11/10: Now, GOP Has the Numbers
Posted by Editor on November 10, 2009 · 7 Comments
In the wake of the Nov. 3 elections, two developments have gotten the most attention: The huge swing among independent voters from Democrat to Republican and the “enthusiasm” gap between Republicans and conservatives, who turned out in large numbers, and Democrats and liberals/moderates, who didn’t. If these trends hold true in 2010, a whole lot of Democrats are in danger of losing their seats. None more, perhaps, than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Current Republicans vs current Democrats…not much difference between them, is there? maybe if the Repubs would get back to the basics, we could support them. I want less government and my freedom back. I want my Senators and Representative to stand up to the liberals and ACTIVELY oppose them while ACTIVELY proposing solutions that reflect smaller government and more freedom. Until I see Republicans doing that, I’m not very enthusiastic about them as “my ” party.
What freedoms have you lost?
The problem with the GOP has traditionally been the “blue bloods” who have the same basic goals for taking our freedom, just like the democrats. See this:

This is why Sarah Palin was disliked so much by some repubs, she is an “outsider” and maybe not one of the illuminati group. We must be careful in the primaries not to choose the wrong republican, and as long as the current Republican primary state system is in place allowing crossovers, we may have trouble choosing a true conservative constitutional patriot.
Really doesn’t matter does it? When the Republicans held control they apparently didn’t do much good–or they wouldn’t have lost control. I live in McCain’s state–polls say he’ll win easily in 2010 and I have to wonder why? Until elected Republicans grow some huevos and take a stand, nothing will change–and we will only have ourselves to blame.
Not exactly. It’s true that for years many Americans have been asleep and are to blame for being too busy to get involved but, now that many have awakened to their awful situation, it may be too late-despite their full efforts to avert tragedy.
The Dems will win in 2010 but not because we are to blame.
Dems announced today that only the most notorius 9/11 terrorists will be tried in NY -while others will be tried in private military tribunals- to distract the public’s attention from how Obama will buy the 2010 election for Dems. While the media focuses on the trial (especially on things the Bush Admin did) Obama plans to grant amnesty for all illegals in the country in exchange for their votes in 2010.
Let’s not forget that, once he was through with the primaries, Obama ran as a moderate or centrist, even appeared to be conservative on some things such as his “tax cuts” which were really nothing more than a welfare check renamed through doublespeak. Also, he made a lot of promises which sounded good until you realized that there’s no way that he, or anyone else, could ever keep them. He won because he’s a great orator, not because of policy, and though he remains personally popular because he’s very likeable, a great many Americans don’t like his policies.
Were Bush’s and Reagan’s tax cuts also a “welfare checks?”
