Why Not Vote For The Republican?

The Democrats are in for a good thumping in November and they know it. Right now they are trying their best at damage control but there are only so many fingers to plug the holes in the dike. Many of them are running from their records and pretending they did not support the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda. Many hardly mention their “achievements” if at all and there are some who are proudly touting that they voted against their leaders. Some are the so called Blue Dogs but most are those who Pelosi allowed to vote against the agenda in order to pander to the folks back home.

Democrat Representative Jim Marshall of Georgia’s 8th Congressional District has an ad out in which a narrator proudly proclaims that Marshall voted with the GOP 65% of the time. Marshall wants the people of his district to vote for him because he votes more with the GOP than with his own party. Depending on how it is measured he actually voted with his party about 88% of the time but let’s go with his numbers.

If he is proud to have voted with the GOP 65% of the time (and therefore with his party only 35% of the time) and this is a reason to put him back in office then why not just vote for the Republican in the race?

The Republican will more than likely vote with the GOP in the 90% range so if 65% is a good thing and warrants reelection then more than 65% would mean the other guy deserves to be elected even more.

The Republican opponent, Austin Scott, is a business man who understands the economy and the business environment so why not vote for him?

He will give the folks of Georgia, and the rest of the country, a far better effort than 65% on conservative issues.

Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

    If you can’t vote for the one who will HELP the most, vote for the one who will do the LEAST damage.
    But to not vote is a copout.
    Someone will occupy the office anyway.
