| | | The Sky is Falling, Voters Leaving GOP? | | 2008-08-06 11:04:00 | | WINDS OF CHANGE?Things are changing. Currently the latest polls state that while the GOP has fewer voters than it has had in years, the Dems are also losing numbers. Independents are growing in number. The fascinating numbers are the growth of the Dem brand over a few month period in 2006. If the growth was purely to protest the War, then these numbers may desert the Dems. "...In 2004, the Democrats began the year with a 2.3 percentage point edge over the GOP. That grew to 4.0 points by March before moving in the Republican direction for the ...... | | By: The Pink Flamingo | | |

| | Zombie Voters and Fortune Cookies | | 2008-07-30 17:00:07 | | Who are Barack Obama's supporters? Picture an old 1950s era b&w Zombie movie. The Undead rise from their graves, begin lurching forward, arms outstretched, eyes vacant, all murmuring eerily in unison, "Change, change, change…" Except Obama's Zombies don't rise from graves. They emerge from high schools and colleges and Hollywood soundstages and media centers. Much has been made of Obama's appeal to American youth. His hook is emotion and vague idealism, which works well on people loaded with emotion and vague idealism but little in the way of experience and genuine knowledge. A generation that barely discerns between Bambi and actual rutting deer can't be expected to distinguish charisma from substance.

| NOTE: Hispanics Can Be Voters & Are People Too! | | 2008-07-15 09:24:32 | | DEAL WITH ITJohn McCain understands that immigration reform is top priority. He, like George W. Bush, also understands that Hispanics are human beings. They are voters. They are NO DIFFERENT from anyone else. Unfortunately, there are any number of "conservatives" who are basically racist. The perfect example, this from Glenn Spencer's site:"...McCain tells 'Tan Klan' so-called immigration reform is top priority..." "...Los Angeles Times 'Tan Klan' Soiree: McCain loses microphone to rabid Mexican Reconquista..."Once again the anti-immigration conservatives, spurred on by their talking points delivered by Dan Stein, the "voice" of the John Tanton network ...... | | By: The Pink Flamingo | | |

Subscribe for free to get instant access to our latest videos as soon as they're posted.Presidential Watch: John McCainThe McCain camp appeals to Hispanic voters in its new ad, "God's Children," touting the service of Hispanic in our military. It's a pretty clear plea for support and likely comes in response to a number of recent polls that show Barack Obama dominating among Hispanic voters. The ad, which is also available in Spanish, will air in Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico. Senate Watch: New HampshireThe group People For The American Way is airing a new ad attacking Republican John Sununu for supporting conservative justices like Samuel Alito.

| | | Voters, Trends, and What Could Happen? Introduction | | 2008-06-11 19:03:05 | | DO WE REALLY KNOW?A four part series on a few theories about the coming election are located below. It did not start out that way, but that’s how I’ve posted it. I am throwing in a number of trackbacks in the introduction. Some may belong elsewhere in the article.It is possible we are seeing some major changes in not only the GOP, but the Democratic Party. We could also be seeing changes in the Libertarian and Constitution Parties. Frankly, I don’t think the latter parties have enough members to make a difference, but there are some conservatives who ...... | | By: The Pink Flamingo | | |
| | Voters, Trends, and What Could Happen? Part I | | 2008-06-11 18:52:52 | | OUT OF TOUCH CONSERVATIVESWhat do we really know? Hard line anti-immigration “reform” is a loser for the GOP. Last night Lindsey basically slaughtered hard-line CofCC racist Buddy Witherspoon. There are indications that additional hard-liners went down in SC, but I don’t know enough about the races yet to make a blanket statement. What I do know is it appears (and I say appears) that hard line conservatives in SC in the state house and senate did not fare as well as was expected. This makes the latest Jim DeMint move a little puzzling. He is forming a PAC ...... | | By: The Pink Flamingo | | |
| | Voters, Trends, and What Could Happen? Part II | | 2008-06-11 18:36:39 | | IS OBAMA GETTING RELIGION?We are currently being treated to a barrage of bad news from the religious front. Catholics are mad at John McCain because he was on Ellen's show. Did Big Mac attack Billy Graham? We are made to believe not only is John McCain failing with conservatives and the "base" but he is losing the "Christian" vote to Obama by large measures. Evidently none of this is true. From what I can tell the media thinks "Christians" are stupid and don't mind be taken in by Barack Obama's lovely rhetoric and the hate that spews from his ...... | | By: The Pink Flamingo | | |
| | Voters, Trends, and What Could Happen? Part III | | 2008-06-11 18:17:39 | | GROUPS, MINORITIES, ASSOCIATIONSWe learn that there is a 25% dapproval rating for the Dems in Congress. Their ratings are lower than that of President Bush (I think those polls are a crock). If this is the case, is it possible there could be some Dems who lose their jobs in November and not the other way around? I'm still crunching numbers from SC, but it is possible some of our incumbents could be in trouble, and not all of these going down may be Republicans. If people are in an anti-incumbent mood, those who have marginal seats could be ...... | | By: The Pink Flamingo | | |

Look at the way he is treating John McCain. The Obama campaign is treating today’s episode.ABCNews Blog “…the Obama campaign pounced. On a hastily-arranged Obama campaign conference call Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., Dr. Susan Rice, and former Navy Secretary Richard Danzig, all assailed McCain. Kerry called the remarks "unbelievably out of touch and inconsistent with the needs and concerns of Americans," particularly the families of troops in Iraq.

| | | Arizona Voters to Recall Senator McCain? | | 2008-05-22 14:12:05 | | Most amusing concept ever? Here's a plea to the Arizona voters to Recall John McCain, which would be just down right funny, but... it might also give a phenomenal long shot chance for Dr. Ron Paul to be tapped for the Republican nomination for US President.
The Revolution is heating up and Senator John McCain now finds himself at war with his own party. In particular, the Ron Paul r3volution!
It is my idea to start a recall petition drive against McCain, within his home state of Arizona; as a RINO (republican in name only) McCain cannot, should not, and will not be the standard barer for the Republican Party.
Please Start the Recall Petition process to remove McCain as Arizona's US Senator...

Barry Obama brought race into this nomination process. He has now been caught lying about his "pastor" rather then actually addressing his own judgment in choosing to listen to Wright for 20 years. The media has been complicit in this. Nevertheless Regan Democrats and Jacksonian Democrats have not been fooled. They are voting against him by big margins.

| | Obama Courting Pro-Gun Voters in PA | | 2008-04-08 00:30:40 | | A smart play on his part if he's hoping to close the gap with Clinton.From The Politico:Barack Obama did not hunt or fish as a child. He lives in a big city. And as an Illinois state legislator and a U.S. senator, he consistently backed gun control legislation.But he is nevertheless making a play for pro-gun voters in rural Pennsylvania.By highlighting his background in constitutional law and downplaying his voting record, Obama is engaging in a quiet but targeted drive to win over an important constituency that on the surface might seem hostile to his views.The need to craft a strategy aimed at pro-gun voters underscores the potency of the issue in Pennsylvania, which claims one of the nation’s highest per capita membership rates in the National Rifle Association.It also could provide clues as to whether Obama, as one of the Senate’s more liberal members, can position himself as an acceptable choice to a conservative-minded demographic in later primary contests and in the general ... | | By: Dyre Portents | | |

| | | Analysis: Iowa voters want unity | | 2008-01-06 18:55:45 | | If you want to understand what happened to Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama in Iowa, recall who stood by them on their respective stages Thursday night. For the Republican presidential candidates, the lesson was less obvious, even though former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee slammed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney with a Chuck Norris-like punch. Iowans offered a roadmap for the nomination and general election fights. This election is about change but not just for change's sake, and Iowans seemed primarily interested in authenticity. They courted but ultimately rejected Romney, a relative latecomer to conservative social positions. They took a serious look at Clinton, the senator from New York but put her claims of 35 years as an agent for change behind the fresh hopefulness of Obama, the senator from Illinois, and the anger of former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina. Thursday was a very bad day for one-time front-runners like Clinton and Republican Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who finished behind libertarian Ron Paul. That may be he biggest lesson of all. In Iowa, Obama became the most authentic voice for Democrats unhappy with the country's direction and determined to change it. Obama's call to a common yearning trumped the 2008 models of partisan fighters that Clinton and Edwards had come to represent. "We are choosing unity over division and sending a powerful message that change is coming to America," Obama told cheering supporters in Des Moines. The way he took Iowa — winning among independents and women, according to exit polls — predicts strong showings in the next big tests, starting in New Hampshire on Tuesday. There, his appeal to independents could significantly help him in a race where independents make up four of 10 voters. "We had a message from the start that resonated with independents," Obama's Iowa field strategist Steve Hildebrand told me. ... | | By: PhreQuency Ent. | | |
| | Obama Can't Win Because American Voters Are All, Racist? | | 2008-01-03 12:26:00 | | Okay, I have my own reasons for not supporting Obama, and those reasons have to do with the direction he wants to take America. It has absolutely nothing to do with race. To be honest, I'm not even sure what race Obama would genuinely be classified into in the first place. Is he actually considered "black?" Or, since he grew up in the Indonesian area, would he be more so considered some sort of South Pacific Islander?How exactly can I be racist, if I really don't know what he is? That's kind of like being told you hate all pink colored ice cream, without being told what flavors they are. It's just asinine to make such a statement.But that train of thought being totally devoid of intelligence, hasn't prevented Chris Cuomo of Good Morning America, from making such a comparison.... TWICE so far. In fact, since mid November alone, GMA has, in some form or another brought racism up in the elections five times. Talk about being starved for viewers, it takes some serious idiocy to try and use race as a scandal in elections.Cuomo's dialogue with Obama, as transcripted on the MRC page; "What do you think the bigger obstacle is for you in becoming President, the Clinton campaign machine or America's inherent racists, racism?" C'mon Chris, your supposed to be a professional journalist, not some grocery checkout 'hack'.Not that Diane Sawyer is any better at the task. She seems to be bear hugging the racism branch as well; she asked Obama if America is "secretly...more racist or more sexist?" And even repeated the same question to liberal New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd.Racism. I'll start being concerned with the race issue, when it ACTUALLY becomes an issue, like racists actually doing things to people. When people are carving upside down crosses on their own doors, hanging nooses on thier own office door knobs, smacking police with cell phones in Government buildings, and crying over "reparations" and supposedly deserved apologies, there is NO sympathy to be h... | | By: Hoopy Frood Dude | | |
| | Giuliani Sells Out to Values Voters? | | 2007-10-25 05:26:56 | | I missed this but fortunately Sideways Mencken didn't.From The Hill: Perkins: Giuliani supports marriage amendmentTony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council, told The Hill Saturday that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) would support a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.Perkins said Giuliani told him in a private meeting that if the Defense of Marriage Act appeared to be failing or if multiple states began to legalize same-sex marriages, then he would support the constitutional amendment. Giuliani did not mention the amendment or the issue of gay marriage during his address to the Values Voters Summit, but that position could win him favor with some social conservatives who view the former mayor warily. Perkins said that was not enough to assuage his concerns about Giuliani, but “it was nice to hear.”If what Perkins said is true this may be the first step in Giuliani selling out to reap the religious rights votes and that says a lot about Giuliani. He'd do well to remember how much flack Mitt Romney has taken over his changing stances on value based issues.

| | Ron Paul Number One in Donations from Military Voters | | 2007-10-18 23:29:00 | | with Barack Obama coming in at number two.From the Houston ChroniclePaul leads in donations from military voters, with Obama nextWASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, the congressman from the Houston area who opposes the Iraq war, has gotten more contributions than any other White House contender from donors identified as affiliated with the military. According to a Houston Chronicle analysis of campaign records from January through September, Paul received $63,440 in donations from current military employees and several retired military personnel. Democrat Barack Obama, another war critic, was second in military giving. The Illinois senator got $53,968 during the nine months....The military contributions — nearly 1,000 of them are listed in Federal Election Commission records for this year — represent a small fraction of the overall contributions to the candidates....Nevertheless, analysts said the ability of Paul and Obama to rake in as much money from military employees as they did suggests there is a certain degree of dissatisfaction with the Iraq campaign among veterans and those in uniform....Jennifer Duffy, an analyst with the non-partisan Cook Political Report, speculated that Paul might be an attractive candidate for military personnel who oppose the war, "but don't want to cross the line and vote for a Democrat."Interesting. I see this as a sign that some in the military find alternate ways of voicing their dissatisfaction for the current way the war is being run than directly speaking out. The real question is what's going to happen should they come home from their tours and start stumping for Paul and Obama? Thats certainly not a picture that either Clinton or Giulliani want to see.h/t to Memeorandum

| | | Are Voters Irrational: An Interview With Economist Bryan Caplan | | 2007-10-15 00:38:43 | | The topic below was originally posted in my blog, the Intrepid Liberal Journal as well as The Peace Tree, the Independent Bloggers Alliance and Worldwide Sawdust.People across the political spectrum routinely question the senses, intelligence and values of their fellow voters. A decade ago conservatives chafed, as President Bill Clinton remained popular in spite of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. In recent years liberals like myself seethed while Republicans maintained one-party dominance in spite of their incompetence and criminal policies. They’re also citizens who challenge the wisdom of any voter who supports the two-party duopoly.Bryan Caplan, an economist at George Mason University and co-editor of EconLog challenges the rationality of voters with his book, The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies (Princeton University Press). Caplan, a libertarian, contends that democracies fail because of voters themselves rather than favorite scapegoats such as specia... | | By: The Peace Tree | | |
| | California Democrats Ignore Popular Will, Push Gay Marriage On Voters Who Rejected It . . . | | 2007-09-11 02:55:29 | | For the second time now, against the popular will of the people, The California Legislature has passed a law authorizing gay marriage. Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed the bill earlier and is expected to do the same.The LA Times of course treats this as a total non issue as they buried it in a story about sentencing guidelines:With federal judges pondering a cap on California’s prison population, a measure that experts say could ease overcrowding fell to defeat Friday in the Legislature. But lawmakers voted to legalize gay marriage by passing a bill that is almost certainly headed for a veto.The story also ignores that the statute is illegal if it purports to change the law without submitting the issue to the consent of the voters of the state.What this means is that the California State Legislature knowingly passed a law that undermines popular will and its state's own laws. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this is how a Democrat controlled legislature operates. They only belie... | | By: Copious Dissent - Your Daily Dose of Liberty | | |

| | The media is focused on mind control to sway voters | | 2007-05-08 05:35:33 | | A member of Bush’s inner circle, Karen Hughes, making excuses for a CNN producer hired for a tax paid post on a State Department sponsored Arab TV station, tilting to terrorists in their programming, interviewing them and letting them spew their dogma and propaganda - what gives?!?! There is no excuse for such behavior. Boy, how wrong I was in my previous opinion of her. Makes you wonder about Condoleezza Rice and the State Department.
Got this to say about Hillary and her run for the Presidency - note her recent flip-flop, now saying “we have to be out of Iraq by October.” What would her offensive actions be if we were hit by terrorists? The same as her husband’s were. I think we can safely assume what her actions would be by her history of accepting her husband’s raping other women, committing sexual harassment against others - and she blamed her husband’s acts on a vast right-wing conspiracy. Should she be President, and a threat to our cou... | | By: Forgot To Ask | | |
