Message of the Day

We Win, They Lose.

By: Martin Knight (Diary)  |  November 2nd, 2010 at 06:35 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

VOTE

No matter how Dark Blue or Deep Crimson your district and state – Vote.

No matter how far ahead or behind the Republican is in the polls – Vote.

It’s really simple; we win, they lose.

Ain’t no shame in running up the score. We’re aiming for EVERY SINGLE SEAT.

Vote.

Important Update: If you’ve voted already – either absentee or early voting – excellent. It means you’re available to volunteer for GOTV, phone-banking, driving folks to the polls, poll-watching, wave a banner at a street corner, etc.
Get out and do something.
Well … what’re you still doing here?

    Saturday was their “rally to restore sanity”. Today is ours.

    (After the wife went in at 7 AM). First time I’ve been out of the house before the dawn in ages. Clear sky, crisp air, beautiful sliver of a waning crescent moon, and my still-lit pumpkin eeriely smiling at me as I leave the driveway. Good candles.

    Today is going to be a great day in History and I am proud to be on the front line.

    It’s a great day to be an American. :) Been waiting for this day a LONG time!

    2012.

    Snowe, Corker, Hutchinson, Lugar and Hatch.

    OUT!

    Oh yeah…that current inhabitant of the white house.

    The Las Vegas Review Journal has one of the most excellent editorials against a politician I have seen in a long time.

    It takes Reid’s own statements, or those of his campaign, lines them up, and shows how they yell “Ready, Aim, FIRE!” at each other.

    An excerpt:

    “The senator’s campaign derides Ms. Angle’s fiscally conservative positions as not only “extreme” but “crazy” and “dangerous.” Then Sen. Reid’s supporters point out that Ms. Angle, if elected, would be a senatorial back-bencher, unable to accomplish anything for the state’s interests.

    How, exactly, can Ms. Angle be dangerous and politically impotent at the same time? Sen. Reid certainly won’t say.

    Conversely, Sen. Reid’s cheerleaders point out that he’s so powerful Nevadans would be stupid to replace him with Ms. Angle. No one can do more to create jobs and serve up pork. Sen. Reid himself says it’s his job to create jobs.

    Yet Nevada continues to have the nation’s highest unemployment rate, and Nevada not only ranks last among the 50 states in federal tax dollars returned per capita, but last in “stimulus” funding as well. And let’s not forget that although Sen. Reid claimed to have single-handedly rescued the world from an economic depression, he blames Nevada’s woes on former President Bush and Republicans.

    So our job-creating, world-saving, pork-scoring senator can’t create jobs, lift Nevadans’ standard of living or bring home the bacon, after all?”

    …a couple of weeks ago. Early absentee ballot. I made sure to send this one registered mail, since my 2008 ballot never arrived. Best 10 euro I have ever spent!

    Tsch?ss Kirkpatrick! Herzlich Wilkommen Senator Gosar!

    • builder20

      I mean Congressman Gosar!!!!! LOL! We can keep Senator McCain and Kyl for now!

  • tjpeco

    …to send that jerkface Alan Grayson to his permanent hosting gig on MSNBC.

    The only thing keeping me from yelling out a string of expletives as I did so was the respect for the American Legionnaires that staffed the polling area.

    Damn that felt good.

    • Doc Holliday

      now since the day is early, call some friends and neighbors and ask them if they need a ride to vote. They will likely vote on their own after being called out.

      You can also knock on a few doors or volunteer to hand out Republican sample ballots and/or poll watch. I say this to you, I say this to everyone, and I am taking my own advice.

      • tjpeco

        I’ve already made sure all my local friends have voted. Most of them voted early. I’ve started my texting campaign to family and friends to make sure they’re going to go vote.

        • Doc Holliday

          in droves!

  • WIBadger

    …for the people on the losing end.

    Which is what we want.

    No excuses – VOTE (I’m off to do so right now and watch Russ Feingold crash & burn tonight) ) !

    • proudgop

      Its dead here in NYC in West Village

      How is turnout in other locals? morning rush is about over on east coast now

  • http://theminorityreportblog.com Repair_Man_Jack

    We take it. I attacked at dawn. And stood in line for a LONG time at my precinct. So long that I was a tad late. That “I Voted” sticker looks mighty fine to me right now…

  • mark1957

    That is how I felt in the voting booth this morning. Pelosi’s reign of terror is over.

    • banzaibob

      and show it to the other demos so they can turn to stone.

  • zipbags

    Well I don’t think so. But, read this editorial from the NY Times…But, more importantly read the comments.

    One guys says the Beck rally only had 87k people. Whereas the Stewart rally had 150k

    two very long years to do – exercise my right to vote the inexcrable Tim Walz out of office and put Randy Demmer and Tom Emmer in.

    Have emailed my two college student children their ‘suggested’ list of who to vote for and sent out reminders to me rather hefty email contact list with the same.

    Spent the weekend doing GOTV calls…and now it’s just a matter of waiting to see if all the hard work will put the statewide races outside the MOS. Mark Ritchie, Secretary of Thievery, pulled it off with Franken last time which meant that the only vote I enjoyed more than the one for Demmer over Walz was voting to toss Mark Ritchie out on his lying, Soros-funded, ACORN a$$.

    • texasgalt

      and neither do the donks. Roll wave, roll.

      voted- check, straight R
      1/2 day at work- check
      shot glass- check
      bourbon- check
      recliner- check

      Yeah, I’m ready.

      I’m skipping the election watch parties for a private celebration at home. This one is personal.

  • lineholder

    The lines at the voting site were about 20-25 long the entire time I was there. This is a respectable amount of early voting at a township location. Most of the voters were 50+. Very few younger voters, even though we have several medium-to-large size colleges nearby.

    From what I’ve been hearing, there has been an increase in attendance with each day that has passed. Same basic demographics.

    Gotta go. Working 11-9 today. Don’t get to watch the fun. Somebody enjoy it twice for me, okay?

  • lineholder

    A week ago. Lines were decent and steady for a township voting site. Mostly 50+ age group, even thought there are several medium-to-large colleges nearby. Word around town is that the lines have increased with each day that has passed, same demographics.

    Gotta go. Working 11-9 today. Don’t get to watch the fun. Someone enjoy it twice for me, okay?

  • jimc1969

    Your right about saying to vote even in Dark Blue districts, at the very least, it will make the next round of Gerrymandering more challenging for them……

  • Ditto

    At our little tiny polling place in the North County of San Diego, the place was hopping. This is a predominately Conservative district – good to see everybody out. Now I’m exercising the other option – the one Grandma taught me long, long ago. “You can’t fall far when you’re on your knees”

    Step 1: VOTE for our liberties!
    Step 2: PRAY for our nation!

    Rinse / Repeat!

  • itrytobenice

    Vote. No matter where you are or how safe your district. My guy is up 86% to single digits. I’m voting.

    I want 90%. I don’t want to just win. I want to put the fear of the electorate back in the Ds. I want them to be afraid to rename a post office.

    The next time some Queen Nancy wants to walk through a protest against gov’t control with her great big gavel in her hand, I want her to know that it’s going to cost them everything. Safe seats. Marginal Seats. Everything.

  • uselogic

    this morning. A great way to start the day!

    I’m just a little worried, though. Our precinct in Orlando was eerily quiet; biggest line was 14 folks. Hope it was all the absentee and early voting on OUR part. I was poll-watching against Grayson’s expected dirty tricks but it was so quiet I went in to the office a bit earlier than I’d planned.

    Best wishes to all the rest of you Redstaters out there, to your candidates and to our nation!
