About two weeks of electioneering to go before those who
have not taken advantage of early voting present themselves at the nearest polling
booth to vote for the man they want as President of these United States for the
next 4 years.
The two men vying for this top elected position are worlds
apart in their economic philosophy, the domestic policy, their foreign policy
and in many other ways that will impact the voters’ decision, rightly or
wrongly. Some people feel Romney looks more “presidential” than Obama,
notwithstanding that Obama has been in that role for nearly 4 years (note that
I said been in…not performing!). Some people like Obama’s folksy style,
preferring his chameleon qualities to the more sophisticated style of Romney.
Some people feel disquieted by Romney’s insistence on keeping his good works as
quiet as possible…while others prefer to hear all about the good things Obama
has…ooooh...never mind…
One would be forgiven for thinking that the presidential
election was the only election happening on November 6th…the truth
is that there are many other elections taking place that same day.
House of Representatives and Senate elections will have a
big bearing on what happens AFTER the dust from the elections has settled. State legislative elections are also very important…a
fact that Romney has identified and been efficient at including in his
presidential campaigns references to and introductions from the local
candidates who support the Romney campaign.
You see, Romney understands that by supporting the local candidates
in their quests, he is building a base of allies who will continue to support
his Presidency. By having a majority in the House and Senate, he will have an
easier time of moving his policies through Congress, getting bi-partisan
support when necessary. This is the way an elected official works…this is the
way politics works…this is the way government works.
The Obama campaign, on the other hand, has done very little,
if anything, to support the local candidates for House or Senate seats, let
alone state legislatures. There could be a number of reasons for this:-
-
It is possible that the Obama campaign does not believe
that support of local candidates for House and Senate seats will assist in his
own re-election (ie. He does not believe that that there are any votes to be
had by supporting these candidates. This is a very short sighted view of the
world. In my experience there are some folk who simply do not think about
federal politics but have a deep concern for state and local politics. These
people are there for the taking if a candidate can help them see the connection
between state and federal governments and how the two can work together. Simply
supporting a local candidate can convert into votes with a little effort. Obama
clearly does not think he needs every vote he can get.
-
It is possible that Obama does not believe that
the House will remain under Republican control, or that the Senate is in danger
of falling under Republican control. If this is how he thinks, and because of
his narcissistic nature such a view is highly likely, it follows that he would
not spend effort trying to assist an outcome that he already believes will be
the case.
-
A third alternative is that he simply does not
care. He does not care whether there is Democrat control of the House or
Senate. He does not care whether democrats win elections for the state
legislature or for local elected positions. These things simply do not matter
to him, so he is not going to waste precious time and resources supporting
those candidates.
Of these three possibilities I see only one logical one, the
last in that short list.
I believe that he simply does not care….and here is my
reasoning.
For the last two years Obama has complained about the
intransigent conservatives, the do nothing Republicans. This has served as a
nice foil to explain Obama’s failures…and to provide a target for the
thoughtless voters. Blame Bush…blame the intransigent do nothing conservatives…blame
the tea party extremists. It is them who stopped the progress of my policies
since they wouldn’t pass any of them…and on it goes.
Now we look forward to beyond 2012…if Obama wins a second
term he does not care who controls Congress because he has already stated that
if Congress won’t act, he will.
I believe he fully intends to use the next four years to
slowly neuter Congress, slowly disembowel the Supreme Courts and slowly shred
the Constitution. If this is his plan, then he will more easily succeed by
ensuring that Congress is in fact controlled by the Republicans. If Congress
blocks his moves, he will simply blame conservative extremists holding the country
hostage, and do what he wants to do by executive order. With a democrat
congress, this will be much more difficult to achieve, as he will not be able
to blame the conservative movement.
It is very much in his interests to have both Houses
controlled by the Republicans.
Should Obama win this election, he will have just 4 short
years to achieve the upheaval required to ensure he becomes the dictatorial
head of this country. Just four years. He cannot afford to play nice with
Congress…and with a democratic Congress, he will have no choice.
Nope…he wants a Republican congress.
And this is why he does not campaign for and with democrats
seeking office. It is not because he doesn’t have time or doesn’t want to spend
the money. It is much more diabolical than that.
It is because he does not want them to win!
In order to betray this Country, he must first betray his
party and the loyal voters who elected him. He doesn’t think twice about that…if
you want some indication of what this man is capable of, simply read “The
Amateur” by Edward Klein.
There is no big conspiracy here. There is no puppeteer pulling
the strings. There is just Obama and his cadre of Chicago thugs ensuring that
should they win, they will have power for a long, long time.
Do not look to liberals to understand this end game. The
same blinders that allow them to vote for this man also prevent them from seeing
the plan he has for America. Their foolish worship at the feet of this man is
akin to the wild fervor of the German people when they looked the countenance
of Adolph Hitler.
As Bob McLean wrote; “No angel born in hell, could break
that Satan’s spell”
While McLean was referring to the Hell’s Angel murder of a
fan at a Rolling Stones concert…he could easily have been writing of the
liberal/progressives adoration of Obama, and the hold he has over them.
So, in the next two weeks I do not expect to see Obama
campaigning for any democrat candidates in any race. If the Democrats retain
control of the Senate and win back the House, Obama’s plans for the future will
be wiped out!
Something to think about.
Of course, I do not recommend voting for any democrats at
any level. By far the best thing to do is to ensure that Obama does not get a 2nd
term!
