It’s a mistake to try to identify issues and then run on them. That’s pandering and it’ll never work. The Dems have way more practice lol. You run on principle, you run on truth. You run on the real America. What you do is show the public that GOP/conservative issues ARE their issues.
Where is the real America anymore? I’m beginning to wonder! I used to think we had an inner core, a “sleeping giant”. The only trouble is, where is it? It came alive after 9/11; but seems to have gone back to sleep, with drugs, or it’s dead!
If it’s not asleep or dead, where is it? It certainly seems to have disappeared last week! As I said, in my own opinion, I think it’s been drugged back to sleep, or it’s dead! If 20% of conservatives voted for Obama, more than 50% of the nation in general put him in the WH, then maybe that vast, silent majority doesn’t exist anymore. Either it’s gone back to sleep, or been drugged! Worse still, nobody can explain why they voted that way!
I can realize why maybe Republicans have lost their soul. Maybe we got fat and lazy with power. But not all of them! That doesn’t explain some of the wooly-headed reasoning of why they chose a far-left man like Obama at a time where we seem to be still in danger as a nation.
Or is it because so many people don’t see the danger, or just don’t care, that they could vote for someone like that! We are safer in many ways, so maybe we did something right. But we are not out of the woods yet! We’re not out of danger enough to be fooling around with ideologies! I don’t know. But if that (now mythical)silent majority or sleeping giant exists, then where is it now? Where was it on election day? It either doesn’t exist anymore, or it went left-wing! Hopefully, we will find out soon. Also hopefully, it can be awakened again before it’s too late!
