On Nov 2, focus on voting out - this may mean that the best candidate for the future is not the best candidate for right now.

I assure you, there is no one who wants a more down to earth, fiscally responsible government than me. And I know that continuing to elect lifelong politicians and whomever the Rep (or Dem) Party is funding is never going to get us where people like me want to ultimately get. However the ONLY way, right now, to stop the government takeover of almost every aspect of our lives, is to elect the most responsible Republicans available. This just simply isn't the time to be making sure we buy the car we want to pass down to our kids - this is the time to buy the car that can get us out of the ditch. This is a "voting out" election, and the goal should be just that. And to vote out these power hungry, out of touch, democrats who have sheepishly gone along with every single one of Obama's socialist, big government ideas (and now are running from his name as fast as they can) we have to avoid the temptation to overgrab, but instead be sensible and vote for the candidates who can win and get us through the next 2 years. Then we can talk about how to ice the cake.
 
In 42 days, you just have to decide what is more important: laying your head on your pillow on Nov 2 knowing you voted for the candidate who most closely reflects your values, or waking up on Nov 3 knowing that the Democrats no longer hold a majority in Congress.

Honestly, there is no wrong answer, and I could never blame anyone for choosing the former. But this time, this election, my goal is to see that the sign on the door of the Speaker of the House no longer says "Pelosi", and the sign on the door of the Senate Majority Leader no longer says "Reid".

Because that will mean that Obama can no longer use our Congress to execute the largest transfer of power from the American people to the federal government in the history of our nation, and we can begin to take back our country.
 

I assure you that if democrats control Congress for the next 2 years, you will long for things to be as good as they are right now. I cannot imagine what will happen with Obama serving out what will be, most likely, his last 2 years, with a democrat majority Congress - what you have seen in the past year will pale in comparison. Again, I respectfully encourage voting to end the democrat majority and therefore making Obama's final 2 years somewhat of a stalemate. Then in 2012, I will be at the front of the line in the movement to return our nation to what made her strong - government of the people, for the people, by the people.
