I volunteered my time and mileage for Kasich's campaign for Governor a few times and nobody responded. I'm a registered R, doesn't seem like it made any difference.

When it should be Washington Delende est.

Agree with Dave on this one.  We must organize, moblize and vote in November.

For those who volunteered and are ignored or rebuffed, please try again with that campaign or another.

It frustrates me to no end when precinct captains/campaigns fail to get volunteers involved.  Failing to deliver a sign or assign people tasks just throws cold water on your supporters.

All I can say if you have tried to volunteer, please try again.  Often, you are contacting fellow volunteers who get overwelmed with their other (paying and family) committments.

Good work, Dave. Your  post has inspired me to do something. Maybe swap out fall clothes for summer? Perhaps a nap?Not sure what that something is but I'm sure it will be productive.

And I owe it *all* to you.

This election . . . is lost!!

The best way to volunteer is show up at your local congress critter's campaign headquarters. 

You can find out what the GOP is doing in your area by going to this site.   Just type in your zip, and it will show you what they have going on.   You can, also, just show up at their local office, and get campaign info for your congress critter.

http://tiny.cc/z63uw

curious, if they turned you down, it is probably that you are registered as an independent.   You will have to convince them that you are not a plant, or someone that is not trying to get info to spread to the 'enemy'.   They may still not allow you to volunteer.

I was being a smartass when I said I had no sympathy.   What they did was wrong, but about half way through that vid the state trooper showed up showing his ass, too.   They just didn't like what the guy was doing, so they hauled him off to jail.   It may have been that the sign was too big?   Regs on the event or something.

Still, they acted stupidly.

Races that hit home for me....

Colorado 3:  Scott Tipton Vs. Lil Salazar.  He can be beat, and if so, would be a great sign of the wave.  He was down in a recent poll by a sizable margin.

Colorado 7:  Ryan Frazier running against Ed Pukemutter.  Leans Dim, Frazier a black guy and an excellent candidate.  Should he pull it out, it probably means 60 seats for the gop.

South Carolina 5 Fake moderate Dim John Spratt Vs. Mick Mulvaney  This old turd needs to be flushed.  Voted for Ostumblecare.  A big wave if he gets the boot.

I dont think he will run.. but yeah

He doesn't have much name recognition. And when he does open his mouth he tends to piss off the SoCons. While I appreciate he doesn't mince his words, he should probably think a bit more before he speaks if he's at all serious.

Kind of seems to me that that is the case, de facto.  If under 2000 govt employees already owe more than $14 million in overdue taxes and if that is just a sample, my guess is that if you are a govt employee, taxes are pretty much optional.

Speaking of Paul Ryan:

Oh agreed.  I just wanted an excuse to use my Ben Quayle shtick.

It's only a matter of time before Federal workers will be exempt from Federal income tax. I'm surprised that that hasn't happened yet.

We're already there. The LA Times had a story a few days ago on this. Nearly $900K in back taxes is owed by the liberal scum in Barky's administration. And nearly one billion is owed by fed. employees.

I wasn't surprised by this of course. What surprised me was the the LAT actually reported it. Between this and the welfare fraud in casinos/strip club story, I was gobsmacked.

I'm trying very hard not to get my hopes up too far, but when I look back on the AK primary & the polls that were coming out before that election, we may very well have many surprises in November.

They all attend Tea Party events, b/c that is what the Tea Party movement is about, granted many there are pro-life, but social issues are not the main thrust of the movment. My gay collegues who own a small biz are staunch conservatives.

Also, conservatives sit back, and let assholes like Schieffer get away saying things in interviews without being confronted.  These are paper bullies, I remember when my wife and I were campainging for McPalin, I was stunned at how easily some of the repubs would give up when confronted with lies, and my wife and I were campaigning and fighting harder for Palin as democrats.

my pro-choice wife and MIL use the line: "Bush with majorities in the House and Senate didn't touch this issue, why the hell would think this would be major issue now?"

they have converted more and more liberatrian/centerist dems into consitutional conservative independents.

the mindset is different on the non-socially conservative side.

Heh.  Good point.  Had to run as a sleazy dick from Ashville.

Everytime I see a white guy running as a Dim I either think, John Kerry like trust fund snob, or frat boy taking the easy way to getting laid.

I know, I know, not entirely fair.  Crude and simplistic.  I'm just going by the middle class libtard douchebag suburban males I've known in my life.

Chet is seriously on the ropes here.  First solid challenge ever.

I think he's goin down.

Won't work.    Most people already know the Tea Party is not extreme.    It gets stronger every day.   And many independents, and some democrats are in the movement.    They're grasping at straws.

266 Something about that just creeps me the fuck out. I don't know why. Like those Duggar people. Everything I've heard about them suggest they are decent, loving people and they definitely aren't sponging off of society but still...

It strikes me as being rather odd as well, because all 4 of the women just absolutely loved having kids. I can understand that, but 2 were willing to do so at the expense of their own lives. They're still incredibly decent & sweet people, but having that many kids helped fracture their families.

_{/People did used to have more children up until the Victorian Era, but you also have to factor-in infant mortality rates & not-as-effective birth control.}

I like his daughter, him not withstanding.

She's kind of an idiot. And by 'kind of', I mean total.

80's  darn it you know i type badly. i was spoofing.. about 10 kids, srsly some actually think something like that might happen with gop, it IS assinine and i'm sorry anyone thought i was serious. : {

I have 5 and no man  made me,  well ok made me. but i enjoyed that and the  children that occured by mutual combustion.

fine ,yes ,i have had a glass of wine., 

276 265 250 Won't work. Most people already know the Tea Party is not extreme. It gets stronger every day.   And many independents, and some democrats are in the movement. They're grasping at straws.

What's interesting is that it could work if they pointed-out that the GOP isn't as conservative as the people going to Tea Party rallies, but the Dems would damage themselves if they did that.

No; I think we are often are own worst enemies.

279 The only families I know like that we're one's with very strong marriages (how do you NOT kill each other with ten kids?) and church-going but with greatly vary degrees of devotion/fervency. The wife is invariably one of the strongest, well centered poeple I've met and has a husband unquestionably devoted to her. The term "ole' lady" would result in utter silence and a feeling of dread if you were dumb enough to mention it (I didn't and wouldn't anyway).

I'm also talking WELL above my pay grade here.

That seems to be the case with the ones I've met as well, though not with the 1 couple who tried for 19. But it's true, the characteristics you mention.

At this late date, and considering the extreme BS the dims have pulled over the last 20 months, most people see them as the extreme.   Let 'em try casting the Tea Party as extreme or right wing.    It will just remind people who the extreme idiots really are.   And hell, it also might make people more interested in voting for the Repub.   It's going to take something extreme to root the bastards out.

I suppose being on a panel opposite Hannity makes anyone look better.

I've only seen her on O'Reilley and I just get embarrassed for her. I mean, she's just not bright. Plus, she's always got this shit-eating grin on her face that annoys the hell out of me.

Who are we talking about?

284 "Well-respected" & "known quantity", eh? Who on the Dem side fits that description? Or is he going after an R this time?

289 I'm just hoping turn-out is high this yr. Honestly, I was rather disappointed the last 2 elections, especially considering what we knew.

My goodness, the Enquirer does not like the Obamas doe sit? Still bitter over that Clinton loss.

I like their dig on them living high on the hog. Not sure what that has to do with the Kennedy snub though.

I like it. I like it a lot!

296 Perhaps that's why it's so foreign to me - I was an only child. The thought of 10..let alone 15 siblings is mind boggling and I cannot fathom what it would be like for the parents.

The older siblings often become surrogate parents. I've also heard a few of them complain about not having enough time to spend with their parents, since the parents have to work + pay attention to everyone. How would they manage?

I ain't using them either. When my stockpile of incandescent bulbs run out, I'm going to start rendering liberals down for their tallow, and make candles out of them. At least then the fuckers will be worth something.

Hmm, Andrew Breitbart releases his pre-October surprise? That should keep the Dims on defense and take some of the sting out of whatever is it that they have planned. It's hard to dance on your heels.

Unless it's another financial crash, that is.

I always hate this about this one Palin pg: they have a globe on their site, & it places a dot on your location as soon as the pg loads. You're also able to see other peoples' [locations] as they visit. I know there's a way to do that here, but not on the front pg.

Maybe I'm just feeling paranoid today, though, who knows.

No.  You have the wrong idea.  That's what we did to Ron Paul. 

Apparently Rand has some daddy issues.  Fun times.

ItÂ’s a safe bet her phone didnÂ’t ring too much--not because no one wants to help but because there just arenÂ’t that many Democrats left who see themselves, up through the midterm election anyway, as safe. And itÂ’s not like they can turn to President Barack Obama, whose national approval rating is currently around 40 percent, to bail them outdate

Yes Mindy. Dims like spending other peoples money, but not theirs so much.

334 Holy Shit that's a good article. Here is a meaty excerpt:

It may seem incredible to suggest that the anticolonial ideology of Barack Obama Sr. is espoused by his son, the President of the United States. That is what I am saying. From a very young age and through his formative years, Obama learned to see America as a force for global domination and destruction. He came to view America's military as an instrument of neocolonial occupation. He adopted his father's position that capitalism and free markets are code words for economic plunder. Obama grew to perceive the rich as an oppressive class, a kind of neocolonial power within America. In his worldview, profits are a measure of how effectively you have ripped off the rest of society, and America's power in the world is a measure of how selfishly it consumes the globe's resources and how ruthlessly it bullies and dominates the rest of the planet.

Have you noticed since Crist turned independent/democrat the dems forgot he was Orange?

I just love the thought of the Dim strategists sitting around in a smoke free room, trying to decide how much support they should give Carrot Crist.

Go Meek.  Someone on this thread, or maybe earlier said Meek was a big recipient of big tobacco cash.  Interesting.

Some people eat when they are nervous.

Mike Huckleberry has been looking more frazzled and nervous lately come to think about it.  Hope he's not using lava soap again.

************************************

Then you ought to talk to my next-door neighbors, who harbor similar feelings about the Mormon family with six young kids across the street.

My neighbors consider Mormonism a cult, so they stay clear of the family, which is entirely "normal", with the most delighful bunch of kids one could hope for.

My neighbors don't know the kids' names, let alone interact with them, because of the "cult" thing.

Oh and did I mention that my neighbors are Jewish.  Except that they don't support Israel.

Even though they agree that Jews are "God's Chosen People".

And did I mention they didn't just vote for Obojangles, they lunged at the lever in the voting booth, and election officials had to pry the thing from their hands.

p.s. people used to have very large families because many of the kids would die before they reached five.   Today, people with large famlies who raise their own kids w/o government assistance do so because they love children.

Loving children.  Weird.   Very disturbing.  It would creep anyone out.

My next door neighbors have 7 and home school. They aren't particularly religious either, they just don't like the public school system. Their children are the most polite, loving, smart, kind, kids ever. My little boy has been accepted into this throng as one of them. BTW, the parents have vision problems, don't drive, are biracial and have a very nice income due to dad's entrepeneurism. I don't even know how they vote, or if they do, but they are well informed, thoughtful and intelligent.

If you have the money and don't resent the sacrifices to your lifestyle that many kids entail over the long term, then more power to them. My 3 have been more than enough for me to handle without nearly the grace.

Molon Labe, bitches.

The pressure has to stay on constantly, the work cannot stop, the rallies cannot peter out, and we cannot allow the momentum to end.

Be a good demorat/Obama-ite and demand no incinerations of Korans, however American civilian incinerations are quite acceptable.  Get with it people, you're living in His utopia now !  Now go out and urinate and deficate on some Bibles to prove your openmindedness. Remember, some of you believers knowingly voted for this.

Loving children.  Weird. 

Yeah. That's exactly what I said. I also clearly think Mormonism is a cult. Because your neighbors do. And they don't understand large families either. Not even going to touch the Jewish mention in your post.

But yeah you nailed me. Very perceptive you are. Shocked you aren't in the Holder DoJ.

****************************

Chris,  All the things I said about Mormons, the family, and  my Jewish neighbors were to point out how some people, apparently you included, think normal families with a lot of children are somehow weird.

You implied that large families comprising loving parents and lots of normal kids are somehow creepy. 

If you feel slighted, too frackin' bad.  It's YOU who are the weirdo.

Deal.

(How you can connect me with Holder is a mystery. 

Oh and did I mention that my neighbors are Jewish.  Except that they don't support Israel.

Even though they agree that Jews are "God's Chosen People".

would you clarify,  jews that don't support Israel, and why that is n issue in having many children statement?

or mormons for that matter?

Chris. from what i saw just didn't understand why people like me, choose to have many kids. He acepted at this point in his life He could not understand why not understanding not desiring a family of my size is not saying He thinks everyone is nuts, He just doesn't want , it for himself..and doesn't know why we do.  Not a slight. just knows He is not in the same mind frame.

isn't that ok?

as

long as he is not knocking up women and saying  to bad i don't want this life?

 We shall fight on the landing grounds.

We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills.

We shall never surrender"
