MCCAIN NATION or an OBAMA NATION?

Last Night, Future President John McCain gave a lousy speech. It included details and policy positions that bored many folks to tears. Whereas I may think that Senator McCain is too Moderate for my tastes, many folks like what he has accomplished, and is going to accomplish.
His town hall meetings across America and his overseas adventures and trips for the past many decades, show that he is who should be in charge of our Nuclear football.

His other two opponents, Hillary who can't seem to make a decision until she talks to her advisers on continuing her campaign or not and Obama who changes his oratory faster than a Klinton can fabricate a story, are neither qualified or experienced to carry the responsibility of running the Crystal Palace or communicate with the looking glass.

If North Korea invades South Korea, will Obama want to talk with them in his best Chamberlainesque manners? Billary appears as if she were in charge, that she would intentionally not make a decision, and wait for her advisers to tell her how it will affect her political career.

In Hillary's non decision speech, she reminded me of that psycho-chick that you date once, and she won't leave. She will blackmail, connive, cheat, and bully her way onto the presidential ticket one way or another. She may still have delusions about getting help from rules committees and SUPER Delegates to get the nomination at the Democrat National Convention for the presidential spot. If she can't get what she wants, she may settle for the VP spot. It won't matter to her what damage she causes Obama, the Democrats or the United States in the process. No matter what Barrack does she will not go away. (Hmmmm, seems that Billy with all his choices of skirts that he chased got stuck with the psycho-chick that wouldn't go away.)

Now, finally the Obama-Nation. As he poses looking right, then dramatically poses looking left after each of his absurd statements, I wonder who will pay for his pie in the sky at the old by and by...

First: This historical journey is ending. Which historical Journey? Does he mean the experiment called the United States of America? (Reminds me of his statement, "We live in the greatest Nation ever on the face of the Earth, Help me change it.")

Second: Free Universal Health Care for All
Third: Free University Tuition for All
Fourth: Free Money for those without Jobs for All

Wow! Who is going to pay for all this? You, Me and all of us hard working Americans, that's who.
Of course he kept saying that he wants change, and to me that means he wants my change, your change, our change. He wants to empty our pockets.He wants our hard earned pay before we even get our paychecks.

Currently we have the lowest unemployment at less than 5% than we have had in years.
We have the Best health care in the world, unencumbered by government.
We have the best colleges in the world.
Obama wants to change all that and pay with it with our change, dollars, and paychecks.

In an Obama-Nation, we go back to the old tried and failed policies of the New Deal.
That truly would be an Obama-Nation.

No thank you, A McCain Nation is liberal enough for me (perhaps a little too liberal...)

GREAT GOP STATE CONVENTION!!!

I’m Curious, How many Delegates are going to represent Ron Paul at the National Convention?
While I may disagree with Dr. Paul on how best to defend ourselves as Western Civilization is under siege, I like the energy and enthusiasm of many of his younger supporters. Unfortunately, there are a few elements of his supporters that have zero class. ( My good friend Indian Aaron had his motocycle vandalized and they left a Ron Paul sticker on the paint of his bike. Suffice it to say, that he is on the warpath, and I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of his wrath. He does not play well with vandals, thieves, or any other “recidivistic scum” as he calls them.) However, all in all, I was impressed with most of the new folks to the GOP at the State convention, and I was happy with how the convention turned out, even with a few rough moments near the end.
I had folks on both sides of some actions mad at me. Oh well, they’ll either get over it or they won’t…

One of the best parts of the whole convention, was that after it was obvious that Mr. McCain will be the nominee for the GOP, that many of the supporters of Ron Paul are not going away. This is a very good thing!
The addition to the GOP of many young and youthful Ron Paul supporters reminds me of the generational changes to the GOP.

Many liberal leaning folks still paint the GOP as Rockefeller Republicans, but they are so out of date in their thinking. Goldwater and his supporters changed the dynamic of the GOP, and it was a painful evolution for the Rockefeller Republicans, Same for the Goldwater Guys, as Reagan molded the GOP on his way to becoming president. Gingrich and the young freshmen representatives and Senators further modified the party in 1994.

Now, we are in the middle of the newest influx into the GOP. Similar to McCain, Ron Paul is an older Republican, He may take credit for the change in Party Dynamics, but the real modification will come from his young pro-individual liberty supporters. I suspect that they will have a new candidate to rally behind, and may be around for quite some time.

Many of the young supporters, who were not entirely thrilled with the outcome of the State convention threatened to run against long standing precinct committee officers. This is the spark that the old guard needs.
The deadline to register to run for PCO is this week. Don’t delay. I hope that I will have an opponent, too.

Why on earth would I want an opponent? Because I believe that many small races for PCO positions are good for the party. Those of us who have become complacent will need to get out and defend our long held offices, and those who want to shape the future of the party will find out what is involved in running campaigns at local levels. It will be good for all.

I disagree with about 20% of what the newest folks to the party believe. That means we agree 80% of the time. That’s good enough for me. I welcome the future and look forward to the influx of our newest members of the GOP’s Big Tent.
