Poll
Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Not only that, but if Republicans give up on this election then down-ballot candidates will lose as well. Republican candidates for United States Senate, Members of Congress, State House and Senate, County Commission and City Council across the nation will be swept aside - not because they were not good candidates and not because they didn't perform well as incumbents; but because Republicans stayed home.

Didn't vote.

Left it to the Democrats.

Is that what you want? Me neither.

It is not a surprise to me that the CBS News/NY Times poll has Obama leading by the largest margin. I'm not suggesting they are lying, but it is not unknown in survey research to apply weighting to the results to affect the results.

If we allow the Coastal Elites to decide for the rest of us who will hold the reins of political power then we deserve what we get: - Obama as President - A 60-vote Democrat Senate Majority - A huge Democrat majority in the House - Two new Liberal members of the US Supreme Court. Don't like that? Then don't buy the Liberal hype. This race has three weeks to go and this is how it can be won:

- Win your precinct
- Win enough precincts and we win the county
- Win enough counties and we win the state
- Win enough states and we win the White House.

It's just that easy.

For the next three weeks, work hard and keep the faith.

Mr. Galen
Have you learned nothing? By themselves, Democrats are completely helpless. They are both ideologically and practically incompetent, and they don't do anything without Republicans taking the lead on it. Look at the bailout saga. That was years and years of Dem-GOP politics condensed into a week. Republicans developed the plan in response to a crisis caused by the government (including Republicans) with the Democrats shrieking and demanding in the background. After some initial resistance, GOP Congressmen who were inclined to resist the bailout were eventually threatened, guilted, and bribed into voting yea. They caved. That is the entire history of the Republican Party.

If Republicans would just stop cooperating with Democrat rabble-rousing for collectivism, the crap would stop. Democrats have nothing, and they know it. Instead, the GOP has been spiritually and politically cowardly, always fearing the consequences of not showing enough "compassion" and always "me-tooing" the Democrats. Where has it gotten us? To total, unmitigated destruction, and defeat for the GOP.

Yet, Republican voters are expected to dutifully vote for these same individuals who are responsible for our destruction, on the grounds that the Democrats are much worse, even though the Democrats are not worse. The Democrats do not do anything, and nothing is far superior to the "something" which the GOP has been doing to this country.
