Eric at Redstate.com ran a contest a couple of days ago asking readers to
state, in 100 words or less, why you should vote Republican in 2006.
The winner was Liz Mair of gopprogress.com who really nailed it:
I will vote Republican in 2006 because:
I want a prosperous America, where the poorest can achieve wealth, if allowed to save instead of pay high taxes, while benefiting from low unemployment and limited regulation.
I want a freer America, where my rights– to own a gun, to determine my own healthcare arrangements– are not infringed in the pursuit of an abstract common good.
I want a strong America– one that does not cower when threatened by its enemies, which defends its interests, and exists as a beacon of hope to all who wish to be free.
I would add two more reasons to her list: Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Rangel. Be afraid. Very afraid!
