Now and then someone says something that is so clear…so true…it must be highlighted.
Democrats love to control the national conversation. They’ve always been able to do it with the help of their friends in the media. The latest is that the right wing of the Republican Party is passee, old and tired…Ronald Reagan should be tossed on the scrap heap. We’ve been marginalized, isolated, left behind in the dust. (and hopefully gone for good) Weak-kneed Republicans have bought into it. The truth is something entirely different and Cheri Jacobus has nailed it:
“Obama lurches left,” by Cheri Jacobus – The Hill
** After federal spending in the Bush years that unnerved conservatives, the GOP now remains true to its core principles of restrained spending; smaller, more responsible government; and a strong national security. But the ascension of Barack Obama to the White House with Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) clenching the Speaker’s gavel has ushered in an era of unprecedented leftward movement. It’s true the parties are much further apart than a year ago — but not because the GOP lurched right. It’s because the Democrats lurched left and moved the goalposts. The center did not move. **
Read the data that back up this opinion in the article that begins:
** In August of last year I wrote an article, “The Biggest Missing Story in Politics,” which reviewed the single most important datum in the last thirteen Battleground Polls over a period stretching from early 2002 to late 2008. The critical fact, completely ignored by almost everyone, was that in answering Question D3, which asked the respondent what he considered his ideology to be, sixty percent of the American people described themselves as “conservative” or “very conservative.” **
The people of America are basically conservative. After all the razzle dazzle of Obama’s central planning fizzles and the dirt and confetti is swept away…conservative Republicans will step up to restore traditional American policies that support all of our citizens in rebuilding their lives.
