Nov. 8, 2012 - A Fraud of an Election

The dust has finally settled on Election 2012. I'm sure glad we elected the challenger Obama. The guy we've had for the last four years was really, truly awful.

I thought Obama went very small and very negative. Over 77% of his ads were negative. By contrast, 32% of Romney's were negative. Obama and his surrogates called Romney a murderer, a felon, and a tax cheat. All baseless and wrong, yet there were no apologies and no retractions.

They linked Romney to controversial rape comments by Republican Senate candidates from MO and IN, yet VP Biden comments about slavery and chains went unchallenged.

Obama has said or implied that his opponents were stupid, racist, greedy, selfish, misogynistic, and evil. He sees voting as revenge.

The Obama campaign laid out a strategy to demonize success and wealth. Do we really want a President that has been bankrupt or a failure?

Obama may be the President, but he was anything but Presidential in the campaign. The flags at Independence Hall should be lowered to half mast.

In the end, the GOP house was RE-ELECTED. There is NO mandate for Obama, so what will change? MORE unemployment, MORE entitlements, MORE debt.

I thought Romney would win based on the economic conditions. But then again, I thought Jack would live at the end of "Titanic," I thought bell bottoms would withstand the test of time. And I thought Xanadu was a great movie and would have many sequels.

It's hard to imagine how the exit polls showed that 52% thought the country is headed in the wrong direction, yet decided to continue with the same leader that has taken you in that direction.




We are now a house divided. 1/2 free; 1/2 slave and dependent on government. As Lincoln said, "a house divided cannot stand." I would hope Obama will move and govern more to the center, but nothing in his past illustrates that he will. If Obama doesn't, the GOP still controls the House and we will remain in gridlock at least for the next 2 years.

In the end, I hope for the continued good health of Justices Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, Alito, and (yes) Kennedy.

We should always remember what Thomas Jefferson said: "The democracy will CEASE to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would NOT."
