Obama won a much bigger victory than 2000 or 2004. Come on, lets not lie to ourselves. He took red states. It was a repudiation of Republicans. We must accept this if we are to fix the problem. This sort of think will not work which is why talk radio won’t touch it.

I certainly understand your point. But beyond that, if the rule of law, especially Constitutional law, has become politically “selectable” in its application, and the American citizen no longer has the right to demand support for its Constitution, we are finished as a nation of laws.
The law cannot be optional in a society based in law. There can be no shades of gray. And if we cannot count on the highest court in the land to do its sworn job, UNBIASED and independent of politics, we are no longer a nation based in law. That was my point.
He was elected by the MSM. They swept him into office. 99% of people voting for him knew virtually nothing about him, only what the media wanted them to hear, all just wonderful, great change & hope, he was the Second Coming. He won’t even show his birth certificate. Produced a fake on the net which gullible people think is the real thing.
It was not a repudiation of Republicans. The vote count for registered Republications was way down. In other words they stayed home.
Why? John McCain was a candidate you love for his service to the country but just can’t stand as a politician. It wasn’t so much that he voted with George Bush 90% of the time it was that on the very large issues we absolutely disagreed with him and were disgusted with his openly condescending and at times dismissive attitude.
On immigration he not only pushed for policies in direct opposition to the majority of Republican’s but he had the nerve to openly insult us. He told us that the workforce coming from of the border is absolutely essential as they are doing the work “Americans won’t do”. What John fails to see here is that we feel the issue is our soveriegnty and culture. Furthermore, he openly said that work could only be performed by Mexicans. Apparently, they are more qualified than Americans.
He said to everyone “My friends, you can’t do the work these fine people do. In fact, I challenge you to come and do the work they do. I will pay you $50 an hour and you will see, you can’t do it my friend”.
This retarded attitude had me thinking hmmm $50hr x 40hrs= $2,000 per week=$96,000 per year! Is he crazy? I would have took that offer but it would have meant a serious cut in pay.
McCain-Feingold? Well, what can I say except ain’t it a bitter irony to be undone largely by your own stupid law. This guy couldn’t come up enough money to compete with Obama because of it and alot of other politicians were hampered by it as well.
The best thing this guy ever did was bring someone like Sarah Palin to National prominence. She generated alot of excitement and motivated many of us engage in the electoral process when we had decided to sit this one out and let the chips fally where they fall.
Still McCain was such a disappointment that there just was not enough energy created and his potential voting base decided to go to the movies rather than watch his train wreck.
So Obama did not win decisevely so much as we had a dog with fleas for a candidate and no one wants to be near a dog with fleas.
