The Swing Vote Won't
I simply don't see a Republican wipe out. There's simply no reason for it. You've got two parties. One party, the Democrats, doesn't like the other, the Republicans, and the Main Stream Media doesn't like them either, and so that seems the entire reason that the Democrats will win. They talk to each other, they're very loud, they believe each other, and so they're convinced they're going to win and meanwhile everybody else just sits and watches.
You have one party that has done something, let's just say it was only the border fence and denying amnesty. Let's say that's all they've done. To my mind that's enough. The other party has done nothing but bray and bitch. I don't think that leaves any option. There's only one party that has earned a vote and that's the Republican.
I ignore all other matters: judges, taxes, security, prisoner interrogation, the war, the economy, low gas prices. There is only one party that has attempted action, and one party that has done nothing but bitch.
There certainly is a difference in tone between these two parties, and I think that's something Republicans can recognize, and it's only Republicans who interest me because if they vote they will maintain incumbency and for this election that's all that's needed. And I can see no reason why Republicans should be disappointed with their party.
They certainly can be disappointed with all the braying and bitching and bashing. All that bitching would make anyone sour. But still, there's one party trying to do something, and one party that's just an unpleasant mouth, and I just don't think a mouth is much of a platform, so there's not much reason for Democrats to vote and good reasons for Republicans.
This is what I see as the dynamism of bitching: it depresses people. Depressed people don't bother to vote, they tune the whole thing out, they close their ears, they don't want to hear, don't want to be bothered. The people who are depressed by all this bitching don't pay much attention anyway. They say: "Damn Republicans", and turn on the ball game. There will be no swing vote in this election. Those people will stay home. The Democrats have gained the swing voter in the polls, they'll lose them at the poll. The swing voter won't vote. But the base will vote. They're peeved.
So Democrats have destroyed the middle vote, the marginal vote, the swing vote. This will be an election between the base on either side. There are more good Americans than good Democrats. Advantage Republicans. This is especially true as in this election, as I've said, it's enough just to maintain incumbency. And yet the Democrats think they're gong to win...? --I should write about the beautiful girl...
