Ignore the Polls: Vote on the Issues

Posted on January 17, 2008

A simple note to true conservatives that believe in the Reagan revolution, especially in South Carolina. There seems to be a trend. Huckabee was a nobody, then he rose up in Iowa and the national polls followed that surge. New Hamphire answered differently, choosing McCain. The national polls followed. The trend of the national polls following the popular choice sends out a terrible message. That message is that too many people are stupid and make their choices on the factor of popularity instead of the issues.

I’m begging everyone to please research each candidate through and through and compare them against what they really believe. If you believe in illegal immigrants getting amnesty then vote for McCain. If you believe that raising taxes is the answer to our problems, then vote for Huckabee. If you are anti-gun, vote for Rudy. If you are for smaller government and lower taxes, vote for Fred Thompson.

Seriously, put all your bias aside, because the future of America is at stake. Look at each and every candidate and study their past. Take a look at all of their records and really think before you vote. Ignore the polls completely. This is about more than popularity and electability. It’s about the core of conservatism.

I’d rather a democrat get power and screw things up a bit, as long as the blame lands back on that liberal ideology, than to have a RINO get power and screw up the name of conservatism any further. Please…think before you vote.

Nice post, but seems you forgot one of the frontrunners. You said:”If you believe in illegal immigrants getting amnesty then vote for McCain. If you believe that raising taxes is the answer to our problems, then vote for Huckabee. If you are anti-gun, vote for Rudy. If you are for smaller government and lower taxes, vote for Fred Thompson.”

I would add to that, if you want decency and competence and freedom from the K-streey lobby, vote Romney. I think Ann Coulter’s column said it better than I can.

I dare you to take a look at what happened to the federal deficit under the spend and borrow policies of the Reagan movement. It more than doubled under his governing ability. His greatest achievement was in foreign policy and he passed the bill for that unto future generation. What is worse is he sold us to a foreign country that now gets advantage from the clout they obtained by holding our loan. The Democrats with their tax and spend philosophy at least keep us free from enslavement to foreign countries. Bush has actually proven somewhat better than Reagan but we are still going further in debt. Fred Thompson wants to increase spending(military) and cut taxes which will increase the deficit more than it is now. That is not being fiscally conservative.

Not to split hairs with you, but Democrats are only too happy to make a mockery of our national security secrets and sold them to China at a discount.

You are correct the Democrats are ready to sell the U.S. out as well. They prefer the U.N.though. I do not know why they like to sell national secrets to foreign countries but it does not give me confidence in them. I also remember the Democrats aided the North Vietnamese to kill American soldiers by banning the bombing of North Vietnam for a time.
