What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
American Thinker ^ | 11-9-2012 | C. Edmund Wright

The story of the 2012 election is that voters still blame Republicans for systemic problems caused by liberalism, and yet they credit Obama for victories brought about by applied conservatism. Now how does this happen? The answer is both a short story and part of a longer festering narrative. Consider: during the Republican primary season, half of Mitt Romney's consultants told him to call Newt Gingrich the devil. The other half told him to merely to claim that the devil worshiped Gingrich. Then these same sorcerers all told Mitt to call Barack Obama "a nice guy." Well, gee, what could possibly go wrong with that plan?

For starters, we still have a country where over 50 percent of the voters think that George W. Bush is at fault for the economic mess and less than 40% think Obama is. Paul Ryan damned near admitted as much in his debate with Joe Biden.

I agree 100%.

Which is why I strongly oppose all attempts at failure.

We need to grow, expand and be strong once again.

And win.

That last point is the real clincher. But it demands American success.

We cannot fail ourselves into growth. We must win.

America must win.

With the results of this last election, the 'Rat machine has proven their latest election stealing protocols to be the most effective ever tried. So...why not run Valerie Jarrett? Why not run anyone they damned well please? Losing any pesky election is no longer an issue for them.

Welcome To The Machine.
