33 million people who lean conservative aren't registered to vote?

[Ballygrl]

I was just talking to a member here named sybilll and she said she heard Rasmussen at RightOnLine tonight say that voter registration will be a huge focus, as 33 million people that lean Conservative are not registered to vote, seriously? how the heck do you get to people like this?

[Undies]

Just keep talking to those folks.

Thanks Bally, Scott Rasmussen's address was blacked out, but I gathered from a friend who was tweeting from there that his news was depressing about the prospects of defeating Obama because essentially people like the idea of smaller government, but not forfeiting the government monies (EIC, etc) to which they've become reliant upon.  But he did say that yes, there are 33 million people that lean Conservative, but are not registered, and of those, more than 5 million have actually donated money to conservative candidates/causes.
Both myself (physical limitations and all), and God love her, my 79 y/o mother, will be spending our spare time this summer and fall working voter registration booths at prime selected locations.  I'm in TN which is not really a swing state, so if necessary, I will travel to either MO or OH.  Apologies in advance if I harp on asking for you to do the same, but I likely will.  
ETA:  I would contact either Americans For Prosperity or Freedom Works if your local GOP office is not pro-active enough about voter registration.

This is a huge problem when those that take outnumber those that give.

Who is John Galt?

Who is reliant on EIC?  Even our family made "too much money" for EIC.  When I think EIC, I think of everyone on food stamps (who really have no business being on it) and smacking their kids around Walmart.

I would love to know how Rasmussen came up with that figure.

Whether the stats are true or not, we need to make an effort to make sure all our conservative friends are registered to vote, and will vote. The left is going to do everything they can to get as many extra votes as they possibly can, even if they have to bus people from Mexico in to vote illegally. So to fight back we need to do our best to make sure that legal conservative voters will show up.

I am begging every conservative who isn't happy with Romney to please hold your nose and vote for him, you may not get the ideal conservative, but at least you can get a chance to vote against the horror we have in the white house now.

I have said it before and I will say it again, I do not believe these stupid polls. How the hell did this moron come up with 33 million. Is he sure it is not 30 mil or 20 mil or 1 mil.

So, what if he is off by 3 million, or 10 million, is that not a substantive number?  I know that I live in a very, very liberal city, so I get the apathy of Conservatives that their vote will not amount to a good damn.  I will err on the side of trying to rectify it, and not shoot the messenger.  Just my 2 cents.

You're quite right. We'll be defeated if we accept the news media's attempt to repress the Conservative vote. I'm not a big Romney fan, but you'll be darned sure that I'm going to vote for him and encourage as many as I possibly can to do the same. The Obama alternative is unacceptable.

Good for you in trying to help register voters. We can do it legally and register citizens who are alive, vs the graveyard vote from many of the Dems.

I applaud your efforts to register conservatives. It was not my intent to discourage you from doing that. I am hopeful that apathy will not be the norm and that Obama can be trounced in Nov.

Being an old fart, I have watched many elections. The liberal news media tries to skew every aspect of the election in their favor. Case in point was the exit polls of the Walker recall election where they came out with a 50/50 split. However, Walker won by 7 per centage points. I do question the messenger because of the liberal bias and sampling a few hundred or thousand equates to mathematical guesstimates rather than facts in my opinion. Conservatives should not get hung up on some of these wild polls.

Well said for a young guy!

I find in my area people don't vote in the primary due to the fact we are a caucus state and there is no President on the ballot. Then everyone seems to complain who the choices are in November.  This includes state, local and federal offices.  When people try to debate politics with me the first thing I ask them if they voted. I usually find out they are not even registered. They quickly take my hint when I quit speaking to them.

You sound to much like me. Voting is a small price to pay for the right to bitch about what government is doing.

If we could all get just 1 more conservative to register or better yet change 1 liberals mind we would win in a landslide.
