Ahhh, thank heaven the circuses are over, and political discord can advance to the next-to-last stage of smash mouth positioning. Both sides have had their turn at their highly visible, yet self-indulgent, pep rallies and now it’s time to get down to business.
Smash Mouth Politics
The remainder of September will be filled with punch, and counter-punch, bantering with media pundits keeping score on who lands the most effective blows. Let the Games Begin, only this year certainly looks more like a cage match blood sport in the works.
Desperation always brings out the very ugliest in Democrats, the more desperate they are the more ugly they become. Remember the fleabaggers in Wisconsin who bolted for Illinois when they were crushed in the election? Yup, it is THAT exact level of despair amid the closed circle types of left-wing politicos we are about to witness.
I like what Michellc said yesterday. Her comment sums up what I too am hearing and seeing just about everywhere:
The economy is a huge part of why people will vote with their wallets but when you go out and talk to people it goes beyond that.
Most normal people, not these nuts that worship Obama and the democratic party and enjoying being thought of as owned, have a natural built-in sense of independence, it’s just part of nature.
These people don’t like to be told you must buy something or else. They don’t like someone telling them they know better how to feed and educate their children. They don’t like being lied to and telling them you’re working hard when they’re watching you on vacation, playing golf and attending fund-raisers.
I laugh at the media when they say everyone loves Michelle and how popular she is. Maybe in their circles but I have not met one single person who likes Michelle.
People I talk to say she buys expensive dresses while the rest of the country is buying off the clearance rack or shopping in thrift stores. They say she’s flying all over the country on vacation with all of her friends contributing to the national debt while they are struggling to pay their ever-increasing electric bill and haven’t taken a vacation in 3 years.
They say they don’t need some unelected woman who is paying for a dietician for her daughters with taxpayer’s money telling them how to feed their children.
I hear people saying they can forgive a President if they think he’s working hard to improve the economy even if they think he’s going about it the wrong way. They can’t forgive a President though who they believe is more worried about his next golf game or next fund-raiser than he is about doing his job as President.
People in the real world see them as the King and Queen living high on the hog demanding their people to send them more money so they can continue their lavish lifestyle even if it means their people have to survive off of bread and water and live in a tent.
If only I had a dollar for every person I’ve talked to in the past 2 years who have told me,”I voted democrat all my life, been a registered democrat since I was 18 years old, these people in Washington led by this President are something I don’t recognize, I changed my registration.
Of course I’ve heard a few and even have a few friends who can’t see what’s slapping them in the face, but for every one of them there are 10 who have left the darkness.
Deep down in the heart of this country people sense we’re losing something great and they don’t want to go as far left as they’re trying to take them. Impressions and actions mean a lot more than words and empty promises.
An example of this is my husband telling me last night about a man asking him if he watched Michelle’s speech and he said “no I refuse to, what that bs, my wife did though and she didn’t seem to impressed”.
The man told him something that really bothered me is she wanted me to believe she’s a Mother first and this great Mother, yet she left her kids in Washington D.C. while she flew off to North Carolina to give a speech.
When Ann Romney gave her speech I saw her kids with their kids there. When Paul Ryan gave his speech I saw his wife sitting with her kids beside her. So I see this woman all the time on the late night shows, the morning shows, going to give this speech and that speech, visiting this school and that school without her kids, the only time I ever see her with her kids is when she’s taking them on an expensive vacation.
I’d just like to know when she finds the time to be a Mother instead it looks to me like she’s the absent Mother who shows up a couple of times a year to lavish expensive gifts and expensive trips on her kids that someone else is raising.
Now he might be a little unfair, but little things like that do make words seem hollow. I really didn’t think about it at the time but I could see how people could have that impression. If he watched again last night he’s probably really not happy because I didn’t see her kids sitting beside her.
