I could just slap the stupid out of the morons in the media who write such stupid titles.
It starts off with a declarative statement, and then poses a question that begs for an answer to that same declarative statement.
I guess a basic command of the English language is no longer a requirement to be a journalist, or even an editor. Crikey......
That said, there's no way for Obama to "rev up" his demoralized base. Most of his staunchly loyal supporters are in the Gimme Class, or are so politically, educationally, and culturally clueless, as to be beyond redemption.
These are the people who won't even bother to show up at the polls on election day, because The Won is their messiah, and he'll just magically reappear as their president, because everyone is going to vote for him. The Republicans don't stand a chance, because the media told them so, so why bother?
Of those who really are demoralized, many will be too disillusioned to make the effort to give him another vote of confidence. The thrill is gone for them, and unless they take the next year or so truly informing themselves, they're not going to even consider voting for the Republican. They'll just stay home.
Then, there are those who have actually been horrified at what they've done. These folks have real buyer's remorse, because they've had their eyes open for the previous two years, and have witnessed Obama ripping our nation's foundations asunder.
Many of these folks are about to cross the Rubicon, and give the Republican a chance. The more outspoken that Republican challenger is, and the more in opposition to Obama's agenda they are, the more likely these folks are to vote for them.
This is all the more reason that our nominee CANNOT be another milquetoast RINO, maneuvered into position by the ruling class. They have GOT to be a fierce patriot, who's unloading on Obama and the Marxist Dems with both barrels blazing.
The only candidate on our side who has naturally, and consistently met that bar, is Sarah Palin. We must ensure that she is our nominee in 2012. It's for all the marbles this time.
It’s for all the marbles this time.
Yes, it is. This is it.
I doubt you will get your wish.
As much as I would like to see Obama eviscerated in public, it is not necessary to win....therefore, it will not be done.
The Dems would love to have an opponent who makes this a personal grudge match with Obama. Unless it is Herman Cain on our side, they will be called racist, bigoted, etc. (even Cain would be called racist....somehow.)
Our candidate will win without making this race personal, which risks a backlash, blunder or 'inappropriate' comment. (which we would not consider inappropriate)
This campaign can be won by completely ignoring Obama himself and just talking about spending too much with no results, intruding too much with no authority and by not leading enough on the national and world stage.
Our side better focus on a clear three-step program to make things right. Something like:
Cut spending (Americans have tighted their belts, its time Washington tighten theirs)
Cut taxes and regulations (When people and companies spend their own money and are unleashed from Washington's control, this country prospers)
Return to individual sovreignty. (Americans are sick and tired of 'group' politics. The individual is the ultimate minority and must be at the forefront of our thinking on legislation.)
A more patriotic, forward-focused campaign is the key to win. Successful policies that fix the economy and get gov't under control win the ideological war, providing our side makes that point over and over again.
