In a recent AP-KN poll 47% of Democrats say Obama should be challenged in the 2012 Democratic Primary. This shows how disenchanted Democrats themselves are becoming with the anointed one. This is also why I believe that this November 2nd the Republicans and Tea Party are going to win bigger than the polls currently reflect. The reason for this is because the Conservative base is jazzed up against Obama and his ilk and the Liberal base is not jazzed up for them. In Bush’s 2nd term win in 2004 the Kerry/Edwards ticket thought they were going to win big with the youth vote. They thought the youth of America were all psyched up to vote for them. Instead the youth of America stayed home and played Play Station 2. Well this time is no different. What has Obama done for the minorities, the poor, women, and all the downtrodden lately? Well they haven’t seen the free cars, homes, and cell phones yet, have they? Where are the bags of money Obama had promised them? Didn’t Obama say that when he was elected the seas would stop rising, Global Warming would stop, the recession would halt, a new era of post-racism and bi-partisanship would began. Well the seas weren’t rising and Global Warming wasn’t happening in the first place, but I’m not sure I’m gonna give Obama credit for stopping something that never was happening. The recession hasn’t been halted, unemployment keeps rising. Obama Care was passed with no Republican votes and Stimulus was passed with no Republican House votes. Doesn’t sound like a new era of bi-partisanship to me. The point however is that the left is not exited about this Administration or their policies. No one is excited about Obama Care. No one is even running on the merits of Obama Care. Many Democrats are actually running on the platform that they appose Obama and Pelosi. Current polls are not going to reflect that the Left isn’t even going to show up to vote while the Right is climbing over each other to cast their vote. While Play Station 2 is not going to be the primary interest of the left on Election Day, Xbox 360 will be.
Jeffrey Miron, Harvard University, writes an excellent essay on the Obama Stimulus plan. This is a must read for all voters as they go to the polls on November 2nd. Jeffrey points out that the Administration’s stated goal of providing economic stimulus in accordance with the Keynesian model was perhaps not the Administration’s primary objective. Despite the Keynesian model’s lack of complete merit the Obama Administration does claim to follow its guide in their economic stimulus plan. The Stimulus however doesn’t follow Keynesian model necessarily, so the question begs to be asked, if not stimulus, what are their objectives? Below is Jeffrey Miron’s conclusion.
The Administration should have endorsed a stimulus package based on a repeal of the corporate income tax and reductions in employment taxes. This policy would have accomplished its stated goals, and the budgetary implications would have been less negative than those of the package ultimately adopted because this alternative plan would have enhanced rather than detracted from economic efficiency. This approach would also have been difficult for Republicans to oppose.
Yet the Administration did not take this approach, presumably because its true goals were not just economic stimulus. Instead, the Administration wanted to reward its constituencies (unions, environmentalists, public education) and increase the size and scope of government. This tactic is consistent with the Administration’s policies in general. Across the board, it has taken a big government, redistributionist approach, whether regarding housing, unions, health, the auto industry, trade, antitrust, or financial regulation. The Administration’s view appears to be that government is better than individuals at deciding how taxpayers get to spend their money and that government should engineer large transfers from richer to poorer.
Clinton and several other high ranking Democrats have reportedly requested that Florida U.S. Senate Candidate Kendrick Meek step out of the race and give former Republican now Independent Charlie Crist a chance at beating Republican Marco Rubio. They are purportedly believe that Crist and Meek are splitting a voter demographic that wouldn’t vote for Rubio. Hmmm, the question is, why don’t they ask Crist to bow out and give Meek a chance? I propose that it is because Kendrick Meek is black. Anyway it makes for a fun time. You know that Republicans would be accused of racism for doing the same. It’s almost as fun watching the Democrats and Libs kill each other as watching squirrels water ski.
Why become a citizen any more? Without becoming a citizen you get free health care, voting rights, a driver’s license, education, and more. Actually it’s even worse than that, not only do you not need to become a citizen, you don’t even have to be here legally. The 9th Circus Court is on a rampage again, unilaterally changing this country from the intentions of the founding fathers to a border-less socialist utopia. It struck down Proposition 200, a measure passed by Arizona voters in 2004 requiring individuals to produce proof of citizenship, such as a passport, to register to vote, and a picture ID such as a driver’s license, or two pieces of nonphoto ID, in order to cast a ballot. This Court is completely out of control overruling the will of the people of Arizona in the name of upholding the Constitution it tramples on in a regular basis. In a joint statement, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and Secretary of State Ken Bennett, called the ruling “an outrage and a slap in the face to all Arizonans who care about the integrity of their elections.“
I guess you didn’t get the support from Sara Palin that you were looking for. Oh well, I guess we can’t all get what we want. I really thought Sara would go for this one though, but I guess not. Better luck next time. Maybe Glenn and Sara just like to see you guys dance like a squirrel on a power cord as much as I do.
Harvard law professor Larry Tribe wrote the following letter to his protégé, President Barack Obama, shortly after Justice Souter’s announced that he would retire from the Supreme Court. In the following exerpt from that letter he is writing about Obama’s potential nomination of Sonia Sotomayor as Souter’s replacement.
Bluntly put, she’s not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is, and her reputation for being something of a bully could well make her liberal impulses backfire and simply add to the fire power of the Roberts/Alito/Scalia/Thomas wing of the Court on issues like those involved in the voting rights case argued last week and the Title VII case of the New Haven firefighters argued earlier, issues on which Kennedy will probably vote with Roberts despite Souter’s influence but on which I don’t regard Kennedy as a lost cause for the decade or so that he is likely to remain on the Court.
According to scientists at UC San Diego and Harvard University, “ideology is affected not just by social factors, but also by a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4.”
I think we should start pursuing the cure immediately, now that we have found the cause. I have a few suggestions as some therapeutic methods to provide relief to the symptoms. Get a job, read the Bible, go to Church, listen to Rush Limbaugh from noon to 3 Eastern, Read Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. If these methods provide no relief to the symptoms and the infected victim still has a desire to watch Keith Overbite, believes Robert Fibbs, worships Obama, reads Das Kapital and Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals then more aggressive methods need to be employed. First, you should start by water boarding the victim, now this hasn’t been shown to help at all with the symptoms but it does promise to be very pleasurable for the one administering the therapy. Second, ship the victim to Venezuela or France.
