Early voting is said to be tremendous, and it is said that a lot of that is tilting Republican, which is said to be unusual. I hope all these sayings are true. It is obvious that millions are horrified at what Joe Biden and the Democrats have done to the country in the past two years, and if there is any justice in this universe, the Democrats will be justifiably slaughtered come Tuesday. However, it also appears to be true that millions have been asleep for the last two years (60?) and haven\u2019t woken up yet. If they have, then the country is in bigger trouble than I thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Polls in many key races are tight. But we are told not to trust the polls because they are mostly conducted by Democrats who deliberately plot to undercount Republican support to \u201cdiscourage\u201d GOP faithful from voting. But, it seems to me, a close poll would be more of an incentive to vote\u2014\u201chey, we\u2019re close, let\u2019s get out there and put our guy (gal) over the top.\u201d If the pollsters wanted to destroy morale, they\u2019d have the Democratic candidate up by ten points and then make their excuses after the election if they were wrong. Nobody is going to remember, or care, ten years from now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I\u2019m also told that Republican people often, um, don\u2019t tell poll-takers their true feelings (a nice way of saying they are lying). Maybe that\u2019s true. I\u2019ve never been called by a poll taker (I guess long-distance charges to China or Thailand are too expensive), but if I were, I\u2019d tell them the truth. \u201cI\u2019m going to vote Republican like every other intelligent American, you twit, and you better mark that down.\u201d Whether he\/she\/it does or not, I would never know anyway. But I don\u2019t know why I would lie about it. The poll taker can\u2019t do anything to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All of that rambling I\u2019ve just done is to say, one last time, that I DO think the Republicans will win both Houses of Congress this year. I hope by a lot. But I don\u2019t know, nobody knows, and it may be a while before anybody does know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I do know, as I have repeated, ad nauseum, in my posts, that Democrats are utterly untrustworthy, even to a negative degree. When you have no moral values, and all you care about is power and control of other people\u2019s lives through the use of government, then you will do anything, fair or foul, to gain, and then keep that power. Anything. That\u2019s all you live for. Did anybody pay attention to what happened in China two weeks ago? How can you trust somebody like that? As James Madison once said, \u201cThe truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.\u201d That goes double for Democrats. And Madison WAS one (an early version).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When Joe Biden says, \u201cIt may take a few days for some of the races to be decided,\u201c what I hear is, \u201cIt may take a few days for us to scrape together enough votes of dead people and count enough ballots twice to win.\u201d I hear the oft-repeated clich\u00e9, \u201cevery vote counts!\u201d That is not my worry. What concerns me is, will every vote be counted, and how many votes will be counted more than once. In how many different places?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And will Mitch McConnell care?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That is a rhetorical question, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I\u2019m not sure that most Republicans in the office know who their enemy is. Or that they even have one. When your enemy is trying to destroy you\u2014and make no mistake, that is EXACTLY what the Democrats are trying to do\u2014if you are a nice person, you can initially try diplomacy and\/or compromise. When that doesn\u2019t work, and it won\u2019t work with Democrats, then you must defend yourself and attack in every civilized manner possible. But the first thing to do is realize what is happening and what the other guy is attempting to do. The Democratic Party is trying to obliterate America as we have known it. The Republicans had better realize that and do something about it. For there to be Republicans to do that, the people must vote them into office. Democratically. That is something else the Democrats are trying to destroy. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So, my last message before the midterms is: go vote. Every vote counts. And will hopefully be counted fairly. Hopefully. But don\u2019t count on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>Christmas is coming!
