Do the republicons think they are winning because..

they know they have made many people homeless,so they believe there are not as many Dems in certain areas with people moving to certain parts of the country. Could they think they are winning because of this:

Republican Gov. Rick Perry is really running a nice show down in Texas. First the warehouse housing all Harris County (Houston's) voting equipment burned up in a suspicious fire, and now thugs are harassing voters at minority early-voting precincts. Of course, the fire caused a shortage of machines because they couldn't borrow or gain delivery of enough new ones to replace all the ones that were lost in time for election day. Thus, officials are stressing the importance of early voting. I don't think this skulduggery is going to work:

Voters came out in droves on Monday, Oct. 18, the first day of early voting for the 2010 elections. The Kingwood Branch Library and Octavia Fields Branch Library (in Humble) in particular had continuous 15 to 20 minute wait-times just to get in to vote.

Early voting has been urged due to the late-August fire that destroyed voting machines in Harris County.

Judge Lynn Bradshaw-Hull, running for the 280th district court, was pleased with the turnout.

“I’m not surprised at this turnout,” she said. “It’s contagious how excited people are about the early voting.”

Christy Whittington, head librarian at Kingwood Library, said it was proof of the democratic process at work, and that it was really nice to see such a good turnout.

Diane Trautman, who is running for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector, was impressed.

“I’m thrilled to see so many voters out,” she said. “I think the voters are taking their choices very seriously, and I hope to see the same level of turnout and participation throughout the early vote process.”

...

In all, 26,051 ballots were cast in Harris County on day one of early voting; the Kingwood Library alone had 1,332 votes cast.

3. The GOP Is Locked in Its Own Echo Chamber

the one with the fun house mirrors.

Reality is an alien concept--maybe visited once every 4 years.

4. I knew..

rick perry was going to try something. I believe that a lot of these southern states are doing the same I have never trusted say,Big ass governor in Missisippi..Haley Barbour

I really don't believe that a majority of the country believes the republiCON lies

5. I think we need to find homeless Dems and give them temporary address at least for the next election

That is a serious issue but if we can get them registered to a certain address and have them there on election day we'll have fightingchance it's their only hope back.

6. It's

worth noting the infotainment we consume has been reduced to being owned by about six large corporations since 1983.

There are a good deal of GOP operatives out seeking to demoralize Democrats in order to depress our voter turn out.

No matter what you hear between now and Nov 2, get off your butt and vote. It's largely the only real power you have.

We need to keep as many crony capitalists out of office as possible, and remove the ones who have been corrupted to be so.

Overwhelmingly those sorts number among the GOP. So if we can't get them out of office right now at least keep them in the minority.
