First, pictures of me in full McCain-Palin will not be appearing on my blog. I just don't have the heart to put the stuff back on, but pictures of me are coming.. Sheila, and American Sweetheart you will not be disappointed, you will just have to wait a while....
As Andy Williams once sang, "Where do I begin...." Forgive me, but, I am going to go all over the place in this essay becuase so much stuff is going on, I have to cover it all. So let us begin...
As far as voter turnout goes, acording to the pollsters, all the liberals showed up, all the so-called moderates showed up, but 14% of conservatives stayed home.
Gee, I wonder why... No actually I know the reason why and I can sum it up in two words.... John McCain!!!!
It is ridiculous, for the so-called Republicans to come out trashing Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin was the only reason why you got anyone exited about your campaign. I'm consistent, check my previous blogs... I was never a real John McCain fan. I only decided to volunteer for him and give him all that money, after his apperance at Saddleback and his pick of Sarah Palin...
Maybe if we had a candidate conservatives could believe in and get befind, the 14% of conservatives who stayed home would have showed up and we would have won. But instead we had a candidate, who was the author of such things as the amnesty bill, campaign finance reform, and the gang of fourteen... and so on and so forth.
We also had a candiate who proclaimed his long standing friendship with people like Ted Kennedy, Al Gore and Charlie Rangle.
Boy, that will sure get conservatives to the polls. We also had a candidate who did not mind attacking and going right after other conservatives but would not attack The Messiah because he wanted to run a "respectable" campaign. Remember the last Republican that ran a "respectable" campaign. It was Senator Bob Dole in 1996.... That worked out so well.....
For McCain campaign staffers to blame this on Governor Palin is beyond ridiculous. Did I hear correctly that a few guys were upset becuase when they went to Sarah Palin's Hotel Room, she answered the door wearing a towel? That would not upset me....
Sarah is what galvanized the conservatives behind McCain. If he picked Flip Romney or liberal Rudy, he would have lost by more.
Sarah is a conservative, plain and simple. She is like one of us. McCain is not one of us, he was clearly better than The Flase Messiah, but our votes were not so much for him as much as they were against Obama. That's why in the future we have to nominate real conservatives that the conservative majority can passionately support. No more reaching out, like Harry Truman used to say "If you put a Republican against a Republican every single time, they will put in a Republican. If you put a Democrat against a Democrat every time they will put in a Democrat." What he was trying to say is we have two major parties for a reason and they should not try to copy each other. If they are just carbon copies of each other the people will not have a choice.
We have to stop trying to out-liberal the Democrats. They are never going to love us or vote for us. I have never sought a liberal's approval before I made a decsion. I don't know why so many Republicans want liberals to love them. What happenned to "bold colors, no pale pastels" (Ronald Reagan, 1979) Maybe in the long run, this was the best thing that could happen to the GOP. Now we have a chance to save the once great party from the merlo drinking liberal country club idiots that have taken over.
Some good news that came out of this election.... Chris Shays RINO CT lost, and I'm happy about that. Don't let the door hit you on the way out Chris, you spineless liberal. Michele Bachmann a Real Republican frpom Minnesota won. She is the future of this party, I would walk through fire to protect her. She would make an awesome President someday. Can you imagine the look of horror on the liberals faces when she is sworn in.... People like Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, Mike Pentz, and Paul Ryan are the ones who have to make this the party of Lincoln and Reagan again.
Also there is a role for Speaker Newt Gingrich to play, he should use American Solutions, as sort of a shadow government to the Obama Administration. When Obama does something wrong, (which will happen on a daily basis). He can explain to the people why it will not work and what we should do instead. I have so much respect for Speaker Gingrich. He is another one that helped our cause a great deal over the years. Even though he has recently taken a position on global warming that seems to be a little strange, if he ran for President in 2012 I would do everything in my power to get him to the Oval Office.
Remember, the commies did not get 60 votes in the Senate, so we can still filibuster, if they do anything real extreme or stupid. What am I saying??? Everything they do is exrtreme and stupid.
More Soldiers and Marines are not going to re-enlist becuase they will not serve under President Obama. At a time we need to be growing the military, this is very dangerous.
Finally, my prayers are for the unborn children, I care about a lot of things, but this is the issue, that made me who I am today. As a person who cannot have children naturally becuase of a bone marrow transplant years ago, I can attest, there are so many people out there who would love to adopt. If and when I get married, I intend to adopt. I want someone to call me Dad one day. That would be the most wonderful sound in the world. It would be even better than, I Michael John Smith Jr. do solemnly swear.... Yes, I would rather be a father someday than anything else.
At this moment where the majority in power is now standing against us, we must continue to advance the culture of life. If we turn our backs on the children nothing else matters. If we are not born, we cannot do anything.
It's Saturday Night! May God Bless America!
