Good news for Republicans ... because this guy's view of the American public is severely skewed. American's aren't becoming more liberal - they are just a bit fed up with Conservatives who aren't Conservative.
Send those Blue Dog's OUR WAY!
We'll take 'em!

Obama '08: Reason # 5
Hey folks ... in my last post I endorsed Barack Obama for President and gave you FIVE REASONS why he is the prescription this country needs right now. Just to summarize a bit - here were those reasons ...
1. The American people need to "take a bath"
2. The Republican party needs to "take a bath"
3. Doesn't matter if McCain wins the Presidency
4. If you want to elect a Global Warming Fear Monger who also deals in class warfare - well - why vote for the light version of that in McCain?
5. "President Obama" is the quickest route for us BACK TO THE CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES OF RONALD REAGAN.
Between now and the election in November - I'm going to expound on each of these reasons in separate posts. I'm going to start at reason number five and work "up" the list - and hopefully I'll post reason #1 a day before the polls so that you can feel comfortable voting for Obama - or at least sitting at home on election day and allowing the "Obama Wave" to wash over the country!
So in this post - we look at REASON #5 why it should be Barack in '08!

So in this post - we look at REASON #5 why it should be Barack in '08!
5. "President Obama" is the quickest route for us BACK TO THE CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES OF RONALD REAGAN.
To analyze this reason - let's go back in time to the wacky seventies.
Richard Nixon had resigned the Presidency in 1974 to avoid being impeached over the Watergate scandal. Richard Nixon - was NOT a Conservative - no matter what anyone wants to tell you. Nixon thought that Government was a part of the answer - not a part of the problem. Richard Nixon implemented wage and price controls. Nixon indexed Social Security for inflation, created the Environmental Protection Agency - in short - Nixon was a very adept "government grower".
And when Nixon resigned - he turned the oval office over to Gerald Ford. If anyone can figure out if Ford was a Conservative or a Centrist or a Liberal - leave a comment and let me know. Because the only thing Ford really did in my opinion was preside over the final two years of Nixon's administration. A two year period where he didn't do much - and to be truthful - the country was so sour from the Watergate affair that he really wouldn't have been able to do much if he had wanted. But regardless - Ford was not seen as a leader of the Conservative Republican movement.
Senator Barry Goldwater had been the iconic Republican Conservative figure. But Goldwater had been kept in a safe "box" by his opponents who successfully painted him as a "reactionary". Goldwater also didn't do himself any favors because he wasn't the most adept politician in my opinion. He didn't see the importance of forging political alliances with entities such as the "religious right" - indeed - he often clashed with them.
But a new "icon" for Conservatism arose in 1976 - and it was ...
Ronald Reagan.
Reagan challenged Ford for the Republican Presidential nomination in 1976 and Reagan - like Goldwater - was painted as a "Reactionary". You young people today really haven't heard that term much these days - but that was the descriptive term assigned to Ronald Reagan by the Liberals in the Republican party and in the Drive-By Media at the time. To be branded "Reactionary" - meant that you were a "warmonger". "Reactionary" meant you were against equal rights. It meant you wanted to turn back the clock to the Wild West days and have public hangings.
And the term stuck to Reagan in 1976 a little - he narrowly lost the Republican nomination to Ford by about 100 delegates.
What was clear in the Republican campaign in 1976 was that a new wind was coming - and even though he lost the nomination that year - that wind would be led by Ronald Reagan.
Of course - Gerald Ford lost the Presidential race to Democrat Jimmy Carter - who went on to become the WORST President of the 20th Century.

Of course - Gerald Ford lost the Presidential race to Democrat Jimmy Carter - who went on to become the WORST President of the 20th Century.
IT WAS THE INEPTITUDE OF JIMMY CARTER THAT MADE A REAGAN PRESIDENCY POSSIBLE.
I'm not going into the specifics of Jimmy Carter's failures - they are legend and I've blogged on them extensively. Jimmy Carter didn't "inspire" Americans. He didn't "lift" them up. Quite the contrary - Carter was known to hold a mirror to Americans and point out their flaws - much like Barack Obama does today. Every time Carter's approval rating dipped again - he would go on television and tell the people that things would get better if they "tightened" their belts. In order to save America - Americans had to sacrifice their dreams and face reality - that was the Carter philosophy.
It made American's sick of Jimmy Carter and the Iranian Hostage Crisis (caused by Carter and fumbled by Carter) - made them intent on getting rid of him.
The "Reactionary Warmonger", Ronald Reagan - rode a wave of popular support to a landslide victory over Carter in 1980.
LANDSLIDE ... 489 electoral votes - to Carter's 49.
Reagan inspired Americans - didn't ask them to sacrifice their hopes and dreams - he encouraged them. Reagan ended the Cold War - without firing a shot at the Soviets. The rest is history.
We need a NEW REAGAN in this country - but he's not John McCain. John McCain is more akin to Gerald Ford than he is to Reagan.
What would happen if John McCain were elected President with a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress?
What you would have in this case another Republican "Whipping Boy" in the White House.
Folks ... liberals have no ideas - they are morally and intellectually bankrupt. The only reason they seem to be enjoying some minor success in elections these days is because people are fed up with Conservatives not sticking to their core values. Conservatism has the ideas ... there's just no leadership.
Democrats have been very successful (along with their willing co-conspirators in the drive-by media) in BLAMING Republicans for anything and everything. Actually - this country is doing great right now (and I'll speak more about this when I talk about REASON #1 wHY OBAMA SHOULD BE ELECTED - but you'll have to wait for that one!).
The bottom line here is this - Democrats are on fire because they've managed to burn the Republicans.
If you elect John McCain - Hillary will be back in 2012! Because John McCain will be expertly played as the "whipping boy" by the Democrats.
PUT OBAMA IN OFFICE! Give the Democrats NO WHIPPING BOY - FORCE THEM TO PERFORM - FORCE THEM TO SHOW US THEIR INTELLECTUAL CARDS AND THEIR PLAN FOR "FIXING THINGS".
And watch the hillarity of that!!
Folks - it will be painful. It will be hard - but every generation needs to sacrifice for the cause of freedom! Put Obama in - the Democrats, unencombered by any viable Republican opposition will melt themselves into oblivion. Obama WILL NOT be reelected in 2012 and Hillary won't have a chance either - because like Jimmy Carter in 1980 - nothing carrying a Democrat "brand" will have a chance.
We will then have our opportunity to put Conservatives back in power that will do something.
OBAMA - HIS FAILURE WILL BE THE QUICKEST ROUTE FOR CONSERVATIVES TO PUT THIS COUNTRY BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK!

I ENDORSE BARACK OBAMA!!
Where the hell have I been??
Well I've been very busy in real life and honestly - I've just been astounded by recent events and have spent most of my time just soaking them in. Also - I don't get paid for this blog so it's a sideline affair. But I have something I think is worthy of blogging about today and that is ... my endorsement of a candidate for President of the United States. If you think I am one of those "rank and file" Republicans who goes along with everything the party says and thinks they can do no wrong - well - you might be a bit shocked today with who I'm going to endorse.
Let's get right to it ... shall we?
I ENDORSE BARAck OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!
Yeah ... I said it and I puked a little in my mouth getting it out but ...
Let me "Qualify" that a bit.
When I say "endorse" ... I'm saying these two things actually ...
1. If you are a member of the Terrorist Rights Party (read: Democrat), if you're a LIBERAL, or if you just LIKE BARACK ... go vote for him. This includes all the folks who worship at the alter of Barack - members of the Church of the Ressurected Savior Barack Obama.
2. If you're a Social Conservative who believes in the free market, protecting our borders, fighting terrorists until none are left standing, and ridiculing Liberals till the day you die (like me) - don't vote for Barack - but ...
DO LET HIM WIN BY NOT VOTING FOR McCAIN!
Now the reasons I'm "endorsing" Barack ... the reasons that HE SHOULD BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT ... are numerous. I can't expound on all of them in one post. But ... I WILL outline them here and expound on each point in future posts to this blog.
But here are the reasons that Barack needs to be our next President folks ...
1. The American people need to "take a bath" - we need a wake up call. We've become pussy's who have surrendered our liberties to the lowest common denominators of our society. We stand idly by why fools make a mockery of this country. We've got a good man as a President now - one who against all odds has kept us safe from terrorism since 9-11 in spite of the Democrats working to thwart him and undermine the security of this country. Yet, this President, we don't appreciate - and we allow others to shit on him without defending him - even the Republican Presidential nominee John McCain does it. We deserve a clown for a President. As President - Barack Obama will make things SOOOOO bad - I believe it will put some spine back into the "silent majority" of this country and steel them with a desire to take back this country - the way we took it back from spineless Jimmy Carter in 1980.
2. The Republican party needs to "take a bath". We need to send a message to the Republican party that this is still the party of Reagan - and McCain as a nominee doesn't cut it. Furthermore - Republicans need to pay for compromising with the Terrorist Rights Party led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed. When you compromise with idiots - you deserve a body slam - and Republican have one coming. We need Republicans in office who can tell these clowns to shut the fuck up and point out how wrong they ALWAYS are. Harry Reid ... "We've lost the Iraq War!" ... wrong bucko. Now he's saying that gasoline is making the country sick - this guy's an idiot - and no Republican has the balls to forcefully point it out. Republicans are scared - scared of the Drive-By Media. Hell - if just one would get up the testes to take the Dem's on - he or she would instantly be bestowed the Reagan mantle of leader of Conservative Republicans. It hasn't happened though - so to the woodshed with the GOP!!
3. Doesn't matter if McCain wins the Presidency - he will be facing a Veto Proof / Filibuster Proof Congress ruled by the Terrorist Rights Party. Additionally - he has an increasingly liberal Supreme Court that he'll have to deal with. Past history suggests that rather than battle the Democrats - McCain will "compromise" or ... worse ... get into bed with them. Democratic policies will run this nation into the ground and McCain, as a Republican President ... will be blamed for it. This means Republicans will be blamed for it. Avoid this by NOT electing a Republican this time around. Make the Democrats OWN the mess they are about to make.
4. If you want to elect a Global Warming Fear Monger who also deals in class warfare - well - why vote for the light version of that in McCain? Go all out and vote for the "real thing" in Barack. Hey ... there's really no difference between McCain's and Obama's view on Global Warming - or Corporate CEO's. In fact - aside from the war in Iraq - there's not a lot of difference between McCain and Obama in my humble opinion.
5. "President Obama" is the quickest route for us BACK TO THE CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES OF RONALD REAGAN. Remember folks - as depressing as the Carter presidency was - there was one thing that Carter DID make possible and it was the election of Ronald Reagan as president. Remember - Reagan had been considered "too conservative" and too "reactionary" and quite frankly - too much of a "war monger" to be nominated as the Republican candidate for president. But four years of a shitty economy, shitty military, shitty overseas diplomacy ... convinced Americans that Ronald Reagan was the man to lead us out of the wilderness - and he did. Yep ... Obama will load the supreme court will liberals ... he'll destroy the economy ... he'll appease terrorists ... but in the end ... we'll be a stronger nation for the ordeal because Americans - who have been complaining about "suffering" lately - will get to see what REAL suffering is. Americans are pussy's - all the real Americans are in Iraq right now. The one's back here at home are all pussy who moan and complain about bullshit. Let them see what real pain is - and Barack and the TRP will dish it baby!
I'll be blogging more on each of the reasons above and hopefully ... by the end of this series - you'll be comfortable with allowing PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA to become a reality.
