GOP Establishment and Mitt Romney vs. Tea Party and Gingrich and Santorum
The Florida Primary is over; Mitt Romney won over Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum with Ron Paul coming in last.
When listening to the conservative Tea Party Network and knowing that over 150 Tea Party organizations supported Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, and that they both had support from the most conservative leaders in America it really makes me wonder how could a Mitt Romney victory happen?

But the main question is was this really a victory of the voters or was this a GOP establishment manipulated primary?
The best election money can buy as PJ Tatler on Pajamas media calls it.
Ever since the Midterm elections of 2010, a broad front of conservative voters united under a group called “The Tea Party”. They wanted to take the Grand Ol’ party back from the establishment, renew the conservative cause we once so proudly defended, and kick the RINO’s out of power. Successfully, we showed the GOP what true conservative voters are capable of when we helped them take back the House of Representatives – Something the odds were against.
However, since the GOP likes to go along to get along they want to silence the Tea Party in order to maintain their established power.
GOP
Grand Ol’ Party – Once the flag ship for Christian conservative values, honesty, integrity, limited government, and power through WE THE PEOPLE. It represented the “American Dream” of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness – NOT ANYMORE.
The GOP today is diversity preaching and engaged in all sorts of foul play just like the Liberals to hold on to their power. It’s a tug of war in the same mud. They no longer care about the voice of the people, the voters; they just care about keeping the status quo and keeping the “establishment” in tact. It’s no wonder why WE THE PEOPLE have lost all confidence and trust in our so-called representation.
And yet the answer to right the ship is so simple. Stop being politicians and start being Statesman again. Stand up for less government and fiscal responsibility no matter what the cost, and keep your word.
However, instead of seizing the momentum of The Tea Party to strengthen the Republican Party so that Obama can be defeated the GOP does the opposite – THEY DECLARE WAR on their base the true conservative American voters.
THEY DECLARE WAR ON US – THEIR VOTERS and SUPPORTERS – UNBELIEVABLE
Instead of uniting the Conservatives and independents under one flag by working with them they divide the Conservative base even more, playing right in the hands of the Democrats – and for what?
Rush Limbaugh proved in ‘Real Clear Politics’ that the GOP’s joined forces with The New York Times declaring War on its own voters.
Limbaugh on Real Clear Politics: Bill Kristol on the Tea Party: “It’s an infantile form of conservatism.” Scott Reed, veteran strategist and lobbyist: “I think it’s waning now,” talking to the reporter of the story about the Tea Party’s influence. “Party leaders have managed to bleed some of the anti-establishment intensity out of the movement, Reed said, by slyly embracing Tea Party sympathizers in Congress, rather than treating them as ‘those people.’ Did he mean to say that the party was slowly co-opting the Tea Partiers? ‘Trying to,’ Reed said. ‘And that’s the secret to politics: trying to control a segment of people without those people recognizing that you’re trying to control them.’” This is a Republican consultant talking about how to neutralize the Tea Party. (Continue reading and watch the Video here)
Rush Limbaugh
The GOP in Ohio even wants to shut down The Tea Party period, as Godfather Politics reports.
Bottom Line is….
The GOP does not want a true conservative President in 2012. A true conservative President running on the principles of “Reagan Conservatism” for limited Government, Constitutional America, fewer regulations, less Taxes, and more power back to “We the people” would cramp their style.
The GOP wants a GOP puppet like John Boehner, who became Speaker of the House with help from the Tea Party (that we were good enough for), but as soon as he held the hammer in his hand he became a good GOP soldier representing power preservation, backdoor deals, and the betrayal of principles rather than standing up for true conservatism.
GOP Establishment/Elite (RINO’s) vs. Tea Party
The GOP establishment complains that grassroots Conservatives call them RINO’s (Republicans In Name Only) – Well, what else do you call people who “claim” to hold to conservative principles while running for office, but as soon as they’re elected they play “flip flop-balancing act politics” betraying and selling out everything the people believe in.
They add insult to injury by calling their own voter base “Grass Root Radicals”. And the GOP wonders why they lose elections.
Just take 2008 presidential candidate John McCain – He is the perfect example of a fence riding RINO that I can possibly think of.
McCain even dared to attack the Republican Tea Party Base as “Hobbits”.
Well, here is a message to Mr. McCain: The hobbits were the hero’s in the movie “Lord of the Rings” and typified the little underestimated underdog that conquers the big overpowering evil with determination and bravery, never abandoning the path of honor and faith.
Next time you want to insult “Us” Senator McCain – First get your facts straight or at least watch the movie. I am proud to be a hobbit.
And that is why the GOP prefers a Mitt Romney over a Newt Gingrich or a Rick Santorum. Romney is the perfect presidential version of John Boehner. A true party soldier who will make sure that he will not forget those who helped him into office, and I’m not talking about the voters I’m talking about the GOP.
Newt Gingrich IS a walking hand grenade for the GOP Establishment (and I say that with the highest respect) because he does not cater to them or their distortion of facts. He wants to change the establishment not preserve it, heeding the will of the people, and proving he is not a party soldier, but a leader – And that is NOT what the GOP establishment wants.
Rick Santorum is considered to be the “most conservative,” but has nowhere near the experience nor the record of achievements that Gingrich has to really threaten the GOP. And in my opinion, the GOP is giving Santorum just enough money to keep him in the race in order to derail Gingrich and assure Romney the victory.
Romney vs. Gingrich
After his victory in Florida Romney declared he wants to unite the GOP. How does he want to unite what he, together with the Party have previously divided through trench warfare?
Romney vs. Gingrich
Does he really think he can first artillery everything we believe in and then just miraculously say, oh now it’s over, and we are all one big happy family?
2012 Presidential election
If the GOP continues to fight against their base instead of listening to them this will be the last election for the GOP as a grand old party.
The call for a third party, widely ignored the past 3 years, becomes louder and louder. We are fed up that the elite think they can rule over our head. We are fed up with being treated like stubborn dumb children.
Let me make this clear Mr. Preibus, Chairman of the GOP:
YOU AND THE ELITE DO NOT OWN THE PARTY – WE THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS DO
And the winner is……
….Barrack Hussein Obama and the Democratic Party. The GOP financed trench warfare only plays into the hands of the radical fascist Obama regime. All they need to do is sit back and watch how we maul each other.
In 2010 we gave the GOP a chance to prove that they could do more than give lip service… They failed.
All they needed to do was keep their promises and work WITH us and not AGAINST us… They failed.
Let’s hope and pray that at least the Tea Party voters can look beyond the polls, take one for the team, and vote for whom we really think can kick Obama out of office.
And maybe after 2012 start a third party – a true conservative TEA PARTY OF WE THE CONSTITUIONALIST PEOPLE
For God and Country, and the most amazing City on the Hill

GOP Presidential Debate answer’s I hope for and never hear
Now that 2011 has passed and 2012 is here, the battle to take our country back continues.
The past year we had a marathon of GOP Presidential debates and different candidates taking the lead.
Throughout the entire debates the topics were always the same and then slightly adjusted to fit the current happenings in the world.
And so were the answers. All, and I really mean all, candidates were trying to give the right answers to appear “conservative”, but yet cautiously diplomatic to assure not to offend, insult, or really attack anybody, outside of each other. In other words a disappointing PR-show that leaves me to the point where after hours of debates I am still not convinced as of who to give my vote to.
None of them seems to be willing to grab the hot coals with their bare hands and give those answers, which many grassroots conservatives want to hear.
How to get America back to work
This is the one constant in every debate, and every candidate is determined to prove how “Reagan Conservative” they are in reciting, like a mantra, the “same ol’-same ol’” policy of lowering taxes, deregulating, and so on.
Only Newt Gingrich shortly mentioned one of the real issues, leaving that hot-coal-topic immediately and not going into details, and that is UNIONS.
One extremely important solution to get America back to work is to break the power-neck of the Unions.
The theory:
In theory Unions are a private-non-governmental-organization sponsored by the Federal Government and should provide “Legal Assistance to Workers who’s constitutional and Legal Rights as employees are violated”.
The reality:
However, Unions stopped “being” that a long time ago. Like most things, the initial idea is good, but then greed breeds corruption. They are a criminal Mafia style Organization and nobody seems to care or is too scared to do anything about it.
The fact that the sitting President, Obama, has an affiliation with criminals is evident; — Not without a reason he calls Second Generation Mafia boss “Jimmy Hoffa Jr.” his buddy (and he IS the son of a Mafia gangster) and plays golf during Christmas with a school friend who has been arrested in Prostitution charges.
Hoffa in Life Magazine
In my opinion, this major entity that determines and influences politics has been misusing federal funds in order to funnel it back to the Democratic Party to keep control of their interests, without the average person the wiser. This is obscene and illegal, but unfortunately it has been going on for decades. In a nutshell, our government subsidizes criminal enterprise and there seems to be no politician willing to take them on.
In some states you cannot even acquire a contract as a contractor if you don’t pay your dues (in my book of law that is called: danegeld) to the Unions and submit to hire Union workers only. And if you refuse – well accidents happen all the time. This is clearly “criminal”, but normal since politicians and judges look the other way.
Unions are assured with their election contribution, their re-election.
And the very same Politicians and Judges grant the Unions the right to intervene in Companies decisions to either produce or preserve employment.
The fact is that in the past 6 months alone Unions have caused or endangered over 130,000 Jobs in the United States either by stopping to build a Boeing plant in South Carolina (a right to work State and mentioned by Newt Gingrich) or by stonewalling any negotiations with American Airlines which jeopardized over 130,000 Jobs and retirees.
Breaking the neck of the Unions and putting them back into their place is not only a small, but also a necessary key element to get America back to work. That is why I desperately want to hear the following statements from a candidate:
1) I will make America a “Right to work nation” and make this a “Constitutional Amendment”
2) I will audit the Unions and assure that funds given to this private institution are used proper to secure the constitutional and legal rights of American workers and workers under “legal Status”, otherwise Unions will be defunded
3) I will make a clear commitment that Unions are a private representation and membership is voluntarily, and Unions are NOT to make policy or politics, but have only one duty – representation when asked for
But, I guess that is wishful thinking because everyone remembers what happened to Robert Kennedy.
National Security
Muslims
None of the candidates are willing to call things by their name when it comes to National Security. I agree, of course, that the two main pillars of National Security are financial independence (bringing the budget in order) and America’s military strength and position in the world. But there is a third Pillar, which gets completely ignored and that is National Security at home.
We don’t need to look for Muslim Terrorists in foreign countries they are already here; and they do a marvelous job of infiltrating our nation through their so-called “Representations”.
Islam Infiltration of America
Of course not every Muslim is a Terrorist but 99% of all terrorists are Muslims.
Instead of cooperating with Law-enforcement Muslims take the position of “Victims of Discrimination” using this policy to avoid any cooperation and play the “Victim Card”.
Financing Terrorists all over the world, dismantling our Constitution, and trying to sneak Sharia Law into our court rooms calling it cultural heritage is NOT assimilation nor the practice of freedom of religion it is clear infiltration to take over our country.
And to make things worse, Hillary Clinton and the State Department just held a summit with Arab Nations to strike down the 1st Amendment making critics of Islam a crime under the pretence of “Inflammatory Speech”.
The UN sponsored this summit and the role model is similar to European Laws, which already bow to the Muslims.
I was actually waiting for one candidate to condemn this meeting in the last debate – BUT NOTHING.
Fact is, in order to assure a strong National Security we first need to establish a strong National Identity and that is, or should be, a clear commitment by the Candidates to a Judeo-Christian Heritage.
But that one is missing as well.
United Nations
A fourth pillar to a strong National Security is a strong National Independency.
Again, what I am missing with every candidate is the clear commitment to defund financially and withdraw politically from this senseless organization and make a clear statement that any interference in domestic issues through Agenda 21 or other policies will only result in a final disembarkation of this criminal corrupt organization.
This would not only strengthen America’s position, but also save us billions of Dollars as Ann-Marie Murrell of PolitiChicks stated with utmost precision in her column “Some Simple Solutions to our National Debt” on Patriot Update.
Kicking the UN would therefore be a double monumental victory for America. Saving us tons of money as Ann-Marie says, and making us independent from the UN, which would strengthen our Sovereignty.
Conclusion
This is just an excerpt of what bothers me with those debates.
Nothing but a lot of blah-blah, repetition, and the very same diplomatic packed political correct standard message hoping to please the conservative voters, but yet making sure that the other side is not offended.
Many of the conservative and independent voters are still undecided. You might think since we’re so close to the primaries that the candidates have convinced us who would be the best equipped for the job and who would truly and truthfully represent us, but I hear in my network all the time that it’s quite the opposite.
As long as the candidates are not willing to hit the nail on the head and call things as they are and walk away from the standard answers (Lord have mercy they have preached them so many times to us – I can recite those answers in advance), and give us the “right” answers, this election will be just another fiasco with nothing but RINO’s.
So please all you candidates out there – TELL US THE TRUTH; GET TO THE POINT AND START REPRESENTING US AND NOT POLITICS – WE THE PEOPLE fight for America, we work our behinds off to save this Nation, and the last thing we want or need is another flip-flopping coward – what we need is a tough conservative candidate to beat Obama and return the government to the people.
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Rick Perry – how to adumbrate a Debate absent
~~ In Americapeople are not subject to the Government, the Government is subject to the people ~~
(Gov. Rick Perry, on his presidential announcement speech in S.C. August 13, 2011)
Governor Rick Perry
The 2nd Presidential Debate in Ames, Iowa for the Republican preliminaries is over. Winners, losers, and the first quitter are determined.
Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann won the Iowa Straw Poll slightly ahead of Ron Paul and then former Governor Tim Pawlenty who has now thrown in the towel, but one man managed to shuffle the entire debate without even being there – Governor Rick Perry (TX – R).

The Debate
Rick Perry made the smartest move possible by having his staff announce the “high possibility” of him running on Thursday, followed by watching and sitting out the debate, and then Rick Perry making the official announcement of his candidacy for president on Saturday in South Carolina.
Iowa Straw Poll (Getty Images)
With Chris Wallace on stage in Iowa as the igniter, the “advocate diabolic (the devil’s advocate)” the debate actually became interesting. Every good debate needs one like this.
People have different opinions on this debate, but I have to admit that I liked this one a lot better than the first debate in New Hampshire and though many of my friends (or better almost all of them) disagree with me, I liked it better because of Chris Wallace.
But let’s be honest here: What are the preliminaries and what are they good for?
As a fan of Formula 1 car racing I see the preliminaries as the qualifying, the “everybody against everybody selection” for the actual race.
And as a former soldier of the Armed Forces I know for a fact that you can’t train and prepare man/woman for the worst by playing nice.
The first debate in New Hampshire was more like a choir performance where all of the candidates showed their uttermost politeness, all had the same message and basically nothing really new was said.
For me as voter it was hard to determine which candidate would be best equipped to replace Barrack Obama in the White House.
“Minnesota Nice” is beautiful and “Texas Hospitality” is a marvelous thing, but we are preparing for the most brutal and below the
belt face off going into the 2012 election. Obama will be fighting desperately for re-election and believe me he will not play fair or nice.
Answer in Iowa (Nate Beeler)
Jon Stewart, an aggressive Obama supporter and radical left wing talk show host of the “Daily show” for example already started with sexual insults towards the Bachmann’s and since Obama never stepped in condemning this audacity he showed “Silent
approval”.
The election is on and the Chris Wallace “head on head fight calls” was actually nothing but a warm up for what is yet to come.
Pitting Michelle Bachmann against Tim Pawlenty on their records was an excellent move. Democrats will do the same, and worse. And for the first time the usually very confident and competent Michelle Bachmann showed signs of being “off guard” and insecure for a moment.
Well Congresswoman Bachmann better get used to it, it won’t get any easier.
Pitting Tim Pawlenty against Mitt Romney on “Romney care” is of course nothing new and also happened in New Hampshire, but here Wallace proved that he is a professional “Journalist” trained on counter warfare and challenging the contestants;
Newt Gingrich actually showed what is to be expected from a Presidential Hopeful when Chris attacked him on his records Gingrich fired back accusing him of playing “Mickey Mouse games”. Gingrich put Wallace and the media in their place and showed great fighting spirit.
Mitt Romney did the same when he challenged Wallace about the Massachusetts Constitution.
I was amazed and quite disappointed at Ron Paul when Chris Wallace started the next hot topic: Terrorism and foreign wars.
Ron Paul, cornered by his opponents threw the question in the room “who determines a Terrorist” indicating that there is no
such lawful determination.
For your information Congressman Paul: The term “Terrorist” is determined in the ICRC – International Humanitarian Law (Geneva Convention) from 1949.
This document clearly defines an “Enemy Combatant”, “Civilian” and “Terrorist” and based on that international agreement is the “Code of Conduct” also known as “U.S. Military Rules of Engagement”.
The bold moves of Chris Wallace finally caused Byron York to step forward and attack Jon Huntsman on his position of being in favor of Civil Unions.
All of those things actually made the debate interesting and put some spice in it. Very interesting was the question about Rick Perry entering the race and while all candidates played nice only Ron Paul gave a few fiery comments on the issue. But I am
afraid Congressman Paul could say: Be careful what you wish for. I am sure Perry would have given him the right answer on the terrorist question.
As a voter I expect from my candidate two things:
1) He/She has to represent my beliefs as a fiscal Judeo-Christian conservative
2) He/She has to be able to defend those principals
But here is the thing.
Giving election speeches in front of a crowd is easy. Politicians are trained and used to do that. As a tea party member, and fiscal conservative I can step in front of 10,000 people anytime and give a speech. I can say things to make the audience cheer or say things to get their blood boiling ready for a fight.
It is like preaching to the choir. There are only likeminded people in the crowd who believe the same things and share the same opinions.
But defending the records and the principles in an open discussion with an opponent is something completely different. Anybody who has ever been in a debate knows that.
In a debate you have to expect attacks and counter attacks, you deal with limited speaking time where you have to a) get your
message out and at the same time b) defend your record and position.
And if you think that is easy – try; I am a well trained rhetorician and I’ve been told that I’m strongly opinionated, bullheaded, stubborn and pretty good at combat rhetoric.
You have to be faster, quicker, better informed, and well prepared and never lose or show any weakness.
And here is where Rick Perry comes into play and why he overshadowed the entire debate. If you have watched Rick Perry during the gubernatorial race he has been attacked a lot of times very hard by his opponents.
But Governor Perry is good in that game. Rick Perry is a highly experienced politician with the aura of a statesman.
Texas Governor Rick Perry
He always shows Texas coolness, never shows any weakness, has his records straight, is well informed, and understands the principles of “counterattack without direct attack”.
Making a “counterattack without attacking the opponent” is an Art not many master.
You have to be prepared to take an opponents comment and shove it back down his throat without being vicious or aggressive, simple by using logic and well founded information.
And that makes him a tough discussion partner; one that rules the stage.
Rick Perry does not need foul attacks or dirty games. He is a highly experienced rhetorician, he knows what he is doing and the big plus is he is humble.
The beauty of the American Republic and the U.S. Constitution is that we are all entitled to an opinion. Since Governor Perry announced his candidacy thousands of blogs and comments appeared on the internet.
Some in favor, some calling him a RINO and part of the system, some positive, some negative, and some neutral pointing out both sides.
It is not my place to tell you what to think or who to vote for that is for you to decide. The field of conservative contestants is now there and full and you can choose for yourself which candidate is your favorite one.
I already did for myself.
But one issue nobody can deny, and that was also sensed in the debate in Iowa – Governor Perry is a major factor and force in the preliminaries and all of the candidates knew that. In my opinion that is the main reason Chris Wallace had such an easy time bringing some tension into the debate.
I watched the debate twice and I am convinced because of Governor Perry the tension was there, candidates were forced to show corners and edges and Chris Wallace just picked up on it and used it.
One way or the other I am finally looking forward to the third and final debate on September
22, 2011 in Orlando Florida. This will be the debate that actually cleans the field.
Epilog
This is my 100th Blog on WordPress, and I would like to take the opportunity to give grace.
First, I want to say thank you to my readers and followers, Facebook friends, and fellow patriots such as Ann-Marie
Murrell, Chet & Natalie Nichols, Suzanne Sharer, Heidi Kutney, Michaela Brandner, Antoniette Walker and many, many others without you I would not be here anymore. You keep me on my toes and make me want to be better with every single blog.
Thank you for your patience, your time and your compassion. You have added many comments and sometimes you have even disagreed with me, but I love, honor, and respect each and every comment.
Thank you to my son Jessy. You are the reason I fight for a better future, the light of my eye and star in my heaven.
Thanks to Annette for constantly cross reading and editing, you have done a marvelous job. I love you.
Thanks to my parents who brought me up well, showed me that a man is entitled to his opinion as long as he puts it on a foundation – This made me strong.
And last but not least – thank you my God almighty in heaven and my savior Jesus Christ for providing me with the rhetorical talent to be outspoken.
Thank you to the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces, who gave their ultimate sacrifice in order to provide and defend the blanket of freedom, that was thought of by the Founding Fathers, and established as the United States Constitution.
God Bless them all
Your ultimate sacrifice allows me to share my opinion no matter if I am right or wrong.
God Bless ya’ll and

Midterm Election 2010
Is Obama and the Democrats out of touch with reality or simply delusional
Last week we had the 2010 Midterm elections and sure thing the results were just as expected – internecine for President Obama and the Democrats.
WE THE PEOPLE, finally being heard and represented by the Tea Party movement have spoken and sent a message. The message was loud and clear:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Like former President Bill Clinton, who was admonished in his first midterm election in 1994 by the people with the loss of 54 Seats in the House, Obama and his Democrat Pundits have now been warned as well. Even worse, Obama lost the most seats in 70 years; 64 Seats in the House of Representatives.
But if you believe they got the message think twice. I don’t know what it is, maybe his ignorance, his narcissist personality, his inability to listen; maybe he really thinks he resembles Louis XIV. – Sinking of America; but the bottom line, unfortunately, his reaction was just as to be expected.

After making that statement he went on a Royal Style Travel to India with an entourage of 3000 people. Or as the Daily Mail, UK states: “Not since the Pharaohs or the Roman Emperors has a head of State travelled in such pomp” (http://is.gd/gOz6T).
And the Brits should know they have a powerful active Monarchy.
He down played the devastating disaster of his Party in his Wednesday press conference, standing Self-Righteously by all he and his great public servant’s had accomplished for the American people… he refused to accept that the election results were a rejection of his policies.
Well how dumb we citizens must be – here he is: Obama the great, the man with the wisdom of the Universe and we ungrateful radical Tea party members and simple voters just don’t know what’s best for ourselves. How dare us to doubt Obama the wonderful.
It is actually the other way around: He is the one, who does not get it – he and his arrogant holier-than-thou behavior, his “my way or the Highway” dictatorial performance has been the real reason for the election slapping.
- While he promised during the Presidential campaign a “New and open Washington” – he practiced a single dictatorial reigning.
- He pushed the Health Care Bill through and down our throats – refusing to work with the opposition
- Even more sickening his most faithful allies Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid prohibited others from working with the opposition or members of the committee by threatening to fire them.
- The new openness of Washington, he promised during campaigning, he honored it by spitting in our faces, giving us “an ample amount of time” of 72 hours to read the 3200 pages of the healthcare bill.
- He threatened to use an Executive order if the House and the Senate did not approve “His idea” of the healthcare bill (totalitarian Leadership)
- His pay offs for the two missing votes for the very same bill. (Would I, as a business man, pay off a federal official in exchange for a vote and think it’s legal…? I would be prosecuted for bribery)
- He pushed the second stimulus Bill through against the will of the People and against all opposition.
- His performance on the Fort Hood shooting
- His standing on issues like Immigration.
- His lack of leadership in the cultural battle between radical Muslim immigrants and Christians who built America.
- His disrespect of the Constitution
- Or should I mention that he demands from citizens to tighten ones belt while at the same time his First Lady uses American Tax Dollars to fly with her mom on a shopping trip to London or grants herself the record amount of 22 Assistants (Only God knows what for).
And that is just a short excerpt of 2 years of Obama style ruling. Two years of acting like a mix of Stalin, Hitler, and King Loius XIV.
Now, I don’t mean to give President Obama any ideas, God forbid he listens to me, changes, and tries to serve a second term (that would be a new movie called “Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue”), but I really think he should self-reflect and start working on a better Bi-Partisanship position for the better of our country. We have many problems that need to be solved.
Almost 10% unemployment nationally (much higher in several states), permanent Terror threats (it is obvious that Obama’s course of caress towards the Muslims did not lower the Terror threat – the opposite is true: Terror threats have increased since Obama’s reigning by more than 20%), and a political standoff produced by a stubborn, Marxist/Socialist, ideologue President is not good for anyone, and is especially not good for our country.
It is time to strike the sword – for the best of the country – for the best of
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
LAND THAT I LOVE
British Election – Can that happen in November 2010
May 7, 2010
The British Empire has had its election.
A lot might say England is far away. True – but what is important is the similarity in the partisan landscape. Just like in the United States England has a tradition of a 2-party system.
The Tories
The British Version of the U.S. Republicans – the conservative party (http://is.gd/bYD9q). For a long time the Tory’s were considered hardliners in their conservative beliefs. In 2009 the Tory’s became, with David Cameron, a new and young face with young leader who promised to lead the party in a new area of Conservative Humanity.
The Labour Party
The British version of the U.S. Democrats is a member of the EPS (European Socialists; Link: http://is.gd/bYCit). The Labour Party was, or better still is lead by Gordon Brown, who was the British Prime minister until yesterday. Ruling Great Britain the past 13 years under Socialist principles the Labour Party drove the empire into an economical disaster, and it is to be expected that in 2011 Great Britain will have a National Debt of more than 12% which is similar to today’s Greek disaster.
After the election on May 6, 2010 the British Empire is looking at a whole new ball game. For the first time in history the Empire has a third party elected and none of the traditional parties have gained the absolute majority (From Times online: http://is.gd/bYCT0).
After 13 years of disastrous ruling, the Labour Party lost the majority and the Torries gained the same. Unfortunately they did not gain the absolute Majority leaving the Conservatives 20 seats short. The king makers are now the third party calling themselves the “Liberal Democrats” under the upcoming Shooting star Nick Clegg which is the stirrup holder for the new Prime minister.
This is new to the British, and for the first time in history the Empire faces a common movement in European Politics – called: Coalition Government
Open Letter to the GOP
And here is the similarity to the United States as it is today. In a previous blog, under the title “Open Letter to the GOP” (http://wp.me/pF1Ot-2b ) I asked the question if so called Independent Candidates are an option. A lot of my friends disagreed with me, stating that at the end of the day Americans will chose the established party, though choosing young and upcoming shooting stars will represent the “conservative-back-to-the-roots” ideology, for safety.
However, many current representatives have left the established parties announcing they will run as independents in the upcoming midterm election.
The last one was the Florida Governor Charlie Crist who announced this week that he will run as an Independent Conservative hoping for the support of the Tea Party movement against the young GOP candidate and shooting star Marco Rubio.
A Newsmax.com poll asked readers who they would likely vote for right now and 46.38% of the participants would vote for a separated Tea Party under Sarah Palin while at the same time only 30.46% would vote for a candidate from the established GOP (Newsmax.com: http://is.gd/bYJP1).
Knowing this is not a public and representative Poll because Newsmax.com is mostly read by conservative readers, it does show the direction the conservative voters are looking at, at the moment. And yet among conservatives it is trend setting and shows where most of the conservative voters stand.
So here is my question that I would like to ask my readers
Many Americans are fed up and have had enough of Obama’s totalitarian Socialist Style, and with many Conservatives using the current Anger among the Citizens as a leg up for running as independent candidates hoping for the support of the Tea Party Movement so:
Are we looking at the possibility of a three or more Party system?
Is our country ready to make coalitions?
Our system is built on direct elections where we vote for the candidates directly and not for the party – how will that work if there are more than two parties?
A lot of my friends waved off this idea, saying, “This will never happen in America,” but yet the British probably thought so as well. What do you say now?
Don’t forget to vote in November and may
Barack Obama’s version of Hope and Change
This Blog is dedicated to Daniela, a dear friend of mine who today reminded me to mind my manners, reminded me that hatred is not a solution, and reminded me that the presidency is still to be treated with dignity no matter what I think of the person occupying this office.
Thank you for bringing me back to the grounds of good manners and behavior, and reminding me that with proper language I can still state my case.
Dear Mr. President,
Fool me once shame on you – fool me twice shame on me
Yesterday on March 21st 2010, the Democrats have, with a close vote, decided to install socialist healthcare on the United States (though the very same is failing all over the world). In Europe where the very same system has been installed since the early 50’s, behind closed doors everybody knows it is a failure.
Year by year prescription drugs have to be taken off the available list, services have to be reduced, down payments and dues have to be increased, new taxes with fantasy names have to be invented to finance the system and yet the federal Insurance companies in 100% ownership of their respective countries are near bankruptcy.
The independent Forbes Magazine has today, less than 12 hours after the final voting, published an Article showing the winner and loser of this bill and – oh miracle – the only real winners are the Pharmaceutical Industry as well as the Insurance Cooperation’s. The biggest losers are to be found among the Entrepreneurs, small business owners, mid size businesses as well as the middleclass. (Forbes Magazine 03/22/2010 “Health Reform’s Winners and Losers”: http://is.gd/aSJwo)
But I am not here to discuss the Healthcare bill itself. No, because within the past 15 hours and I am sure in the upcoming days 100’s if not 1000’s of Blogs and article will be written about that. No, I am here to talk about conduct, my conduct, the conduct of the Tea party Movement, and last but most important the Conduct of the President.
The first few hours my postings were full of anger, hatred, disbelief, and rage. Until Daniela wrote the following message to me:
“he won the election. this means he does represent a good portion of our citizens. and keep in mind that he was neither handed down the position or attained it dishonestly. he attained it rather by hard work; fulfilling the very dream our nation makes possible. that, if nothing more, is worthy of respect. he called upon Americans to help him rebuild America. it starts with the way we communicate about our leader and with each other. let that be the common ground. and instead of hurling insults on the man like so many Americans are doing, on issue like abortion, go out and start a campaign to educate people. there is not a single person I know that doesn’t feel guilty and awful, men and women, about their decision to abort. interview, document, educate; show movies like” 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” to students. That is, if you really care about an issue the President doesn’t address the way you think it ought to be. My guess is people just like to “bite and devour” one another.”
Is she right there? Yes, partially she is. Yes, he was not handed it, he won. You are 100% right when you say he has fulfilled a dream and accomplished his goal, this is something I credit to him, being a self-made man myself working my way up from the scratch, finding my connections, getting the right people together, I know what that means to build a network of success. And you are right when you say the presidency deserves more respect.
But the presidency has nothing to do with the person, the presidency of the United States is an institution and describes the office, the chair, the desk from George Washington and not the man occupying that office – he is an elected Administer of the property of the people and tenant of the same also called the “White House”. He is an employee of us and has to answer and listen to our wishes and our will. Never the less the constitution says it clear “WE THE PEOPLE” and not “I President Obama”.
So while I do respect with all my heart the office of the Presidency – A living, breathing person has to earn my respect and Barack H. Obama has not earned my respect whatsoever.
But Daniela you are wrong when you say he called upon Americans to help rebuild the Country and I can prove that to you. He never intended a “together”.
Less than 15 month after his inauguration his approval ratings have dropped from 76% to 42% which means more than 30% of the people who voted for him lost their faith and stopped believing his words. Why is that? Citizens are humans after all, and they have the right to make a mistake, and just because he has been elected once, that does not mean he has to keep his job.
Every election today is an enormous Public Relation show and like my old father always said: Once you have the driver’s license then you actually learn how to drive – Once you are elected we see who you really are.
Barrack Hussein Obama ran his election campaign like a Rock Star on the platform of hope and change and turning the United States around for the better. During his campaign he called for more
- Together/Teamwork
- Bi-Partisanship,
- Transparent Government
- Less taxes or no additional taxes
- Bringing the troops home from Iraq
- Being a president of all Americans
- More honesty
- Putting an end to Cooperation influences to politics, backdoor deals, foul play and political tricks
- He wanted to be a president of the people
But what is left of it? Absolutely nothing at all, because less than 15 months after Obama taking office he broke all of the issues above – the entire platform he ran his Campaign on.
Right after taking office he has shown his true colors and his true agenda. I am not going through all of his actions such as foreign policy and so forth. I will just stick to the latest 10 months of Healthcare Reform building.
During the healthcare debate one of the Democrat speakers said (Quote): “When building a house you have to lay a foundation”. She was basically right, but I am not a lawyer but a construction engineer and when we cannot find a solution for a tricky construction problem we will come to the point where we throw the entire plan out and start all over from scratch. The Healthcare debate was a dead end for a long time. One of the key issues was the Abortion action where even many flip-flop pro-lifers from the Democrat side refused to sign – to the cheap trick Obama used to get around this, I come later.
- Bi-Partisanship, Open government, Teamwork,
Republicans have several times offered to throw the whole 2700 page monstrosity out and work on a bi-partisan bill agreement, in the spirit of Obama’s together/Teamwork campaign.
¬ Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Slaughter, and all the other Pundits have denied this on several occasions. Even worse, Pelosi threatened openly to board members if they talk to the opposition they will be thrown off the board.
¬ You rule by “My way or the highway” – this is not the course of a leader of the free world this is the course of a Dictator
¬ Pelosi had the tenacity to lock herself in a closed office with only “her team” to hammer out the Healthcare Bill – C-Span was even thrown out in order to avoid the public from seeing what was really in the Bill.
¬ When the criticism was too strong and too many people demanded to know what was in the Bill, Pelosi told the public at first (quote): “I know what the president promised during the election but that does not mean I have to follow” and when the heat was too strong from all sides, only two days later she spit in our face by saying: “After the bill is finished we will post it for an ample amount of time of 72 hours for the people to read it”. – 72 hours of time to read 3000 pages and protest is not democracy that is dictatorship.
- More Honesty, Putting an End to Corporation Influences as well as backdoor deals, foul play and political tricks
Has been honored by Obama with,
¬ Payoffs for votes,
¬ Backdoor deals
¬ Threats to Democrats
¬ 11 New Tax Increases to finance this monstrosity
¬ When Obama saw that the Pro-Life Democrats would not play along and he might be short the votes for the bill he threatened to use a political trick called “Self-Executing-Rule”.
¬ And when the heat was turned up by the opposition on using this tactic, considering it to be “foul play,” Obama realized that implementing this rule would probably mean political suicide for his personal re-election. So, instead he just promised Democrat leaders additional concessions for their votes. All the while knowing that their careers might be in jeopardy he still urged them to vote for his bill – which produced even more backdoor payoffs (in private business it’s called bribery, extortion, and corruption).
¬ The final draw was on March 21st 2010 when Obama silenced Pro-Life flip-flops like Bart Stupak when he promised a “Executive Order on Abortion” to assure Federal funded Abortion will only be used with regards to Rape Victims and Women in health jeopardy while pregnant.
With all due respect Mr. President, you may fool Mr. Stupak and some Americans, but you do not fool me and definitely not the majority of the American Public.
There is no legal grounds whatsoever for a “Standing Executive Order on an existing Bill”. An executive order is an emergency tool that allows the president a short term action until approval of the House and the Congress. Every Law Student knows that.
Bottom line is, this statement is fungus maceration and open to any wrongful use and interpretation by Pro-choice activist as well as subject to silent alibi-pro-lifers.
So much for honesty, transparency, and open government.
So where is the hope, Mr. President, where is the Change? What has changed? What made you any different than your predecessors? What happened to your promises? What happened to your “together, I am a president of all Americans?”
So far, all you have proven is that you are not any different.
¬ You support big corporations,
¬ you make backdoor deals, foul play, bribery,
¬ you lie to the people,
¬ you prove that you do not care about the public will, the will of the people,
¬ you are a dictatorial leader who wants things his way or the highway
¬ You are not a president for all Americans, especially not for the 76% opposing this Socialist Healthcare, but rather a president for:
- Feminist rights activists,
- ACLU
- CAIR
- Unions
- NAACP
- And Atheists
That sums up 23% of the population – what about the rest – what about the majority in this country?
And you wonder why over 30% of your previous supporters have changed sides and do not trust you anymore?
Daniela tells me to give you respect, but you have not earned my respect. You tread on me and you do not care about my wishes.
Daniela says, if I am against abortion I should go out and hold speeches and educate Students – I am all for that and do just that, but in the meantime I reserve the right to say “I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR ABORTION – NO MATTER WHAT”. Making me pay for Abortion sounds a lot like:
I hear what you say, you are allowed your personal opinion, but I (Barack Obama) don’t care you still have to pay for it and perform a silent agreement.
Who are you to tell me what I have to pay for, what I have to feel and think, and what I can do or not do.
You have taken an oath to protect the Constitution of the United States of America at all costs against all Enemies, foreign and domestic – but you tread on the Constitution every chance you get. WHO IS PROTECTING US FROM YOU?
So the bottom line is, while I do respect, honor, and defend
The
Presidency of the United States of America
And the American Constitution
With my life – no matter what.
You, Barrack Hussein Obama, do not deserve my respect – you have NOT earned it.
MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT AMERICA
Midterm Election 2010 – Si vis pacem para bellum
Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum – or “If you wish for peace prepare for War”
(Roman Military Writer Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus ~390 A.D.)
Thank you so much Emily for inspiring me to this blog.
On the verge of the 2010 Midterm elections a wraith seems to be going around among the conservative Tea Party movement and the GOP – the wraith of “Arrogance and Ignorance”.
And this is happening not only in Texas but all over the country.
Yesterday I read a post of my dear friend Emily, who was agitated over an interview the Talk show host Glen Beck held with the Gubernatorial Candidate for Texas Debra Medina. She is an uprising Candidate from Southwest Texas who emerged from the Tea party movement (Read here: http://is.gd/8dsai). In this interview Glen was just being himself and as usual doing what he does best: Slapping Medina and the Tea party movement in their face – or bottom line being a controversial jerk.
In my reply I said I feel for Debra but she had better get used to it because compared with what the Democrats will be pulling in the fall of 2010 this interview was nothing more than a beginning warm up, she answered me that (quote): She is not worried about the Dems here in Texas for 2 reasons: 1) They have yet to produce a decent candidate and 2) after the mess that they have created in Washington I don’t think Texans will look twice at them. Besides, Texas has and always will be a predominantly Republican state.
Well, you are partially wrong Emily and that mistake is weaving itself like red yarn through the entire Country. First of all Texas has not always been a predominantly Republican State. The truth of the matter is Texas was a Democrat State until the 1980’s (Source: Texas Politics University of Texas: http://is.gd/8dwan), but Texas later was re-conquered by the Republicans, and Rick Perry concreted that power through re-districting in 2003.
The Democrats are not beaten yet – they’re just regrouping
There is a huge danger here with over confident thinking and I have warned about that all along in a previous Blog Post under the title: “Open Letter to the GOP – A wake up call” (Read here: http://wp.me/pF1Ot-2b).
After taking the vast majority away from the Democrats by electing Scott Brown to the Senate, the Republican Party is running around the country feeling like a winner, acting like a peacock, having their heads in the clouds, celebrating Scott Brown’s victory as their own (though this is not the victory of the party but rather the victory of the Tea Party movement) and overlooking the danger that is coming from behind. In one of my next Blogs under the title “Is Obama out of touch with reality” I will prove to you that the Democrats have never been more dangerous than now.
This was not the GOP’s victory – this was the Victory of the Tea Party movement.
The actions the democrats are performing right now are Military tactics 1:1 called reinforcing and regrouping. And the GOP and conservatives just don’t seem to see it.
After Brown’s election Obama and his grassroots Democrats definitely acknowledged the fact that the 2010 Midterm elections will not be an easy task for them. Obama’s Hope and Change policy failed and the trust of the people and the poll numbers are decreasing. The signs are all there and obvious, but why is nobody capable of seeing them?
- Obama immediately changed his course from “Lone-ranger-Ruler” to “Please work with me together” – giving voters the impression he is willing to work bipartisan on all issues. This way he can take the position as a victim of Republican stubbornness during the election and blindfold the voters with his eloquent appearance.
~~ The Perfect Oscar certified Media show ~~
- Right after his State of the Union speech Obama went media-affective one on one with the Republicans accusing them of digging into the partisan ship on healthcare rather than working with him – truth is, it was the Democrats that refused to work Bi-partisan, and except for 2 – yes only two – Republican Senators all stayed quiet.
- Pelosi became the role of the hardliner making several media-affective comments that she is willing to move on with the healthcare no matter what, even against the new course of Obama.
- Harry Reid changed his mind on an hourly basis, depending on what Media he was talking to. One time ready to work bi partisan the next moment playing hardliner – Getting ready to take the stand that suits him best.
- With Pat Kennedy announcing his retirement February 11, 2010 the 14th Democrat is backing out of the current administration. Why would they back out just now when they have a chance to rule the country? Pretty simple – Reinforcement. Obama needs to replace some of the faces of his current administration in order to stay in Power. He needs new and unencumbered faces. Everybody right now would just be associated with the past failures.
All of those things are nothing but diversions. When an army needs to re-group and re-enforce, the standard system is to remove the troops from the battlefield to safety, have a few specialists attacking the enemy, keeping his mind and his force occupied and then reinforce the main troops with manpower, arms, and ammunition.
And this is what the Democrats are doing right now. All their appearances on TV, their contradictory Statements, and them changing their minds are nothing but a diversionary tactic to occupy the opposition, the movement, and the voter’s, period. And in the meanwhile Obama performs and occupies the media with his “Nice-Guy from the neighborhood Obama show” knowing that this worked during his Presidential campaign and it might work again now.
But that is not what bothers me, what really bothers me is what is behind the scenes. The Democrats will not sit down and just wait to see what happens. No – they are charging right now, they are getting dossiers on every candidate, background checks, every word that has ever been spoken, and every move that has ever been made.
Manpower, Arms and Ammunition
The democratic machine is working right now – ready to strike as of April until November. And in my opinion this will be the bloodiest Midterm election in History. The Democrats won’t just sit back waiting to be attacked they will strike first throwing dirt wherever they can.
And I said it before and I say it again – when it comes to playing the media the Democrats are way ahead of us. The Democrats have learned that America is a country that loves two things
1) A good Drama show
2) The underdog – and as soon as Obama can position the Democratic Party as the victims of Republican Grass root stubbornness he WILL take the position of the Underdog in this Midterm election.
Always remember Sun-Tzu’s “The Art of War”:
It is not the Giant on the battlefield that worries me – but the troops hiding behind the Giant
So if Debra Medina thinks Glen Beck was tough on her: Here is some good advice for her from my military time:
Preparation is half the war.
Prepare for the worst and be happy if you don’t need it
Prepare yourself for below-the-belt attacks because should you be victorious over Governor Perry in the primaries; Glenn’s interview was a walk in the park compared to what the Democrats will do to you.
And while Glen hung himself on one comment from YOU and attacked YOU – the Dems will go way beyond that – They will go after you, your children, your friends, and even your dog if you have one.

Open Letter to the GOP – A Wake Up Call
Christmas has just passed by; Barrack Obama, Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi have managed to overrun us with their Health Care Bill using distraction, extortion, and threats.
On the outlook of the 2010 midterm Election many Republicans pugnaciously give press conferences making statements like: “This issue is not over yet”; “The battle has just begun”; “Not with us” and so forth.
But how creditable are those statements? Are those the usual pre-election “please vote for me” Statements?
If the GOP really believes the 2010 Election is a slam dunk because People are angry with Obama, then the party fails to see the reality. Another Player emerges from behind and the Party does not seem to see it – The INDEPENDENT Conservative.
Where has the GOP been the past years? Has the party actually wasted one moment of time to find out why so many people now call themselves “Christian Reagan Conservatives” rather than Republicans?
The Washington Post calls the GOP “A Party both united and divided” (http://is.gd/5CiqO); and the attached Graphic shows you how (http://is.gd/5CimX).
I have supported every Republican Candidate from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush to John McCain with all my power; Sent messages out; spread the word and told my friends, compatriots, and family members, and strangers online and on the streets to support the Republican cause.
But the bottom line is that most of the time the feedback was: Why and what for; I don’t really feel represented by the GOP as well, and since I definitely will not vote for the Democrats I would rather not go to the polls at all.
But somebody else has seen the times to come – the INDEPENDENT Conservative and those get stronger and stronger.
Why are they such a threat to the GOP? Well they are not bound by the party line, they don’t need the support of the party and what is most important – they can and do represent the people.
So what is wrong with that picture? I tell you what: Voters, Citizens – therefore the one people the GOP is supposed to represent are frustrated and discouraged.
Citizens want to feel and know that they are represented. Their needs are taken serious, their lifestyle is honored, and their interests are taken care of, but that is not the message the party sends. The party has done the opposite.
Here are some reasons why the GOP keeps losing creditability and voters:
Judeo – Christians
Other than during election time in the past centuries the party has never really taken a Stand for their Primarily Christian Voters nor have they looked out for our Jewish brethren.
And while the Christian conservatives throughout the entire country are the biggest supporters of Israel and the Jews, and all Republican Presidents have supported Israel; the party has failed to make notice of that fact and bring the Jewish community into the conservative cause. In fact, the Party has stood by and watched as the Jewish community supported the Democrats.
Where was the outrage of the GOP when piece by piece our entire Christian moral and ethical heritage has been taken away from us?
Where was the outrage when political Correct Diversity Preachers took away our constitutional rights of free speech and supported Homosexuality and Abortion?
The GOP was nowhere to be found and practiced Political correct Statements to make sure that they might find one or two future voters in the opposite camp – not realizing that with this blindness they lost lifelong Republican voters on a daily base.
Why isn’t the Party raising hell when Obama declares our Nation no longer a Christian Nation, yet every single one of the 50 States have “God” in their declaration?
Where is the party when Muslims keep insulting us, calling for the destruction of our Christian Heritage within the boundaries of our own country using OUR constitutional right of free speech and freedom of the Press to their advantage?
Where is the party when piece by piece our Christian Heritage is taken away from us, (crosses removed from the National Memorial, Ten Commandments removed from Federal Buildings and so forth)?
Nowhere to be found; NO, actually silent, practicing political correct Statements and diversity and betraying their voters – or at least that’s how the people feel it.
The GOP is silent, very silent, and WE THE PEOPLE feel left alone.
Racial Issues
It was the Republican Party that indicated the Civil Rights laws in the 60’s and the democrats opposing, but yet the GOP leaves the Democrats the field. Affirmative Actions, special minority funds for blacks only, and so forth angers Voters, because poor farm kids in the Midwest and all over the country do not get the same advantages that black kids do. And yet it never seems to be enough. As soon as any Black self proclaimed Civil Rights leader uses the word “Racism” as a Weapon for extortion and excuses for everything – The GOP Politicians duck and practice again political correct statements.
Instead of taking a stand and saying: Hey 60 years of special treatment is enough, its time you do what every American of every race needs to do – take care of your business. Instead of taking a stand and saying: Discrimination is wrong; but that goes both ways, the GOP politicians get real quiet and allow blacks everything while whites get nothing, and then wonder why racism in this country still exists – Well you produced it and still produce it.
Instead of taking a stand against Racism and promoting those Black Americans who made it out of their own strength and joining forces with the Black Americans supporting the party, yes, there are more than the GOP thinks, the GOP fails here as well, and leaves the entire field to the Democrats.
People believe the GOP only supports Major Cooperation’s – wrong Message:
People tell you that the Party only represents the Rich and Wealthy. I know this is not true. Bottom line is the GOP fails to bring the message out that this is the party of those who work hard to prosper and not the party of the lazy Ghetto people of all races, who believe that the government should take care of them.
The party fails to get the message out and profit from the hard working Americans by listening to them and honoring them.
Public Relations
Here is the GOP at its worst. While the democrats use every advantage to get their message out, slandering Republicans and Christian Conservatives wherever they can, the GOP is silent. You cannot tell me that in the entire Republican Movement we cannot find a PR Manager performing in supremacy.
Europe
Maybe the GOP should take a closer look at Europe. Look at their counterpart in Europe, the Christ-conservatives. While socialists all over Europe keep losing elections the Christ conservatives seem to be unable to profit from that movement. Yet both established Parties lose voters to independent small and sometimes left or right wing radical parties in both directions.
The result of this phenomenon is a landscape of rainbow parties (European Parties are identified by their color) and a permanent inconsistency in politics.
Conclusion
If the GOP does not want the same phenomenon as in Europe, then it is time for the party to wake up.
It is not important if the Party leaders or the remaining faithful Members know that we are the best choice for the people, the people – the voters need to recognize that and come back. But that will not happen if the party moves on as it has done the past years.
It is not enough to make marrowy speeches after losing a battle, like now after the Health Care disaster, it is not enough to appear at election time and show off.
The people, the voters need, want, and have the right to be heard all the time; they want to be lead and represented and they want to be valued.
One major reason the party lost the last Presidential Election was the permanent turnovers of John McCain; His permanent attempts to please as many as possible forgetting the basis of his consolidated voters. Or in laymen terms: He lost his entire creditability throughout the election.
Allowing Barrack Obama to turn the fight around and instead chasing Obama, with no experience Senator McCain became the bait and gave Obama the field with practically no fight whatsoever.
A very old common quote says: “Nobody can please everybody”
The Party clearly fails to consolidate their voters.
My Advice to the GOP
So it is time for the party leadership to get off its high horse and quit living in a dream land believing people will know anyway. If the Party does not want to keep losing voters the GOP needs to stop making foul compromises, selling out their consolidated voters, and start listening to the basis.
How can you move on and win others for the cause if you keep losing on the others side, your consolidated Voters? Don’t think that the new prospects are not going to see, or at least get the impression that once they have joined they will be left behind as well.
In order to move forward the GOP needs to concrete their basis – no house can be built on quicksand.
But in order to accomplish the strengthening of the GOP the party needs to stop practicing itself in senseless Diversity speeches, neck wrinkling behavior, and political correctness, and really start STANDING UP FOR THEIR PEOPLE and for what is right. Show strength. This is how the party will regain creditability by their voters and show new and future prospective voters that they will always will be represented.
Unlike my friends I will not run away nor will I give up my Republican Membership; I don’t believe in running away – that is cowardliness, but I will keep on supporting young Republican Leaders who are on base, know what we feel, and are willing to represent our interests rather than those old blue collar “Country Club Politicians” running the party right now.
The Democrats will definitely not win the 2010 midterm election, but one thing is for sure – it is questionable if the GOP can enhance profit from this loss of the Democrats.
If the party does not turn around right away – NOW IS THE TIME – the only people profiting from this situation will be the capricious independent. And once the Independents are in the administration, the GOP will be lost. Let’s be honest – when it comes to being foul opportunists the Democrats are way far ahead of us.
2010 is not won just because the Democrats are losing.
I know that none of the GOP leaders will read this because they live in the clouds of their own choice, a glass house, and think they have gained the wisdom of the universe.
The GOP leaders live with the wrong impression – that people will know the truth and value of the party, no matter what, and that all it takes is to make the one or the other marrow statement. And the GOP does not have to do anything.
Well sometimes waking up can be very painful.
And though, I will continue my battle for the CHRISTIAN – Republican – Reagan – conservative Cause, and to defend the Constitution of the United States. I will keep choosing MY proper representatives and support them, judging them by their actions and not words.
And I will pray – pray that this country will prevail with or without the GOP. A new Generation of conservatives has emerged – the time for obedience is over.
It is time to thank the older Generation for their service, honor, valor, and as future advisors, and leave the field to the younger Generation – those who will stand tall for our cause.
May God Bless and protect America – Country that I Love
Sincerely
An Always faithful Christian Reagan Conservative Republican
