I urge conservatives to sit this run off election out. At least 6 months from now when Saxby is once again holding a press conference with his latest Gang of Whatever from the Dems like he has done in the past you can fairly criticize him.

By your handle I’m going to assume you’re military or were previously. If I’m correct, please consider our rifle range metaphor while you’re considering your options down there.

The obviously irreversible damage to the country that could be done by a filibuster proof liberal Senate is the 50 meter target. Electing real Conservative candidates is important, but that target doesn’t pop up until you get out to about 250 meters.

You help no one but the Democrats. Just saying.

Exactly. Sometimes I just can’t find the outrage to get mad at a person saying something that is
a) arguably true, and
b) probably irrelevant.

Why not just say, Martin wants to raise taxes on everyone because he’s a Democrat?

Oh wait, because Republicans aren’t taken seriously on the economy because we wrecked our brand.

Dang, I hate to agree with a Democrat.

I live in Georgia and we just got our absentee request forms. What the heck is Sonny Perdue thinking??? The dems are the only ones he is helping on this one!! All the old folks and Obama voters would be the only dems here now and they are the ones who can’t or won’t go to the polls!

Typical of all Republicans. They don’t understand the rules of the game. They bring slingshot to gun fights while the Dems bring AK-47s.

Don’t forget, the poor also have: A Big Plasma Screen TV, at least 4 maxed out credit cards, lots of bling bling, a mortgage they cannot afford [that The One [we] will pay for, wink wink] and a obesity problem.

Well, that settles it then. I don’t have any of those. No cell phone, only one (ancient, 20″) TV, no cable/satellite, one (paid off) cc, a modest mortgage (taxes now a larger percent of the payment than the mortgage itself), and the only “bling” I’m wearing is a single gold wedding band. Guess that makes us rich, huh? In which case, we can expect our taxes to rise to “spread our wealth” around to all those poor folks, auto companies, and banks.

So how is this different from the right’s “elitism is a state of mind” argument (used recently by you-know-who)? Is that “incoherent” as philosophy, “dumb” as policy too?

Do we really need any more proof that liberals suck at analogies?

Why does every one of “America’s Poor” have a damn cell phone?

Inebriation is a State of Mind.

Middle Class is the New [Rich]

have a question. Why does every one of “America’s Poor” have a damn cell phone?
According to the liberal, Obamaites, my husband and I are filthy, stinking, you don’t deserve your money regardless of how hard you work, rich and I don’t have a cell phone…….
My state of mind wants to be “poor” so I can text away all day while playing my PSP.

HornetSting on November 14, 2008 at 8:30 PM

Amen

Martin is a bafoon. Saxby is an arrogant jerk.

What do I do? I’ve promised myself NEVER to vote for Saxby… Do I go back on my promise to myself, or do I sit back with a bag of popcorn. Truly an agonizing decision for me.

Maybe one my kids can fill out the absentee voter info, then ‘technically’ I didn’t vote for Saxby.

Why couldn’t a real conservative kicked Saxby to the curb during the primaries!!? Now we get to put up with this junk for a few more weeks – lucky us!

gatorboy on November 14, 2008 at 8:21 PM

Let’s see. Give the democrats yet another seat. Hum, really hard choice. I took a shot of Jaegar and plugged my nose up to vote for the Gluehorse McCain. You can do the same. Do it for your friends at hotair, gaterboy.

Methinks our side over-uses the “gotcha!” technique a little.

How about, Martin’s economic policies suck, his values are way out of the Georgia mainstream, and if he wins, Democrats will have unlimited power to do what they want?

If I were NRSC director, that’d be the only message I would run for the whole campaign. Period.

Jim Martin’s definition of Middle Class: One who aspires to someday live in a double-wide.

innominatus on November 14, 2008 at 8:18 PM

Hey, don’t knock it. Grew up in one in a little Texas town. Still go home to this day and feel like the princess of my parent’s double-wide.

So America’s “poor” are much better off than the “middle class”? Is being “middle classed” really just a state of mind?

Look at the cities they run from top to bottom.
Chicago,New York,Washington DC,LA,Detroit,Cleveland,San Francisco.

They either have no middle class left there or they are trying to get out.

It is the elitist rich and then the welfare class to cook,clean,and wash their cars.

With the amount of people coming to North Carolina from NY,you would think it had turned into Cuba up there.

High crime,terrible schools,high taxes have made it impossible for these people to live there,even when a lot of them are working two jobs.

The only way you can find middle class in these places very
soon will be from memory only.

The main thing I tell them is not to vote in the same type of liberal idiots here that screwed up the state you are running from.

North Carolina went blue so I guess they just don’t get it.
