Col Rob Maness (ret), Candidate US Senate, R-LA

[oscar615]

Not a personal attack here, thanks for being involved....BUT I'd honestly rather another 6 years of Mary than 6 years of Cassidy. At least we know what to expect with Mary, and gridlock in Washington = no new laws = a good thing to me.

this is exactly how I feel.

That's the exact kind of thinking that kept Edwin Edwards in office, and screwing us, for so long.

As for gridlock, we're not going to get gridlock with a Rat POTUS and a Rat Senate. Let's get an R in there, if for nothing else than to make the Rats a minority, thus ousting Reid and tipping the committees. The Senate could then stymie 0sama's agenda until the Socialist is out of power. Maybe even start fixing things.

Col. Maness is the obvious choice. But another 6 years of Landrieu? No effing way!

 

[oscar615]

Gridlock is how our gov't was designed to work. It is a good thing.


We DO NOT send people to Washington to pass more laws, but to protect our liberties. That is all.

That we send them to pass laws is a common misconception that most have been brainwased into believing through public schools and mass media.

Another law passed is another liberty lost. Plain and simple.

the only thing a candidate has to say to lose my vote is "ill reach across the aisle". No. I don't want you working with these clowns, I want you to stand up to them.

My question for you is when/where/how are you going to get some more exposure? get up some billboards and signs in high visibility areas man! 95% of republican voters don't even know someone else is running

How you ask, just as he/we are doing. ( and how everyone here is going to get off their ass and go do!)

After I met Col.Maness at a local meet n greet. I started with a yard sign, and I grabbed a bundle of his flyers to put up at my shops.
I guarantee you that ALL of my neighbors have inquired about Rob, and I have at least 1 customer a day take his flyer.
People like us are just sick and tired of the **** being put in front of us to eat!

My point is, even if I only swayed 10 people, those 10 were free for Col.Maness Nor did it cost me anything.
No commercial will ever be as effective as good ole "Word of Mouth" referral and approval.
Louisiana still has the little big town gossip circles. Everyone knows someone in this state, word is spreading FAST!

This is what we have been waiting for.
Time to make a difference. Time to go out and tell EVERYONE about Rob.
Doesn't cost us a thing, and will ultimately save His campaign a TON of money ( could be billions or even trillions !)

The Libtards **** their pants when the under dogs win elections and only spend 1/10 of the money.
That's all you hear about is how much money was spent on a campaign.

Exactly my point. Gridlock is good. No laws passed, no more liberties lost.

For those that commented on "Settling for the lesser of 2 evils" --- NOW REALLY !
don't you think our future is worth standing up this time and spreading the word?
If I asked you to PLEASE do it, would you ?

Rob CAN WIN ! Hope is not lost. Rob is NOT the underdog. He is one of us, even moreso he has the balls to stand up and do something rather than settle for anything less.

We have enough people here on this forum to make a difference!
Here's an idea for a simple conversation and introduction:
You can start by noting that Col.Maness is on your favorite BS forum !


For Anyone sitting on the fence, Rob is here, just ask a question.

If your NOT on the fence, then PLEASE go out tomorrow and tell someone.
Repeat as necessary.

Thanks to the BS members that promote Col. Rob Maness.

Vince

Col.Maness did NOT ask me to cheerlead for him. ( I'm sure he doesn't remember who I am. Even I have trouble remembering all of my own customers )
He did not ask me to get a yard sign, nor take the flyers.

Hell, I felt bad at the time because I took his ENTIRE stack of flyers with me.
He looked a little worried, but I swore I was not working for the competition , and that I WOULD put them to good use ! ( and not in the garbage)

Last, I will admit that I did send money to his campaign.

I figure by telling all of my friends here on BS, I will encourage at least one of you to do the same!

Explain how the primary is a split vote situation? As the two republicans are running against each other. The one that wins the primary would then run against Landrieu. Am I incorrect in this?

Of course any conservative would vote against Landrieu. But we are not at that point. And after seeing good people winning against entrenched incumbents in VA and elsewhere, it would not be prudent to vote for Cassidy in the primary.

I for one can no longer vote for the lesser of two evils, as they are both evil. if Mr. Maness wins the primary, great! But if in the end, it is Cassidy or Landrieu, so be it. I am no longer voting for the win, that is what has put us in the situation we are in now. I am voting for whoever I think is right.

We are an open primary state, if one candidate gets 50%+1 they win the race no run off needed. However if no one breaks the 50% mark the top two candidates regardless of party are in a run off. So yes there is a real possibility of splitting the vote. It happened in David Vitter's first run for the senate in 2004. He hit the 50% mark with I believe 4 other candidates in the race.

With regard to 50% of the vote I suggest you take a look at the last 5th District Poll from a few weeks ago. Here are the numbers Cassidy 34%, Landrieu 32%, Maness 16%, Hollis 10%, McMorris 8%. I don't put a lot of faith in polls but you can get long term trending off them and a year ago Mary was between 52-48% in this type of poll and now she is at 32%. Cassidy was at 34% a year ago and has not changed so I leave it to you to deduce why this poll shows like it does. Finally, this is an open Primary so you have to run a campaign that contrasts you with the other candidates so we must do that or we can't win and get to the runoff. There is no split the vote problem if folks vote for the Republican of their choice on Nov 4 and we unite for the runoff on Dec 6.

[madwabbit]

yup. I'd like a good yard sign for a change!

Had someone stick a mary sign in my yard last election, and I was very excited to see it.

you know how hard it is to hit that " i " dot at 100 yards without a scope? darn near took me a hundred rounds.

Excellent. I'll be sending my contribution soon. Have to pay the bills first!

Keep up the good work!

 

[shoalsfugro]

I agree with Vince 100%, I heard about COL. Manness through a friend. I reviewed his values and views and decided he was the best candidate for my vote. One thing all of need to do is get our younger voters to take elections more serious explain to them why they need to get involved. I started watching his Facebook page and notice something rare, responses to questions by a candidate! Far as Polls go, well why don't we just ask Cantor how that whole poll thing is working out for him..LOL

IF we are gonna cherry pick poll data lets look at the numbers from Cassidy's home district not Shreveport. I'm undecided but I believe in calling spades spades.

I agree that while interesting to the campaign, any single district polling is not as relevant to the rest of us. I'm not sure why they picked the 5th district (which does not actually include Shreveport), other than it looked good.

As far as splitting the vote, I think it is actually much better to have multiple candidates in the primary, even real fringe candidates (not referring to Maness), as any vote not cast for Mary makes it less likely that she'll get the 50% she needs to win in the primary.

The 5th Dist poll is a good indicator based on the demographics and voter patterns, relative to the rest of the state. Just gives a bit of quantitative info to confirm no "split the vote" issue and Mary is in deeper trouble than before. thx

I am sure your campaign managers are on it, but please don't forget to tell everyone that Landrieu is almost solely responsible for the train wreck that is the ACA. The vote for cloture, that she sold, started it all. It would be interesting if you could dig up polling data in that date range, I am pretty sure the majority of Louisianans was opposed to it across the board at the time of that force feeding.

It shows that Landrieu will side lockstep with those ideologues against the wishes of her constituents.

The saddest thing of all, was she sold the biggest vote in her history to the party, and got snubbed by the pretender when Louisiana needed the favor returned the most (BP aftermath).

Her record of lockstep ideology shows that she is a pawn and a tool for the dems. Regardless. Now she wants to distance herself? How convenient when she played a major role in this administrations unraveling AND incompetence.
