You know that all the talk about a “Blue Wave” have got to be on shakey ground when all you see is a continual story line of “depressed republicans skipping the vote”. Even the Washington Times is getting into the meme:

“The Republican Party can stave off defeat with a strong turnout on Nov. 7, party leaders are telling the faithful — but they are finding it tough to sell that message to some disillusioned conservative voters.

“The message hasn’t gotten across because a lot of people are sick and tired of thinking the only reason for going to the polls is to vote for the Republicans because they are lesser of two evils,” said Tom McClusky, vice president for government affairs at the Family Research Council (FRC), a leading social conservative group.

“Conservatives aren’t motivated to come out, is what I’m finding,” said conservative campaign consultant Rick Shaftan, who is based in Sparta, N.J. “They see no reason to re-elect the people who are in office.”

A top Republican pollster confidentially echoed those sentiments.

“There are very definitely trouble signs in many states of what we call the ‘LRs’ — the lethargic Republicans,” said the pollster, who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity. “They are unhappy with the president and have little love lost for Congress.”

There’s little danger that such voters would switch to the Democrats, but “the real problem is that they won’t vote at all,” the pollster said.”

Pollsters….

Well, you can hold on the Xanax because the fact is that it’s simply not true.

First, screw polls. I live in a BLUE county in South Florida, yet we have a strong GOP movement down here – in the thousands – and NO ONE is talking about not voting. NO ONE. In fact, we are quite fired up about getting out to vote on November 7th.

The reason that you are seeing stories about depressed turnout is that they are designed to depress turnout. Amazing how that works isn’t it. And if see one more story on the nonsensical “evangelical polls” I’m grabbing my M16.

Means squat. Again, I don’t know who the pollsters are polling but it must be to those “sitting on the fence” independents, or (gasp) members of the United Methodists Church, or even Universalists! But it ain’t us ‘died in the wool’ evangelicals. We know what we are voting for, and we know who we cannot let run this country under any reason.

Again, they talk of depressed turnout, but on the ground we’re NOT seeing it.

The fact is as I have been saying, NO ONE knows what is going to happen on election day – NO ONE. Remember polls are done to create news, not to report facts, and the fact is that the GOP turnout will be hugh and THATS they fact they are trying to supress.
