Last night was the best news for the freedom loving American people in the last twelve months. The voters have sent a message to leadership in both parties! They want a return to the principles embodied in the Constitution that made this country great. They want the people sent to Washington to actually represent them!
The American people were duped last year by a presidential candidate who campaigned as a moderate only to govern as a Socialist. The Republican wins of governors races in Virginia and New Jersey is a wake-up call,especially for the “Blue Dog Democrats”regardless of how the White House tries to spin it. Obama campaigned for the Democrats in both states and if anything at all his attempt to “help”likely hurt his democratic candidates there. The old tactic of trying to blame George Bush just doesn’t fly any more.
Anyone that thinks that Obama is still popular with voters needs to have his head examined. According to some polls he has lost more faith with the voters than anyone in the last century other than Nixon in ’73. Yes he is a personable fellow and his face still gets favorable ratings,but his policies are overwhelmingly rejected by the people whenever they see them. The worsening economy,the attempt to nationalize industry,the government attempt to control first one industry after another and to restrict the rights and freedoms of the American people are not popular concepts. As people see the results of this direction of Obama and the Democratic party they object more and more. That objection showed up in the “Tea Parties”last summer and now at the ballot boxes last night. All indications are that this is just a tiny peek at what is to be expected next November.
The White House has tried to spin this as not a referendum against Obama and Obamacare,but the exit polls speak differently. People don’t like the direction of the country and they are turning against the party in power in a big way. Washington has ignored the “Tea Parties”this year and the people are showing their displeasure in a manner that can not be disputed by rational folks. Of course can you really say Obama and the Democratic leadership are rational folks?
What does this say for the likely 2010 mid term elections? It basically says that if the Republicans put up some straight talking conservative candidates they will likely sweep the slate! However,lest the Republicans grin about the prospects too much,it also showed that if the Republicans pull another “Scozzafava”then the question is up for grabs. People are getting sick and tired of the Republican leaderships actions as well.
There was no party primary in NY to pick a candidate. Party bosses picked an ultra liberal that by her voting record leans even to the left of her Democrat opponent!! In fact by some counts she leans to the left of the majority of her Democratic legislators in the NY assembly! Only on Second Amendment rights does she show any conservative principles. Even Newt Gingrich endorsed her under his concept of the “big tent”principle for the party . To his credit,when it became apparent that she was not a loyal Republican,he endorsed Hoffman and worked to try to help him get elected. Dede Scozzafava was given some $900,000 during the last month of her candidacy by the Republican party. This is money donated by persons who thought they are supporting candidates that stand for basic Republican principles and instead it goes to someone who would have voted right down the line with the Democrats and Obamaites in Washington!
She used that money primarily to campaign against her Conservative party opponent. He was a long time Republican who ran as the Conservative party candidate after he was repulsed by Republican party bosses. Then to add insult to injury,when she saw she was running third in a three party race she pulled out on the eve of the election and endorsed the Democrat!! Wow,what an insult to the donors of the Republican party.
As a result the conservative candidate,Doug Hoffman,lost the election by three points while Scuzzball still got 5% of the vote even though she has pulled out of the election. This was the largest percentage of the vote ever received in history by a Conservative Party candidate! Had the Republicans picked someone who represented republican views,or failed to support this RINO because of her far left record the Republicans would likely have another vote in the house next year.
This sends a real message to the Republican contributors. “If you want your donations to go to people that share your views,don’t give it through the Republican party.”This will definitely bite the Republican party on the posterior! Conservative Republicans will not be nearly so eager to donate their hard-earned cash to a party that will squander it on RINOs who don’t reflect their views.
Democrats should take note of the two governorships that were lost last night. If they continue as they have been doing and don’t pay attention to the people,they had best have another occupation lined up for when they get fired next November! Republicans need to recognize that there is no advantage to having someone with an “R”in their name that votes with the opposition the vast majority of the time.
Yep. This off year election carries a big message to both parties. The majority of Americans are still basically conservative people and do not want the socialist agenda we are seeing being forced on our country. We want our representatives to actually represent us,not George Soros. We want our Constitution back!
Message of Off Year Elections ’09 –“Dear Washington,we want our constitution back.”
