Romney lost, Obama lost, meaning Hillary and McCain won. Or did they?
Hillary won by a tight margin but did she stop Barack's momentum?
Obama fires up a crowd to the point that all he needs is a slogan and the audience starts shouting it back.'Change we can believe in', believe again, etc.' He continually finds hot buttons to press and it's working. I don't know if anyone knows what he means by those slogans but he's got them riled up. I don't think it will last. I think he will run short of slogans and be exposed as a young, very well intentioned spokesman for the party but his lack of any executive experience in running a government will be glaring in the near future by Hillary.
Hillary is old school politics. She is well connected with a lot of old bureaucrats in Washington and believe me that counts for a big voting machine. They want jobs and they know what to do for Hillary to get them. They have no idea what Obama wants or what he will or won't do for them. Hillary has had a well known, long term leftist political agenda since college. She has wanted to turn America in to the European model of socialism. Her health care agenda is only the beginning, watch her push for nationalising business including oil, energy, and communications. Think of all the new bureaucrats she will create. All this is all scary stuff to me but to the casual voter and observer maybe not.
Most of today's voter is a whole lot less interested in politics than I am. Most are living good and happy with their lot until they are told that we need change, or we need to end this war, or the economy is failing, or we need health care for those forty seven that don't have it. Catchy slogans, scare tactics, sound bites, good hair, groomed appearance, Hollywood endorsements, is the order of the day. Voters have no more idea on what they are getting themselves into than what their kids teacher is teaching their kids.
They don't know that of the forty seven million without health care, that most are fifteen million youngsters working in slow and fast food industries, (I didn't have health insurance for me and my wife until we were in our thirties)or twenty to twenty five million are unregistered and registered aliens, and the rest, a very small minority, are the very, very poor, like the homeless, the unemployed, the chronic unemployed and .
Voters forget, if we don't fight the islamofasists over there we will be fighting them over here. My choice is to fight them over there.
The capitalistic economy has yo-yo ed for years. When the government keeps it's hand off it always rights itself.
The border fence is leaking to the point of our country being unsafe. I say fix it, throw out the bad aliens and make a law to permit US children with alien parents be allowed to gain citizenship, give the rest temporary work permits with expiration dates.
Romney, McCain, Guliani, and Huckabee have a long fight going forward.

After the election
John Kerry who was for the war, for paying for it, then said he was against it. He called himself a hero of Viet Nam, then had the Swift Boat officers prove him a liar. Kerry denouncing his fellow soldiers as rapists, murders, killers before a Democrat sub committee. He recently called anybody in the military stupid.
Nancy Palosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean, Durbin, and Kennedy are all against everything and for nothing. They have no new ideas except to raise the minimum wage. They have no ideas for halting the world wide Islamic terror campaign except to say we need to go in a new direction. What direction?
Eighty per cent of the national newspaper and television media are liberal. With zeal they publish government secrets, like NSA’s program for recording calls from Al Quida and Islamic fundamentalists that could repeat a Nine Eleven episode.
Terrorists have been terrorizing the world since way before Nine Eleven but liberals continue to be complacent and hold a blind eye. They believe it is all America’s fault for Islamic terrorism through out the world. Bush, et al, are fighting terror in Iraq instead of here at home. What a brilliant idea, Bush wants to spread liberty in the Middle East and the people of the Middle East voted to prove they want him to do so. What a brilliant concept. Spread liberty and secure our future safty.
If you believe the American media then you believe that there were no elections in Iraq, or Afghanistan, no improvement or gains made, no eighty thousand new businesses, no 100’s of schools reopened, water running , lights that go on, women voting and going to school, driving cars, and holding twenty five per cent of all government positions. In Kurdish northern Iraq there has not been one life lost by terrorism of our military or among the civilian population in over a year. The Kurds have built their first university and named it the American University. They love Americans. There are over a hundred and fifty free and independent newspapers and television stations now operating in Iraq. More than double the oil revenues are now being produced for the people than under Saddam for himself.
We lost 3000 troops and 40,000 Iraqis in three and a half years of fighting Saddam's Bathist party and then Islamic Fundamental terrorists, then death squads, then Shiite and Sunni militias. We lost 3000 troops in Iwo Jima in one hour fighting Japanese. Saddam is responsible for killing over a million of his own people. If we would have left him alone as the Democrats would have done we would have left Saddam to develop and sell or give away weapons to fellow terrorists.
To support of the idea of do nothing, or obstruct, or undermine this countries efforts to end terrorism or despotism as have liberal news media, and liberal politicians have done, and to not promote liberty thought out the world will leave to our children the fight of what O Sama says is WWIII. We in the west are in a global fight of Islamic fundimental thirteenth century beliefs versus freedom.

There Are Socialists in America!
There are Socialists in America. People who believe we would be better off as a nation under a socialist government instead of a capitalist one. They believe America would be a better nation if goverment spread the wealth. A government that controls big business and redistributes money from big corporations and the rich to more evenly balance the amount of money in the public's hands is the government they desire. A government that controls profits and incentives. A government that regulates what everyday people should be charged for items like, housing, power, medical care, and anything else deamed to be too expensive for everyday people.
Dreamers dream of a life in Shangri La where everyone loves one another and everything is free. That days are cloud free, warm and life is comfortable. There is no crime, no waste and everyone is the same.
Then, after sometimes a lifetime of dreaming they wake up to reality and they are suddenly 30,40,50,60,or 70 years old and realize that the real world is a little more competitive than the unreal land of Shangri La. That something or someone is charging for all this bliss.
Most people want to eat better, have a nicer home, to dress better, to give their children a chance to go to a little nicer school and have the things other kids have. What to do? They study, work hard, change their attitude and their values, and become goal oriented capitalists. They turn to the dark side as early as 18, right out of high school, some later in life, some avoid it as long as possible, some never do and become bitter because most everyone became a capitalist but them. They continued to dream of the warm, cloudless days and care free life with no strain, ever.
Of course their is one little caviat. Government workers! Buearucrats! Those that live off the backs of workers that produce goods and services. Government workers enjoy the security offered in Shangri La, no layoffs, no paycuts, no cutbacks in holidays, just cloudless days. Shangri La.
The next thing to look at is the politicans and burearucrats that are responsible for taking pieces of the capitalist's paycheck. Fair minded local, city, state and federal politicans. Who are these people that decide what's fair? We elected them but do they really know what's good for us andwhat they are doing? Are they experts? Which political party traditionally offers lower taxes, smaller government, and encourages business in their campaign pitches? Which party traditionally offers bigger government, higher taxes, and more control over people and business? Which politician affiliates themselves with either ideal?
If I'm now going after a better life as a capitalist I want to manage as much of my paycheck/income as possible, pay the smallest amount of taxes as possible. I want an efficiently run government that allows me to reach my new found goals.
I also want the best return on my retirement savings, Social Security is a rip off. I want the best return on my medical savings , Medicare is also a rip off, and I don't want to be nickled and dimed to death paying hidden extra taxes on gas, cigerettes, inspections, liciences, alcohol, phone, internet, television, movies, resturants, hotels, trains, cars, airlines, clothing, and anything else a politician/ buearucrat can think of to levy. In other words, everything I enjoy seeing , feeling, smelling, tasting, or hearing.
I want to create my own real life Shangri La right here within my own family.
I vote Republican for these reasons.
