...but, NOT this cycle!

Elections are about choices, and this cycle the choice is simple - you are eiher smart enough to vote "D" or you are a "T" - "traitor"!

For forty years we've listened to the lies from the Republican party - and the Republicans have brought the world to brink of environmental destruction, they've destroyed generations of good will and trust internationally, and they have idiotically played right into the hands of the terrorists who told us they intended to bankrupt the U.S. much as the U.S. bankrupted the Soviet Union - how bad do things have to get to vote the radical, right-wing, neo-con, nutcase Republicans out of office and into the political desert for forty years?

It is our duty to register and vote smart - and help GOTV (Get Out The Vote) - so, if you're not talking to your friends, family and neighbors about politics - then, you are part of the problem and part of how and why we got into this desperate mess!

This is a historical year - and it is a chance for everyone who has been sitting on their tails, to put down the remote control, get up, get out the door and vounteer! We need lots of people to get on the telephone, walk YOUR neighborhood, ward, precinct, State Assembly and Senate District and Congressional District - it's time to do YOUR duty and get in the fight!

Democracy is not a spectator sport - and it isn't American Idol!

Get Out The Vote!

If we can combat the ignorance of posters like Sam, who STILL believe Senator Obama is a Muslim despite clear evidence to the contrary, we may have a chance to repair these issues and provide a better country for ourselves and our posterity. As a former Republican, I am ashamed we ended up in this position. I urge others like me to switch their party and start working for the changes we so desperately need. Barack Obama has and will continue to involve the American people in his platform. How can any American not approve of having the voice in our government that our founding fathers meant for us to have?

I want, I want but I think others should work hard then be given a hard work tax which would pay for my own lack of drive to do anything for my self. This is the american way. Only problem is figuring out which candidate will give me all of the above.

Remember four years ago in Ohio? People leaving the polls said they voted for Kerry by about 55% - 45%. If you'll recall, Bush carried the state.

What people are saying now doesn't mean anything. What they do in November is all that matters. I'm betting that people actually vote for the old, safe white guy.

James wrote on July 08, 2008 01:34 PM: The GOP got hammered in the '06 elections, losing twenty-nine(29) House seats while Dems lost exactly zero(0). Plus the GOP lost five(5) Senate seats.

But guess what? Those were the good ol' days for Republicans. This time around we'll put a knife through the heart of those losers and send them into the political wilderness for forty years.

That's what happens when the voter get pissed. America has had enough of do-nothing empty suits ruining our government. We're throwin' the bums out!

how this man and his two cronies, the "honorable" captain nemo kennedy and the insect pelosi must despise legal american citizen/taxpayer/energy consumers.

and by now, state officials would have contrived a method of levying some toll on yucca mountain deposits. instead, again, the "progressives" would propel americans into a third world economy.

as to federal expenditures, one might notice that the vastly greatest percentage is spent on federal giveaway programs. the "progressives" have continually promised to add more such programs. that hapless harry reid and his handlers would bless the tens of millions of infiltrators/saboteurs/parasites, granting them free access to legal taxpayer funded programs, proves his hatred for legal citizens.

we have enough politcial enemies worldwide who hate this country because of it's liberal agenda. do we need to pay one to be a senator ?

We should all be independents.

Zeke wrote on July 08, 2008 12:28 PM: The GOP is in big trouble. Nationally and especially here in Nevada.
The dem numbers have grown EVERY month since the Caucus and now stand +6% Dem.
More importantly, non partisans are MUCH more likely to vote for Obama, and since THEY are the ones that decide nearly every election in the US, this game is very lopsided.

Add on the fact that McCain is horribly uncharismatic and isn't even CLOSE to being Wingnut-enough to gain the money and support of the GOP Nevada base.

Furthermore there is NO McCain presence in Washoe County. None. No Grassroots. No nothing.
Obama has a dozen people ion the groud RIGHT NOW and has events nearly everyday. It is really overkill if ya ask me.

If you think McCain really ha a chance, you are not paying attention. At All.
