Well, given the Obamessiah’s election it is a very big one now. The problem is that so many of these really stupid people have made it to positions as college and university professors because the educational profession from top to bottom is a socialist preserve. They indoctrinate and not educate while we pay for it. And most of us are afraid to object.

And the papers and the television stations are absolutely papered with these idiots who really believe that the opinions of the left are facts and that any objection to them simply beyond the pale. However much they have read, they understand little or nothing and economics especially.

So what can be done about it?

When you look at it on balance, you get far more sensical things out of the House (especially if you’re a partisan on either side) than you ever do out of the Senate.

And the idea that the 17th Amendment somehow “ruined” the Senate is a quaint little notion that keeps some conservatives warm at night, but is a lot of hooey – the Senate has always been an institution overrun with a bunch of self-important ninny blowhards, and I dare think the situation would be even worse if places like legislatures of CA, WA, IL, NY, MA and VT were appointing Senators rather than the people voting them in. (Yes, there are people worse than Barbara Boxer – think Anna Eshoo, Hilda Solis or [gulp] Lynn Woolsey…)

Anyway, the good thing about ‘mob rule’? – It can turn on a dime.

Maybe he can come up with some nice tee shirts or those foam things that keep beer cans cold…

The GOP needs to run nothing but small and medium businessmen for congress in 2010. Anyone who was in the investor class who voted for Obama is over him now and would get that businessmen aren’t going to trash the economy the way O’s socialism is.

I actually, in a backhanded way, think it’s great that so many young and college-aged people voted for Obama – those poor suckers are in for a *rude* awakening when they get out of college, and they have no job prospects, and many of their parents and older brothers & sisters are foreclosed out of their homes.

With things going the way they are, we may be looking at a large chunk of a generation that will never ‘pull the lever’ for a “D” again.

Along with the fact that so many voters are too young to remember Jimmy Carter.

IMO Bill Clinton did so much to damage this nation precisely because he was NOT a typical tax and spend liberal. He went along with conservatives on a number of fiscal issues and there fore left people with the erroneous Idea that Democrats know squat about the economy, or give a damn about their economic problems.

For me, this is THE reason we need to get some forward motion on a flat tax.

Lacking that, we should start talking about an amendment that bars people from voting in federal elections if they pay less than 10% of thier income in federal taxes or make more than 20% of thier income from federal government spending.

And God knows we wouldn’t want all those other countries to think we weren’t COOL.
