re: "now ya can't go over to FFFT and gloat."
Aw, I wouldn't do that. I would, however, take the time to note that Wisconsin's election is a referendum on a failed Obummer administration. And that it demonstrates why the pollsters are wrong: The November election is NOT going to be close. It will brutalize the liberal machine.
But, I might as well set the record straight on some other things. I can't really gloat about the victory of Scott Walker because I'm something of a Taft conservative and a huge Ron Paul fan. I am NOT a supporter of the Republican party in general. I sometimes point out that the Republican party is tag-teamed with the Democratic party on continuing the economic policies that are destroying our lives. They're as motivated to GROW government as the Democrats are. As far as I'm concerned, we had enough government in 1910. We sure don't need a government that consumes more than half of everything its citizens earn.
We saw GWB acquiesce before he left office to Obummer's request for TARP. We saw Obummer embrace Goldman Sachs, as GWB had done, as soon as he entered office. This election (unless something has recently changed), the #1 donor to *BOTH* Obummer and Romney is . . . Goldman Sachs.
The evidence is pretty clear. Both parties are owned by the same set of thugs.
I do not harbor illusions that the Republicans are any different this time around. They *say* they want smaller government, but they don't really mean it. They complain about too much spending, but then they do it too. My party loyalty doesn't run nearly as deep as my sense of patriotism, so I'll call the Republicans out on this hypocrisy of theirs.
In a real sense, we only have ONE party in the United States: It is the Progressive party. The party of bigger government. So long as Americans *THINK* they have two parties and that they can vote out the current set of losers and get some relief, the Progressives march on, essentially unopposed. Does it matter to the Progressives if Republicans get wiped out across the board, as they did in 2008? Not a bit. We all knew they'd come back in 2012... or 2016... or 2020. And does it matter to the Progressives if the Democrats get wiped out in 2012? Again, no.
The Progressives never get wiped out. They go on and on, eating away at our liberties, our wallets, our traditions, our capitalist society, and replacing these things with totalitarian controls and governance that values Americans, their Constitution and their individualism not at all.
I think the move to totalitarian government is inevitable, unless Ron Paul's fight spreads. My fingers are crossed on that, though I think the situation is probably hopeless. Americans just aren't bright enough anymore to understand what's happening. That, or they don't have the core values that once defined our people.
Maybe both.
