Eventually the boring little things everyone takes for granted, become the great big things that bite you hard. For many decades the majority of our fellow citizens were far more liberal and democratic than the electorate which actually voted.
We constantly say, oh that's a poll of "registered voters" it doesn't count. Or even worse, we say are you kidding? It's a poll of ADULTS not even people registered to vote. Then we discuss how those people are too lazy to vote and they don't count.
Well reality is a tough thing. They did count because they could vote. America has long been a country where if everyone voted we'd have a liberal disaster on our hands. As democrats engineered the demographics of NY, Cal., and many other big states we said, boy it's a good thing the whole country isn't like those places, we'd be cooked.
Well last night the chickens came home to roost. They came home to vote. We're talking about the America that lives in New York City and New Jersey, watched their fellow citizens murdered on the real September 11 - and if they had been the likely voters, there never would have been a War On Terror, or lots of other policies the rest of us took for granted.
Republicans ignore those non voters because they won't vote for Republicans anyway. Republicans use those folks to scare the rest of us so we'll elect Republicans in more conservative areas. Democrats usually ignore them because they always vote democrat no matter what.
Barack Obama offered the perfect storm, a black liberal democrat who could turn registered voters into actual voters. And the disaster came. The turnout models in the polls were correct because he turned them out. Blacks, 18 year old kids, hispanics, single mothers, people from school districts so bad they aren't really schools, they are just places for the formerly non voting class to hang out or sell drugs.
These voters don't give a damn how many ships the navy has, or whether Egypt goes radical, heck many are muslims. They WANT Obamacare and things like the deficit are meaningless to them. Harsh words here on a conservative site, but in their world it's just fine.
Granted most polls show a slight majority don't want Obamacare, etc. But guess what? This time WE became the "registered voters". The actual voters were the 99% black population who turned out for Obama, the unwed mothers who want a handout, and so on. All the Americans who were there but didn't count because they didn't bother, well now they bothered.
What do you do when most of your fellow citizens want an America you believe is a horrible misguided mistake? Well it's not easy. All the talk about how blacks, hispanics, etc, have more in common with us doesn't cut it. How many conservative republicans are prepared to actually get those votes rather than pay lip service? Can you even get those without becoming liberal?
This is the hard part. Can we really reverse the demographics on immigration? Seems damn unlikely. Do we just sit it out till Obama isn't on the ballot? You think democrats can't figure this out and keep doing it?
It's not easy but we took these registered voters for granted- just like the democrats did-forever. A healthy solution for America has to include them. Either they become more conservative or we can hang it up. And that has to mean more than conservatives just saying that those people don't realize our policies are better for them.
America can't afford to keep losing California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, the black vote, the Hispanic vote, the young vote, the female vote- because they have become The Vote. And they just reelected a truly lousy president because to them he's just fine. They are now the likely voters.
Troll inside the wire alert
Why don’t you post this truly original work as a magnum opus thread?
Your life’s work writ large if you will.
Hey , DUnce, smell my finger!
What’s the matter, caught a case of post amnesia?
Don’t remember how to post replies?
Ya gotta explain what was going on in NC...as per Breitbart..
Listening to descriptions of how “Democrats got out their ground game” with “superior ability to bring those to the polls who normally would never go” by the commentators on Fox election night..made me realize..what they actually have done is track names that HAVE NOT VOTED IN MANY, MANY elections cycles....and vote them.
A well-funded project, county-by-county..to examine the names signed in at at the polls..and going out to find those individuals..you’ll find they were never physically at he polls..or they themselves never filled out the absentee ballot....or their names in the death registers.
I’d like to find out if my stepdaughter has been voting.
Which would be some trick considering she passed away in 2000.
