I have to admit, I didn't think his numbers would tank so far so soon. I'm not ready to be hopeful about 2012 yet, but am at least cautiously optimistic (i.e. optimistic but don't want the killing blow of depression that follows an outcome I don't want) about 2010.
I like the analysis in this article, but I still think some people are missing the point--Obama's plan to gut the nation is being performed brilliantly, not with incompetence.
I've never bought this. It's been what some people want to hear, aka pandering; that's not the same as being inspirational.
His stupid Greek platform in Colorado should have been a clue. The American people are easily duped with pie.
I personally know of NO ONE that did that. Do you?
No, but there obviously were millions who did, else how are we in this dire situation? President Bush won in 1988 and he was as much a RINO as Senator McCain. Say what you will of Senator McCain, he at least served his country in uniform, was commander of a large squadron and had the smarts to pluck Governor Palin out of relative obscurity. What had then Senator Obama ever accomplished besides two election wins and agitating on behalf of ACORN and unions?
Someone on another thread had a great saying that’d make a fantastic bumper sticker: “It Takes A Spillage”
Well, don’t worry. Lots of FReepers proclaim Obama was better than McCain because Reagan was going to reincarnate and McCain was to much of a Rino. Good Luck with all that.
We lost that election because...
...we put forth a loser of a candidate; only Palin kept it from being a complete rout.
...the MSM waged the biggest propaganda campaign in the history of the planet, literally.
...the Democrats and the MSM created a fictitious economic crisis, blamed it on Republicans. (Then the fictitious crisis became real and put the global economy into a tailspin.)
This time IMHO it had little to do with staying home or third-party candidates.
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has spent time observing Liberals. It is a very common feature for Liberals to entertain conflicting ideas, just as it is common for these conflicts to manifest itself in any number of ways, including speechwriting...
“...Obama brings to the job. Instead of action and responsible decision-making, Obama naturally turns to Congressional-staff crafted legislative solutions, commissions and committee-hearings — exactly the kind of approaches designed to insulate elected politicians from the ramifications of a vote or a decision. It’s the difference between a leader and a follower, between someone confident enough to make a decision and live with the consequences, and someone who wants to cover their ass, between an executive who says: “I decided” and a legislator who says: “They recommended.” “
Good point.
Q: Why did the gentleman wear a tuxedo to his vasectomy?
A: "If I'm gonna be impotent, I'm gonna look impotant.."
You pretty much nailed it.
Obama the Omnimpotent
...and Obama is our Spillage Idiot.
Turnout in 2008 was not lower than normal. There was no meaningful third party vote in the 2008 presidential election. The 53% of the people who cast votes for Obama made a conscious choice to vote for him.
McCain was a poor candidate and many conservatives held their nose to vote for McCain as they believed him the lesser of two evils. I’ve seen no analysis demonstrating enough conservatives stayed home to shift the election to Obama. More likely, many white voters made a conscious choice to vote for the first African American president joining the overwhelming majority of blacks who voted for race instead of policy. This is the consequence of 40 years of racial and ethnic identity politics and years of political correctness indoctrination.
Dr. King’s dream of a color blind society seems more distant today than it did when he made his “I Have a Dream” speech in the 1960’s. Like Dr. King I dream of a day when we judge people by their character, not the color of their skin. Unfortunately we are becoming more polarized on racial lines, not less. It appear I, like Dr. King will not live to see a world in which racial identity is meaningless.
<< No, but there obviously were millions who did, else how are we in this dire situation? >>
Actually, more people came out to vote in 2008 than any other election in history, so what the heck are you talking about?
We’re in this dire situation because the country was tired of Bush and because John McCain sucked ass as a candidate. I’m sure White Guilt came into play, as well, but nevertheless, the issue isn’t how we got INTO this situation; the issue is how we get OUT of it.
The November elections will be the first step. After that, we can begin to focus on 2012.
