Cybercast News Service ^ | December 30, 2012 | Terence P. Jeffrey

With the federal government approaching the so-called “fiscal cliff,” when federal income tax rates will increase across-the-board back to the level they were under President Bill Clinton, President Barack Obama’s disapproval has climbed 5 points in the Gallup polled since Christmas. …

They're asking us to believe that all of the undecides broke for an incumbent, which has never happened, and that fewer people voted for RR than for John McCain which I can't believe either. I believe a lot of GOP votes simply fell into bit buckets, the system is basically broken.

Democracy is a good system for governing a relatively homogeneous people with shared ideals and values; it is not a reasonable system for sharing power between two or more groups with nothing in common at all who basically just hate eachother. At that point, all you have left is a contest to see who can do the better job of gaming the system, and the dems are simply much better at that than we will ever be.

No marriage this bad would last five seconds and we should be thinking about ways to affect a divorce without a second civil war. Red/blue county maps show the dems owning something like 20-25 population centers and little other real estate outside of that, and they should not be running our lives on that basis.

Truth to tell, I still think the election was stolen. Too many things just don't add up about it. NOBODY thought Obama was going to win. NOBODY! And then *POOF* it happens. I don't buy it. Not for a minute.

I agree. Can't put my finger, or toes, on it, but it sure seemed fishy.

The election was stolen by 385,000 votes in 5 states and no one can prove otherwise. The truth is the truth... and being the truth... no media or politician will ever state the truth... the truth is not in them.

I will NEVER leave this Republic unless it is to go to Jesus. I will stand with Patrick Henry... some things are worth fighting for and some thing are worth dying for. Imagine if Washington had looked at that icy river and at his tattered and starving troops and said, “It's over boys... we can't win... let's go home”.

I figure around July when these Obama voters get hit by higher taxes, the Obamacare plan coming more into, and Grandma starts getting rationed care, more people out of work because the Small business;s folding up. About then the S will start HTF effect.

Even the reps in DC are letting him get away with wrecking the country.

They are aiding and abetting him, in both parties.

The coming fights over then Second Amendment will be the true turning point for the country, and will determine its future.

Happy New Year to you.

This is identical to the "John Kerry really won the election" argument in 2004. And just as foolish.

Let's learn from what the shocked, unbelieving Democrats did after THEIR "I can't believe it" election:

1) They stopped pandering to the "middle" No more "reporting for duty" embarrassments..
2) They developed the passion of their base with very energetic propaganda techniques.
3) They understood that the "independents" were not high-information sophisticates analyzing every detail of public policy, but rather a herd of stupid adolescent-level sheep, waiting to be told by their betters what was cool and what to do.
4) They went looking for votes where the consultants said there were not any.
5) They chose a leader who, like Reagan, like LBJ, like FDR, like (yes) Lincoln, was committed to his worldview above all things and would not bend an inch on his (Marxist) fundamentals.

The Democrats learned a lot from their (to them) astonishing defeat. May we do the same.

Check with President Kerry on that one.

Look, Barry and his boys "got" the undecideds and Team Romney did not.

Kissing up to women at the convention and taking no strong stands on anything gave the "undecideds" much, much more credit than they deserved.

They were (and are) a herd of sheep, waiting to be told what to think and what to do, Axelrod understood this in detail, Romney did not.

End of story.

HNY to you and yours my friend. We will endure and one day... we will defeat obama and his minions. Pain is coming but even as bad as it can and will get... we will face nothing like Washington and our Founder’s faced. They endured and so will we... with the help of GOD and Patriots.

As I say to my liberal friends, 105% of all registered voters in Plilly can't be wrong.

“when these Obama voters get hit by higher taxes”

What I am hearing is that it will be a buried tax.... it will not be an income tax... but a VAT + a carbon tax...

No telling what may come about.

The one that scares me is the transaction tax.

Get the public all hyped- up about how the world is about to end at Fiscal Cliff time (and then jet off to Hawaii for rounds of golf and R&R) and this is bound to happen.

Just goes to show we could have beaten this guy with even a moderately competent effort from the GOP.

Years ago conservative Republicans were talking about replacing the income tax by VAT, and the left naturally were against it. Now the left is open to VAT but of course the left will keep the income tax to divide the working people into the “rich” and the “middle class”.

The Obozo supporters are incapable of connecting the dots that they have to pay their masters through higher taxes built into their daily purchases...they will continue to be told and believe it is greedy corporations.
