EDITOR OF REDSTATE

December 31st Looms

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  December 29th, 2009 at 10:29 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

“The last day of freedom comes if we do not elect freedom fighters. And Nikki Haley fights for freedom.”

I would normally put up a post at this time of year with several candidates you might want to give money to.

But right now we need to focus on one candidate because we have done a lot for a lot of people, but we need to do more for Nikki Haley.

I get calls and emails all the time asking, “Erick, what can we do to take back the party and shift the country?”

Friends, we take seriously candidates in states other than our own. We find good people who can win and who are conservative. We fund them. We pray for them. We volunteer for them. We do what we can.

You may live in a pathetic state with a bad Governor who is not running for election this coming year. Your Governor may refuse to do anything to fight Obamacare at the state level.

So your option is to do nothing or adopt another candidate in a different state.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I submit to you that we must get Nikki Haley elected Governor of South Carolina. To do so, however, we must help her out of the primary.

I’d love to tell you that you can go knock on doors, stick stamps on envelopes, etc., but right now this is a money game. The December 31st fundraising deadline is serious business. Nikki Haley is going up in the polls. We need to get her momentum going in the right direction.

Nikki Haley needs your money. The last day of freedom comes if we do not elect freedom fighters. And Nikki Haley fights for freedom.

    Kennedy’s old seat is up for grabs, Yes there is a chance, forget the polls, talking to the people here in W/Mass I can honestly say they are fed-up with the taxes, lack of good paying jobs and looking ridicules. Scott Brown is staying away from the social issues that seem to be turning off some conservatives but is strong on fiscal responsibility. In some of the most liberal towns out here, they have passed tax overrides, barely and that has the unenrolled/independents mad as hell and some of the liberals wondering. This is the tipping point and we have a chance of getting a Republican Senator elected. A battle over funding for veterans has pushed many past the tipping point of tolerating the liberals out this way and they are fighting mad as hell.

    However this has not gotten much national attention, it seems the usual lame stream media is not picking up the facts, I suppose it has to slap them up side the head for them to notice. This includes that National GOP as they have not put much in to Scott Brown. Time is running out, January 19 is close, Scott Brown is under funded but has the troops on the ground. Despite being a mushy Republican, (conservative for this area) he is getting support from the Tea Party and 9|12 groups and some of these groups are taking Alinsky?s rules and throwing it right back at the liberals. But where is the media on this, especially on the conservative side? Why are they not reporting the facts? Mass is not as liberal as many think, granted the far left liberals tend to be noisy but they are not the majority up here. It is up to you to decide what values you want, Socialism, Fascism, Marxism, Nazism and Martha Coakley or Scott Brown. Silence is complicity as is not showing some support for Scott Brown, so is the GOP supporting hard-core socialism, you decide. Time has almost run out and everyone must act now to get some help up here.

    “You may live in a pathetic state with a bad Governor who is not running for election this coming year. Your Governor may refuse to do anything to fight Obamacare at the state level.”

    You have just described Gov. Jim Doyle in WI.

    God help us as the inmates are running the asylum.

    I saw mention of Scott Brown on a blog on Smart Girl Politics this morning, and someone mentioned getting Erick on this to get more exposure!

    I live in Kentucky and plan to spend the afternoon posting this wherever I go on line. We need to start make lots of noise about this to build support and attention. We can do a NY-23 and win this time!!

    How about it Erick….you wanna lead the conservative charge!?

  • suej

    TODAY!

  • rec0n

    If you can’t go through them, go around them.

  • sallyal

    Taken care of.

  • wolfeman

    How about working some magic and find us a good conservative candidate to run against Richard Shelby here in Alabama so we don’t have to put up with his earmarks for 6 more years! Any help would be greatlly appreciated.

  • itsjoanne

    As usual the RNC and RNSC is totally ignoring a race they should be helping.

    A win by Scott Brown denies Reid his filibuster proof majority. And Brown is against Obamacare.

    This is our best chance to stop this bill now.

    I see that Scott Brown’s voting record reads like a ‘squishy’ Republican. On Olympia Snowe sort. Think I should have checked that out first.

    Mea Culpa!

    GOP lets Scott Brown fend for himself

    I just got off from a conference call with Scott and he clearly avowed again he is against healthcare, crap and tax, card check and all the others. Trust me, we will hold him accountable.

    Consider the alternative, Martha Coakley is a far left socialist/progressive.

    Let us do a comparison

    Look at NSDAP, composed by Adolf Hitler and Anton Drexler, The Nazi Party.

    http://www.hitler.org/writings/programme/

    #9 ?All citizens shall have equal rights and duties?

    Martha Coakley strikingly similar

    #2 ?Equal Rights and Opportunity-Martha Coakley believes our democracy is based??

    http://marthacoakley.com/about/Issues/details/20

    Look at NSDAP, #13 ?We demand the nationalization of all corrupt businesses which have been formed into corporations?

    Martha Coakley strikingly similar

    #3 ?Martha believes the best way to get our economy back on the right track is to tackle the economic crisis head on and to take all necessary steps – ravaged by risky investments, unfair tactics, and market uncertainties. By making bold and wise (government?) investments in health care, energy and education??

    http://marthacoakley.com/about/Issues/details/21

    However, I could continue but you decide if there is any more similarity

    http://marthacoakley.com/about/Issues

    But, do not stop there, take a look here for some more similarity here

    http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.htm

    # 2. ?A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.?, right from The Communist Manifesto. Yet now we have on federal income taxes, top 5% pay 53.25% of all income taxes, the top 10% pay 64.89%, the top 25% pay 82.9%, the top 50% pay 96.03% and the bottom 50%, they pay a paltry 3.97% of all income taxes. ?Tax the rich? such a typical democrat party line yet they accuse their opponents of tax cuts for the wealthy.

    Do not throw away your chance, Brown is no Olympia Snowe

    Sure, he isn’t ideal, but he seems more conservative than Snow.

    There is a chance of winning here. Heck, even if it is close we could claim a win because it would rattle some of the fence leaning democrats.

    I never voted before in my life. I registered yesterday, and put a scott brown sign on both my front and back lawn and picked up some bumper stickers.

    Vote for Scott Brown, the 41s vote in the senate

  • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

    Feel free to write posts on him there.

    That’s what it’s for. The Front Page can’t cover every race everywhere. That’s why we have a community and give you all access to your own diaries.

  • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

    You can’t really prove that Brown isn’t a Snowe or a Specter by quoting Coakley’s webpage.

    It is a wave file I made of Brown?s speech

  • http://www.mysimplehomegarden.com tbaleno

    Its not like its some mayorial race in some small back woods city.

    It is an important race. Seeing as it could be the 41st vote to kill heathcare.

    I look at redstate similar to how redstate looks at the minority leadership in the senate. Just throw in the towel if thinks look like it might take just a tad bit of energy. I’m sure I’ll forgive redstate, but I do feel they have abandoned us in MA.
