How much could the country have changed in the 8 years since Bush got re-elected? Let’s put aside all the people who have gone on government assistance in the past 4 years due to the recession, as I refuse to believe that a majority of those people have an entitlement mentality, as opposed to simply not being able to find work or pay their bills.
Are there that many more public workers today than there were in 2004? That many more people on Medicare? That many more people living on Social Security?
If the entitlement mentality is so strong, Scott Walker would have gotten destroyed in the recall election. Or better yet, he never would have gotten elected in the first place, in a year when Republicans never would have made their biggest midterm gains in 70 years.
If we’ve reached the point of no return, with the takers outnumbering the makers, why does Chris Christie have the highest approval rating of any governor in New Jersey since they started taking polls?
If we’ve reached the point of no return, shouldn’t Occupy Wall St. have more political clout than the Tea Party?
If all these people are so happy to be getting government handouts, why couldn’t Obama fill the stadium? Why is his fundraising lagging? If we’re right on the verge of a Cloward-Piven economic collapse, why isn’t Soros writing a check for 300 million to help Obama get elected, so he can push us over the edge?
It just doesn’t add up.
Scott Walker is a an effective conservative communicator with a record to offer as proof.
Romney is no Scott Walker.
