One week to go for the imminent decision on the new course that Americans will take their country. And there really are only two options nationally; the beginnings of recovery for a badly bruised intellect – or – unbridled bat guano crazy.
While the sparkle has come off Barack Obama’s crown, voters no longer have the opportunity to vote him off the throne. But next week, citizens will decide whether to checkmate the President by giving the Republicans a majority in the United States Senate. Here are seven reasons that America will vote Republican this year:
1. National Defense – This primary responsibility of the federal government has been effectively mismanaged for a good six years now. The world has always had an abundance of narcissistic jerks bent on world domination. But between 1783 and 2008, they operated more like delusional street-crazies. Their lusts were tethered by the knowledge that if they acted on their impulses, the United States military would shock them back to bearable behavior. But evil villains are evidently not intimidated by our current Sissy In Chief. The President will need the added pressure of Republican control in both houses of Congress to support his international spine.
2. Health care –Now that the Democrats have invited government bureaucrats into every one of our body cavities, it is time for the citizens to respond as if they still have some measure of self-esteem. Ideally, Obamacare will be uprooted and replaced with free-market systems in 2017. But while the President has two years left to complete his vision of socialized medicine, it is critical that both chambers of Congress are controlled by the loyal opposition.
3. National debt of $17,000,000,000,000 – Only a conservative-controlled Congress will bother to develop a plan to recover from the current 17 trillion dollar debt. And only a balanced budget constitutional amendment would deliver the nation from its current path of self-destruction. With the possibility of a Republican president and Republican controlled congress just two years away, we cannot afford to miss the rare opportunity to entertain a balanced budget amendment.
4. Energy – Controlling Washington’s ridiculous spending spree is only one half of the solution necessary to recover from America’s enormous debt. Paying down all those zeros will require an economic explosion akin to the dot-com era. Fortunately, the nation is sitting on natural resources that can provide exactly that. And displacing the religious environmentalist Democrats with pragmatic business Republicans will release America’s natural entrepreneurial spirit to pull energy out of the ground and sell it to the rest of the world for a tidy profit.
5. Supreme Court Justice Nominees – We are extremely fortunate to have made it this far with only two Supreme Court Justices having been appointed by the radical President Obama. The ages of the remaining justices dictate that more replacements are imminent. In the unfortunate circumstance where Barack Obama would nominate one or more additional justices, a Republican Senate would be able to non-consent another Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
6. Illegal Immigration – By now, it should only be a mystery to the New York Times that the Democratic Party has been flooding the U.S. with illegal immigrants toward increasing their voter base. Even Republican senators will need reminding from their base to behave according to the party platform on this topic. But a conservative majority in the Senate could help get the nation back to inviting only those who will contribute to the American dream rather than overwhelm our culture with conflicting interests.
7. Epic Lame Duck Syndrome – Elected officials who have no fear of voter reprisal in the final phase of their term will sometimes take actions that would otherwise ruin their chances of re-election. The last significant example of this is Bill Clinton’s impressive list of pardons and commutations for an unsavory group of thieves, tax cheats and drug traffickers. But the Obama Administration reportedly has plans to go non compos mentis as he golfs his way to the finish line. With unprecedented arrogance and a demonstrated disregard for the Constitution, only a Republican majority in both the House and the Senate will be able to withstand the behavior that promises to fly out of the West Wing between now and noon on January 20, 2017.
I no longer vote “Republican”.
I will vote for any candidate that is 80% conservative. Unfortunately, so very many RINOpublicans fail that test and are not worthy of a vote.
Understatement of the day.
Get these clowns on record now, folks. While they're still paying as much attention to you as they are their deep pocket donors.
Senate hearings to put Eric & Hillary deeds in spotlight
I want Thomas Jefferson but my choices are Gerald Ford and Joseph Stalin.
I’m voting for Ford. If he can’t stop the slide, he can at least slow it.
I do not see the Republicans doing anything on 1 or 2, certainly not 3, or 4, 6, or 7. So reason 5 is the one that might be a valid reason.
You read my mind!
Thad Cochran in 1993 and 1994 voted to confirm Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.
7 Reasons to vote for the most Conservative choice on my ballot-
and I will vote———even if I have to hold my nose through some of it
And what “party platform” would that be? The GOP is a soulless entity that stands for nothing. But, nothingness is better than the evil agenda of the Democrats.
The Republicans will do nothing positive on any of these seven items; rather, they will acquiesce to their overlords in the MSM.
Me—I plan to be too busy suppressing minority votes on Election Day to stop by my precinct.
LOL! Good post.
BUMP for later.
Yea, and how about the seven reasons why it won’t matter if you do.
How much longer do we have to wait until Ted Cruz announces?
And why don't you tell me about how the Republican Party has fought for and made progress on securing the southern border stopping the invasion?
Oh, right. Because that didn't happen… at all.
2. Health care –Now that the Democrats have invited government bureaucrats into every one of our body cavities, it is time for the citizens to respond as if they still have some measure of self-esteem.
The Republicans that still funded the monster even though they control the House? The Republicans that created the TSA screening at airports?
Yeah, I really see them being sympathetic to government agents sticking their hands where they aren't supposed to be. [/sarc]
3. National debt of $17,000,000,000,000
Which the Republican Party helped to create — remember that they voted to effectively remove the spending limit altogether.
4. Energy – Controlling Washington’s ridiculous spending spree is only one half of the solution necessary to recover from America’s enormous debt.
The Republican Party has done NOTHING to oppose ridiculous government spending; they even funded [and defended] the highly unpopular NSA and its domestic espionage program.
5. Supreme Court Justice Nominees – We are extremely fortunate to have made it this far with only two Supreme Court Justices having been appointed by the radical President Obama.
Roberts wasn't appointed by Obama, yet he was the one who made the deciding vote for finding ObamaCare legit.
There's no guarantee that a Republican nominated judge would be any better than Obama's appointments.
6. Illegal Immigration
Then why is the party pretty much rollling over on the issue? It's not like they don't have legal justification to act (Art 4, Sec 4, US Constitution), and most State constitutions explicitly place the militia under the command of the Governor and charge/authorize him with defending the State from invasion.
Note that absolutely zero of the Republican governors have availed themselves of this.
7. Epic Lame Duck Syndrome – Elected officials who have no fear of voter reprisal in the final phase of their term will sometimes take actions that would otherwise ruin their chances of re-election.
So, essentially the other guy's worse! He'll shit all over everything as he's leaving!
I reject 5 as a valid reason because it essentially is saying that any Republican nominee will be better, but remember that it was Roberts who threw the deciding vote for finding ObamaCare legit.
A Republican candidate holding conservative positions in those areas will get my vote. A Republican candidate who does not hold the correct policies will not.
Why the hell is that so hard for the GOP-E to understand?
Perhaps, when compared with some mythical band of politicians who do not even exist, much less have any political power. But, compared with the Democrat gang of thieves that we have now, we will improve our position on each of these points. One of the purposes of elections is for us to tell the politicians what we think. If we soundly reject the Democrat agenda, Republicans will suddenly discover that those weren't their ideas at all, they were with us all along, and that they were just doing what they thought their dog wanted them to do.
Unfortunately, I doubt that we will do this as many comments on this thread illustrate. By insisting that we can only score with the long ball thrown by some magical quarterback to an equally magical receiver, we are ignoring a tried and true ground game of ball control and short plays down the field. That magical guy got traded to Denver and his receiver got arrested.
