News Politician

I click one innocent-looking link to a census story on Huffpo and one of the first comments I read is a doozie. Basically says that the only reason Republicans have a hold on this nation is because the Republican base are rubes. Never properly graduated high school, and thus are easily fooled by the dastardly Karl Rove.

Could it possibly be that the "republican strangle hold" is due to independents realizing that the democrats were socialists in disguise? Infantile pacifists who would destroy our entire nuclear arsenal and declare unilateral peace on Earth? Guess how long that would last....

News flash, libs: Conservatives don't even trust the Republicans. We are trying to take over that party again, just like your Obama/Reid/Pelosi leftists took over the democrat party.

Babies think it is never their fault.

And by the way, this west coast rezident thanks the rest of you for voting conservative.  Keep going strong.  Libs are running scared.

Democrat politicians are experts at pitting one group of people against another. In the case of tax cuts, there are more middle class people in the United States than there are poor or rich.

So, it’s simply a numbers game of trying to grab the attention of the biggest group of folks.

“We don’t want to give tax breaks to billionaires and millionaires, ‘is the latest refrain in the class envy hustle. What Democrats always conveniently leave out of the conversation is that the top 5% of those billionaires and millionaires pay 80% of the overall tax bill.

If these rich people suddenly disappeared of the face of the earth, the United States would become Bangladesh overnight.

These are the achiever class that take risks and start businesses.

These are the people that stayed in school or gained a marketable skill.

These are the people that didn’t have 6 babies by 6 different women.

These are the people that were once as poor as dirt, but that didn’t stop them from being more than that.

These are the people that made positive life decisions for themselves and their families.

And all those other people that can’t seem to get their life together because it was always somebody else’s fault, or others who are ridden with guilt for what they have, well, those are the ones who vote Democrat.

By electing conservatives, we hope to infuse the GOP with new ideas and common sense. That they are not there already is no surprise. Sadly, we citizens bear the weight to “be” the media, and we must “be” the support for good candidates. Ronald Reagan turned things around for Republicans back when. Obama turned things around, badly, for the Dems. A few good folks in politics can have a far reaching effect. We must never again give over our watchdog duties. The professional media is in collusion with corrupt politicians. That leaves us. Let’s not bash the GOP days before an election. Let’s improve it. There is so much to be disappointed in. Let’s move forward with a positive attitude and courage and resolve. We will NOT give up on this country. We can’t, actually. We must stand for freedom here, because if freedom dies in America, we have no place left to go.

This is my response on GP to a commenter who observes that the GOP could do much better in the PR department.

Bipartisanship may be overrated in politics, but in the electorate I feel that we all, as Americans, need to fix the HUGE financial mess we are in. Rising debt will CRUSH this country. I implore moderate and conservatives and even old-fashioned liberals of all political stripes to vote for fiscally conservative candidates this fall. Our present administration is attempting to spend us all into bankruptcy. Please, PLEASE let us put aside our social differences for a while, get our house in order, then later we can argue about social niceties.

I’m mostly a social conservative. I don’t agree with libertarians on some issues, and vice versa. But guess what? We’ve got a bigger problem.

Moody’s is talking about the possibility of lowering the rating of U.S. Treasury bonds because of how severe the deficits are that Obama is intent on creating. Lowering the rating means that the interest rate that the government has to pay goes up — and that makes it that much harder to pay down the national debt when Congress again has adult supervision. We all need to focus on a smaller and more fiscally responsible federal government, and elect either conservatives or libertarians to Congress as appropriate to a particular congressional district. We have a common enemy that is larger than our differences.

We can still debate, but anyone who sits out a campaign because “he’s a libertarian” or “she’s a conservative” is helping to elect someone that is neither.
