The Real Meaning of This Election (Vanity)

Spot on!

[Bonaparte]

"...the general public sees cooperation as a good thing, and that they are pleased to see Clinton and Dad Bush working together."

The general public may indeed be pleased. And if GHWB likes to hang out with known psychopathic rapists, that's certainly his privilege. Afterall, he is a grown man.

[Miss Marple]

Good information! We need to understand that the ladnscape has changed!

[Miss Marple]

Late, but here is your ping!

[Bonaparte]

"... If you had expected the nomination of Harriet Miers, and it had been adequately explained to you... "

Perhaps. But it wasn't adequately explained, not before or after the fact. And you're right -- I do want consistency between campaign promises and subsequent policies. I also want unity within the party, but not at the expense of underwriting liberalism, which is what we've been getting from the GOP in Congress and the White House. Read what the GOP says in its party platform about controlling spending and then just look at how much of our money they have flushed down the toilet. Just those three bills alone (farm, prescription, education) come to roughly one TRILLION wasted dollars that people like us had to go out and earn. If that isn't GOP arrogance, then I don't know what is.

I think the Republicans ran right, governed mid-left by spending like drunken sailors and ignoring such things as illegal immigration, tax reform, and winning (NOT maintaining) the war in Iraq.

Truth is....the Dems will totally misread the results and start governing hard-Left. This will destroy them in 2008.

" To bring them back, the pubbies need to control the spending and slow down the pork

The only spending the Libertarians will agree to at this time is the military and the fence.."

Well said.

We should start now for 2008 to find district by district "friendly" candidates like Rahm Emmanuel did to us.

Assuming that all politics are local, we should get to work.

Here Soros and friends were caught starting the campaign for the 2006 wins...IMO

BILLIONAIRES SECRETLY MET IN ASPEN TO DEFEAT BUSH

10/19/04 from The New Yorker Magazine

In the days following the Democratic Convention in Boston this past August, several billionaire Democratic activists secretly met at the famed Aspen Institute in Colorado...their clandestine meeting ... the New Yorker magazine reports in its most recent edition.

Details of the meeting remain sketchy... The Aspen meeting was supposed to have been a top secret within Democratic party circles.

When The New Yorker inquired about the meeting, an assistant to one of the attendees was surprised by the call.

"No one was supposed to know about this,” the aide told the magazine. "We don’t want people thinking it’s a cabal or some sort of Masonic plot!”

Apparently the leader of the secret cabal is billionaire Peter B. Lewis; the chairman of the Cleveland, Ohio-based insurance company, the Progressive Corporation.

Like another attendee, George Soros, the wealthy financier, Lewis has poured millions into Democratic 527 groups, including Americans Coming Together and Moveon.org.

Another billionaire who attended was John Sperling, founder of the online University of Phoenix.

Also present were Herb and Marion Sandler from California. The couple founded the Golden West Financial Corporation, a California Bank reportedly worth $17 billion.

Still, the wealthiest and most notable of those attending the meeting was George Soros, the 74-year-old Hungarian immigrant who desperately wants to defeat George Bush and has even compared him to the likes of Adolph Hitler.

Apparently, all was not roses at the billionaire confab, according to The New Yorker.

"The billionaires spent much of the time moaning the superior powers of the GOP,” the magazine said, and the group even needed some cheerleading from Harold Ickes, a former top aide to Bill Clinton who is involved in the 527 efforts.

The magazine said Soros had planned to keep a low profile in the closing months of the election, but suddenly changed course this summer when he decided to "jettison the strategy in favor of waging his own media-grabbing political campaign.”

Soros sees Bush as the face man for a secret cabal. "Bush was just chosen as a figurehead, an acceptable face for sinister group,” Soros told The New Yorker, adding, "Cheney is the Capo.”

Clearly Soros knows a thing or two about secret cabals and Capos.

Great analysis.

[george76]

Here are two examples of many excellent finds by kcvl ...IMHO :

George Soros' ties to Libertarian "anti-war" groups like Lewrockwell.com are a concern for cause. Soros is merging the ideals of hardline Socialism and Libertarianism which is suppose to be the exact opposite of hardline Socialism into a Libertarian-Socialist.

It is through this merging Soros and his associates are enabled to infiltrate other political circles besides Democratic, Liberal and Leftist circles within America and elsewhere around the world.

Soros' influence over at Lewrockwell.com with Soros' anti-War on Drug status is a major concern. Soros is tied to "alternative anti-drug" groups that are not honest on the affects on illegal drugs onto the American public. These drugs include mostly maijuana, but can include cocaine to what these "alternative" groups advocate.

Soros' Open Society Institute funds these "alternative" groups and encourages for the "drug alternative" to the current anti-drug groups like DARE.

More evidence can be looked right here:

" Yes, it is okay to make criticisms of the Republican Party and the President.

But it's only useful in a constructive way and not to harp none stop ..."

I agree.

We should make this a learning experience. This is the opportunity now to listen to the voters outside of the beltway.

Most of the seats that we lost should be available in 2008 if we can find good local mayors, governors ( like Jeb Bush ), and other leaders to run for congress or the senate.

I really never understand why states like North Dakota have two rats in the Senate. States and congressional districts that have been voting for Bush should be ours.

May I be the first to post a result from Election Eve, 2008:

"John Kerry (D-Massholechusetts) wins another six year term to the U.S. Senate, defeating Libertarian candidate Mike Cloud 73% to 27%."

Here's one from Election Eve, 2006:

"Fat Teddy Kennedy (D-Massholechusetts) wins another six year term to the US Senate, defeating Republican candidate Ken Chase 69% to 31%."

That's a slight improvement from 2000, when it was Kennedy 73%, Jack E. Robinson (R) 13%, Carla Howell (L) 12%."

Good post. I think you nailed quite a few points!

The Democrats worked hard to beat us and we stood around in disbelief as they succeeded.

Now Republicans are blaming the border bots, conservatives or anyone else they can think of.

I think that there has been a huge disconnect with the American public with the WOT and the Iraq war,on one hand, and on the other, letting people, possible terrorists, swarm, unimpeded across our borders, caused many people to turn off, not show up to vote, or to vote Democrat in protest.

I think that many people are upset about illegal immigration and logically, can't see why we've been prosceuting one war but don't seem to give two hoots about this problem.

[TAdams8591]

Good analysis, brief and to the point. Best yet. The negative effect of the media on the perception of the war coupled with the fact that as of late it also has not been going well, is the only other thing I would add.

[TAdams8591]

"I'm inclined to think that the habit of telling their unhappy base to take a hike just finally paid off for the GOP."

Really good point. Santorum literally said, 'Just let them go.'

[TAdams8591]

And if the General Public didn't see Clinton and Papa Bush working together, not only would they take no offense, they wouldn't give it a thought.

Thanks for the ping.
