And John Anderson, a Republican ran as an independent and took another six points that would have mostly gone to the GOP.Freedom Fighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649470110087808596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-23816586318384644422009-06-29T22:43:09.361-07:002009-06-29T22:43:09.361-07:00Hey Louie,
Here's a key point of difference be...Hey Louie,<br />Here's a key point of difference between 1980 and what I see for 2012. <br /><br />In 1980, people were disgusted with Jimmy Carter - the gas lines, huge interest rates, cowardly and inane foreign policy, etc.- but the country had not been physically attacked, our economic system was hurting but not unhinged, and as lousy a president as Carter was, he never attempted what BHO has, the wholesale dismantling of America's basic fabric and institutions.<br /><br />In 2012, we are likely to see even higher gas prices, interest rates and unemployment. And while America's middle class was hurting during the Carter years,I feel it's going to be worse during the Obama years. <br /><br />I also think that there will be at least one major foreign policy fiasco that even the media won't be able to cover Obama on.<br /><br />As for the bet.. you know, I don't hold much with polls, but Obama's approval is down to an average of 58%, and that includes polls that vastly oversample Democrats by 20%. That's an historically awesome drop for 6 months, and I think the actual numbers are even lower. Rasmussen, one of the few independent pollsters has his approval index in minus territory for the first time. <br /><br />The midterms will be a key bellweather - that, and if the GOP gets its act together and get some decent leadership.<br /><br />My sole question is whether our democratic institutions will survive as BHO and the Left get kicked to the curb.<br /><br />Regards,<br />RobFreedom Fighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649470110087808596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-58161290277513064992009-06-29T21:47:05.120-07:002009-06-29T21:47:05.120-07:00oops.

The most encouraging bit...Hi CA,<br />Yes, quite a bit.<br /><br />The most encouraging bit of news I can give you is that G-d controls this world, and what is occurring now is part of His plan and purpose. And no, that's not intended to be an endorsement of the Rapture or the End of Days( although you never know!).<br /><br />Second, keep in mind the idea of historical resonance, on which more in a separate article. Briefly, Barack Hussein Obama was elected president because he reflected a certain state of mind in the American electorate..so now we will experience what that kind of leadership is like, to the point where we become physically sick of it and reject it out of hand. think of it as the final stage of the Soviet's gramscian warfare, the wholesale attack on our culture and institutions that started in the 1920's.People like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and others are the direct fruit of this, and they will end up repudiated and disgraced to the point that they never threaten this coutry again.<br /><br />For that to happen, the American people will have to see for themselves where that road leads, and that will involve a certain cost in blood and treasure.I would have thought that a dose of Carter in th e1970's would have been sufficient, but men have short memories.<br /><br />Think of it as a kind of immunization, where certain symptoms of the disease are suffered in mild form in order to avoid a more serious case.<br /><br />What's uncertain to me is wheter our democratic institutions will prevail or whether we will go the way of the Roman Republic, our direct ancestor.
