Why Obama Won — and What Conservatives Must Do

So what should conservatives do, now that the nation has elected Barack Obama to a second term? The popular vote is fairly split evenly, and we are still a divided nation. Politically, there is nothing ahead but continued stalemate in Congress. The president will attempt to move ahead via executive branch fiat, thereby bypassing Congress.

In this atmosphere, it is foolhardy to give the nation evidence that failure to try and solve problems that are confronting us is the fault of Republicans and conservatives. Those opposed to the direction Obama favors should provide serious and meaningful alternatives of their own, and present them to the nation. They should do everything possible to reveal to the nation that it is the White House, and not the defeated Republicans, that is failing to deal with the coming crisis of a growing entitlement state.

In foreign policy, which is the most dangerous of the coming crises that will face the Obama administration, conservatives should relentlessly forge ahead on issues like the failure of the White House in the murders of our diplomats at Benghazi, which candidate Romney foolishly failed to deal with in the last days of the campaign, and to see to it that there is a change in direction from the failed policies of the past four years. It also means a continuing effort to raise the issue of the danger to the world of the growing radical Islamic movements abroad, to attack their ideology, and to make it clear that although Bin Laden is dead, his death did not put an end to a regrouped al-Qaeda.

Finally, it is essential...

Now I know what it must have been like when the Nazis marched into France. Four dark years of starvation and race politics, few jobs and and one party politics—The GOP is dead. Only wise leftists are left to rule as tyrants. They played it right. The MSM, Unions, Hollywood power brokers, and minorities will always win—Elections are done. From this point on—Why Vote? Only Democrats will ever win—No Republican will ever sleep in the White House from this point on.

I agree.

I'm just frustrated that I started to believe the predictions of those in conservative media...

It's now clear the conservative media aren't any more honest than the liberal biased MSM. They'll say whatever they think we want to hear, just to keep us tuning in day after day. We shouldn't ever forget their true customers are their advertisers, NOT their audiences.
