Todd Tiahrt and Me (#RealDeal)

For the sake of transparency, I wanted to let my readers know that I’m now volunteering with the Todd Tiahrt for Senate campaign as the Labette County coordinator and as part of the broader Southeast Kansas Power Team, headed by my good friend Michelle Hucke. I also wanted to say up front that I am receiving no financial or other compensation for this volunteer position or for any Tiahrt articles, images, or other items on my blog, Facebook, or Twitter.

But while we’re on the subject, I want to tell you why I support Todd.

I hope it’s become apparent to my longtime readers and Twitter followers that I’m not about furthering any one person’s agenda just because their rhetoric sweeps me off my feet. For me, it’s all about the conservative movement and how we, as citizens, can bring our government back inside the bounds we’ve set for it.

Every once in a great while, there comes about a candidate that truly has the ability and backbone to work for this same grand goal. In this Senate primary, that man is Todd Tiahrt.

As I hope you have seen, I don’t back candidates lightly. If you recall, it took me weeks to decide whether or not I would help the (pre-Palin) McCain campaign by doing anything besides voting for it. It wasn’t until after Palin was named VP nominee that I even campaigned for it instead of simply against Obama.

Once you meet Todd and his family, you instantly understand. Instead of the usual political garbage, you get authenticity and a feeling that you’re speaking with someone who’s actually listening, not just doing the head-bob that politicians are so good at. Fifteen seconds later, and after his surprisingly firm handshake, you realize he’s just like you; you come to understand that he could just as easily be your children’s football coach or the man who owns the local real estate agency. That’s because that’s who Todd is: a genuine, caring, and intelligent man who is one of us. Instead of D.C. changing Todd, Todd has changed D.C.

For me to support, endorse, and actually work for a candidate, I have to truly and wholeheartedly believe in them and what they stand for. #RealDeal is not just a Twitter slogan. I hope my support solidifies that idea for you, because it’s completely true.

Todd Tiahrt is that man, and he’s the real deal, Kansas.

Call to Arms.

Last Tuesday didn’t go as we’d hoped. We all know that, and if you’re like me, you’re sick of hearing about it. In fact, you were probably sick all day Wednesday and half of Thursday. I know I was.

But, the fact is, we were right in the beginning. Those of us that supported Huckabee, Romney, or Thompson knew that McCain wasn’t the best choice, but we soon realized that he was the only one with any chance of fighting the Obama machine. He was the only candidate with the whole package of electable qualities. He had the connections, the reputation, and the experience. He also had (at first) the media’s support, but John McCain was not the perfect candidate: John McCain was our best hope.

Now, before I get blasted for seemingly contradicting myself, let me state the obvious. I was wrong. However, I hope you understand the underlying reasons for my push for John McCain. While in the end I did support him and many (not all) of his proposed policies, it was Sarah Palin whom I really wanted elected. McCain was simply the vehicle to get a true conservative into the White House once again, and therein lies the reason why McCain did not succeed. As others have said, Barack Obama wanted to become President, while John McCain wanted to be nice, congenial, and unassuming. Folks, that’s not the way you win the Presidency. Now, I’m not abandoning John McCain, for I still believe he would have been a better President than Barack Obama could ever dream of becoming, but we must move on.

I believe this (somewhat-resounding) defeat is actually a blessing in disguise. What the Obama victory has given us is something we haven’t had for the past political generation and never though we’d welcome: relative obscurity. The Democrats lived in it throughout the early Bush years, and they used it to their advantage, building their grassroots organizations and spreading the seeds for broad societal change. If you don’t agree that obscurity can be a blessing, look where they are now.

It seems to me we’ve got two choices. We can either stick our tails between our legs and limp away to lick our wounds, or we can fight for what’s right for America, but that process must begin today. If we want to reclaim our nation, we have no other choice. Let us begin grooming tomorrow’s Republican Congressional Candidates immediately. When we finally woke up to the dangers that Obama was proclaiming, we were effective! Just take a look at the National Republican Trust‘s whirlwind fundraising record set in the last two weeks of the campaign. We must continue to fully fund effective PACs, like HuckPAC and National Republican Trust. In order to stop the socialist onslaught, we must regain seats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives in 2010. Let us begin the next Republican Revolution, today!

The Liberals have MoveOn.org to spread their hate and deceit; why aren’t we as effective with using the Internet to spread our message of prosperity, individual liberties, and limited government? This must change. Support conservative bloggers you enjoy reading, like Michelle Malkin or this site. The Left has control of the main stream media, so it’s time for us to take control of the New Media. Instead of heading over to CNN.com for your news, pick it up at FoxNews.com or Pajamas Media. Don’t just keep it to yourself, either: tell your friends about these sites, and talk them up at work. Word of mouth is our best advertising tool.

Another grassroots organizing site to consider was just put up by the RNC, RepublicanforaReason.com. It includes direct links to the GOP platform and an encouraging video about past Republican Presidents.

Also, I do want to point out that although Barack Obama’s win is historic, this election was never about race. You are not a racist for disagreeing with Obama’s policies; it used to be called Free Speech. I encourage you to use that right, respectfully.

I know 2012 seems a ways off, and I also know that many of you don’t even want to think about another Presidential election yet, but folks, the campaigns have already begun. Palin has been dropping hints about a 2012 or 2016 run, and Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) has already started visiting Iowa. Something like 64% of Republicans want Palin in 2012. Gov. Mike Huckabee pulls 12%, and Gov. Mitt Romney, 11%. Me? I’m pulling for a Palin-Jindal ticket. I think Palin has shown that she is the one who can truly bring true reform to Washington, and I’m excited to watch how things play out for her, especially since she’s finally outside of the auspices of John McCain. Jindal is a man to watch in his own right, having brought Louisiana through two major disasters this year, supporting Life, and backing fiscal conservatism (even if he needs some schooling in the use of earmarks).

We can and will prevail, but only our unwavering diligence will bring conservatism back to Washington. You say, “We’ll get ‘em next time?” Show me. Start work today and never give up. Don’t talk of moving to a foreign nation; this is our country, too, and I intend to help put it back on the correct path. Are you with me?

I’ll leave you with this admonition from the great British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill:

“We shall go on to the end, …we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength… whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, … we shall never surrender!“

Keep the Faith! Fight to the Finish!

I know what the polls say, but friends, I pray you do not despair, because I don’t believe they are correct.

Let me give my prediction for the outcome of tomorrow’s election. I think we’ll see a decisive McCain victory, not necessarily a landslide, but perhaps close to one.

Let me tell you why, as one last piece of encouragement.

1. Most, if not all, polls have been re-calibrated this election season to account for a huge influx of young voters and African American voters. However, according to early results, there has been no large increase in youth voters. This means, as usual, the polls have a sampling error.
2. Many polls also over sample Democrats, and therefore, show Obama in a higher lead than is actually the case.
3. Obama, with the intense and overbearing endorsement of the liberal media, has claimed the status of an incumbent. Undecideds usually break for the challenger, and that’s John McCain.
4. Even with the over-sampled polls, the numbers have been trending in McCain’s direction, and he has said he believes he’ll win, and that’s not a statement to be taken lightly when it comes from John McCain.

For more insight, here’s a good voice on the matter of dishonest polling.

The most important thing to do is to pray intensely for the future of our country and, more specifically, for a John McCain and Sarah Palin victory tomorrow. Pray that they do win by a decisive amount, because our way of life and the future of our nation and Christianity in America depends upon it.

The second most important thing to do is to get out and vote! Take your friends and neighbors and anyone you find on the street who supports McCain-Palin with you to the polls. This is a turnout election, and, truly, the man with the most votes wins (unless ACORN’s involved…). No excuses, now, get yourself out of bed and vote, and vote early!

Huckabee Rally in Joplin

Today the Missouri GOP held a Mike Huckabee for John McCain-Sarah Palin rally at the Joplin Regional Airport in Joplin, MO. Huckabee, was, as many of you know, my “first choice” candidate in the primaries (actually I supported Brownback for awhile, but Huckabee was my first “serious” choice).

Finally, today I got to meet Mike Huckabee, whom is still a man in the political realm I greatly respect. Huck spoke about some really great issues with some great zingers, like, “Taking money out of your own pocket and giving it to someone else is charity. Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden taking money our of your pocket is called one thing: it’s theft.”

He had the crowd of about three hundred (it was a surprise rally) roaring approval and the majority mobbed him as soon as he was finished.

Here’s the photo I took with Huckabee:

Email from McCain Campaign to Supporters

I just received this email from Rick Davis and thought I’d pass it along. I did NOT write this, he did. I’m just reposting it for your benefit:

To: Interested Parties From: Rick Davis, Campaign Manager Date: October 31, 2008 RE: The Final Push The State of the Campaign  If your television is tuned to cable news as frequently as ours are here at campaign headquarters, you have seen the pundits say John McCain and his campaign are done. And, if you’ve followed this race since the beginning, this is clearly a song you’ve heard before. I wanted to take some time today to give you some insight on the state of the race as we see it.  An AP poll released this morning revealed a very telling fact: ONE out of every SEVEN voters is undecided. That means, if 130 million voters turn out on Tuesday, 18.5 million of them have yet to make up their mind. With that many votes on the table and the tremendous movement we’ve seen in this race, I believe we are in a very competitive campaign.  Here’s why:  All the major polls have shown a tightening in the race and a significant narrowing of the numbers. In John McCain’s typical pattern, he is closing strong and surprising the pundits. We believe this race is winnable, and if the trajectory continues, we will surpass the 270 Electoral votes needed on Election Night.  National Polls: Major polls last week showed John McCain trailing by double-digit margins – but by the middle of this week, we were within the margin of error on four national tracking surveys. In fact, the Gallup national tracking survey showed the race in a virtual tie 2 days this week.  State Polls: Iowa - Our numbers in Iowa have seen a tremendous surge in the past 10 days. We took Obama’s lead from the double digits to a very close race. That is why you see Barack Obama visiting the state in the final days, trying to stem his losses. It is too little, too late. Like many other Midwestern states, Iowa is moving swiftly into McCain’s column.  The Southwest - It is no secret that Republican candidates in the Southwest have to focus on winning over enough Latino and Hispanic voters in Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado to carry them to victory. John McCain has overcome challenges Republicans face, and has made up tremendous ground in these states with these voters. For these voters, the choice has become clear, and you have seen a big change in the numbers. John McCain is now winning enough voters to perform within the margin of error – putting these states within reach.  Colorado - Barack Obama tried to outspend our campaign in Colorado during the early weeks of October and finish off our candidate in Colorado. However, after our visit early this week, we saw a tremendous rebound in our poll position, and Colorado is back on the map.  Ohio and Pennsylvania - Everyone knows that vote rich Ohio and Pennsylvania will be key battlegrounds for this election. Between the two: 41 electoral votes and no candidate has gotten to the White House without Ohio. Senator McCain and Governor Palin have been campaigning non-stop in these key battleground states and tonight Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has pumped up our campaign at a rally in Columbus. Our position in these states is strong and undecided voters continue to have a very favorable impression of our candidate. Obama campaign faces tremendous structural challenges in the final days of this campaign  Obama has a challenge hitting 50%: Barack Obama has not reached the 50% threshold in almost any the battleground state. He consistently is performing in the 45-48% range. When we look closely at the primary votes, we see a history of a candidate whose Election Day performance is often at or behind his final polling numbers. If this is true, our surge will leave Obama with even or under 50% of the vote on Election Day.  Early Vote: The Obama campaign has promised that their early vote and absentee efforts will change the composition of the electorate. They have sold the press on a story that first time voters will turn out in droves this election cycle. Again, the facts undermine their argument. In our analysis of early voting and absentee votes to date: The composition of the electorate has not changed significantly and most folks who have voted early are high propensity voters who would have voted regardless of the high interest in this campaign.  Expanding the Field: Obama is running out of states if you follow out a traditional model. Today, he expanded his buy into North Dakota, Georgia and Arizona in an attempt to widen the playing field and find his 270 Electoral Votes. This is a very tall order and trying to expand into new states in the final hours shows he doesn’t have the votes to win. The Final Barnstorm On Monday, we will have a 14 state rally with our candidates crisscrossing the country trying to turn out our voters and sway the final undecided voters. Governor Palin will hit Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and Alaska in the final day of campaigning, while Senator McCain will travel from Tampa, Florida, to Virginia, then Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Mexico, Nevada and finish the night in Prescott, Arizona. The enthusiasm and excitement we generate on Monday will be the electricity that powers our “Get Out the Vote” efforts on Tuesday. On the Ground  Our field organization has tremendous energy and is out-performing the Bush campaign at the same time in 2004. This week our field organization crossed a huge threshold and began reaching more than one million voters per day, and by week’s end will have contacted more than 5 million voters. Our phone centers are full and our rate of voter contact is significantly out-pacing the Bush campaign in 2004. We have the resources to do the voter contact necessary to support the surge we are seeing in our polling with old fashioned grassroots outreach. On the Airwaves In the final days of the campaign, our television presence will be bigger and broader than the Obama campaign’s presence. The full Republican effort – the RNC’s Independent Expenditure and the McCain campaign will out-buy Barack Obama and the Democrats by just about 10 million dollars. In short: the McCain campaign is surging in the final 72 hours. Our grassroots campaign is vibrant and communicating to voters in a very powerful way. Our television presence is strong. And, we have a secret ingredient – A candidate who will never quit and who will never stop fighting for you and for your families.  In these final hours, Senator McCain and Governor Palin are counting on you – they are counting on you to knock on doors, to make turnout calls, to contact your friends and neighbors. Get our voters to the polls and help John McCain fight for your and for our country. This is our last mission on behalf of John McCain and I have no doubt I can count on your effort and energy to carry us across the line to victory.    Please visit this page if you want to remove yourself from the email list. [removed to protect my email address -caleb] Paid for by McCain-Palin 2008

This is our Time!

McCain supporters: this is our time.

We can swing this election completely in John McCain’s favor if we all get out and work this weekend. This is our time, this is when we can make a difference. John McCain has said he believes he’s going to win it, and although you may think that just sounds like a politician trying to bolster his support, McCain doesn’t usually say things to that effect unless he, himself, truly believes them (I’d appreciate fact checks on that, too, because I’m pretty sure I’m right). In fact, he said, “I hope it peaks out at just about mid-day next Tuesday,” meaning he’s pretty confident in the momentum that’s been building these past few days. Carl Cameron, an embedded reporter from Fox with the McCain campaign says that’s pretty accurate description of how the team’s feeling, as well.

I know I write about ways to be involved on a regular basis, but it’s because it’s so important! I want you to know that I’m not just talking about these things, I’m trying to do them myself, too. Just last night I called about fifty people for Sen. Pat Roberts, Lynn Jenkins (running for KS-2 Congressional), Bob Marshall (KS Senate-13), Jeff Locke (KS House-2), and Michael Gayoso (Crawford County, KS Attorney). Just a few minutes ago, I made about eight or so calls for McCain-Palin before my cell phone lost its charge.

And with all those calls, you’d think I would have gotten royally chewed out a few times, right? Actually, no, and I’ve only had two people hang up on me. I think that’s pretty encouraging.

Americans are looking for change this election, there’s no doubt about that, but we as supporters of capitalism, free markets, life, and democracy, and as backers of John McCain and Sarah Palin, must do our part to help voters everywhere pick the right change and the right reform, and only McCain-Palin will bring those.

Friends, keep the faith, and keep fighting strong. We can and will win this thing.

Trends…

I thought I’d post some encouragement.

Yesterday, Gallup’s Traditional Likely Voters Daily Tracking Poll tightened to a 2 point race and Rasmussen’s Likely Voters Daily Tracking Poll tightened to a 3 point race.

Today, Fox’s Opinion Dynamics Poll (weekly) tightened to a 3 point race.

So, the importance of those numbers? Well, first of all, they should all be taken with a grain of salt, just like any other poll, favorable or not, because any number of factors can come into play that could skew the results. What this does mean is that the polls are still in flux (Gallup and Rasmussen changed again today), and that this race is very much winnable.

However, each of these polls has its results within the margin of error, which means this race is statistically tied. This race is tightening, and we’re trending toward McCain in these last days.

It’s all thanks to the wisdom of the average American citizen (aka Joe the Plumber), the rest of us are finally seeing “The Real Barack Obama” and his radical and naïve ideas for our future. Obama wants to take money that you have worked hard for and give it freely to whomever he chooses, without any input from you! He wants to grow the government and make it king. Truth is, history has shown that we’re generally better off when government gets out of our lives and lets us control our own destinies, an idea that Obama doesn’t seem to like.  

We, as a country, are liking it more and more, however. That same Fox Opinion Dynamics Poll showed McCain’s economic and favorability numbers up dramatically, while Obama’s have been weakening. Those are encouraging facts to consider in this last week. We have five days to save the future of this country.

There are a few things you can do right now to help save America from the throes of socialism.

1. Donate today to the National Republican Trust PAC. This group is running hard-hitting ads that tie (rightfully so) Barack Obama to the “Rev.” Jeremiah Wright and tell the truth about Obama’s plan to give the 16 million illegal aliens driver’s licenses, benefits, and eventually amnesty, effectively giving them citizenship for free. They’ve raised 4 million in about three days, but they need about 2 million more to start running these ads in five more states and on national broadcast networks.
2. Make Calls for the McCain campaign to encourage undecided voters to vote for the clear choice this November, Senator John McCain. Also, your calls will remind those voters who requested early ballots to turn them in. If they don’t mail them back in by today, there’s a great likelihood that they won’t be received in time to count, and once you’ve requested an early ballot, you cannot vote at the polls in many states.
3. Call your local GOP or McCain headquarters and ask how you can help. Many HQs need help stuffing door hanger literature drop bags (my local HQ still needs 6,000 stuffed) and/or calling voters who requested early ballots and still have not voted (in my small Kansas community, there are 2,000 Republicans/Independents leaning Republican who requested early ballots and have not voted [see above]).
4. Donate to either the RNC or the McCain-Palin Victory 2008 fund. With Obama not accepting public financing, McCain needs all of the extra support he can muster so his federal funds can be used for get-out-the-vote activities. The RNC is also running some ads on McCain’s behalf, so we need to make sure we support them.
5. Pray for a McCain-Palin win. This is perhaps the most important step. I truly believe that they are the best choice for restoring our nation the “shining city on a hill” that Reagan used to talk about (before my time!), but also, I believe they are the best choice for putting our country back on God’s path, and I believe he will bless our prayers. Besides simply praying for their victory, I also pray specifically for McCain wins in West Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Colorado, Virginia, Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico. All but the last two are considered “battleground” states, and the last two I think would be great morale-boosters. Praying specifically against Barack Obama and his deceitfulness and socialism is also a very good idea.

Remember, no matter what these opinion polls say, the only poll that matters is the one taken on November 4th, which means, vote! Take your McCain friends with you and swing this election in favor of capitalism, the free markets, government reform, integrity, and transparency, and true democracy.

Vote McCain-Palin on November 4th.

Whew… Finally!

Finally! That was all I could say as I watched tonight’s third and final Presidential Debate. Finally, John McCain went after Barack Obama in a clear, concise, and logical manner. He attacked him, respectful as ever, over such issues as his “95% Illusion,” his views against education vouchers, at one point saying something to the effect of, “He’s against them because there’s only 1,000 available [in Washington, D.C.], even though they work? [sic] Oh, okay I get it.” Now I probably paraphrased that slightly, but can’t you feel the intensity of this man? He understands “normal” America, and finally, he’s out there really fighting Obama.

McCain also, finally, took Obama to talk over the Illinois Senator’s “More of the Same” tagline, saying, “Sen. Obama, I’m not President Bush. If you want to run against him, you should have run four years ago.” [link] The truth is, McCain was right on target; he’s not President Bush. He’s fought against many Bush proposals and policies and really does have a reputation in Washington for being his own man, not a “yes man” like Sen. Obama.

An aside: [Now, it should be said that I'm one of the 34% or so in this country that still support President Bush. I don't necessarily approve of everything he's ever done, but the man is definitely not our worst President ever; since when did Carter get taken out of that running?!]

I thought tonight was by far the most interesting Presidential debate (the VP debate was the best) that we’ve had all year. The candidates actually answered many, if not most, of the questions, and they sparred over policy in a way that “Joe the Plumber” could understand. I really hope and pray that it’s enough. We’re coming down to the wire in terms of time, but as I mentioned in a previous article, I don’t think McCain should throw in the towel. I honestly believe this election is far from over.

For instance, take October of 1980. Reagan was trailing Carter by several percentage points, but managed to come back and win 44 out of the 50 states in the Electoral College. Or Bush in 2000, who trailed Gore in October but came back to win the Electoral College (but not the popular vote, something I’d perfer not happen to John McCain). Kerry also had the same thing happen to him 2004. He was feeling pretty good after his victories in the three debates, but a tape released “at the eleventh hour” (five days before the election) cost him the election.

The fact is, if John McCain can stay on top of this, he can defeat Barack Obama, but he’s got to stay exactly on message for the next 19 days. He must draw clear and precise differences between himself and Sen. Obama, just like he did tonight, and he must connect with normal, average “Joe the Plumber”s, if he expects to win.

There are a couple of ways we can help spur him along.

1. First of all, and most importantly, join the 8:00 (CT) Prayer Movement. All you have to do is pray for at least one minute every night at 8:00 CT for our nation, the election, and our armed forces. Prayer is our most powerful weapon, and probably the most underutilized.
2. Second, prayerfully consider donating to  McCain-Palin Victory 2008 or the Republican National Committee to help provide conservative, values-based candidates with the tools they need to fight for and win this most important election.
3. Third, ensure you are registered to vote. You can do so at Rock the Vote!, JohnMcCain.com, or your local county clerk’s office.
4. Fourth, involve yourself in your local politics. Put up a McCain-Palin yard sign or stick a (removable… don’t want to ruin that paint!) bumper sticker on your car and then be prepared to give a steady answer when asked why you support John McCain and Sarah Palin. Talk to your neighbors! Word-of-mouth is our second most powerful tool (after prayer).
5. Go vote! None of this matters if you don’t get out there on Tuesday, November 4th (that’s November 5th for you Obama supporters!) and actually vote! Check your voter identification card or call your local county clerk’s office for information on polling locations.

We’re not out of this thing by any means! Keep the faith and pray that we will be rewarded.
