Thanks, I love Neal.
"Undecided's" are not intelligent people looking for the last drops of fact. They are insipid morons who will decide based on the last soundbite they hear heading into the polling booth.
Best line:
“We are, my friends, about to have a president who doesnt qualify for a security clearance. Pretty pathetic. If Barack Obama becomes president, he would not even qualify to be his own bodyguard.”
thanks for posting. I’ve been looking (and praying) for the right thing to give to an undecided friend. (black woman who feels pulled to vote BHO in spite of her Christianity).
Another stirring homily from the “High Priest of the Church of the Painful Truth”. Thanks for posting this.
Go get ‘em Neal!!!!!
Second: "In 1994 the voters were fed up with Clinton and the Republicans swept to control of both houses of congress, largely on the strength of Newts Contract with America. Do you remember some of the promises?"
Yes but (there is always a but) -> what makes control possible is not just majorities but that magic 60 votes in the Senate, something which looks quite possible for the Democrats in this election.
From the 1994 election on, how many sessions have the GOP had that control? Never, maximum was 55 in the 1997-105th, 2001-107th and 2005-109th. Add to that the decline of the 'Scoop Jackson' Democrats and you have Senates that still leaned left due to people like Jeffords, Chaffey (New England GOP votes liberal). Thus the GOP had control and the blame but real politics shows that the Democrats still could block and had the media ever on their side!
Remember the 'shutdown' of the Government (Winter 1995/6) by the GOP House and Senate? What were the stories that the 'news' media carried? What parts of the government did the Clinton Administration actually shut down? Who won the PR Battle and so why have we conservatives NEVER had a REAL CONTROL of Congress?
This is the REAL DANGER of an Obama Presidency, it moves the 'goal posts'. Nothing is so permanent as a bureaucracy and its governmental mandate. Read the public words that found each and every 'social welfare' program and how all of its advocates talk about the strict limits to scope and cost. How quickly these precepts are forgotten by the next office-holders and bureaucrats who gain votes and money by expanding 'opportunity. We are warned but we are, I am afraid, DOOMED!
Pretty much turned my stomach and my ears off to Bortz.
