Liberals are the perfect contrary indicator.
Every word they say is a lie. As the top post correctly indicated, if liberals didn’t lie about their intentions everyone would be petrified of them.
Sadly though, only recently have our side even begun to accuse the left of what it’s been busy doing for decades.
Up until about last week, the GOP seemed determined to imitate the caricature of (lies) which liberals so dishonestly characterize themselves with.
So rather than something like:
Liberal: “Investment”.
Conservative/Libertarian: “That’s not investment that’s taxation you lying piece of dirt”
We get:
Liberal: “Investment”.
Conservative/Libertarian: “I’m compassionate too...”.
When motivated to do so, either by events too weighty to ignore, or by a candidate too great to pass up... or, as in 2012's case, both, conservative middle America represents the single-largest voting bloc in our Nation, representing at least 55% of all people of voting age.
That's why if the conservatives are motivated to get out and pull the levers, and they are joined by a large chunk of Independents, Blue Dog or Reagan Democrats, and women of any stripe who just want to be a part of proud American History being made (as opposed to just 'history' being made in O'Bunga's case) the GOP can take back powerful majorities in both houses of Congress in '10, and then Palin can win the White House in a 58-to-62% supermajority in '12.
Again, it's not up to the GOP this time around... and that's a very, very good thing.
