Start The Underground Movement

On the eve of one of the volatile and unpredictable Presidential elections in history, we are faced with a few basic truths.

1. John McCain has a very narrow path to the White House.
2. Barack Obama is the most left-wing candidate in recent memory.
3. The Democrats have a fair chance of getting 60 seats in the Senate.
4. Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and Reed will shape the political landscape for a generation or more.
5. The makeup of the Supreme Court and all Federal Courts will shift very hard left.
6. Taxes will go up.
7. Energy costs will go up.
8. Obama will not know how to deal with international issues, and will be taken advantage of.
9. International trade will grind to a halt, costing jobs here.
10. Healthcare will become the biggest source of Government fraud.

This seems to be what we are going to be faced with come Wednesday. Obama has already started giving policy speeches, and has all but stopped running for President. He has worked the last weeks of the process with arrogance, and contempt. He knows his money is good, and he can use it to buy his way to the White House.

With the press protecting him, and people more liberal than he is waiting for his election, true Republicans will not stand a chance of doing anything meaningful for at least two years. Our greatest hope will be another Republican Revolution in the mid-term elections.

THE WORK MUST START NOW.

When Obama is inaugurated in January, one of the first pieces of legislation to cross his desk will be The Fairness Doctrine. This will be the beginning of an effort to silence conservative voices on talk radio, television, and the internet. We need to find a way to keep the conversations going, and a way to get our voices out to the public.

We can not afford to let this happen again. The last time the country took a turn this hard to the left, it took more then 40 years to get it back to center-right. No American can afford another 40 years of liberal tax and spend.

If thing go as they appear they will on Tuesday, we must start finding candidates immediately. We must lay the groundwork for 2010. We must raise money, start a new grass-roots network, have newer bolder ideas and most of all, not let the left outwork us to the mid-terms.

Obama’s Audacity of Despair

Senator Obama spent upwards of 5 million dollars last night to let all of America know a few things about his presidency. In one of the most self-centered moves ever pulled off in American politics, he let us know what a horrible country we all live in, and how he and the Democrat led government will fix it for you.

In his own little mock up of the Oval Office, he let us know what the key to fixing America is…snacks. Yes, that’s right; one family that has to ration snack food to their children has led us down the path to the largest takeover of private business by the federal government in the history of this nation.

If it was not the lack of snacks that have done us in, it must be the woman who cannot decide if it is going to be a gallon of milk or a half gallon. With problems like these rampant in America, who needs a strong military, or a President who has such a firm grasp of foreign policy?

The truth be told, there was nothing funny whatsoever about Obama’s infomercial, last night. What we saw was what his vision is of America today. He sees a country of people with problems, and they have no idea how to solve them. Once again, he has shown the true belief of a far left liberal…the only true solutions come from government.

This sad idea is not new. Roosevelt and Johnson have their finger prints all over the nanny state that exists today, and the programs have never worked. If the ideas to end poverty, and put people back to work have been so successful, then why do these problems still exist today…and according to Obama, in greater numbers then ever?

Throwing more money at these problems will not make them go away, and will only make the ignorant say that we need to do even more.

What we really need is the government to take less of what we have to give to others, and let people keep more of what they have. There should be no penalty for being successful in America.
