It’s time the Republican candidates stop trying to make themselves look non-controversial and start drawing a sharp contrast between candidates that want a government that controls the people vs. candidates that want a government that is controlled by the people.  This video should be played as a campaign ad throughout the country.

This is over 9 minutes but worth watching the whole thing.  Interesting how it applies to today!

The Republicans are letting us down by not standing up for the obvious.  There is nothing wrong with our health care system other than cost.  It is the best in the world.  The solution shouldn’t be to dismantle our current system, the solution should be to figure out why it is so expensive and address the root causes. 

By addressing three areas alone, doctor bills would be cut in half. 

1) Limit lawsuits.  That would save tens of billions in wasteful testing and malpractice insurance.

2) Force seperate accounting for illegal immigrants.  If the feds want them covered, it should be paid for as a transparant budget item. 

3) Reduce mandatory coverage items that most people don’t want from insurance policies.

Hispanics want their first Supreme Court judge to be someone they can be proud of.  With the majority of hispanics opposed to the positions Sotomayer holds, we need a PAC that will run spanish language ads in hispanic communities.  The ads should show her extreme view points and ask people to write their Senators demanding a Hispanic nominee that represents the values of the Hispanic community.

The liberals have taken the high ground by using “perception” words to make them soubd like the good guys.   We need to counter that by making them look foolish whenever they do. That’s easily done by asking questions that put the word back in context. For instance whenever a liberal calls themselves progressive, ask them

What is “progressive” about regressing back into Totalitarianism?

Or if they call someone a homophobe, reply by stating that phobia implies fear and we are not afraid of discussing our position, are they?

When they blame Bush for starting the bailout spending, remind them that Obama has been in office for 5 months. If he were a leader he would have corrected the direction.

In other “words”, we need to use their own words to show a clear and distinct difference between us and them.

A couple of years ago I was told that 90% of the billionaires in the country, and 75% of the fortune 500 CEO’s are either democrats or openly support the democrat candidates. I attempted to verify this by getting the names from Forbes. Getting the names was easy, but the party affiliation was much more difficult so I was not able to get as far as I would have liked. From my limited research, I did find that those statements appear to be true. Perhaps the Republican party should finish that research with their greater resources. If it proves to be true, as I believe it will, they can use this to counter the democrats. Whenever a democrat claims the republicans are the party of the rich, or that the democrats are the party of the poor / average folk, the republicans should run ads exposing the actual statistics.

The democrats can and are passing a lot of bills that are taking the country down the wrong path.  That’s fine because if the Republicans can get their act together, they can undo much of it in two years.  The most important stand the Republicans MUST take is to protect the Supreme Court.  With Souter’s retirement it is time for Republicans to put up or shut up.  It takes a minimum of 1 Republican vote on the judicial committee to move a nominee forward.  This is when we see if the Republicans have what it takes to stand firm against any radicals that are not interested in enforcing the Constitution.  If we loose the Supreme Court, the country will never recover.  If the Republicans can’t force at least a moderate judge then the republican party is finished too.

I remember seeing a woman (Obama supporter) on the news right after the election.  She was bubbling over that she would never have to worry about gas prices again!..

Has anyone noticed that in the short time Obama has been in office, gas has risen 35 cents a gallon, while at the same time oil has dropped to the loswest point in years?  There are no pipeline outagages, no refineries down, no weather issues…

I wonder what kind of back room deals Obama made there!
