So, the election is over, and obviously the results were not what I had wanted, but were pretty much exactly what I expected.
Obama "The Annointed One" took the election, though not as handily as the members of the media and the Democratic Socialists of America would want the rest of the country to believe. Sadly, too many Republicans have been apologizing for the loss.
I'd like to offer my suggestion of how to win the next time: Get Back to the Base! We, the Conservative Party of America, need to write a new Manifesto of the American Conservative. We need to begin to teach our children about self-reliance, self-responsibility, and self-respect that comes from achievement, and the joy of "earning" rather than "getting".
We need to reaffirm what marriage is. We need to find a way to do away with the system of progressive taxation and come to a fair, flat tax that ALL people who enjoy the fruits of this country will need to pay.
If we, the right, can stop with the progression toward the left we can and we will win elections. It's happened in the not so distant past. Over 74% of the population define themselves as "not liberal", and we need to capitalize on that. Too many republicans stayed home and did not vote on November 4th. Why? Because John McCain has never been a true conservative. McCain was picked by primary voters who crossed the party line in order to provide the GOP with an unviable candidate.
So now we have two years of massive rebuilding that we need to undertake. We can take back the Congress and the Senate, and in 2012 we can dismantle what is left of the Clinton-Obama team.
