THE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM IS THAT REPUBLICANS WILL GAIN IN CONGRESS IN 2010...
BUT THIS COULD BE VERY WRONG...
WHILE REPUBLICANS MAY WIN AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL...BECAUSE PEOPLE FEAR DEMOCRAT SUPPORT OF GREEDY LOCAL PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS...
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS A DIFFERENT STORY...
PEOPLE STILL REMEMBER THE BUSH DISASTER...!
IT IS UNLIKELY THAT AN UNEMPLOYED OR UNINSURED PERSON WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR CONGRESS IN THE 2010 ELECTIONS...
THE REPUBLICAN MANTRA ABOUT BIG GOVERNMENT JUST DOESN'T RING TRUE TO MANY PEOPLE...
BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS ARE ALWAYS AN UNMITIGATED DISASTER WHEN THEY RUN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT...
EVEN IF AT THE STATE LEVEL THEY OFTEN CONTROL LOCAL PUBLIC UNIONS AND KEEP LOCAL TAXES LOW...
ADDITIONALLY...AND THIS IS THE BIG ONE...REPUBLICANS...WHO ARE ESSENTIALLY SUPPORTED BY THE RICH, THE SPECIAL INTERESTS AND WALL STREET...HAVE LOST THEIR EDGE ON THE OLD "MORALITY" ISSUES...THE SO CALLED "WEDGE ISSUES..."
HERE'S WHY...
"WEDGE ISSUES" ARE IMPORTANT ...TO SOME PEOPLE...WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WELL...WHEN THE ECONOMY IS WORKING...AND THERE ARE NO GEOPOLITICAL PROBLEMS...
IN HARD TIMES AS NOW...THE "WEDGE ISSUES" ARE A LUXURY THE WORKING CLASS "BUBBA" REPUBLICANS JUST CAN'T AFFORD...
THE ECONOMY IS IN A SECOND GREAT DEPRESSION... IN FLY OVER COUNTRY...AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT...
THE "BUBBA VOTERS" IN FLY OVER COUNTRY ...WHO MAY HAVE HAD THE LUXURY OF VOTING WITH WALL STREET...BASED ON SOME FEARS ABOUT "GUN RIGHTS," ABORTION OR "BIG GOVERNMENT"...SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE THAT OPTION...WHEN THE BUBBAS OF THE WORLD ARE UNEMPLOYED AND UNINSURED...
WORSE...THE REPUBLICANS ARE VOTING EN MASSE...FOR THE STATUS QUO...NO CHANGE...
REPUBLICANS HAVE BECOME THE PARTY OF "NO"...AT A TIME WHEN AMERICANS ARE DEALING WITH A REPUBLICAN CAUSED DEPRESSION THAT IS WORSE THAN THE 1930'S...AND THEY WANT ANSWERS OTHER THAN "NO!"
JUST SAYING "NO" WILL NOT CUT THE MUSTARD 2010...!
IN SHORT...I REALLY WANT TO SEE THESE FLY OVER BUBBA VOTERS...WHO ARE INCREASING UNINSURED...AND/OR...UNEMPLOYED...WHERE MAIN STREET IS IN A GREAT DEPRESSION...VOTE REPUBLICAN
I WANT TO SEE THEM PLUNGE FOR THE PARTY OF "NO" IN 2010...
I WILL BE SHOCKED..! OBAMA SHOULD BE GETTING THE SAME VOTE THAT ROOSEVELT GOT AFTER 1932...AND BEYOND... NO ONE WAS REVERTING TO REPUBLICANS IN THE 1930'S...
REPUBLICANS HAVE BECOME A PARTY DETACTED FROM THE REAL NEEDS OF THEIR "BUBBA BASE"...WHO ARE NOT DRINKING THE "WEDGE ISSUE" KOOL-AID ANYMORE...
IN 2010...THESE OLD REPUBLICAN WEDGE ISSUES... OF GAY MARRIAGE, ABORTION, GUN RIGHTS, AND GOD WON'T WORK...INDEED THEY WILL BE LAUGHABLE ...!
IN 2010, THE REAL ISSUES OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND LACK OF INSURANCE WILL BE KEY...NOT BIG GOVERNMENT...OR THE OLD "WEDGE ISSUES"...
AND ABOUT THOSE REAL ISSUES...REPUBLICANS HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ...EXCEPT..."NO!"
