Another Reason To Register DINO

[eruby]

Nope, I'm doing the same exact thing, neighbor

This.

This is what we need to fix. The people that need to grow a set, ball up and support 2A regardless of the "dirty Dem" feeling.

And this.

 

[BRONZ]

It feels dirty...

 

[Boom Boom]

It feels dirty...

Which means you're accomplishing something. Staying squeaky clean is for and and and and .

For this to work correctly we all need to be organized. Im hoping the organizations that have been helping us through these tough times well help lead along with some trusted md shooters mods and people.

I think you should vote what you believe, not default to a D or R.However this time Im open for my vote because what I believe is to send a strong message from us "rednecks", its more important than a few issues in my city, county, state.

I am well aware it may take decades for people to realize you can use your vote more wisely than some college kid saying "but i wanna protect the schools, guns are bad" I just hope it doesnt make the asshats try to accomplish "more" during their terms...

..Then find somewhere else to post your negativity!!!

LOL... Don't worry I can assure you, my comments won't be the cause of any potential success or failure of the DINO movement.

I realize the political landscape, but it's worth doing. If we get enough people it CAN make a difference, especially in a one-party system.

Look back at the Soviet Union: change didn't occur overnight in the one-party system. Over time, however, change occurred (from Joe Stalin to Gorbachev) and eventually the wall came down. This occurred in spite of a one-party system.

Please help me understand your example? How does a communistic regime compare to our Republic?

It doesn't matter how much of a majority they have, what matters is how close the vote is between the incumbent and challenger in the primary.

I understand... but I believe the execution will be much more difficult then what is being discussed.

I guess in the end the crucible of time will test it's effectiveness.

Has anyone made a list yet for those who are not in the know within their district.
I believe I am ok here in District 33. Tell me if there is something I should know about this district please.

Will you be in 33 for the 2014 Elections?

Fill in the information, and then click the District tab on the right.

Please help me understand your example? How does a communistic regime compare to our Republic?

It compares because there is one party in charge. One party, the Democrats, rule as they see fit. Have you seen the new district lines? They are only solidifying their position.

Also, our "Republic" is leaning heavily on the socialist side (tuition breaks for illegal aliens, taxes on "the rich," gun control, promotion of the welfare state). Socialism, as referred to in the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, is the gateway to communism.

Lastly, we have government officials acting in a way simply because they are furthering the party's agenda: AG supports MSP in processing 77Rs be declaring it lawful (despite a clear statute to the contrary), Court of Appeals judges declare our new voting districts as NOT gerrymandered (despite the odd shape I the districts that just so happens to dilute conservative votes), the media is obviously a propaganda machine here in Maryland....

I think that there is very much in common between communism and our "Republic" here in Maryland.

Switching to DINO, you would still be able to vote for them in the general elections and you would be able to vote for the weakest D candidate in the primary. Furthermore, you will suck up their time and other resources when they pander to you and solicit your assistance in helping defeat their opposition.

But I would feel so dirty!

I learned a long time ago not to wrestle a pig: you get dirty and the pig likes it. However, I'm gettin' dirty now cuz I'm fed up with my vote not counting for squat in MD!

Both my Senator, Dyson (D) and my Representative, O'Donnell (R) voted against the SB281 package. I intend on trying to keep both of them and my changing to a DINO would serve no purpose. Am I correct in this assumption?

I like Sen Dyson as a person. He really is a nice guy, goes to my church, and I make a point to patronize his family's business (great service and prices on home improvement products). However, he had the opportunity to show a strong pro-2A stance and vote NO for cloture when SB281 was in committee but he voted yes, then later voted against SB281, then used the political aircover of claiming "I voted against the bill." He's only pro-2A enough to get re-elected. I don't trust any politician that plays both sides of an issue, hoping people aren't paying attention. We are!

But to be clear....we certainly wouldn't want to vote out an incumbent that is 2A friendly. Focus should be squarely on the anti's.

This! Just be sure to do your homework and know their entire voting history.

Not to say they aren't worth keeping, but how did they vote on the amendments? Did they truely support us and vote for amendments favorable to us and then against the bill or did they vote with the party on the amendments and then against the bill?

Exactly my point! Great minds think alike!!!

DINO 2014!

So is it possible to get a list of every registered Republican in my district? Is this public information? I would be willing to put some $$ and manpower behind mailing each and every one of them the DINO flyer.

Here is how to purchase the voter registration lists:
http://www.elections.state.md.us/voter_registration/purchase_lists.html

The DINO brochure or cover letter needs to explain in more detail how registering on the dark side will help and how they can still vote like normal in the general election.

Not sure how this is difficult.

Another option is to run for office yourself. I believe most dems vote dem out of habit and just because "Republicans are bad, Mmkay". A conservative alternative to the usual liberal BS should be successful in most areas.

How does one go about running for office, like state representative or state senate?

Rob.

Here's my silly a$$ question about the DINO thing. I looked up my district a few weeks back and it says most of my reps are republican, except for the senators I believe...one happening to be everyone's favorite troll and the other one escapes me at the moment, but I think was one that has been in the chair for a long time. Is it worthwhile for me to go DINO, or should I just stay registered repub. like I am at the moment?

We have been focusing on the short term advantages of changing our voter registration to DINO (Democrat In Name Only), in order to vote out the anti's in the primary elections. There is a longer term advantage to having lots of DINO's, that is when the controlling party gets to redraw voting district lines they have no way of knowing who among the registered Democrats are really conservatives. Therefore they will gerrymander into the districts some of the people they are intentionally trying to disenfranchise.

Go and register DINO, then get out and vote, against the people who ban your guns and raise your taxes.

I just registered as DINO. Contemplating run for Dist 13 Howard County delegate.

1.) Visit your local "Board of Elections"
2.) Change your party affiliation to Dem {DINO}
3.) Primary the local DEM

you don't even need any budget. Once your name is resisted as a candidate the Baltimore Sun will contact you for an interview, local papers will do the same, league of women voters will ask you to participate in question and answer forums...

I did it several years ago for Ho Co Council, contemplating Dist 13 run.

As a DINO you will get to vote for a Democrat challenger to the two you mentioned. If they don't win the primary they are not on the ballot in the general election. You can still vote for Republicans in the general election.

The only reason to not DINO is if there are two Republican candidates with opposite 2nd Amendment views in a district that is likely to elect a Republican. Then you want to support the pro 2nd candidate.

An added benefit of DINO is you get to vote against certain Democratic candidates for President in the primary. It may not make a difference but it sure feels good.

Bab's, Cardin, and Edwards (House and Senate), Simonaire State Senate, and Schuh, Dwyer, and Kipke Delegates. Going DINO be any help? I know the delegates and Simonaire are pretty much on our side, but it's the House and Senate folks that have me confused......since they've been there for so long and seem to win by a pretty big margin. I have no problem with switching parties, though I may have to shower for a week to get the stench off me. I just want to make sure I'm doing what will help us out most.

Go and look up how they have voted in the past on 2nd issues then compare their record with the record or stated positions of their opponents in both primary and general elections. Yes it means work but are your gun rights worth working for?

Perhaps other people in your voting district have already done some of the work and will chime in. If not get together with some of your shooting buddies and divide up the work each person look up the records of one or two and make a score card to share with each other. Contact your representatives and ask some hard questions if they give you weak canned answers, like "I believe in the second amendment which is why I voted for SB 281", find another candidate. If there are no pro 2nd candidates running vote to unseat those "...since they've been there for so long and seem to win by a pretty big margin." so some new blood that doesn't owe favors to every lobbyist can get in.

You have until June of 2014 to get ready.
