The good news is we won in Virginia and New Jersey. The tide is turning. Average Joes are figuring out that Obama is far left and the polls are showing it.
The Dems are going to paint themselves into a Socialized medicine corner. Denying that the elections mean anything and ramrodding heath care through regardless. If it passes, Obama is going to look like he opposses the will of the people. If it doesn't pass, Obama looks like a failure who goes against the will of the people. Either way could lead to a big win in 2010.
Yes we lost and we lost big. The Dems won the White House with a guy who looks like the second coming of Jimmy Carter. Just like Carter, Obama was elected after the second term of a very unpopular Republican. Like Nixon, Bush's unpopularity made him a major liability to the GOP. Clearing a path to a convincing Obama victory.
Depressing stuff no?
Not if you put it in the proper perspective. Sure, America suffered for four years under a disastrous Carter administration, but after that the GOP ushered in Ronald Reagan. A full 12 years of the GOP in the White House before we lost it again in 1992. Reagan went over the heads of the media and spoke directly to the people. After 4 years of liberal based malaise, America couldn't resist a conservative.
So four years from now, it's going to be impossible for Obama and the MSM to hide his inexperience and far left ideas. People are going to be looking for ...ahem! Change. That change will come in the shape of a real conservative, not another RINO like McCain.
So don't despair. America under Obama is still the greatest country in the world, and it will be even better soon enough.
The McCain-Palin campaign launched the Honest and Open Election
hotline to help citizens learn the location of their polling place, as
well as report any instances of irregularities at the polls, including
voter fraud, intimidation, violence and electioneering. The hotline #
is: 866-976-VOTE.
A political painting depicting
presidential candidates Sens. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and John McCain,
R-Ariz., is displayed in the driveway of resident Robert Horr on
Thursday, Oct. 23, 2008, in New Gloucester, Maine. Horr says his sign
is just intended to provoke debate about the presidential candidates'
backgrounds and their qualifications to lead the military. Obama is
shown wearing a traditional Somali turban and clothing. McCain is shown
dressed in a military flight suit.
Can you imagine if a Republican had said something like this?
Yeah, I'd say he get's pass.In fact, he gets a pass every time, and he always will. But the MSM is an aging and inaccurate quarterback. Still trapped in it's pre-internet glory years.
1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to
increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT
VOTE THAT WAY.
2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama
never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud
Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden
attacked him for it.
3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has
opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to
“raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”
4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and
Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the
field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the
President of the United States had already said he would veto
regardless of it’s passage.
5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but
he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal
plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and
coal in the U.S. Senate.
6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is
exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for
alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.
7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on
people's health insurance coverage -- they get a tax credit to offset
any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is
false
8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax
in Alaska -- she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it's not a
windfall profits tax.
9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military
commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied
to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO's International Security
Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were
principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that
could be applied in Afghanistan.
10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation -- he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.
11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead
wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the
war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been
proven right.
12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000
wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise
taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.
13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the
four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two
of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that
it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part
of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the
G-20.”
14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama,
Americans won't pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.
Political Punch-Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., has reluctantly come to the conclusion
that he will have to vote for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., whose
immigration reform bill Tancredo blasted as amnesty.
"Sometimes I say to myself, 'Can I really do this?'" Tancredo said of voting for McCain, according to the Rocky Mountain News. "And then you listen to Obama or Hillary and say, 'Yeah, I have to.'"
At a debate last October Tancredo sounded less sure of such an idea.
"You know, I've said I don't know how many times, that I am
absolutely tired and sick and tired of being forced to go to the polls
and say I'm going to make this choice between the lesser of two evils.
I really don't intend to do that again. I am hoping, of course, that
whoever we nominate will be the principled flag carrier for the
Republican Party. But if that is not the case, no, then I will not
support them."
Tancredo told the News he couldn't vote for Libertarian presidential
candidate Bob Barr, who has similar views as he does on immigration,
because Barr has "a blind spot on radical Islam."
John McCain, who appears to be the GOP's
presumptive presidential nominee, was resoundingly booed before and
after addressing the Conservative Political Action Convention this
afternoon, despite his plea to the Republican right that they have more
in common than not.
McCain was introduced first, though erroneously, by former VA guv George Allen. Allen, who endorsed McCain today after having supported Fred Thompson's bid, was supposed to introduce Sen. Tom Colburn who had the official honor of presenting McCain. So, with the double introduction, McCain was booed not once, but twice.
McCain made a humble plea for the support of the far right
contingent of his party, saying that though they have disagreed at
turns and though he has made "mistakes" (more booing), "you will still
allow that in many ways important to all of us (I have) maintained the
record of a conservative."
That explains why you're so popular with Democrats and the MSN, but not with conservatives, eh John?
(...)"I have made mistakes, you can attest to that," he joked, before promising to "secure our borders first."
"[Expletive] you! I know more about this than anyone else in the
room," shouted McCain at Cornyn. McCain helped craft a bill in 2006
that passed the Senate but couldn't be compromised with a House bill
that was much tougher on illegal immigrants.
"No, I'm calling you a f*cking jerk." -to fellow GOP Senator Chuck Grassley, when Grassley asked "Are you calling me stupid?" 2/21/00
"By the way, I think the fence is least effective. But I’ll build the goddamned fence if they want it." -2/07
"Only an a**hole would put together a budget like this... I wouldn't
call you an a**hole unless you really were an a**hole." -to Budget
Committee Chairman and fellow GOP Senator Pete Domenici in a Senate
budget hearing
McCain was also asked if as president he would be comfortable with
Tancredo heading the immigration service. McCain smiled and said, "In a
word, no." Source.
Cornyn, Grassley, Tancredo, and Domenici are all Republicans.
Here's what McCain says to Democrats.
"I am sure that Senator Clinton would make a good President. I have no
doubt that Senator Clinton would make a good President." -2/20/05
"John Kerry is a very close friend of mine. We've
been friends for years. Obviously, I would entertain it." -When asked
if he would entertain being Kerry's VP if asked, 3/10/04
"The first thing that I would do is call in John Kerry, Bob Kerrey, Joe
Biden, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Henry Kissinger, Dick Lugar, Chuck Hagel,
and several others and say, ‘We’ve got to get foreign policy, national
security issues back on track.'" -When asked the first thing he would
do if elected President, 3/00
So if you think McCain is going to undergo some kind of conservative transformation once he gets your vote, remember his past.
If I were a cartoonist, today's cartoon would be of a RINO goring an elephant marked GOP. The rhino would have "McCain" emblazoned across his side while proclaiming "Get used to the idea that the elephant is dead". In the background would be several joyful donkeys saying, "he's a maverick", "I love him", and "I'm so glad he got rid of that nasty old elephant". In the next panel, several elephants gather around the dying GOP elephant to mourn. GOP's last words are "I thought we were the base of the party, but it looks like we're all RINOs now"
Third panel: Walking away from the makeshift funeral, one of the elephants asks "should we become RINOs? It sure makes the donkeys happy".
