There Is A Conservative Wave Coming In November
Townhall.com ^ | September 15, 2014 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 09/15/2014 5:46:57 AM PDT by Kaslin

When Barack Obama starts acting like a real American president and promises to destroy our country’s enemies instead of apologizing to them, you know he's worried about the upcoming midterms. He should be. Conservatives are going to win them going away, and it's going to be gloriously devastating to the progressive cause.

Get ready to savor the delicious taste of victory. All the signs are there except for one – so far Dick Morris hasn’t predicted a Democrat triumph. That would seal it.

It's not so much the polling, which remains tight as long as the people measured are those with a pulse as opposed to those committed to going out and voting. The numbers look slightly GOP-favorable now but the final vote tallies will be much higher for Republicans. Don’t buy into the spin that some Obama-hugging incumbent polling at 43% is going to draw 51 percent on election day.

The zeitgeist favors the GOP. As predicted in my book Conservative Insurgency, huge numbers of Americans are sick of defeat, decline and deception. The rest just don’t care. Even in the best of times, Democrat-voting losers dedicated to a vision of government as a feeding trough for those embroiled in social pathologies need plenty of incentive to get their ample behinds off the couch and into a voting booth.

Plus, right now Barack Obama is about as popular as Bob Crane at a Southern Baptist convention.

If you want to know how your battle plan is doing, watch the other side. After fessing up to having no strategy for dealing with the junior varsity team that’s serially humiliated him, Barack Obama hung up his golf clubs for a moment and started talking like John Wayne . . . or at least like what liberals think of as John Wayne. The Duke never had to beg people to let him be clear.

Regardless, when you get some academic lounge lefty like Barack Obama taking America’s side in a fight, you know he's worried about the next election.

Barack Obama also delayed his fascisty plans to unilaterally impose amnesty upon a disgusted America, something you know he’s aching to do. By going back on his promise to the left – hey guys, welcome to our world! – Obama betrayed his rabid pro-illegal supporters. But doing so won him nothing. He looks like what he is – a political hack thinking he’s clever for deciding to wait until he can’t be held politically accountable. But he isn’t fooling anyone – the GOP candidates running against the flailing liberals in the battleground states are going to beat their opponents around the head and shoulders with amnesty for the next two months.

Oh, and you never hear Obama or any of the other Democrats forthrightly talking about Obamacare. Ever. And just wait until the next round of premium increases kicks in.

Part of the GOP's current success has been its candidate selection. It has enlisted true warriors like Joni Ernst and Tom Cotton. It found up-and-comers like Corey Gardner. And, best of all, it managed not to nominate any lunatics. No one is running under the banner of fighting the Trilateral Commission, banning fluoride or investigating anyone’s birth certificate.

The GOP candidates are winning largely by not being aggressively stupid. This cycle, Republicans have somehow managed not to share any bizarre theories about female biology nor provide any idiosyncratic insights into the subject of rape. That’s a refreshing change.

This is really bad for the Democrats because this means that the bar for Republicans is so low all one has to do is not be a complete idiot. Most of them are, in fact, pretty bright, but the mainstream media is never going to let that cat out of the bag. You won’t hear how Tom Cotton went to Harvard in the New York Times. The best a Republican candidate can hope for is not to be painted as the kind of guy who stands on a street corner shouting that Obama was born in Mombasa.

As a Democrat, it must be a drag to realize that you're going to lose to anybody who manages to walk upright.

So, what can the Democrats do? The first thing they’ll do is run away from President Feckless. This guy is political poison. The only thing less appealing than getting a campaign visit from the President is going to the mailbox and finding a thick manila envelope from the local STD clinic.

“President Who? Obama? Never heard of him.”

Then they’ll pretend to be conservatives. Illegal aliens? “Against ‘em!” War in Iraq? “I’m for it again!” Common core? “Uh, look over there! Behind the squirrel!”

Oh, and we’ll also see the pinko kabuki theater in full effect. It started last week with the Senate’s consideration of a constitutional amendment to rein in that wacky First Amendment. Yeah, too much free speech is a huge problem. Next there will be a minimum wage increase debate designed to mobilize those achievers who think they have some sort of cosmic moral entitlement to $15 an hour for assembling Big Macs.

But these schemes aren’t going to work. We conservatives are going to romp to victory in November. And once we win, we need to make sure that our victory means something. What it must mean, to the extent Obama hasn't destroyed it himself, is the utter neutralization of the Obama administration. And who needs more incentive than that to get out and work for conservative victory?

I wouldn’t be too cocky. We have massive voter fraud in this country now.

Well-stated.

A Republican wave is not the same thing as a conservative wave. Sure, the GOP is going to benefit but it will fall right back into its usual position of accomodating Democrats, squandering its opportunity, and growing big government. It will be right back to status quo.

“Will this Conservative Ripple be large enough to overcome a tsunami of voter fraud?”
Doubt it.. If the electronic voting machines, serviced by SEIU, are programmed to turn every 3rd R vote to a D, it is more than enough to keep the D’s in the driver’s seat. Of course, that part of the program erases itself 2 minutes after poll closing time. Ask yourself, if you voted R and the machine changed it to a D, how could you or anyone else know? Darn! We almost won! Maybe next time.
I don’t think the bad guys are stupid enough to try and steal all the votes, yet, as they did in Philadelphia during the last election (not one R vote in 19 precincts), even though the RNC let them get clean away with it.

True that. The Republican agenda, such as it is, does not include the advancement of conservatism. In fact, its just the opposite.

If they don’t impeach and remove, then it’s all for nothing. It will be the last election I vote.

If the Pussies, oops I mean Pubbies, take the Senate we need another march on DC like we did on 9/12.

They need to fear us more than they fear Obama and his Brown Shirts in the media.

I hate to disappoint and discourage you, but there is no way Republicans will ever impeach him. The best we can hope for would be for a bipartisan group of senior politicians to pay him a visit, tell him he’s lost their support, and “strongly suggest” resignation. This may sound absurd, but if Obama is perceived as severaly damaging the Democrat party, believe me they will take whatever actions they have to (short of impeachment) to remove him to put out the fire. At that point its a matter of political survival.

I wouldn’t count my chickens before they have hatched as there are still as many if not more ignorant and dumb voters out there as before. Not to mention a substantial increase in the socialistic voter base which is on some form or another of governmental subsidies and handouts, and sorry to say they will vote for the hand which feeds them.

I understand what you’re saying. I was at that event. But I don’t hold out much hope for the Pubbies. They are duplicitious and not to be trusted. What have they done (besides lots of empty talk) in recent decades to promote the advancement of conservatism? They are mainly interested in maintaining the status quo and growing big government.

You might see it at the state level in TN, but not the national at least senator wise, lamar alexander did what thad cochran did to McDaniel’s to Conservative State Rep Joe Carr. Other wise Carr who ran a lousy campaign, would have barely beat him.,

He uses GOP and conservative as the same word. Solidly inaccurate unfortunately.

Then, without a doubt, this is your last election.

I agree with the idea that he deserves it, but unless he shoots somebody in the head on live television, he's as likely to be sent on a mission to Mars.

that reference is so dated and mostly obscure that I am wondering if he’s talking about somebody else

LOL! I thought the same thing! Why not a Jack Cassidy or Kevin Dobson gag?

It is not absurd, and the "preference cascade" may already have begun.

Remember when Obama abruptly flew to Washington during the first days of his Martha's Vineyard vacation? It's still a mystery as to why he did this. Perhaps there was a meeting in which prominent Democrats asked him to a)start to deal with ISIS, and b)back off the immigration amnesty issue?

He is destoying the party, clearly, maybe it took them this long to realize it. At any rate, if I'm right and such a meeting occurred, then it's just a matter of time before he's asked to contract some mysterious illness that won't permit him to continue in office.

Should a (forced) resignation ever occur, you’re right, the reason would be due to a “health issue”. We would hear some BS like “he’s exhausted from running the country and needs restorative care”. lol

But this still presents a big problem for Dems. Crazy Old Joe would be next in line. And he’s an outright lunatic.

You seriously underestimate the Democrat fraud machine. If the GOP was serious about winning (they aren't), they would have laid the groundwork for poll monitoring, especially in the traditional 100+% voter turnout districts (always urban, always 90% DEM, always utter BS). The GOP also should have had much stronger efforts at cleaning up the voter rolls, at voter ID requirements, and addressing the other 100 ways that the Left cheats every 2 years.
