Democrats Pretending Today's Elections "don't matter"

Funny how Democrats decide what's important and what's not.

If Bush made a mistake, it was front page news. If Øbama does, it's "not important".

If Democrats win an election, it's the NEW WAVE of PROGRESSIVISM taking over the country.

If Republicans/Conservatives win an election, it doesn't have a real significance beyond the state or district directly involved.

My GOD they are full of s**t!

Every Democrat who can find a microphone is rushing to declare that a Republican/Conservative win in Virginia, New Jersey and/or the 23rd district of NY will not be important!  ("Move along, people, nothing to see here...")

It really speaks to their deep fear that they are going to lose at least two of them. And what it will mean is a shift from the ecstasy of "Øbamamania" to a hard landing into reality.

Don't let them fool you. The victory of Hoffman in the 23rd NY, and Bob McDonnell in Virginia will drive them crazy, worry them to death, influence the Blue Dogs...and maybe even help us defeat Øbamacare.

Democrat losses in any of these races will be monumental.  And it should encourage us. We are standing up, gathering, and we are on the move!

WSJ writer, typically, misses the point

About the NY House race in which the RINO candidate, Dede Scozzafava, is going to lose because the a third candidate, Doug Hoffman, who actually is a Conservative, is siphoning votes away from the pathetic GOP choice...

...the Journal writer has this to say:

...Read the entire article:

But these newly energized conservatives present GOP leaders with a potential problem: The party's strategy for attracting moderate voters risks alienating activists who are demanding ideological purity, who may then gravitate to other candidates or stay at home. It's a classic dilemma faced by parties in the minority -- tension between those who want a return to the party's ideological roots and those who want candidates most likely to win in their districts.

He seems to think that this so-called "strategy" is a sensible one, a winning one, and is being "threatened" by the demands of the ideological extreme.

Sigh.

This conventional wisdom has been proven so wrong so many times in so many ways, by so many people that it's amazing that anyone who can read a cereal box still believes it.

We have to be vigilant against this false and self-defeating notion. We will hear it from friends, opponents, and certainly Party leadership. But, ultimately the GOP will learn to stand for conservatism, or it will go the way of the Whigs.

And honestly, I almost think it would be easier to create a new Conservative Party from scratch than to clean out the Augean Stable that is the Republican party

From David Harmer's Campaign

Friend --

As the old saying in politics goes, "If they are attacking you, you must be doing something right!" That something right is standing up in strong opposition to the massive expansion of government spending, deficits and debt coming out of Washington.

The Pledge

When we began "We the People" of San Mateo County, we started with three goals:

1) Stop ObamaCare

2) Stop Cap & Trade

3) "Throw the Bums Out"

The first two are obvious. The third caused some consternation because traditional wisdom tells us that if you "throw" the Republican out...chances are you get a Democrat.

And everyone agrees that's a lousy result.

But for too long, we've been voting the "lesser of two evils"—and ended up with "evil" as our representative. Well, we see where that has got us. The state of the nation today is a direct result of that kind of thinking...and that kind of voting.

When you do what we did, you get what we've got.

Voting for the "R" just to keep the "D" out of office is NOT WORKING. We have the most corrupt, unresponsive, insulated, spendthrift, controlling, regulating, taxing government ever.

All we've done is give the Republicans permission to nominate principle-free party hacks with little or no respect for The People they're supposed to represent; weak-willed stooges who will do what they're told and are highly susceptible to the temptations of privilege, popularity, power and greed.

If we want our government to change—we have to change. And nothing will if we continue to do the same thing expecting different results.

We will only prove we are too stupid or too insane to govern ourselves.

We're not.

And all around us, people are figuring out that we have to change the way we do things, change the template, change the paradigm. Glenn Beck is the most prominent voice to proclaim that it's no longer about Parties, but about Principles. I suggest we listen.

Pajamas Media's Jeff Pope has joined that choir, and his piece today is essential reading if you want to understand just what we're up against, and why a new politics is critically important.

Unless we break the back of the insiders' club that is Washington, D.C. (and most State governments) we will continue on he road to serfdom, and bequeath our children, and theirs, a life of subjection instead of freedom.

As I see it, we have no choice if we are to ever call ourselves "Americans" with pride again.

We need to implement this program, or something like it. No more dancing with the devil. If the Republican Party wants to return to its roots as full-throated defenders of individual rights and the free market, of limited government, of low taxes, of less regulation...fine. They have to prove it. And if it takes losing a few elections because Republicans & Independents refuse to vote for squishy "moderate" political hacks they nominate, until they get the clear, strong and unequivocal message, SO BE IT.

It's the best, and perhaps the ONLY chance to make them obey us...instead of stampeding us down the road to perdition as they are doing now.

We must seek out candidates that are loyal to Principles, no matter what their party. And we must vote for them, even if it "wastes" our vote...because if we don't, nothing will ever change. If the Republicans see that they are losing because principled conservative third party or Independent candidates "take away too many votes", they'll start nominating principled conservative candidates. It's the law of the Free Market...you give your customers what they demand.

And THAT'S something most Republicans still understand.

The problem is not in the representative system of government; rather it is in the perversion of the government by the current people in office.

They need to go. Now."

Just in Case...

This is not an official endorsement. We don't do that.

But...just in case you're interested in replacing Barbara Boxer with someone whose IQ is larger than her shoe size, here is Chuck DeVore's website.
