AMERICAN CONSERVATISM IN 2008 AND BEYOND

The worst part of any presidential campaign is actually listening to the candidates. They drone on, endlessly, repeating the same talking points in the same stump speeches, for months. Many of them are very poor public speakers. Most of them, actually. And then, there are their jokes.

That speech he gave at the DNC in 2004 is superior to any you'll ever give in your life, Okie. And you know it.Cycloptichorn

I live in reality. I do not live in the illusionary morass of Obama speak and standing in his line for more koolaid, which is we can all have "something for nothing." Not only is the koolaid empty promises, but it will cause us only more harm.

While it may not be unusual for voters’ attention to be focused elsewhere at this stage of a campaign, the survey at the very least provides a reality check for a race that has received frenetic coverage at times on cable news and the Internet even though nearly 60 percent of Republicans cannot point to a single candidate about whom they are enthusiastic, according to the Times/CBS poll.

A host of potential Republican candidates have a lot of work ahead — and money to spend — to make themselves better known to their party faithful and other Americans.

For instance, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota may be drawing media attention as a Republican presidential contender, but nearly 80 percent of Republican respondents to the Times/CBS poll said they did not know enough about him to say whether they viewed him favorably or unfavorably (of those who do have an opinion, 20 percent say they view him positively and 3 percent say they view him negatively).

What do you mean, 'something for nothing?' When has he ever said that?Cycloptichorn

Of course he wil never say those exact words. You need to be smart enough and honest enough to interpret who he is and what his policies attempt to do. For example, Obamacare or his ultimate aim, single payer health care, the implication is that everyone will be taken care of without it costing the government or people anything at all.

It was a total pack of lies from the very beginning.

Also just basic philosophy, he does not believe in free market capitalism, but instead in more socialism, and anyone with common sense knows the success of this country is foundationed upon freedom and free markets, not more and more socialism. In fact, the socialistic programs we already have are threatening to bankrupt us into oblivion, and will unless we do something meaningfull to prevent it.

What in the world do you think Obama was hollering about during his entire campaign regarding hope and change? I can tell you it wasn't about loving America and improving what we already have in terms of the tremendous tradition of success, which is confidence in the people. His confidence was in government and it still is, and will remain until we sweep him and his ilk out of office in future elections.

Liberals are and will become more and more hysterical as their chosen messiahs prove they are frauds, and as upcoming elections prepare to sweep them aside.
