Is there anyone working to get out the vote on behalf of the Republican Party?
Edited on Mon Oct-25-10 06:13 PM by Tony_FLADEM
Not that I'm concerned about that.


The RNC isn't making an effort to get out the vote that the DNC is.

It's been recently reported that many Tea Party groups are not really that involved in politics as some believe.


Although Republicans have an advantage when it comes to advertising, it seems they do not have the same organized effort to get people to vote as Democrats have.

2. They are spending money on advertising
I don't think they are making an organized effort to get people to vote.

18. They don't have to-Rethugs always vote.
The dems have the stoner wing that spaces it out, the unhappy campers who pout, and the bloggers who are too busy playing video games and going to facebook to get there. In reality its much harder for working people, especially single parents and those working two jobs to get there. The Republican retirees will show up to make sure no one else gets a pension, social security and medicare like them. After all they deserve it by virtue of being white aand you all don't.

4. Yep, I've had a couple of Rethug door thumpers already.
I greeted them with my standard, "Thanks, I'm a liberal, and I might have forgotten to go vote against you guys!"

Tweaks them every time :evilgrin:

5. Yes there is.
Corporations, foreign and domestic. Most billionaires too, but they're intertwined with corporations.

8. Some in PA are . I've never seen so many signs for a candidate (Corbett, Toomey). We've been
around PA a lot lately and they are everywhere. I don't know what signs do, but repigs must think that do something.

9. Respectfully disagree.
One thing the republican party is good at is getting their own to the voting booths. They do not have to do so, in the manner that democrats are now doing. They have a machine.

14. No idea
In my small town its safe to say that anyone who would door knock would know better than to knock on the Dem precinct chair's door.
