I think he’s got it right.
Till the republicans take charge again, then America becomes liberal again.
Try “American is a ‘what’s in it for me’ country”
What would the election have been like had there been no ACORN, no Black Panther thugs, etc.?
Worth repeating--but we must not simply accept that it was due to the fact that it was primarily a result of the "liberal media." Even now, folks like many at Fox continue to claim that he campaigned as a centrist or moderate, giving cover to the claim that American citizens bought something other than what they are getting.
No, he campaigned as who he was--a part-term Senator whose voting record was the most liberal of any of the Senators, who appeared over and over at meetings of Far Left groups and stated the reasons why their members should vote for him.
Yes, he made, and continues to make, statements using the semantics and "words" of conservatives, but anyone other than the most gullible citizen must be held responsible for projecting upon him whatever their own views were. He certainly had no history or documentation for being anything but a person whose redistributionist ideas would dominate his presidency.
Fox's "fair and balanced" crew do a disservice when they misrepresent what happened, for it may tend to perpetuate the notion that voters are mere innocents who have no obligation to dig behind a candidate's words before they hand over the power that goes with political office at the highest level. Facts and records are powerful things. If ABC, CBS, NBC and the other now "fringe" media don't see fit to warn the citizenry of dangers to their liberty, then the media that is truly "mainstream" must step up to the plate and do a better job of alerting citizens to the contrast between the politician's words and all previous actions.
The Founders said "an enlightened and informed" citizenry would be required to protect liberty. Two hundred years is a long time, but their words remain legitimate guides today.
“America Remains a Conservative Country”
The people do, but not the government. Therein lies a big problem.
From what he says, it sounds as if many (too many?) people don’t pay much attention to politics, and when November Presidential election comes around after four years of not thinking about politics, maybe they think they can have a Liberal President believing like Ronald Reagan.
It’s absurd, but maybe true.
It's just as I said at the time - you can run as "not-Bush" but you can't govern as "not-Bush." It isn't a position, it's a reflection.
As Rush says, Americans live right and vote left - this last time they voted more left than usual never dreaming the one would be as extreme as he’s been.
Here’s a good rule of thumb: disenchantment with the GOP is not the same thing as a shift to the left. Especially when the last guy in the White House was named Bush.
“Because America remains a conservative country...”
Horsefeathers. Who in the heck voted for so many da*n Democrats in the last election?
Still conservative? Wait until 2010 when they vote in more Democrats. (When they pull the lever for Democrats they feel so intellectual, so brilliant.)
IMHO
He accuses the electorate of being schizophrenic...I believe they were simply fed up with the false choice situation...and a certain number were also genuinely duped by the Main Socialist Media coverup of the realties of the Obama communist affiliation. Look at how they were able to tar and feather Joe the Plumber..in the minds of some “independents”...despite him merely asking a question of...and disagreeing with the redistribution mantra of the annointed one.
