Observations Of a BigMan

“There’s got to be a morning after” –Maureen McGovern

"I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never
live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine." –John Galt

Some observations about the election just past:

You don’t win an election or motivate people to vote, if their motivation is voting against something.. Americans like to be for something not against something…

Most of the voters that voted for John McCain did not vote for him, they voted against Barack Obama.

“Conventional wisdom” from the McCain Campaign and the Main Stream Media (MSM) is that Sarah Palin hurt the campaign and caused John McCain to lose.. “Conventional wisdom” is Neither. The ONLY reason I voted for John McCain, and not Bob Barr (L) is because of Sarah Palin. I believe that approximately one quarter to one half of the voters voted for McCain for
the same reason.. Some polls say she brought his tally up by 13%, like I said I think it was really two to three time that number.

Barack Obama does not have a “Mandate”, for the same reason George W Bush did not have a Mandate in 2004.. How can I say that? Am I just a Racist? No, the MSM stated in 2004 that George W Bush didn’t have a Mandate when he won with 62,040,610 popular votes.. Barack Obama had 64,043,290, I do not see how the addition of 2,002,680 votes creates a “Mandate”.

Karl Rove, “The Architect” (GWB Campaign Mgr), has stated that the election shows that the Republican Party needs to move to the Left… NO IT DOESN’T !!! The problem was that it already moved to far to the Left. John McCain is a very Liberal Republican, he was considered for and he considered being John Kerry’s VP. He sponsored the Amnesty bill of 2007 along
with Ted Kennedy, the one that a majority of Americans were against. He also believes in Cap and Trade as a solution for Global Warming. First Global Warming is a hoax, the Science isn’t settled, and true Science is NEVER settled. Cap and Trade is an International Spread the Wealth program. It will spread the wealth from industrialized wealthy nations to non-industrialized third world nations. It has nothing to do with Global Warming, if Global Warming were real, Cap and Trade would not change the levels of CO2, Countries and Companies would just pay for the extra cost of doing business by passing the cost to us, the consumers.

I can only hope things are not destroyed too bad and we can make it until 2010 wherein we can vote in a Republican congress to hold Obama in check…
