We’ve identified Democrats’ fatal Achilles’ heel in the upcoming elections: it’s Bubbies.
Nannas.
Gammas.
Irmas, Emmas, Constances, Heloises, Josephinas, Katherines, you name ‘em.
GRANDMOTHERS.
If grandmothers, coast to coast, many of whom have blind-voted Democrat for decades, can be convinced that the Democrat Party as it exists currently under Obama is a grave danger to the nation’s future…and the future of their beloved GRANDCHILDREN…we believe there will be no force on Heaven or this great Earth that can stop an army of motivated, sassy, ass-kicking blue hairs from decimating the Left in the elections to come.
Not just in November, but in 2012 as well…where we believe a grandmother from Wasilla will become our 45th president, with many a grandmother cheering her on to that win.
We’re not downplaying the importance of grandfathers. Or men in general. Heck, we’re all guys here ourselves. But, any man with any sense about him realizes the most powerful force in any family is its grandmothers. The lucky amongst us get two of these powerhouses to guide, mentor, smuther, and dote on us as we grow up.
Some are as sugary sweet as the cookies they bake. Others are more sass than molasses, and “tells it like it is”, whether you “wants to hears it or not”. Some grannies are ribald and saucy; others are quiet, frail, and kind.
All of these women raised children of their own, and now have the perspective to see their brood raise young of their own…and from that vantage point they realize all of their mistakes, and appreciate all of their successes, and have more wisdome and grace from that perch than we could ever hope to imagine.
In every family we’ve known, the grandmothers have held court. When they speak, the TV is turned down and people listen. They are unafraid to speak their minds, because just about every person in the room owes their very existence to them, in one way or another. Many of these women were single moms, or worked a few jobs to put kids through school, and now on limited incomes they still manage to spoil their grandchildren as much as they can.
We loved our grandmothers so very much, more than we could ever tell you here. It’s the greatest and most awesome compliment any of us ever receives when someone from our pasts tells us they see a little of those ladies in us…particularly when we refuse to back down when faced by bullies, or let the Left get away with sacking and pillaging this country.
Because our grandmothers, if alive today, would be raising Hell right now. Though they didn’t have access to the Internet, didn’t regularly appear on TV or the radio, and were rarely interviewed by anyone for anything, these ladies carried enormous sway in their communities.
* They were part of Ladies’ Guilds.
* They were church ladies in coffee clubs
* They walked up and down the streets of their neighborhoods talking to EVERYONE
* They chatted people up in supermarkets, laundromats, and craft stores
* They gave their opinions at bake sales and community centers
* They talked with other people’s families in their nursing homes, when they got too old to live alone
Very few of these grandmothers had direct control over anyone: they couldn’t ORDER people to do anything, of course. But, their grandmotherly influence was a power that was difficult for most people to resist.
If Grandma looked you directly in the face, with pain clear and present, and tears in her sparkling gray eyes and told you that Obama and Democrats were destroying the country, risking her health, costing her more of the little money she had, and making her sick to her stomach with worry about what would happen to your future…wouldn’t you listen to her?
Even if you were the most far-gone Obama cultist, wouldn’t grandma be able to get through, if even just for a moment?
We know grandmothers are America’s secret weapon, Lady Liberty’s handmaidens, and in many ways our last if not only hope.
Many of these women were riveters and homefront workers during WWII. They saved this nation from the evils of Germany’s Fuhrer and the Emperor of Japan. They helped crush the Soviet Union. Their love, hardwork, and guidance helped create the prosperous days those of us in our 30s and 40s were raised in. If not for grandmothers, none of this would be possible.
And though they are old now, and they should be enjoying their peaceful retirements, they need to be summoned into action and mobilized one last time.
To save us all.
An unprecedented, concerted effort needs to be mounted on a grassroots level to turn every grandmother in this country against the Democrats. And every one of these opinonated, familial powerhouses needs to be loosed upon their relatives horrified by what Obama has done to the country and terrified at just how at risk their grandchildren are at for losing access to the American dream.
Women who fought so hard, worked such long hours, and sacrificed so much to raise their families are not about to let all of that collapse, just when their grandchildren are on the cusp of, or entering, the workforce.
If we grassroots activists can activate grandmothers — and convince them that the Democrat Party has been taken over by Leftists, who want to tank our economy and rob their grandchildren of their futures — then we truly and firmly believe the spirt of these grandmothers will shake reason into many households.
Every grandmother needs to become a surrogate speaker for the Resistance.
Let MSNBC, CNN, the New York Times, and the rest of the wishcasting State Media try to compete with that.
But the key here is HOW we activate all of these grandmothers. Some can be found online, or in message boards, but how do we reach the vast majority of them?
It feels like we’re going to need to get out into our communities as surrogate speakers and start doing talks in nursing homes, centers, church groups, and wherever else these women assemble. We’re going to have to get creative, and undertake an effort that, to our knowledge, has never been done.
But, if we can get grandmothres coast to coast on our side, and we can convince them to hector their families against the Democrats, there’s a damn good chance the upcoming elections will be “historic and unprecedented” in ways the current egomaniacal “historic and unprecedented” “president” can’t even imagine.
Start brainstorming.
Give us some ideas on how to reach the grandmothers and activate them.
How can we get these Grandma Grizzlies into the battle to save America, this one last time?
The best way is IF the grandmas have figured out that we have to sh!tcan the Democrats without voting the Republicans back in to do us in again so that people finally throw up their arms and vote the rats back in again.
The two-party system is a humbug—always has been—there is no lesser of evils, they are both evil as they come!
Vote for Mr FLIM or Mr FLAM—same result, one is more obvious than the other...to some.
Take control by voting only independents in!
Now is the best time now that the usurper has run things so far intothe ground that this should be obvious to all—this may be our last chance—IF indeed we get just one more NOvember!
How many chances do y’all think we are gonna get?
Read the following and it response, links,eyc.
Then THINK!!!!

I believe my tagline will bury Dems with most demographics.
Stimulus. 0bamaCare. Cap and Tax. 9/11 Victory Mosque. TARP. Amnesty. Summer of Recovery.
Remember the “great schlep”, or (whatever it was called) prior to the 2008 elections? Dems were URGING Jewish young folks to “schlep” to their parents and grandparents to convince them to vote for the “Won”....and I guess it worked.
I think Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs called for a “Reverse-Schlep” at some point.
That’s what this sounds like. Hope it works.
I say tell granny the “Won” has a couple of former gay lovers (alleged) who were murdered (allegedly), in an effort to keep his “secret” prior to the election (allegedly)— maybe her mind will be changed if the sad state of the economy doesn’t “do it” for her.
Yeah. Wrinkled radical here.
Must remind them of the euthenasia programs that the Dems are promoting so eagerly. That should wake them up.
Two words: ‘death panels’...want to shut them down? Vote Republican like your life depends on it...because it does.
Push the unemployment angle and the Grandmoms will vote Republican.
Two words: ‘death panels’...want to shut them down? Vote Republican like your life depends on it...because it does.
Needs to be said again, good one.
She may already have trouble finding a doctor as many clinics are no longer taking Medicare patients.

Absolutely true in our county.
