Korea
- oppose any sellout of Iraq
- support President Bush in matters of defense and national security, not undermine him through hearings and subpoenas
- offer drug-free solutions to Iraq (i.e. no hallucination that "we need more troops but let's pull out the ones we have"
As we approach the elections, there are reasons to vote to keep the GOP congress.
o Re-elect the GOP to control the House of Representatives and you will be voting to control the border and to make sure that our troops have the funds that they need to fight the War on Terror and the War in Iraq.
o Re-elect the GOP to control the Senate and you will be voting for judges who will interpret the law instead of creating their own version of the law.
Sitting out the election is a half-vote for the Democrats.
America needs you to stay strong as a country.
Because America matters.
Because this group of Dems hold nothing dear.
Because our history matters.
Because Dems will look to the UN to defend our nation.
Because of the men and women who are laid to rest in Arlington.
Because Dems say "to hell" with free speech and religion.
Because I don't want my children to have to fight this war. Because Dems won't fight this war.
Because I want to keep what I work for.
Because Dems will take what I work for.
Because we are still the shinning city on a hill.
Because the Dems don't believe it.
Taxes. SCOTUS. North Korea. Iran.

I am voting Republican this election cycle because I am an American. Radical liberals and the anti-American left have always lingered in the shadows of the Democratic Party, but they have never been so visible or so prominent. Republican defeat will vindicate the methods and validate the leadership of the radical liberals and the anti-American left. We must not let them establish themselves as a major governing party in this country. It truly saddens me that so many people view their own country with so much contempt. It is not about politics. I fear that it is about suicide.

1. We need to maintain a level head and steady pressure in the War against Radical Islam.
2. We need to maintain a tax environment that will grow our economy faster than we can implement new spending.
3. We need to be able to get confirmed Supreme and District Court judges that will not legislate from the bench.
4. We need to allow President enough breathing room, free of nuisance subpoenas and hearings, to meet the unknown challenges that will arise these next two years.
This November, there is only one party that can give America these things, and that party is the GOP.
Republican politicians understand liberty; they understand freedom, limited government and low taxes which enable their constituents to be left to grow and improve their quality of life to the degree they use these things to do so.
Some Republican politicians have lost their way of late, but sending them out of Washington will only guarantee that those of us who share these ideals will be sent out of Washington alongside them. Keeping them in Washington, and in the majority, is the only chance we have of helping them find their way again, and helping ensure our freedoms and liberties remain intact.
We MUST vote on November 7, and we MUST vote Republican.

It isn't because Republicans have done such a good job at reducing wasteful spending or kicking the corruption out of Washington.

The Dow Jones is at an all-time high. Unemployment is incredibly low. Interest rates are near 30-year lows.
If the Dems take over, tax cuts will be rolled back and Americans will have less spending power. This is a recipe for recession.

Check out 'meRepublican'.
Reuters. July 4, 2010.
In a sweeping decision, the Supreme Court today struck down laws in 49 states limiting marriage to a man and a woman. The 5-4 decision, authored by the moderate-conservative, Justice Anthony Kennedy, held that both the "evolving consensus" among progressive democracies and the constitutional right to define one's own meaning of the universe compelled the result. Kennedy was joined by the four moderate justices--Souter, Breyer, and the newly-appointed Justices Kathleen Sullivan and Andrea Dworkin, who were appointed last summer by President Rodham. The judges had filled the two seats that had been vacant for over two years, as Senate Democrats had successfully blocked the appointment of the nominees of former-President Bush. Justice Scalia, who also announced his retirement, filed an angry, disgruntled dissent, which was joined by the other three extreme conservatives on the Court.
Andrea Dworkin has been dead for more than a year. In fact, she was quite popular with several people close to the current President.

Rick,
D--n, man, after spending the time to compose my witty, brilliant post--sure to garner me first prize--you have to go mess things up by pointing out that I don't know what I'm talking about. Thanks.
(I actually remembered that she had died after posting, but alas...)
A couple of other things wrong with my piece--Pres. Hillary is unlikely to divorce her husband or reclaim her father's last name until well into her second term, if at all. Plus, I don't think she would be foolish enough to nominate Sullivan, let alone a dead feminist. Just replace their names with "Name your lawyer/judge/professor who is so compassionate, so caring, so open-minded, so tolerant, and oh-so-moderate that she (or he, if absolutely necessary) can say with a straight face that the Constitution mandates open season on unborn children, including the unrestricted decapitation of these kids in the second and third trimester."
My stupidity aside, I think it is fair to say that a Democratic Senate majority after this election (unlikely to be undone in '08, and maybe not until '12) will significantly increase the chances that we will see Supreme Court decisions redefining marriage and further embedding unrestricted abortion into our Consitution.
Better vote now while you have the chance, social conservatives, for with each such "decision," we will be further disenfranchised.
The reasons I and my family will vote Republican are
abortion
the Supreme Court
The War on Terror
I would never stay home and I would never vote for a Democrat
I believe we have turned the tide on 40 years of liberalism and I for one am not willing to go back to the 60's, 70's, 80's or 90', ever again. I want a more safe and just world for my children and I have always believed that the 60's and those liberals have been destroying our Country ever since. I implore all Republican's, Conservatives, Religious Right to get out and vote so we continue the march back to a decent America with morals and respect.
Peace through superior fire power:)
Why is George Soros posting a comment? Don't you have a terrorist dictator you should be cuddling up to? The democrats slogan for Hillary 2008 should be "Vote Hillary and get all the free radiation treatments you need." Just come to New York after she has "talked" with our enemies.
Liberal thinking, if followed, will eventually be the demise of America.

If you are representative of the democrats by god you could get most sane people to vote republican.
Anyway to answer youre question. The following would help me vote Democratic.
Well Democrats that haven't decided to impeach a sitting president during time of war as payback would be a good start.
Seeing as the deficit is down to 250 billion and the economy is still going strong it might help if the dems hadn't decided to tax us into recession or worse.
While Mark Foley is abhorent he at least resigned. It might be a nice gesture if the dems decided to kick out william jefferson from the party instead of joe lieberman.
It might also help if the democrats were to admit that people that make explosive belts meant to be detonated in crowded places have lost the right to a measure of civilized treatment.
It wouldn't hurt if the Dems weren't more worried about tapping into terrorist phone calls and monitoring their financial transactions than they were about winning the war.
Last but certainly not least it would do a world of good if these people could at a minimum appear to convey a measure of sincerity and integrity instead of blatantly saying whatever they think the people want to hear and having complete condescension toward those they are talking to.
But then again I am probably just too stupid to vote Democrat.
Last I checked, William Jefferson didn't care if he made any kids horny, smart guy.
And it is indeed commendable that Foley resigned immediately before the story exploded in the media-- that demonstrates "sincerity and integrity instead of blatantly saying whatever they think the people want to hear."
I'm sure that it is just as commendable that he stood in from of Mark Klaas and vowed to protect the children. That in no way shows any "condescension toward those he was talking to."
And why should dems say what people want them to hear? you're right! say nothing at all and let perverts like Foley stay in office! Vote Republican!
I love free speech. Just keep talking, liberals, keep talking......you're our best hope to keep the Congressional majorities......Go on, tell us about the Constitutional rights of al Qaeda terrorists......
My support stems from SC justices, foreign policy, taxes, and pro-life issues. I can only hope a significant caucus will eventually form to cut spending, abolish the IRS, end forced servitude to those who turn 65, and promote liberty induced answers to contemporary problems. The Democrats aren't even on the radar screen here.
Many RINO's have given us a bad taste but after 60 years of writing laws in the failed, statist New Deal mold don't give those Democrat clowns power ever again. They will continue to blame America and sell us down the river at every turn.

...according to CBS News: "Republicans award chairmanships based on the evaluation of a leadership committee that takes into account leadership fealty, fundraising prowess and other factors. Democrats would award would-be chairmanships strictly by seniority."
Chairman John Dingell, Energy & Commerce
Chairman Charlie Rangel, Ways & Means
Chairman David Obey, Appropriations
Chairman George Miller, Education & Workforce
Chairman John Conyers, Judiciary
Chairman Alcee Hastings, Intelligence (!)
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (1.5 heartbeats away from the Presidency)
Republicans are the party of:
Life - the party that respects the right to life for all.
Liberty - the party that believes in individual liberty, in the liberty of thought and opinion, in the liberty of religion and understands that such liberties, given to us by God, are not free, and will always need to be defended against tyranny.
Pursuit of Happiness - the party that respects the individual's right to use their God given talents to pursue their happiness, their goals, their dreams and understands too that reaching happiness in one's life is something that no government can guarantee to anyone.

Remember in 1992 many people voted for Ross Perot, others stayed home. Why, we didn't like Bush 41, what did we get eight years of Bill Clinton. Eight years in which Clinton gutted the defense department and our intelligence ability. Osama Bin Laden went from a nobody in 1992 to a world wide threat in 2000. Eight years of allowing China to advance 20 years in weapons, eights years of allowing North Korea to develop nukes, eights years of a blind eye to leftwing turn of South America and the rise of rulers like Chavez, eight years of doing nothing on missile defense. Did I mention, higher taxes, more regulation, "fairness doctrine", defense cuts, no enforcement of the borders and endless investigations. ELECTIONS MATTER!! be a man suck it and go to work.

As a 76 year old grandmother and great grandmother, I have lived long enough to know that the Republicans are the only hope for our grandchidren to escape the slavery that will be loaded onto their shoulders by the democrats who will tax them into oblivion, appease our enemies until we are taken over by the jihadists, close our churches unless they spout liberal dogma, fill our universities with even more anti-American, hate filled demagogs, stack the courts with more left leaning judges who make law from the bench, and generally dismantle the American way of life. These things are so much more important than a congressman's emails. Emails never enslaved anyone.
Yes to a Strong America.
Yes to World Freedom.
Yes to Individual Liberty.
Yes to American Values.
Yes to Lower Taxes.
Yes to Personal Empowerment.
Yes to Home Ownership.
Yes to Real Equal Opportunity.
Yes to Accountability in our Schools.
Yes to Energy Independence.
Yes to a Secure Future for your Children.
Or, you can Vote No by voting for the Democrat of your Choice.

This election is about defining Justice. Republicans know that to achieve "liberty and justice for all" means dispensing justice without regard to an American's standing. It also requires defending our shores. Democrats think achieving justice means dividing us into hostile classes, races, and special interests so they can grab the power to enforce universal mediocrity.
But "equality" does not mean using taxes and judges to make everyone the same. If you believe with me that the founding fathers intended us to be equal before the law and to excel as individuals, then vote Republican with me this November.

The stupid Republicans "let" N Korea and Iraq get nuclear weapons, but at least we stopped Saddam from getting them, but that was "starting a war under false pretenses".
Do you even have an idea how stupid you sound?
Oh! and "destroyed the middle class"? Just how exactly is a booming economy, low unemployment, and holding the line against tax increases destroying the middle class?
Do they teach you logic in University now in days?

If the Democrats win, my taxes go up, illegal aliens will garner more privileges, my safety will be in question as our national defense is weakened, and more lunatic leftist judges will be installed to support continued attacks on marriage, Christianity, free speech, property rights, and the military's ability to protect this country.

I like to keep it simple; it’s a simple choice:
- Between Strength and uncertainty.
- Between Results and rhetoric.
- Between Optimism and pessimism.
- Between Opportunity and dependence.
- Between Freedom and fear.
And a choice between moving forward and turning back.
As Republicans:
- We choose Strength.
- We choose Results.
- We choose Optimism.
- We choose Opportunity.
- We choose Freedom.
Don’t forget appointing responsible judges to the Supreme Court and making the tax cuts permanent. The alternative would be disastrous IMO with Pelosi’s list of foolishness the Democrats saying its Time for Impeachment and NO MEANS FOR WAR IF RANGEL WRITES BUDGET along with the 71 members of the “Out of Iraq” Caucus this alone should be enough reason to vote republican in November 2006 and beyond!

If you're seeing shades of gray, it's because you're not looking close enough to see the black and white dots.
Because you can't win a war you don't believe needs to be fought.
Because politics is about choosing the best team for the country among the available alternatives. The Republican Congress has been disappointing in many ways, but for all its faults, it's much better than the alternative on today's critical problems: ensuring national security, fighting Islamofascism, ending social policy by judicial decree, and maintaining prosperity at home.
...when everything is at stake. We must, therefore, keep the grownups in charge.
If you think national security is about body armor, inspecting containers, bringing terrorists to justice, appeasement (under the guise of being more sensitive to our enemies' culture), and pulling back beyond the horizon until we get hit again, vote for the Democrats.
If you believe instead that we are facing an imminent and grave threat that must be handled aggressively, and with the greatest urgency (despite any previous missteps we may have made in Iraq or elsewhere) vote Republican.
This is all about the mindset of the parties. The Dhimmocrats are simply not serious about the Jihadist threat.
All other issues are secondary.

"It is a sordid business, this divvying us up by race." - Chief Justice John Roberts
I started my politically active life as a Democrat extremely early on. By the time I was about 17, I came to an epiphany; the Democrats were no longer a party that wanted me. I could not stand fellow partisans denigrating people of faith. I couldn't understand their willingness to define "choice" only in terms of one ghastly medical procedure alone. I didn't get denigrating the private engines of our economy while shilling for murderers. And a party that sticks its head in the sand when enemies conspire against us is worthless. That's why I am a Republican.
"I could explain, but that would be very long, very convoluted, and make you look very stupid. Nobody wants that... except maybe me."
Voting Democrat is no different than giving your kids sweets for throwing tantrums. If the democrats want back in power let them show they have some legitimate uses for it first.
Pressure from far left groups to get the troops out of Iraq ASAP will rob America of any credibility on future long term foreign policy initiatives.
Ever since Foley-gate broke, I have found myself back in the blogosphere looking for ways to make sure the Democrats don't take over Congress and we have to start saying "Speaker Pelosi". Within an hour after this contest started, my friend told me that a buddy of ours, a former co-worker of a few summers, was killed Friday in combat in Iraq. He was killed while on patrol in Bayji, the day after he turned 22.
For awhile, I honestly forgot what Nick looked like, and I felt awful. Then I saw the article in a local newspaper and saw his picture and the memories came back, and I remember a few summers back while at work and how excited he was to get into the Army. And I remember telling him that I admired what he was doing and that I wish I could find the courage to do it myself. Today I realized that he gave his life for my country. I will vote Republican because I refuse to have let his life end in vain. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, as well as with the rest of those who are so bravely defending our lives.
Stay the course,
RIP Cpl.
Thanks for posting it, gamecock. It's a sobering reality, and one that many people share, myself included.
You hate to have it hit home for anybody -- but it always does.
If the Democrats win we are one step closer to becoming West France.
Liberal thinking, if followed, will eventually be the demise of America.
whether it's international affairs, or the ordinary citizen's ability to make ends meet, the world is becoming ever more dangerous, and we're running out of time to take the bold actions necessary to prevent those dangers from overcoming the american way of life.
international terrorism is persistent, and terrorists are gaining ever more sophisticated weaponry, technology, spreading their ideologies of hate, and ratcheting up their violent intentions and actions.
north korea has a nuclear capability and is willing to use it destructively against other nations.
the congress is still on a spending rampage that's unsustainable. tax burdens are still too high.
on all these things, time is running out to fix the problems we must fix before they overcome us. on all these things, democrats represent no hope whatsoever. on all these things, republicans represent the only hope available.
to quote a previous president. Only this time the economy is booming. What you didn't know that? The news all makes it sound terrible? Well how about some facts:
Unemployment is near record lows.
Employment (not the same thing) is at record highs.
The stock market is breaking new ground.
Average hourly wages are up.
Inflation is low.
Interest rates are low.
Housing is not in a "bubble" as you may have heard, and prices have come down a little recently.
Oil prices are dropping like a rock.
Gas prices are following the oil prices.
Taxes are lower than they were 6 years ago.
We don't usually hear the GOOD things the Republicans have brought to the country. We only hear the doom and gloom spouted by the Democrats.
I will vote Republican because:
Republicans believe that America is inherently a land of hope and opportunity for all who are willing to work to achieve it.
Republicans believe that citizens make America great, not government programs.
Republicans believe in the American Culture, not multi-culture.
Republicans believe that America is worth the supreme sacrifice paid to defend it from our enemies.
Republicans believe in a hand up, not a hand out.
Republicans believe that a smaller government leaves room for greater individual accomplishments.
Republicans believe high taxes stifle the vital entrepreneurship that supports our way of life.
Republicans believe that Honor still has a place in every citizen’s heart.
Republicans are not perfect people, but they understand that there is difference between right and wrong.
I will vote the party that believes:
-America is inherently a land of hope and opportunity for all who are willing to work to achieve it.
-That citizens make America great, not government programs.
-In the American Culture, not multi-culture.
-That America is worth the supreme sacrifice paid to defend it from our enemies.
-In a hand up, not a hand out.
-That a smaller government leaves room for greater individual accomplishments.
-High taxes stifle the vital entrepreneurship that supports our way of life.
-That Honor still has a place in every citizen’s heart.
-That there is a real difference between right and wrong.
Which party stands for these principles? They will get my vote.
My Republicans are not Rino's, they are solid conservatives.
I MIGHT even vote for them if they were a little flakey,
BUT, be on notice Republican Party, if you pull this election out of the fire, there is a limit to how often you can go to the "fear the Democrat" card.
You people (the elected officials) have got to start putting some distance between yourselves and the Democrats, stop acting like you have a right to rule over us, slow down the pork, pay attention to the immigration situation. Stand up to the Reid's and Pelosi's and don't try to be liked by the Washington "IN" crowd or the media.

A 10 year-old son and a three-year old son. I want them to live in a strong free country. And the country will not be strong and free if we give up the fight before the job is finished. A show of weakness now means more deadly attacks here in the future.
I'll act like a Democrat who has gone to eternal rest and vote twice!
SOS: STOP OCTOBER SURPRISES (SOS)
In addition to the prudential reasons for voting Republican (judges, taxes, terror & national security, immigration reform, the Axis of Evil), there is an ethical one, too.
The left activists are increasingly pushing the Democrats towards sleazy surprise attacks, often in October, that combine falsehoods and half-truths to emotionally blackmail the voter.
During the W years we have seen an avalanche of such sleaze: The Bush Drunken Driving Story, The Bush Is Behind the Texas Dragging Deaths Story, The Bush Lied About 9/11 Story (which began on 9/12), The Rally Against Evil Republicans at the Wellstone Funeral Story, The Bush Left Saddam's Stockpiles Unguarded Story, The Bush National Guard Records Story, The Rove Behind Plame Leak Story, The Bush Ignored Katrina Through Racism Story, The Bush The Torturer Story, The Hastert Supports Creepy Congressman Pedophile Story, and.... who knows what else is coming down the pike.
Enough already!
Box up the liberal trash and put it out on the curb!
Vote Republican one more time and maybe, just maybe, the Dems will get serious on issues.
History has shown that when freedom is at stake, whether at home or abroad, Democrats have been on the wrong side of history. When courage was required, they gave us appeasement. America elected Jimmy Carter, and he left us Iran. Bill Clinton left us Korea and 9/11.
The only principle Democrats hold dear is preserving their power. They are relevant only because they are dangerous, and they have written far too many checks that my children and I are going to have to cash.
Vote Republican. This election is a time to be very serious, and we need to elect serious people.
I think one reason to go and vote GOP is the SCOTUS-do we want more John Roberts types or more Ginsberg types on the court? If it is the later, stay home, but if it is the former, you better vote, or you may end up with the later.
Contrary to popular belief, the Democrats do have an agenda for 2006:
- Raise taxes
- Emasculate the military and intelligence agencies
- Restore Saddam Hussein to power
- Implement universal government health care
- Prevent any appointments to the federal courts the next 2 years
- Conduct a "Constitutional" coup
Beyond that, a Democrat victory in 2006 will make their agenda for 2008, turn the US into France without the nuclear power plants, closer to reality.
because heckuva job, Brownie!
because no one could have anticipated they'd fly airplanes into buildings!
because Hailburton needs more money!
because it will keep Cheney off the streets, where he might accidentally shoot someone!
because it's important to leave pedoiphiles in position of power!
because Bush can add another trillion to the deficit!
because Rummy hasn't finished his job of destroying the military!
because it's important to be a coward and LIVE IN CONSTANT FEAR!
because I want to someone else's kids die for me!
because I want to subsidize the wealthy!
because Karl Rove is gay!
"I can't stop you from despising gay people, but you can darn well find another venue with which to express your homophobia."
Then again, people like yourself do serve to remind us (all too often) which side of the political spectrum it is that is so full of vicious, visceral hate that they can't even stand it.
Thanks for the reminder. Now go remind someone else.

Sometimes one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.
In 2000 I was pregnant, watching the news like a hawk. I stayed up all through election night, praying "please God, let my baby be born in a Republican administration". I desperately NEEDED to see George W. Bush elected. I found out less than a year later why it was so important.
Conservatives claim that a "cut-and-run" strategy in Iraq will motivate our enemies, convince them of our weakness and increase our risk of attack.
The SAME IS TRUE if we allow democrats back into leadership positions.
When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail. -- Abraham Maslow
You should vote Republican because an awful lot depends on it and the Democrats are NO option!
1. We need to maintain a level head and steady pressure in the The War Against Terror (T.W.A.T.).
[OK, kid. You got to say a bad word on a weblog. Now shoo: grownups talking. - Moe Lane]
It's unfortunate that the uber-liberal media keeps reporting on the National Intelligence Estimate which says pretty clearly that US foreign policy has emboldened Islamic extremists across the globe. Bush was right to label the NIE as "terrorist propaganda" a few weeks ago. Also, Bob Woodward is a traitor. I know the White House heartily endorsed his first two books. I know the White House heartily endorsed his first two books. That was before he was brainwashed by the liberals.
Anyone who suggests a different course of action really wants to see the United States conquered by the Islamic fundamentalists.
2. We need to maintain a tax environment that will grow our economy faster than we can implement new spending. Any day now our supply-side economic policies will start to pay off. Sure, everyone can see that the deficit is out of control, the debt has gone up by a couple trillion dollars, and the wealth gap is increasing faster and faster as the American middle class continues to shrink. Less regulation and more tax cuts for corporations could turn it all around.
3. We need to be able to get confirmed Supreme and District Court judges that will not legislate from the bench. Way too many "activist judges" seem to think it's their job to "interpret the constitution". We've managed to practically eliminate legislative oversight of the executive, so now the judicial oversight of the legislature is holding us back in a big way. I mean, seriously, why is it still legal to burn the American flag? Freedom of expression should have limits. When the flag is burned, people's feelings are hurt. America can't stand for that.
Also, our God is a powerful God, but also a bit insecure. If the liberal judges manage to keep references of God out of government by inventing a so-called "separation of church and state" that could really hurt God's feelings. God is only powerful if we print his name on every government-issued document, force schoolchildren to recite loyalty oaths to Him, and post his commandments in our courtrooms. Sure, the libtards will try to remind us that seven or eight of the commandments are not compatible with the United States Constitution, but we're working on that.
Don't forget, we need to worry about gay marriage. If gay people get married, I don't see how I could stay married to my wife. My marriage would be completely destroyed. The liberals keep asking how giving equal rights to gays could possibly affect the rest of us. They're so naive.
4. We need to allow President enough breathing room, free of nuisance subpoenas and hearings, to meet the unknown challenges that will arise these next two years. I can't stress this enough. Of course, someone is bound to point out that the Republicans spent several years and millions upon millions of public dollars investigating Clinton for his inconsequential personal affairs. There was much less at stake, then. However, it's still Clinton's fault we were attacked on 9/11. I also blame Clinton for the Iran and North Korea situations. Also, Clinton should have known that the invasion of Iraq wouldn't be cheap or easy. Also, Clinton failed to prevent the death of Steve Irwin.
Vote Republican!

Obviously, you are a brainwashed tool of higher education....Don't you know that books are SATAN's way of tempting us from the path of temptation, cookies, and Sean Hannity?
You must Vote Republican, because not to do so would require you to use your brain, and GOD surely never intended for his children to use the faculties he endowed in them.
So, in summation, say hello to Hillary and Teddy in hell, because anyone who doesn't agree with the Right Way 100% is a liberal Demon!

Now you are reduced to pathetically telling yourselves that “At least we are better than the Democrats”.
And the democrats have a MUCH better message...
"We'd do better! Honest! Um, no, we won't tell you how, or why. But we're much better at being in power than Republicans! Quit asking us to give details! Just vote us back in power!"

My top ten list of why I will vote republican.
10. I want a future for myself, for my children and for my grandchildren.
9. I don't want my two beautiful daughters to have to wear burkas.
8. I care about my country and moral values.
7. I value my ability to listen to conservative radio.
6. I like to have a little money left after taxes.
5. I like that I can own a gun.
4. Because maybe someday there will be a fence on the border.
3. Because I value the life of the unborn child.
2. Because I think the government should have a top notch military and take care of it.
But the number one reason is... I can't imagine the party of Pelosi, Reid, Kerry and Kennedy being in charge of my country.
My fellow Americans. In this election we have two sides. We have a desire and a will to bring the fight to the terrorist enemy versus a manufactured scandal designed and exaggerated by the far left activists. We have an economy that is the envy of the world versus class warfare. We have border security versus amnesty. We have lower taxes versus Hillary Clinton. Most importantly Hope and Perseverance will always triumph over Fear and Surrender. It comes down to Republicans versus Democrats. Take a stand and make your preference known. Vote Republican this November.

If you're seeing shades of gray, it's because you're not looking close enough to see the black and white dots.
I will vote Republican because I want to err on the side of those who feel the United States is basically good.
There comes a time when one must transcend the political arena and vote for the people who can best position America for the future. It may seem like a simple task, but it is not. Congress is full of people, who like the rest of us have failings but never the less; the time to stand tall and pull the lever of democracy is upon us. Do not send to Washington candidates that wish to weaken the resolve of America, the children need us more then ever to make the right decision. Vote for the republican candidate.
I am going to talk of controversial things. I make no apology for this.
It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self government."
This idea? that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream-the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path. Plutarch warned, "The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits."
The Founding Fathers knew a government can't control the economy without controlling people. And they knew when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. So we have come to a time for choosing.
Public servants say, always with the best of intentions, "What greater service we could render if only we had a little more money and a little more power." But the truth is that outside of its legitimate function, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector.
Yet any time you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders, we're denounced as being opposed to their humanitarian goals. It seems impossible to legitimately debate their solutions with the assumption that all of us share the desire to help the less fortunate. They tell us we're always "against," never "for" anything.
We are for a provision that destitution should not follow unemployment by reason of old age, and to that end we have accepted Social Security as a step toward meeting the problem. However, we are against those entrusted with this program when they practice deception regarding its fiscal shortcomings, when they charge that any criticism of the program means that we want to end payments....
We are for aiding our allies by sharing our material blessings with nations which share our fundamental beliefs, but we are against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism, all over the world.
We need true tax reform that will at least make a start toward I restoring for our children the American Dream that wealth is denied to no one, that each individual has the right to fly as high as his strength and ability will take him.... But we can not have such reform while our tax policy is engineered by people who view the tax as a means of achieving changes in our social structure....
Have we the courage and the will to face up to the immorality and discrimination of the progressive tax, and demand a return to traditional proportionate taxation? . . . Today in our country the tax collector's share is 37 cents of -very dollar earned. Freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp.
Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.
If all of this seems like a great deal of trouble, think what's at stake. We are faced with the most evil enemy mankind has known in his long climb from the swamp to the stars. There can be no security anywhere in the free world if there is no fiscal and economic stability within the United States. Those who ask us to trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state are architects of a policy of accommodation.
They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong. There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right. Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits-not animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.

I have voted Republican since 1984, except for the two Clinton wins(SIC), which I sat out because I felt I couldnt vote for either candidate. Boy was I wrong and ended up punishing myself, as well my country. Never again. I will vote Republican this year, although I am not a registered Republican.
The base can forgive but never forget...and should absolutely never quit! To sit this election out doesnt make any sense and plays into the hands of the left's agenda to divide and conquer. Just image congress supporting Ted Kennedy's policies. S-C-A-R-Y.

"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes. " - Ronald Reagan
The only measurable footprint of conservative governance guided by the Constitution of the United States is practiced by the Republican party. We, as beneficiaries of the wisdom of our Founding Fathers, and the sacrifices of so many to uphold that vision have a duty to pass the American Experience to the generations to follow.
We have a responsibility to reinvigorate the Republican party with conservative principles, the party that attracts the best and the brightest. William F. Buckley Jr., Ronald Reagan, and an army of countless dedicated people labored through the Dark Ages of destructive political trends to preserve and pass forward the American Ideal.
I urge you all to help carry the torch!
Because we can't afford to put in power a Democratic Party that:
A) forces us to fight the GWOT blind
B) kills small businesses by raising taxes on "wealthiest 1%"
C) opens the borders to drug dealers & terrorists
D) gives lawbreakers SSI benefits after granting them amnesty
E) is in bed with terrorist-supporting organizations like the International A.N.S.W.E.R., Tides Foundation, CAIR & United for Peace
F) wants Iran in charge of Iraq's oil fields via a puppet regime led by Muqtada al-Sadr.
G) won't confirm real judges.
Conservatives need to go out and vote because North Korea just validated the President's reason for being in Iraq. It is a lot more comfortable debating our actions in a WMD free Iraq than it will be to fix the Korean peninsula now that North Korea has a nuke. And don't think the Democrat party will do anything to fix the Iran problem before (or after) it becomes a BIG nuclear problem, either.
We cannot even begin to discuss things like abortion, illegal immigration, protecting marriage, or [fill in your favorite conservative cause here] until and unless our nation's sovereignty is secure. Arguably border security is part of the national security argument--but you can bet your bottom dollar the Democrat party won't even think about funding the 700 mile wall.
"The name of this century is the Century of the Love of Death. Death in this century is not the death people die but the death people live. Men love death because real death is better than the living death. That's why men like wars, of course. Bad as wars are and maybe because they are so bad, thinking of peace during war is better than peace. War is what makes peace desirable. But peace without war is intolerable. Why do men settle so easily for lives which are living deaths? Men either kill each other in war, or in peace walk as docilely into living death as sheep into a slaughterhouse."
We are weak and weary of war, but a vote for the Party of Death, the Party of the Living Death, for the intolerable peace these morally and intellectually bankrupt peacemongers would work makes us weaker and more deserving of defeat. The alternative to Republicans at this point in history is flat-out unacceptable. If we are stupid enough sit it out over immigration, and give up the House that is the only bar to the amnesty some are so angry about, or over any other issue where likewise the Dems are 180-degrees, then this country deserves what it gets.
The Republican record on Culture of Life issues is not perfect. But the floodgate of Culture of Death legislation Nanci Pelosi has waiting in hand terrifies me. Forget any thought of overturning Roe-v-Wade, hello human embryos as medicine. I'll run to the polls to vote Republican to avoid the Party of Death getting into power.
I will vote Republican in 2006 because
1 I want a prosperous America, where the poorest can achieve wealth, if allowed to save instead of pay high taxes, while benefiting from low unemployment and limited regulation.
2 I want a freer America, where my rights-- to own a gun, to determine my own healthcare arrangements-- are not infringed in the pursuit of an abstract common good.
3 I want a strong America-- one that does not cower when threatened by its enemies, which defends its interests, and exists as a beacon of hope to all who wish to be free.
Soppy, but there it is, Erick...

In their own words, how would the Democrats deal with. . .
. . . the war in Iraq? “Bush lied!”
. . . North Korea? “It’s Bush’s fault!”
. . . the war on terror? “Bush is a reckless cowboy!”
. . . tracking suspected terrorists? “Bush broke the law!”
. . . a strong economy? “Bush’s tax cuts only help the wealthy!”
. . . the Supreme Court? “Bush will force women into back-alley abortions!”
. . . illegal immigration? “Bush caved to the radical anti-immigrant right wing of his party!”
Why vote GOP? Because we need leadership, not pathology.
Stripped of routine craps out of Washington, you know, the never-ending campaign finance improprieties, the perpetual leaks of national secrets, sex this & sex that, etc.... what have we got left? Numerous issues of substance that affects us on a personal basis.
In their quest for `political correctness', there is just NO CONTEST that Democrats stand for most everything that offends the senses of decent, self-reliant people.
Bottom line, if you are proud to be an American and are thoroughly comfortable around America-First type of folks and count yourself as such, there is just NO CONTEST as to voting for the GOP!
State-enforced egalitarianism can succeed by making everyone equally poor. Vote Democrat.

This year I'll be voting for Bob Beauprez for Governor of Colorado instead of Bill Ritter because my little sister was nearly killed by an illegal immigrant in a hit and run accident on July 1st. Bill Ritter, during his time as Denver DA did all he could do to enable illegal immigrants in Denver, including making exotic plea bargins to avoid deportation and putting in place a DUI "catch and release" policy that has cost my family nearly $300,000 and my sister's fertility. Bill Ritter will turn Colorado into a sanctuary state now that Denver is a sanctuary city.
We can never allow this to happen again. Ever. Period.

But still.
Generally, my impression is that Republicans (the ordinary citizens, not their elected reps) are concerned about the issue, but it's not a priority for them, because they've been winning. Thus I was delighted to hear a rumor rolling around among the Dems that, if the Republicans lose in November, Karl Rove is going to say that they stole it. They always say this with much horror and indignation. To which I always reply, "Gee, I hope so! We need more Republicans riled up about this issue!"
It's also my impression that their elected officials are concerned about the issue too, but they are afraid to take it up too aggressively (or at all), because they are afraid that their constituents will think they've taken up with the conspiracy theorists.

My preferred solution, although technically, it is also "electronic" voting, in that those machines have software, too. There are those who argue that they can be hacked too, but...when we have optical scans in every precinct in the county, I'll be very happy start worrying about that.

"I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more I have of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
We had a bit of a fight to get the law through the legislature, but generally the disaster in one of our touchscreen counties in 2004 paved the way and it wasn't all that hard. As I said, the final vote was unanimous.
But then the counties had to choose between touchscreens with the "toilet paper" ballots (like a cash register tape, and printed by the machine) and optical scan. Now that was a battle! Some of the counties fought tooth-and-nail for the touchscreens. In the end, it was impossible to conclude that everyone involved was acting in good faith. (We had an election director convicted of taking kickbacks in memorable history.) At the same time, it was reassuring that, in most cases, if you gave people good information (and we had even crunched all the cost estimates for them...immediate purchase, training, and long-term maintenance), they usually made good decisions.
_______________________________
Partisanship...so 20th Century.
We got stuck with "toilet paper" ballots in about half of counties (optical scan in the rest), which we think have a number of drawbacks, but we're waiting to see if the proof is in the pudding or not. Our focus for the next couple of elections will be following through on the post-election audits, to make sure they are done properly, so we will finally have some hard data on how well our voting machines do or do not work.
We also have to remain vigilant to protect our law from being watered down. A few months back, some nameless someone tried to slip some language into another bill that would have allowed our State BOE (who selects the sample of precincts to be audited) to release the identities of the to-be-audited precincts before the election. Ha! No way! The alert went out, emails, faxes, and phone calls flooded legislative offices, and, by the end of the day, the bill was pulled from the floor and the offending language deleted.
And a lot of people hate the open source code requirement, because vendors don't wanna share...even with our Board of Elections.

The Iraqis and Afghans, who put their faith in us and are fighting side-by-side with us, are watching. As are the Iranian democracy activists, who know that they're lost if America loses its nerve. Then there's the people of "New Europe"--the British, the Poles, the Czechs, the Italians, the Danes. I.e, all the nations who passed on Jacques Chirac's advice to stay silent, and instead stood with the Americans and are fighting the jihadhis. And don't forget the Indonesian and Pakistani children who now play with toy Chinook helicopters, symbols of the caring Americans who came from the sky with relief during natural disasters.
They're all watching, because they've seen an image of an America that's resolute and ready to lead, and willing to stand and fight. Sadly, that's something you don't see much of from "civilized" nations nowadays.
We cannot let them down. Because there is no one else to step up in our place.
"Who will stand/On either hand/And guard this bridge with me?" (Macaulay)
the Republican Party, unlike the Democrat Party, believes wholeheartedly in a robust national defense which:
- Actively seeks to uproot and destroy al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations and nations which, if given the chance, would kill every single man, woman and child in this country;
- Places a greater emphasis on keeping Americans safe and sound than on ensuring Constitutional and other rights for terrorist killers;
- Affirms the longstanding idea of American exceptionalism, i.e. that America is a beacon of freedom and hope for the oppressed of this world, and that America has a special responsibility to strive for all of humanity to enjoy the freedom and prosperity that her citizens enjoy, as opposed to the typical liberal canards that America is an evil country that is no better than your average tin-pot dictatorship;
- Believes, unlike the Democrats, that America and her freedom-loving allies should not be constrained by the anti-democratic, anti-American, dictator-coddling United Nations in doing whatever is necessary to protect the free world from those who hate our way of life; and
- Does not judge the desirability or undesirability of foreign policy based on "international" (i.e. French) opinion.
I could go on and on, of course - but, in my mind, no other issues matter if the government does not keep us secure from the terrorist threat. One party, and one party only, is serious about national security, and it is NOT the Democrats.
Vote Republican this November. Our lives may very well depend on it.
If you don't vote Republican in 2006...
How many more terrorists will make us die?
How many more unborn children will never cry?
How many more new taxes will rake us dry?
If we ever have the chance again, will we rest as easy then?
The outlook will be very bleak if the Democrats gain just a few new seats.
So lets make some hay and vote Republican today!
That's really catchy. Please forward that along to the RNC. If they integrate it into their national marketing efforts, we're assured the votes of toddlers across the country. I'm thinking maybe Dora the Explorer could be the spokesperson in the ads.
If you believe that America doesn't need to "return" to greatness, because it already is great, then join the Party that made America the way it is. Join the party that defeated slavery in the 19th century, the party that defeated Communism in the 20th century, the party that will defeat terrorism in the 21st century, the Grand Ole Party.
Notice how I did not even MENTION Democrats here?
I don't want to vote GOP because I fear Pelosi or Hillary. I vote GOP because I love my party. I believe in the American way of life and that is why I am a Republican.
Republicans really are not just the lesser of two evils. We really are good.
I love George W. Bush for exactly that reason. He puts America first. He does what he feels is right for us. He does not care about polls or international opinion. That is called "being a leader" as opposed to being a follower.
But you know what guys? It isn't only a partisan thing. As much as I disapproved of Bill Clinton because of his politics and behavior, I would defend him to the death in front of a foreigner. He may have been a lying sac of ****, but he was my President and even on his worst day, he was 100 times better than Jacques Chirac on his best day.
How many liberals do we know who would so vigorously defend Bush? Not many. I think Charlie Rangel said a word or two after the Chavez incident, but thats all. They fail to realize who the REAL enemies are. That is why I am a Republican.
This November the voters have an important to choice to make. One party offers hope, safety, and prosperity while the other offers criticism and anger. If you want live in a country that aggressively fights terrorism, vote Republican. If you want to live in a country with an economy that's the envy of the modern world, vote Republican. If you want to live in a country that promotes low taxes and the entrepreneurial spirit, vote Republican. If you want to live in a country governed by men and not judges, vote Republican. If this isn't your vision of America, vote Democrat.
replacing "men" with "the people". You don't want to give the moonbats an excuse to call us shovinistic. (I know it is mis-spelled, I don't feel like looking it up)
"Men" has a long history of being used in cases where it is not limited to referring to just the male sex, just as "he" can be used as a pronoun to describe someone of indeterminate sex. The last thing we need to do is muddy up our rhetoric with clumsy PC speech. I've never used "he/she" or "he or she" and I'm not about to start doing so.

It would be easy to say I don't want to hear from "Speaker" Pelosi and/or Majority "Leader" Reid. But that's not what this is about.
- Republicans want a strong military.
- Republicans don't raise taxes as a rule. Those that do are RINOs.
- Republicans are by and large constitutional conservatives, meaning good judges.
- Conservative Republicans want secure borders.
Lastly, in the elections I will be voting on, there are no Democrats who believe in these things.
Republicans are far from perfect, and need to do a lot better at many things (spending, for example). But they seem willing to take on issues instead of politicizing them and just saying "no" for the sake of saying "no" in order to make political rivals look bad. Today's Democrats only seem to be able to do that. Unless they are in power, then they do none of the items mentioned above.
A just war leads to a just peace and freedom. An unjust peace leads to death.

Every time I consider the alternative I am reminded that the Democrats Party I once belonged to sold me out.
Liberalism is something I was taught to believe in as a college student. It was a state of mind that seemed natural; a built in distrust of authority wrapped up in self centered empathy.
All that changed when I had a child. I grew up and needed to be responsible. When I spoke my mind I was greeted with condescending criticism that didn’t have room for independent thought. That is when I knew that modern day liberalism is a lie.

I know this is more than 100 words, but I couldn't say this in so few words.
Many conservatives are troubled, angered, or feel disenfranchised by the National Republican Establishment. Recent scandals have tarred the image of Washington leadership. Some have called for “real conservatives” to sit out this election to prove a point. They seek to teach the Republican party a lesson for losing their way. They would seek to burn the Grand Ole Party to the ground with the hopes that a new conservative movement would rise like a Phoenix out of the ashes. I tell you today that we conservatives do not need to set fire to our home in the GOP for the sake of renewal.
For 40 years Congressional Republicans wandered in the political wilderness like the Hebrews did once they left Egypt. In 1994, led by Newt Gingrich, conservative Republicans stormed the gates of Washington and threw out the rascals. Not unlike the Hebrews, a few years after reaching the Promise Land, many Republicans have lost their way and abandoned their roots. We need to remind our leaders of those ideals that they once were stalwart supporters. Starting today, we need bring back the common sense conservatism that is such a part of the legacy of Ronald Reagan. We should look back to the giants of conservatism in the past, apply their principles today, and use them as a guide to find our way again. We can put the Republican Party on the right track again. I’m going to close with a quote from President Reagan,
“America’s best days lie ahead, and you know…You ain’t seen nothing yet!”

If you are really sick of 4.7% unemployment, 3+% GDP growth, a record high stock market, increasing disposable income and historically low interest rates, I am sure the Democrats can change that for you. But I am not sick of these things, nor am I sick of the President's willingness to take the fight to our enemies on our terms and will be voting Republican.
I am impressed by the knowledge and sincerity on display. The contributors and Redstate.com's staff should be proud.
At the same time, I am continually disappointed with the lack of substance from the left. Their platform is criticism and a quest for power, not service. Case in point, when a famously liberal newspaper here in Cleveland, Ohio publicly endorsed the democratic candidate for Governor, they actually said he "often appears stunningly free of vision".
This country forever deserves a spirited debate of the issues. It's what our founding fathers fought to establish. Keeping Republicans in office ensures this will happen.

I'm voting Republican because, while I do believe that most people in both major parties truly do want to work towards social justice, economic prosperity, and national security, Democrats are just really, really bad at it.
America has been tested in the same way metal is refined by fire. Republicans have led America through attacks on our country, a receding economy, substandard education, high gas prices, and spiraling health care costs. Under Republican leadership we’ve liberated millions of oppressed people around the world, and now have an unemployment rate half that of Europe. Immigration, although it needs more controls, is at a record high. The future on the horizon is bright, and with your help America can continue to be the Shining City on a hill for the rest of the world. Vote Republican November seventh.
Vote Republican and keep fighting the terrorists in the Middle-East.
Vote Democrat and wait for the terrorists to come back to America.

I chose Republican candidates because I believe in small Federal government; in the right for all citizens to make an honest living, but in no free lunch; in defense of the family and decent moral values; in reason over unbridled emotion; in love over hate; in honesty and openness instead of intentional deception; in a firm resistance to evil rather than sleeping with its proponents; that all men/women were created igual; and in the wisdom and inspiration of America's Founding Fathers.
The Republicans choose a strong military and vigilance over appeasment and weakness, and that democracy in the Middle East is our best defense.
Republicans believe the Constitution is the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, not a 'living document' - and that the Second Amendment isn't an afterthought.
They believe we have a duty to know who is coming over our borders.
They know that tax cuts increase revenue while raising the standard of living, and that fewer limits on business and more limits on government means more and better jobs.
Finally, Republicans believe America is the answer, not the problem.
Er, that is . . .
The Republicans choose a strong military and vigilance over appeasment and weakness, and believe that democracy in the Middle East is our best defense.
Because values are more important than feelings.
Because security is more important than sensitivity.
Because resolve works, and appeasement doesn't.
Because "the best defense is a good offense".
Because optimism and commitment are more attractive than finger-pointing hysteria.
Because outrage does not automatically bestow credibility.
Because both people and markets operate best when free.

Evil men hide from the truth, but good men stand upon it.
In the next 28 months, our country is going to have new leaders at the top in the US House, US Senate, and a new President.
Our (Republicans) mistakes and successes have given us the discernment to promise 3 areas of attention:
1. We will continue the tradition of the strongest national defense possible, win the war on terror, and defeat Islamic fascist terrorist.
2. We're going to be more frugal with your tax dollars by initiating the FAIR TAX, eliminating government waste, and enforcing all immigration laws.
3. Our leaders will have the character and the moral commitment to do what's right even when no one is looking.
The Republican Party offers the best choices for these roles and new leaders are on the way in this election cycle.
I traditionally vote Republican because I value the conservative ideals that this country's founders instilled in the fabric of the constitution: limited government, lower taxes, economic freedom, and a strong national defense. Many would argue, and I would agree, that the current GOP leadership have failed to use their recent majority to advance most of these ideals. Federal spending has been far too high, and the promised reforms of social security, income tax, and immigration policies have not materialized.
The temptation to punish our leadership for these failings must be set aside, however. This country is fighting a war that MUST be won, and we cannot afford to give control of either house to a party that will weaken our efforts. Imagine a congress that opposes every presidential policy, bogging our government down in impeachment proceeding, and withdrawing support for our defense. Don’t let the recent media campaign against the GOP leadership succeed in keeping you from supporting the party that will take this country forward.
It is in the best interests of myself and my country to prevent the party that believes:
We should negotiate with terrorists
That subscribing to the Kyoto Treaty would prevent 'Global Warming'
Open borders
Gun control
'rights' that make some groups of people more equal than others
Appointing judges to the Supreme Court that subscribe to using the laws of other countries to impose judgements
Increasing taxes
Restricting my rights by using the courts instead of legislation
Wants to ignore major world problems and instead concentrate on 'feel good' issues
and finally, wants Hillary Clinton to be president, Nancy Pelosie to be Speaker of the House, John Mutha to be a leader of anything and Harry Reid to lead the Senate.
[I believe that the psychologists call this sort of thing 'projection'. - Moe Lane]
I am afraid of everything. Of terrorists, or people who may look like them. Of anyone who is different from me, and threatens my American way of life. Of thinking for myself. Of courage and foresight. Of diplomacy.
I am afraid, and therefore, I will vote Republican.
The main reason I will vote Republican is because I absolutely detest a liar. All those Dims who voted for the war and voted to fight those evil ones who would destroy America (those evil ones who do not give a second thought to whether the American people are Republican or Democrat, who do not give a thought to freedom and liberty and peace), now have changed their minds and openly stated that their vote was wrong. When it comes to being dead or alive, a fat bank account takes second place. I do not want my president impeached. He does not deserve that. I do not want The Patriot Act to be revoked. I want it to become permanent. My elderly Mother is benefiting from the Prescription Drug Plan. I want it to stay. I do not want higher taxes. I want them to stay reduced permanently. I do not want the main stream media to win. I want them to lose. I just simply want to live and not die. I want Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and John Kerry and all the rest of these liars to just disappear into the garbage bin of history. Their faces make me sick. They have done their best to ruin this country. It's time for them to be gone.
that are standing up for what you believe. Even if you are angry with the party as a whole, don't abandon those social and fiscal conservatives who are fighting the influence of the "moderates" who curently run the party. They need your support. And if you are serious about why you are angry with the republican party, they require your support. How else do we take away the influence of these so called moderates?
And these candidates are all over the fruited plain. Blackwell in Ohio. Santorum in Pennsylvania. I am sure you have your own. Don't let them down. If you can't vote for all republican candidates, vote for those you can. I firmly agree that we are past time to vote for the lesser of two evils, but in this way you can vote positively!
Because as much as my life sucks right now and is going to suck even worse in a month, I happen to like the idea of continuing to breathe.
I like to see my wife breathing in her sleep and talk to my friends (both male and female).
I like my DnD and my SCA and my BattleTech (yes, I'm a nerd).
I LOVE Baseball, soccer and football, and music (especially videos) and movies and political/religious/racial jokes.
Voting other than Republican for the foreseeable future means an end to all of this.

I want all y'all to take a look at this one; this has been the first smarta*s response in this thread that was actually worth anything. It's sufficently surreal to be interesting and sufficently original that we're not smelling the paste. This is value-added smarta*sery, in other words.

not going to vote Republican. A little balance in government will be postive for the country. Bush will get to use his veto pen more often, Republicans can really start hating Democrats again, and as Madison said, "ambition must be made to counteract ambition."

I like the government listening to my phone calls.
I like saddling my children with a nearly insurmountable national debt.
I prefer a Supreme Court that legislates from the bench (Thomas, Kennedy, and Scalie being the most likely to overturn written law)
I think sending our brave men and women into war is fun! And I like it even better when the rationale for that war has changed 4 times.
I like big government.

2004 Elections: Bush Kerry
No High School Degree: 49% 50%
H.S. Degree only: 52% 47%
Some College: 54% 46%
College Graduate: 52% 46%
Postgrad: 44% 55%
Ok so for those saying Democrats are dumber because Kerry got more of the less educated votes, you're obviously less educated and can't read voter rolls. Kerry stomped Bush in the well post grads, while Bush overwhelmingly won the only H.S. degree bumpkins.
Give me a break. I realize you guys like to lie, but do it in a manner in which others can't call you on.
educated idiots. If they were smart, they would have been able to make a living without wasting more time listening to other postgrads.
Envisioning when all that is Left is the Right.
Bush overwhelmingly won the only H.S. degree bumpkins.
Is that what the numbers say?
No HS Kerry +1
HS Bush +5
Some College Bush +8
BA/BS Bush +6
Postgrad Kerry +11
Any fair reading of this would be that Kerry got the uneducuated and the postgraduate vote. Given the relative numbers of each of these categories anyone who can make the assertions you make shouldn't be allowed out of their room without their Mommy.
Guess we know you aren't one of the postgrad supporters, don't we.

- Because I only care about me...
And I will only vote for STRAIGHT Republicans
I'm sorry, you're all wrong. We need lots of new Dems in the government, because Republicans need new faces to blame for the present fiascos. Blaming Clinton is getting pretty dang old.
Before I get into it, though, I'd like to point out that my take on the contest was why to vote for the GOP - not why to vote against the Democrats. This distinction, I believe, is the biggest thing missing in the efforts of the Republican party heading into the November elections - at least here in Wyoming as Cubin fights to hold what should be an easy seat, and in neighboring CO where many races that should go GOP are trending Dem. We have a lousy method of getting our message out this election cycle... So, without further ado, why I am for the Republican Party this November, not just against the Democrats:
----------------------------------------------------------
The Republican Party has a history of doing what is in the best interests of America and her people. We stand up to threats against our national security and the security of our allies, even when those decisions are unpopular or lead to difficult times. We know that right makes might and that freedom is one of the most basic human rights that all people deserve. And we will do whatever it takes to secure that right for the men and women in America.
We understand fiscal policy, and understand that reducing the heavy burden of taxation on all families and businesses increases creativity, job growth, and a desire to succeed that drives the free market we fight to defend.
We understand that building a strong culture is inherent in building a strong country, and seek to protect the fundamental right of life, to uphold justice, and to strengthen families - for this is the culture we fight to defend.
And we welcome others into that culture with open arms if they have shown they truly want to be a part of it. We understand that we live in an increasingly global society, but with that comes the security and cultural threats of neighbors who don't necessarily agree with us or desire to harm us. We understand good fences make good neighbors.
And we understand that leadership means having vision and boldly embracing and moving toward it. We understand leadership means not always being popular, but being courageous in the face of opposition. And it means steadfastly holding to principles that have guided the greatest country in the world for over 200 years.
That is why, on November 7, 2006, I will be voting Republican.
(More than 100 words, but I truly couldn't find a way to say it more concisely without losing its power... maybe I could be in the "over 100 words" category of the contest?) :)

Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same. -The Fray, "All At Once"
As a veteran, I have fought in the War on Terror. As a son, I have promised to make them proud of their child. As a husband, I treasure my wife, and want to leave our future children a world in which they have no worries, no fears, and freedom. As an American, I have pledged upon all which is sacred to uphold the duties that come with my American birthright. To allow those in power who would wreck that with ill-conceived principles is an abdication of that pledge. For those reasons and more, I will vote Republican this November.

My GOP Senator and Representative have been in accord with the issues I care about.
-Having to listen to the nut case jibber jabber that will ensue if Pelosi becomes speaker of the house will turn us into a kangaroo congress. Meaning impeachment and other proceedings.
-Because the dems can't even unite their own party, let alone this country or the international community.
-Higher Taxes
-Internal strife will distract us from the enemy at large.
-We will be one step closer to becoming a country of socialism and the secular progressives will have more power in congress.

someone has to pay to host it (that would be us) and then there is the opportunity cost to consider of the time lost reading idiocy when you could be reading something else.
Why the GOP? Because this country needs a party with courage and conviction, who will face the storm and not bow or break; who is steeped in boldness rather than naivete.
Because we need leaders who respect the traditions and underpinnings of this great land and whose allegiance is to America first, and not to their own political party.
Because we need a party true to the American charter---who sees fit to liberate the individual, so our ingenuity can progress unbound by the great governmental leash, whether it be taxes, excessive regulations, or a subjective sense of fairness.

I am voting Republican this year because of:
Family Values that honors the roles of fathers and mothers in the caring for their children.
Fiscal Responsibility to leave a government that is not bankrupt for the next generation.
Lower taxes that help put food on my table and helps businesses provide more jobs.
National Security by protecting our border and ports from those who want to attack us again.
And the War in Iraq, where although we are not doing as well as I’ve hoped, we have to win, and we can’t give up. We can’t let the terrorists win. The United States helped to turnaround Japan after World War II, so that proves that we can also turnaround Iraq.
Why am I voting Republican in November?
Because I care about my family, I care about my country, and I care about liberty around the world.
That’s why I’m voting Republican in November.
[God, this was pathetic even by Moby standards. Moe Lane]
i came across this contest, but i honestly think we need to expand the discussion (i've always thought this but these idiotic dems posting here makes me need to say it). I dont think we should be asking ONLY why vote Republican, but also how we keep President Bush in office. FDR did it during a time of crisis and we should do the same now. We should suspend the Presidential election as long as necessary in order to send a clear message to the rest of the world that we are not going to back down from these threats. I think we should do a contest about that. Why should we suspend the Presidential election in '08 and pledge our loyalty (and patriotism) to President Bush, as long as he requires it?

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them. -Ronald Reagan
We elect representatives for terms of two years and senators for six. We cannot predict many of the issues our government will face during their terms. However, we must elect officials who can deal with the unforseen issues. It is important to Vote Republican this November so that we have a government in place capable of dealing with the next set of threats; North Korea, China, Iran, Social Security… The other party is running on fear, uncertainty and doubt, trying to form a government based on the next two months but we need to Vote Republican so that we can elect officials that will best serve the national interests over the next 2 years.
I'm voting Republican because by fighting in Iraq all terrorists have signed a pledge to only attack us there, the federal deficit is at an all-time low, the size of government has gotten smaller, our word is trusted around the world and Condi Rice and George W. Bush focused exclusively on Osama bin Laden in the 9 months preceding the 9-11 attack. The Mission is Accomplished and Mark Foley isn't a predator; he's Republican who truly cares for our kids (when he's not trying to get into their pants).
Well wait wait wait... If the terrorists HAVEN'T signed a pledge only to attack in Iraq, doesn't that mean they've been TRYING to attack here? And been FAILING, thanks to the War on Terror and the global alliance in it built by President Bush?

Because there is no choice, if one loves America.
Just like in 2004, when voters were asked to choose between a President who had clearly demonstated he would defend America,
and a person who stood in front of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on 22 Apr 1971 and said"""" I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government and of all eight of Madam Binh's points it has been stated time and time again, """""
Both Delegations meaning two enemy delegations. The Democrat Party nominated the person who admitted he had met with America's enemies during wartime and adopted/promoted the enemies views, to be President of this country.
The Democrats give us no choice, each of us must vote Republican if we love America.
