I'll try to answer that 'why'. Others may be able to do it more succinctly, but I'll give it a whirl.
Do you remember how Al Gore successfully legalized about a million Mexican immigrants right before the election? That was only a million. By now, there's an estimated 20 million illegal immigrants in this country. The real figure is more like twice that. When Obama announces his intention to sign the reform bill to legalize those illegals, millions MORE will flood across the border. I figure about 50 million or more illegal immigrants will become American citizens ala Zero. Do you really think we'll have a snowballs' chance in hell of winning an election after that? We're talking raw numbers here. There are just so many of us, and just so many of the Independents .....and millions more DemocRat voters coming up on the horizon.
That, plus the fact that under Obama Deathcare, many of us babyboomers will be conveniently killed off with their death panels and rationing of treatment. Couple that with another mysterious release of an odd strain (read man-made) of flu ....and our numbers will be decreased, even without consideration of how many of us will refuse to take the mandatory health coverage and will probably end up in Zero's gulag.
I'm sorry. I really hate to be (and to feel) this negative and pessimistic. I hate the fact that I'm a realist. My dad used to accuse me of living in a dream world when I was young. Hard to believe, eh? I was a regular Polyanna once. No, I wasn't a liberal. I was just non-political.
That was BEFORE I became aware of the political situation and reality in this country, even though I've always hated communists for some reason. I empathized with the people of Russia especially, but it was so removed that I never knew why I hated them. I never understood why I felt so strongly against communism until now.
I'd have given almost anything to be able to go back to that time once... and be able to be a dreamer again.... blissfully ignorant of reality. It's a much healthier place to be emotionally, spiritually and ulcer-wise. But collective head in the sand 'la-la-land' mentality is what got us into this disaster in the first place. And being healthy one minute doesn't mean you can't be dead the next. I couldn't go back there now. I'm a different person and I know too much to want to. The genie is out of the bottle.
That, plus the fact that under Obama Deathcare, many of us babyboomers will be conveniently killed off with their death panels and rationing of treatment.

Do you really think anything like HR 3962 will pass the Senate? Only if we let it.
Do you think 50 million illegals will suddenly become legal after this MASSIVE fight for the health care system stretches well into next year? Only if we let it happen.
We have a MASSIVE say in these matters.
Elections matter.
So do STUPID, ASSANINE bills matter. They matter to elections. 2010 is our time.
Let’s make *that* happen.
