If they disagree with you or do not sing your praises, just kick them off the plane. If they have a differing opinion than you, put a restraint on them. I suppose the Obamanites just figure that resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Kind of like your cyber-pals on too conservative...
anonymous...and I do mean "anonymous"...
If you have half of a brain left. you could look at TC and see that even Vincent is leaning far away from my point of view. Add Blackout to that (he's ALL for the guy that will shut down every bastion of free speech.) There's plenty of other views expressed there. You just need to read more and type less.
Posse anyone? The views on TC are very much the same where ignornace outwieghs intelligence/reality in most posts. All of you were in concert to vote out the Gang of 5 / 5 Most Unwanted, I guess they didn't do what YOU wanted them to do. So much for your big tent theory.
The big tent is alive and well in the LCRC. The campaign ran like a fine-tuned engine in Loudoun.It was the picture of a hive of worker bees all knowing exactly what they had to do.
But the leak in the National boat was too big in the end. The press, the 3 to 1 spending of money (much of the other guys being foreign and untraceable)and the economy blowup on Bush's watch did NOTHING to help what , in any other year, would have been a much envied rollout by the LCRC.
I'll be back to help in the next contest, because I just like to be around these folks. Their enthusiasm and their dedication is infectious.
Will you be there? Or will you be the critic who never got his hands dirty?
I am there in the thick of things and worked the polls for McCain all day. I am on your side, but am very tolerant of other people's views (moderate or conservative)and do not see R's winning in Loudoun anytime soon. I witnessed the change to blue in Fairfax and am fearful Loudoun has been lost as well...
I am here to provide constructive feedback, nothing more or less. I disagree slightly in one area where I was disappointed in the R volunteer efforts - nothing against the LCRC, I am sure they did all they could, but the energy and people were missing from elections past. (maybe b/c Bush etc. that you point out)
As a lifelong Virginian I am saddened to see Loudoun go blue --I will make sure to stop by and say hello next time I see you....
First of all, THANK YOU for your work at those polls. I truly appreciate EVERYONE who gave of their time and energy. It truly gives you the right to offer feedback, and I and the team would be fools if we didn't at least listen and consider it. We do, after all, want to tighten and tweak our ground game to optimum potency.
But, alas, I disagree with your logic.
It isn't the fact that the players are Republicans or Democrats. It's their records. The secret that most don't understand is candidate selection. (need I really bring up Gilmore here to make a point?)
That's the number one issue, and the hardest part to get right....because done properly, EVERYTHING falls into place after that. Candidate support can be a breeze when you're selling desirable goods...and the mother of all evils when you aren't.
So Loudoun can still go Red, we just have to package the product differently, so that it appeals even to the right of center and independents.
In my analysis, the recent election was decided by people of color and youth coming out in ways we've not seen in my 28 years in this game. This created a tidal wave that hit the wall we built for a much smaller storm. In a local election, the wave would be much, much smaller, and that wall would have held.
I helped load out the Sterling office today, and was left to admire the massive amount of data that we retrieved from Republicans across the County.
If we tap that in years to come, update it often, and recruit new people over the years to that active roll of volunteers, our ground game will already be stronger, because we won't have to mine for that info (like we did this year).
The other national effect is Bush... only in reverse. People will get tired of the way the Dems are doing it, and they'll bounce back to the Republicans. Seen it happen too many times. What I hope is that the Country isn't so far in the crapper that we can't revive it.
Like you, I am a lifelong Virginian, and one side of my cousins have been here since the 1820s (outside of Paris),and my side settled in what was then Rappahannock (below Richmond at the time)in the late 1600s.
As two natives (?)I'd be honored to have a brew with you.
