It’s coming to television near you. The November elections are slowly but surely creeping upon us. It’s a Republican year, whatever that means. Hailed as “change,” “hope,” and other nonsense words, 2006 and 2008 were Democrat years. The American electorate had shifted forever, we were told. I never drank the Kool-aid. The nation was in a difficult situation in Iraq and the press was devoted to negative 24/7 news coverage. Some things have changed the past four years and some things have stayed the same.
The Democrats rule Washington now and Iraq is no longer in the headlines; however, there’s still enough bad news to go around. The economy stinks and it doesn’t look like it’s improving for awhile. The Democrat solutions so far have been massive handouts to their constituents, a.k.a., politically-powerful and already-monied cronies like unions. Americans are outraged. The other big accomplishment for the Democrats is ObamaCare. While the economy ails and the nation lurches toward bankruptcy the Democrats forced a massive health care takeover bill through Congress. The Republicans don’t have a clue, don’t have a plan, and simply being not-as-incompetent appears to be the GOP platform.
In 2006, the Democrats ran successfully as fiscal conservatives. The Democrats that won that year may actually believe their own rhetoric, but the party is completely opposed to restraining the size and funding of government. President Obama doesn’t care about fiscal restraint and his solution to every problem is a new government agency, program, or czar to oversee it. This has created an election nightmare for the Democrats. Their leadership has a political philosophy that is the exact opposite of the average American voter. The Democratic party is devoted to the current immigration situation; in fact, they’re okay with amnesty. The Democratic party wants socialized medicine. The Left is disappointed that ObamaCare wasn’t bigger. The Democrats want to drive up the cost of energy to save the planet. The Democrats would rather raise taxes and spend more money during a recession. The Republicans don’t have to do anything to run against these morons.
The fact that the GOP doesn’t have to do anything is a major problem. There’s no debate. This is another election about nothing. Someone tell me what the Republicans are going to do when they’re elected? I’ll tell you what they’ll do. Not a damn thing. They won’t have the votes to accomplish anything except to block Obama’s agenda. In some ways I’m sure the President is looking forward to demonizing the new majority. The press won’t have a problem with this talking point. The White House has bashed their detractors from day one. The Republicans need to have a plan or they will just be temporary government caretakers.
