We should not be afraid to defund Obamacare

What went wrong?

Barack Obama is not popular. With the economy as bad off as it is he should have been pretty easy to defeat, and the wind seemed to be at our backs but much to our horror election night went down with the GOP on a national level in defeat. On an individual state basis though we actually shored up some pretty significant wins but that will be another blog. It is a tradition of the GOP to tear itself apart 24-7 anyway, but things get worse upon losing a major election.

The truth about the truth about Obama's Rose Garden speech (Yes that was deliberate)

Round 2: FIGHT!
 

The media wanted a feistier Obama and the got it with the help of tonight’s sham moderator of course. Whether you think Obama won or Romney depends on if you think that Romney's ceding to the moderator’s erroneous claim that Obama did declare Bengasi an act of terror, "if only you'd read the transcript" was the bigger deal or if Obama's stating he believes higher gas prices were a sign of economic recovery was. For me it ought to be the latter rather than the former as comments like this reveal a stunning cluelessness about how the economy works. Once again Democrats prove their loyalty to the failed ideas of John Maynard Keynes. High prices do not lead to shared prosperity. On that note, please pay attention to an interesting phenomenon, when Romney leads in the polls gas prices start to slip, when Obama does they start to go up again. Might be coincidence, but then again Obama did say he felt electricity rates should "necessarily skyrocket" under his plan so there you go...

Frustrating Polls In Spite of Poor Economic Reports

Obama running against things no one is suggesting

Clinton gave a good speech, or so I heard. I cannot stand the Democrats any more, they are so extreme any one of them start talking and I tune out. Democrats too often jump immediately to “hate “and “racist” that it becomes hard to have a serious policy discussion. From what I hear Clinton broke that mold and did give a policy discussion, one that has a lot of pundits on the right worried, not because he was right, but because no one will fact check his numbers, which apparently need to be fact checked as he counts money used for Obamacare as though it could be used for Medicare at the same time creating a huge flaw in his math. You cannot spend the same dollar twice. I'm an artist not a mathematician, but double checking any politician's math regardless of party seems like common sense to me.

Akin’s stubbornness could cost us the election

Akin fancies himself too much...

In 2010 I had one candidate who I knew in my heart was destined for great things. Those of you who know me know who that candidate was, everyone else I supported was, for me, about getting the best candidate possible and then getting them elected. The one I felt had a destiny for greatness lost, though I still have a hunch great things are on their way from him as he may have lost his race but other avenues have opened for him.

How Mia Can Win: Don't Let Matheson Define Her

On April 22^nd I posted a blog summarizing this year’s convention. In it I expressed concern that Mia Love would be subjected to the same sorts of slander that her predecessors have been. I stated that she needed to get out in front of the silliness and attack the idea of “right wing extremism,” an ill-defined term that the newspapers have been using to scare people into voting as close to Democrat as their conscious will allow. It’s a term the party needs to deal with because it is, as a point of fact, the primary weapon of the Democrats, and a great method of distraction. After all, why pay attention to the spending and the loss of liberty if we are flinging mud at each other?

Obamacare is Obamatax, and fighting amongst ourselves won’t change it.

I was stunned and must admit had an adverse reaction to the Supreme Courts ruling, and I was especially appalled at Chief Justice Roberts whose stunning ruling that Obamacare could remain intact as a tax was quite unexpected... He's a Bush appointee. I did not respond well to that news. I have always tried to be civil, I failed in my response calling a few choice names for which I must apologize. I am also angry with the tepid response some of the leaders of our party have given when we rely upon them to shield us from this nonsense. So I will apologize for any hurt feelings I may have caused, ask for your forgiveness where appropriate and strive to do better going forward. Outbursts from me are few and far between, I am usually much better than that and for those who follow me on Facebook you all deserve better, but my appeal to all the factions is this; at the end of the day trying to purge one another from the party will yield nothing.
