Too many food stampers are on the voting rolls and will be bussed to the polls in November for us too win. Acorn is hard at work as I type. So sad as I grew up here, fought for this once great country and now I watch it goes down the drain.

I have no doubt you're right, but this isn't "news." They did the same thing last time. Still, people are waking up. I can feel it. More and more I see energized republicans and conservatives. I think the conservative base is much more fired up this time around than the last time.

I am less worried about Acorn's tactics than I am about the lawsuits that are sure to follow a negative outcome for the Obama campaign. If it is close, you can count on the democrats suing and then tampering with the vote. This is what they did in Minnesota in the senate campaign won by Al Franken. He lost. They sued. Enough "undiscovered" votes were found to give him an advantage of a little over 200 votes. A subsequent independent investigation discovered that 1099 felons—all democrats—had illegally voted in the election. Had they been caught and punished and the vote recounted, Sen. Norm Coleman would have retained his seat by over 800 votes.

Votes DO matter. When it gets down to where a few hundred votes determine the presidency (Bush in 2000 for instance), it drives me crazy to know that there is a small percentage of self-identified conservatives, who would be statistically irrelevant in normal times, who enjoy and relish their role of saboteurs against the republican party. They tear down instead of building up. Makes me crazy.

Seriously though, once he is gone, I hope I never have to hear his name again (or whatever his REAL name is......).

We MUST take the White House AND the Senate. It is the only way we can immediately start reversing this last 4 years of idiocy.

My guess is that he sees himself as a future Secretary General of the United Nations, and he's prepared to lie and cheat his way into that office with the same vigor he applied to obtain the presidency.

As to taking the Senate, yes, I hope we gain a majority in both houses, but I say that with serious reservations. Part of the reason we find ourselves at this juncture is because we had a republican majority in both houses before, but they didn't live up to the republican platform ideals of fiscal and personal rectitude, and they treated the Senate like it was their little social club, and their office like it was an entitlement. They forget whom they represent. Each one of them sees him or herself as some kind of elder statesman, "co-presidents" if you will, when in truth, most of them are venal political hacks and opportunists. Don't believe me? I give you Harry Reid.....the voice of the Senate. THEY, the Senate, elected him to his exalted position. When a dried up, bow-legged, black-hearted, low-down, up-jumped, cross-grained, yellow-bellied mouse-dropping of a cock-eyed tinker's soul like Harry Reid gets elected to Senate Majority Leader, there is something seriously wrong with the institution; and the only way to make sure that it improves is not just to fill those slots with republicans, but to fill them with Tea-Party conservative republicans.

Here is a quote from one of the Founders about the dangers of the Senate:

"Those gentlemen, who will be elected senators, will fix themselves in the federal town, and become citizens of that town more than of your state." --George Mason, speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788

He's pathetic.
