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!

Eleanor Holmes Norton - not as clever as she thinks...

From Big Government:  Shock Audio: Facing "Obligations" From Leadership, Democratic Congresswoman Leaves Voicemail for Lobbyist Cash

After reading Ms. Holmes Norton's creds nothing she does surprises me...
First elected to Congress in 1990, she took her law degree from Yale University and clerked for U.S. District Court Judge Leon Higginbotham before working as an assistant legal director at the ACLU, law professor at NYU, Chairman of the NYC Human Rights Commission, and Chairman of the EEOC. She is a tenured law professor at Georgetown University and serves on the boards of three Fortune 500 companies.

And Karl Rove dumps on Christine O'Donnell?
