Elections

How I wish the Congressional Elections were tomorrow! I’m positive the Republicans would take back the Senate and the House or at the very least be able to stop Obama’s Socialist agenda!! I think the American people….certainly the Republicans and Independents which make up the majority…..have had enough. Those R’s & I’s that voted for Obama are mad and embarrassed. They wouldn’t let it happen again. BUT……10 months is a long time. That is enough time for Obama to mis-direct the citizens again and save his majority. Look for illegal immigration to be the next big issue…. something all American’s want solved. That way they will forget about all the lies and policies he has forced on the citizens. If he easily fooled them once, he can fool them again. Just like Clinton. In 1994 the Republicans KNEW what the American people wanted, made a “Contract for America”, won the elections and took over the House and Senate. One problem….once the Republicans got the power they forgot WHY they got it. They abandoned their Conservative principals and let the Democrats set the tone and agenda (they just wanted to get along with their Liberal Colleagues) The Democrats were able to demonize Bush without any defense or challenges from the Republicans and…well… look where we are today. I met with a potential candidate for my Congressman Bruce Braley’s (D) seat in Congress. Two of his e-mail quotes: “Hello Tom. It was a pleasure to meet you on Wednesday in Manchester. I don’t think I’ll ever forget your comment about wanting politicians that have a “pair” and a backbone.” And a few weeks later “ I gave a speech Sunday night in Dubuque to the Tea Party. I told them a gentleman in Manchester said that we “need a Congressman who has a set”. That statement got a round of applause from everyone!” If you have a good Conservative Candidate, with a “SET” and backbone, support him/her (her would have a problem with a “Set”), encourage them, work in their campaign.....get them elected. We can stop this radical agenda but we can’t do it by being silent!!!!
