The people have spoken and have no clue as to what they have really said. They swallowed promises of jelly beans and ice cream by a vendor who has never produced anything but a shiny brightly colored facade from which he is selling empty air. Actually it took Middle Eastern money, Marxist subversives, corrupt Chicago Political Machine, Chicago mobsters, and a lot of hard, devious work on the behalf of Obama Husain Obama to convince “don’t confuse me with the facts” masses to pull the lever for a man who has no accomplishments in his wake except for self promotion.
The reason Obama won was not because he is the better person to be president. He won because he had one goal and one goal only and that was to win. He started his ascendency a long time ago. Republicans have not been watchful and let things get out of control. He organized and made coalitions with as many groups he found that could help him. He cared not what the groups stood for or their goals. He befriended them, used them, and discarded them as it benefited him. The Republican candidate has a moral view of “fairness” that guided his campaign. This and the events that lead to the economic condition defeated our candidate.
The main reason for McCain’s defeat was that the word Republican became synonymous with failed policies, over spending, greed, and a general disregard for the people. Strange because it is the Democrats who are guilty of all these things, not that our Republican legislators and administration didn’t contribute to that Republican image. For the last three decades the American public has been programmed by our educational system for a class struggle pitting the all citizens against those who have succeeded more than the rest of us.
This has fermented a mental state where the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness has been expanded to a right of property and goods that others may possess. It is easy to persuade a public that is dissatisfied with the current situation. Remember there has never been a revolution by a satisfied public. When the public does not feel empowered it is difficult to convince them that they should be self-reliant. Regardless of the reasons or whose fault, Americans saw the surge in our country’s wealth turn into foreclosures and bankruptcies. The public felt powerless and our government’s efforts failed to make a turn around.
Distribution of wealth became very attractive. Whether that will ultimately be the result or not is to be seen. What will happen is that taxes will be increased and spending on things that can not be seen as a direct and immediate benefit to the people (such as military expenditures etc.) will be cut drastically. A definite push towards more of a socialistic America will be made starting with an attempt to socialize the health services. It will happen more slowly than some expected but the trend will start almost immediately.
One wonders what is worse, the things that he said he would do (raise taxes, bankrupt the coal industry, cut military spending including future weapons development, socialize medicine, etc), the things that he may do since he has no experience in anything but self promotion, or waiting for both of these events to happen. I have decided not to worry about what might happen or when (easy to say but hard to do). I will prepare myself to act at the time that this empty suit attempts to mess up this country. Hopefully you all, who now feel disenfranchised, will join me in this endeavor. We must be prepared to counter his attempts to put this country on a path to socialism and destruction. We have to have courage and not be afraid to put our names on petitions, letters, faxes, and emails to all the legislators and government officials. United we will be able to stem the destruction of our Constitution that was so well thought out by our forefathers, fought for, and defended by men and women who risked all to create a new and different way of life that has not been seen before.
Now is the time to start. Now is the time to seek out and mold new and inspiring men and women to represent us. The Democrats got into power in California by seeding the ground. Step by step slowly they moved in. By grooming and electing their own to the school boards, community colleges, city councils, police chiefs, mayors, assembly, and the state senate.
Oh how I will miss articles like this one after Obama shuts us down. If we are going to go down, I hope we don’t go quietly!I don’t know who I’m more angry at, Obams for telling lie after lie to get elected or the stupid voters that bought those lies.
The main reason for McCain’s defeat was that the word Republican became synonymous with failed policies, over spending, greed, and a general disregard for the people.
therefore we’ll vote for the Democrats who want to spend even more money.
The American voter knows what he wants, and he should get it deep and hard.
-paraphrasing H.L. Mencken
And, a total lack of belief in conservative principles, like the free-market system and limited government.
That is why McCain, and Bush, supported the massive socialist bailout of the banking system, against the wishes of grasroots conservatives.
That's why McCain lost.
so did Obama but that didn’t hurt him.
Best President money could buy...
It hurt McCain because it proved McCain’s certified “moderate” bonafides.
Why vote for a wishy-washy almost Democrat, when you can have the real thing?
oh, but that was the “reasoning” many normally Republican types did vote for Obama. A few in my own family, unfortunatey. Guess they figured they may as well vote for the real thing, not Dem lite.
You can have all the pie you want.
Yum, Jelly Bellies. Reagan seemed to like them.
“The American voter knows what he wants, and he should get it deep and hard.
-paraphrasing H.L. Mencken”
Indecent- def. “When it is long enough and hard enough and in far enough, it is In Decent!”
This is the Perfect Storm in the making.
Obama is going to be extremely unpopular in about a year out time, and Democrats will be doing everything to not be tagged to him.
I think people who wanted less govt just stayed home and the people who wanted handouts came out in force
People also probably thought that mccain just didn’t know what he was doing while Obama was calm and stable as he stuck to his script. The burden for republicans is that they have to solve problems while democrats simply take advantage of them.
Actually, I prefer the term Moron.
Have a childhood friend whom I have stopped talking to after she informed me that she was a democrat and would vote democrat.
I figured that it would be best if I stopped talking to her, that way I would not have to tell her I think she is a moron.
