Democrats Poised to Gain a Majority of Governorships
The winds of change are blowing throughout the political spectrum, and it's looking like a similar climate to the Republican takover of 1994. While over at the Zogby site I came across this article:

Re: Democrats Poised to Gain a Majority of Governorships
As a conservative, tell me why I should vote Republican?
To let in millions of more illegals? To possibly let terrorists into the country via the southern border? To spend billions on social programs and drive up the debt? To keep shipping jobs off to communist China? What the eff is up with this? We should be buying goods from countries who are not communist. Mexico comes to mind since it has hard working people, is close, and needs jobs. Eff China... Screw em. I'm glad we are going to lose. We deserve it after the way we've looked the other way as millions of people are waltzing into our country and taking advantage of our un-constitutional federal social programs. We need to purge the party of the rino's and neo-cons and put up new Republicans who will do things such as cutting social spending, protect the border, reduce the federal government, and keep religion out of politics. Drop stupid issues like the flag burning admendment and just work on making the federal government smaller while protecting the border. And if they want to admend the constitution, then get rid of the anchor baby loophole. There is absolutly no reason why we should be taxed to pay for people who illegally entered this country and who are not citizens. And even if they get amnesty, I absolutly still do not think they deserve any of our tax money. If you think they do, then start a federal Higher Optional Tax and voluntarily give out of your own paycheck. Kramer |

Kramer, while talking tough about immigration is a vote getter, ignoring it is a fundraiser, which is why that is the Republican position.
Talk tough, get the conservative votes, ignore it, get the contributions from the people who are getting wealthy off the labor of the illegals.

Re: Democrats Poised to Gain a Majority of Governorships
I will be voting for Eliot Spitzer (D) for governor today. He will be replacing our Republican governor George Pataki, who seems to think he has a shot at the presidency in '08.
After today, New York and the entire Northeast is going to be quite a bit more blue than it already was. |

And as of yesterday Steele was outside the margin for error in the polls, a tight race, poised, but by no means a shoe-in.

Though i'm no fan of what the Republicans have been doing anyone who allows a Democrat to be elected is magnifying the mistakes the Republicans have made. Does anyone actually believe any democrats are for lower taxes, less government, or a strong military? Varus |
