It's time for people to vote their conscience...

All this talk about Christine O'Donnell not being electable is making me tired.  The elitist snobs in the Republican party wanted the people of Delaware to nominate the RINO incumbent Mike Castle because they would have you believe Ms. O'Donnell doesn't have a prayer of winning the election.  Well, so be it!  


Like Matthew Archbold said in Ignore Your Conscience and Vote? 
We’re being told to ignore our conscience during the primaries and choose candidates who we’re told can [win] in the general election. But why the heck shouldn’t I vote my conscience in a primary? If a majority of Republicans vote for a candidate they don’t really like what you’ll likely get is a candidate that nobody likes. read the rest
 While having a discussion with my pastor about this yesterday he echoed Matt's words almost exactly.  And like Matt, I'm not playing games anymore.  It appears lots of other people agree with me.

Patrick Archbold sums it up nicely in  The Rise Of The True Believer
What is one to make of all the hubbub this Republican primary season?  Most of the talk has centered around the tea party, Sarah Palin, Republicans in name only (RINOs), and the reaction of the Republican establishment.  Well, there is much to talk about.
The Republican establishment has clearly been shocked by the rapid ascension and influence of the tea-party and more general tea-party sentiment during the primary season.  And rank and file conservatives new to the political process have been shocked at the unfriendly welcome they have received in Republican circles. read the rest
 Those Archbold brothers are fired up and ready to fight!

I saw a poll this morning where she's only 10 points behind Coons. Not bad for a person who's sure to be beat.

Karl Rove saying it took her 20 years to pay off her student loan makes her shady is enough to boil the blood of every American with a student loan. And there's a heck of a lot of them out there paying on those things forever.

If there was any doubt in your mind where the RINO establishment's loyalties are, they're being very brash about who they really support. For the first time in a long time, a second political party is challenging them. They've got to be calculating how they can absorb all these new idealistic people and get their "minds right" before they start voting.
