What the Hell Happened?
How on earth did a bunch of people get together and elect a terrorist-associating socialist as President? I think a lot of it was white guilt. Americans want to show the world that the pains of slavery are well over and wanted to elect a black man to prove it. At least, that’s what Ralph Nader thinks.
Michelle is quick to point out on her blog that this election means that no one should call Americans racists again. They will, of course, because liberals always fall back to name calling when their other arguments and logic fails. She said:
In the end, a majority of Americans voted for Obama because they decided the gamble on an inexperienced change salesman was worth it – whatever his skin color and however thin that skin is.
Moonbattery’s Van Helsing says that Obama won the election because the Democrats got rid of all of their moderates and ran the most liberal member of the party. Republicans need to dump big government moderates like Bush and especially McCain if they hope to retake the White House. VH says:
When Dems lost in 2000 and 2004, they reacted by moving sharply to the left, and purging their ranks of relative moderates. In 2008, they ran a radical with the most extreme left-wing voting record in the entire Senate against a centrist known for shafting conservatives. You see the results.
If conservatives learn a lesson and take back the Republican Party from country club Big Government types like W and McAmnesty, there will be a resurgence of Reaganesque proportions in 2012, and very possibly a replay of 1994 in 2010.
And VH nailed it. I think this election would have been much worse had it not been for Sarah Palin, the most conservative voice in this election. In fact, I had planned on sitting out this election until Sarah got involved. I voted in the hopes that McCain, old as he is, wouldn’t survive the term. Essentially, I was voting for the Veep, not the Pres. And I’m sure I wasn’t alone in this attitude.
And McCain was too old, despite his clarity of mind, to be a President. No one should vote for a guy if you wonder if he will survive his term. The same thing happened when Bob Dole ran against Bill Clinton in 1996. Bob Dole was a great guy and might have made a good President, but when faced with the choice, the country chose the Horn Dog in Chief to hang out and molest his interns for four more years.
And finally, McCain lost because of his horrible comb-over. I have said it before that the country doesn’t like to elect bald people. The US may no longer be racist, but we are still a bunch of narcissists when it comes to our nation’s public image.
Looking ahead, I fully expect this nation to party like its 1978 with rising inflation, out of control fuel prices, massive unemployment and an international reputation of being a pushover.
What happened? The Republicans gave away an election. Conservatives were muzzled. (TY MSM)
So, sit back, get calm, downsize, and watch the next 2 years.
Say you get a chance, to walk down a long dark hall, no lights. You run into a wall. You can go the right way, and eat pie, or go the wrong way and fall off of a cliff to your death. I prefer not to even go down the hall, but Mr. Obama did. I hope he gets to the wall and backs up.
It isn’t just the US watching, it is the world. They are already giddy. Mr. Obama, back away from the wall. It isn’t Chicago, and you are not Ronald Reagan.
After 2 years, when you get fed up. Get busy. Conservatives need to unite. Another election in 2010, to change Congress. Maybe a new party is in order. The New Conservative Party.
My humble opinion.
Skeezix,
Welcome to the blog. I think you have crystallized what a lot of people think. It will definitely be a bumpy two years until the next House elections.
Thank You Pat,
Glad I found the site, and glad to be here.
I do have a tendency for making people look at themselves though. So, you are fore warned.
The Conservative Underground has just begun. I do this on a lot of other sites as well.
We got lazy, especially during the Reagan years. We wanted it to last, but, we got lazy! That is what happened! Too comfortable, and not enough stealth.
New age with the internet though. Starts now. Find other sites to get involved in.
American Thinker is one.
So is Wake Up America.
My heroes:
Ronald Reagan
Martin Luther King Jr.
Abraham Lincoln
Thomas Jefferson
They made this country, and we let it slide backwards. Conservatism to me is Religion, Family values and Country. Note that Government is not in there? They work for us. We hire them, we pay them. They have no right to tell me what to do. Untill I ask, and vote for them to do so.
People don’t always agree with me. That is fine. I am open to opinions and debate. That is Conservatism. I will give respect, and ask for respect in return.
