Interesting political e-mail of the day

When I saw the title, I thought it was from a Conservative group; it wasn’t. It was from these guys:

The title?

“Turn off MSNBC”

The e-mail:

Charles,

It’s okay if you’re nervous about Tuesday. I’m nervous, too. The outcome of these races will have major ramifications for working families for years to come.

So here’s my advice: just turn off MSNBC. Stop scrolling through your Facebook feed. It’s easy to want more information in the final days, but obsessing over polls and news cycles isn’t going to make a difference.

Talking to voters will.

Will you sign up to make calls to key voters today?

Yes! I can join a training and make calls today, Saturday at 4 p.m. EDT.

Yes! I can make calls, but at another time.

(When you RSVP, we’ll send you all the details to join.)

We’ve heard from volunteers that they feel extra prepared to hit the phones after trainings from our staff, so we’ve scheduled extra sessions between now and Tuesday.

We’ll talk you through the tool and give you updated messaging information on how to reach the voters who need to hear from you the most—these are voters who might not make it to the polls without an extra nudge, but can swing races our way if they do.

Click here to commit to a training and calls. MSNBC doesn’t need you, but we do.

In Solidarity,

Wow! When the AFL-CIO is telling people to turn off MSNBC, you KNOW something is wrong in hamburger helper land. If you catch my drift. I am thinking that the liberals are already conceding defeat.

I have a really good feeling about this election, I really do. I do believe that the silent majority is going to vote and things are going to change once again; for the good.

If you will allow me to just blather on for a second here; the Democrats have no one to blame, but themselves. They did it to themselves. They chose skin color over real experience. They chose to follow in the footsteps of Carter, instead of Roosevelt. They chose to pursue far-leftist ideology, over pragmatism. They chose to run to the far-left, instead of a moderate Democratic agenda. They chose to attempt to alter the Nation’s healthcare system, instead of trying to fix the economy. They did it backwards; and now, they are paying the price for it.

I said this long ago, that the Democrats would pay and pay dearly for it; and now it is coming to pass. There are consequences to overreach, just like Republican-controlled Congress suffered under Dennis Hastert in 2007. Just like Democrats suffered in 2009, when they lost big. You cannot overreach in politics, when you do, you suffer for it. George H.W. Bush did it, Clinton did it, but managed to stay in office. George W. Bush did it, and John McCain lost.

I am pretty much thinking here, that if Romney wins this election, that the Democrats are going to suffer a huge setback and that the party could very well fall apart. I hope not; I hope that more saner, moderate voices will take that party back and move it more towards the center. I believe in divided Government, and I believe that the Democrat’s future is in moderation, not in extremist policies.

However, because I am a realist, and I know how progressivism works; I happen to know that, once the genie is out of the bottle, there is no putting it back. Let’s just say that the big black genie was let out of the bottle in 2008 and the Democrats are going to have a heck of a time getting him back in that bottle.

Hope requires Faith, and now, I just do not have much Faith in the Democratic Party of today.
