Those on the left claim that politically knowledgeable American citizens aren't up in arms over the policies proposed by President Barack Obama, rather they're outraged over the partisan games perennially played by those in Congress, and therefore all incumbents better be on the lookout for scrappy newcomers.
But if a newcomer to the political arena announces his or her candidacy by shrieking, "I'm gonna vote with Obama - I'm gonna vote with Obama," they're likely going to lose, and they're likely going to lose by a wide margin.
The only good thing to come out of this whole Obama presidency fiasco is a country filled with more politically savvy citizens. And, because America is a center-right country, these individuals are discovering that they despise the policies of those on the far-left; not the policies of incumbents simply because they're being proposed by incumbents.
Why would a rational human being vote against an incumbent who they think is doing a bang-up job simply because the politician held the same position in years past. It'd be like the Saints coach telling Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees, "You did a great job last year in winning that Super Bowl, but there's a real anti-first-string-quarterback-from-last-year feel in the NFL community and we're therefore going to replace you with the guy we found cleaning johns at the Metairie Home Depot."
Let's face it, if people rejected the mindset of the far-left liberal in New Jersey (the election of Governor Chris Christie) and Massachusetts (the election of Senator Scott Brown) it means liberalism is on the decline everywhere.
Now the only question is: can conservatives take advantage of this golden opportunity?
Conservatism could hasten its ascendancy if Senator John McCain and the rest of his moderate RINO friends immediately stepped aside.
Mr. McCain, you got hammered by a man with no experience, who, every Sunday, listened to a preacher rail against the United States, yet he doesn't remember the Reverend Jeremiah Wright uttering a single anti-American word, meaning our Commander in Chief either has an attention span akin to Mallory Keaton or doesn't mind telling the occasional fib.
Mr. McCain, sir, it's time for you and your daughter to admit the "going moderate" route failed miserably.
Or, why don't you and Meghan start a grass roots movement for moderates and see how many followers you obtain. Something tells me your membership would only trail the Tea Party by several septillion folks.
It'd be great; you could hold rallies where you'd scream into the microphone, no need to turn it on - it'd just be for show, "We're tired of the 'business as usual' mindset in Washington and demand all Congresspersons call themselves members of one party while voting for policies championed by the other!"
