Mccain and Bob Dole- History Repeating

by Real Deal on Jan.30, 2008, under Elections, Politics, Presidency

OK this is really uncanny and hard to believe, but the GOP is about to make the same mistake all over again. The similarities here are unreal. Just a little bit of history repeating.

It should be noted that Dole did attempt to run for the GOP nomination in 1980 but withdrew after garnering less than 600 votes in New Hampshire, realizing he had no chance against the Reagan Revolution.

Conservatism wins presidencies, not liberalism

by Real Deal on Jan.30, 2008, under Politics, Presidency

 

Fellow conservatives, republicans, libertarians, and other non-liberals: why do we continue to play this game?

(Liberals: accept my condolences, for everything)


Liberal/moderate Republican candidates for president fail every time they are tried. Why? Because the liberal/moderate Democrat is always more believable and appealing, and owns the voter base for liberalism, socialism and moderatism (new word.) You can not beat Democrats at their own game, not in a presidential election.

You don’t believe me? A little history lesson might jog your memory. Let’s take a look at recent moderate Republican presidential candidates.

Bob Dole lost to Bill Clinton, liberal/moderate and bad president

George HW Bush* (2nd term) lost to Bill Clinton, liberal/moderate and bad president

Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy Carter, worst ever president of the US

Barry Goldwater** lost to Lyndon B Johnson, an utterly useless president

Now let’s look at the success stories. What republicans actually won?

George W Bush*** (ran as conservative both times) beat two of the worst presidential candidates ever, Kerry and Gore

George HW Bush* (1st term, Reagan incumbent=conservative) beat terrible candidate Dukakis

Ronald Reagan (THE conservative, best president of 20th century) beat incumbent liberal Carter, and horrible candidate Mondale

Richard Nixon**** (conservative) beat McGovern and Humphrey, lost to JFK

Dwight Eisenhower (conservative) beat Adlai Stevenson twice

Do you see any patterns here? I do. I see that CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS WIN, and LIBERAL/MODERATE REPUBLICANS LOSE.

Sorry, that’s just how it works. I see one more pattern: Senators lose, governors win. There is good reason for this as well.

Anyone who sponsors anti-American bills with people such as Feingold or Kennedy, is not a conservative, make no mistake about it. Mccain can drop all the names he wants, he’s no conservative. Conservatives don’t vote against tax cuts and free speech.

So, if you would like to see the liberal/moderate/maverick candidate Senator Mccain on the republican ticket, you might as well accustom yourself to the idea of President Hillary Clinton or President Obama, because history has shown that the Democrats own this territory.

Alternately, you can wake up out of your media-brainwashed slumber, and support the only conservative left in the race, Gov. Romney*****, the last hope of keeping Hillary and Bill from a 3rd term in making a mockery and embarrassment out of the White House, or from the embarrassment of a terribly unqualified communist, Obama.

This will happen no matter what your beliefs are. This is how the two-party system works. So if you are anything but a liberal, you’re just fooling yourself by thinking a moderate or liberal republican senator can win the presidency. Count on Hillary or Obama being president at this time next year.

Please pass this on to anyone that you think still cares about America.

Me? I’m starting my expatriation process today. I have no interest in a more socialized America.

Footnotes

* George HW Bush never was a conservative, was defrauded as a moderate after raising taxes and other compromises with Democrats in his 1st term. However, as Vice President of the Reagan administration, was assumed to be a Reagan conservative his 1st term, which is why he won.

** Goldwater, often confused for a conservative, was actually a libertarian/moderate who did not agree with the religious right. To his credit he did help launch the modern conservative movement, but Reagan was obviously a much better candidate, and true conservative.

*** George W Bush ran as a conservative in both elections, but the truth has been revealed that he is just another big government republican with conservative leanings in certain areas. It should be noted that he narrowly won both presidential elections against terrible liberal candidates that Reagan would have destroyed in landslides.

**** Nixon did lose after nominated in 1968 in a weird and fraudulent election. There was heavy voter fraud in Texas and Illinois, two key states in the election. In addition JFK had conservative leanings, probably a factor in his assassination.

***** Despite obtaining the coveted Doug Cooke endorsement in Jan.08, Romney failed to win the moderate state of Florida.

Unmarked footnote: it is my sincere belief that Mccain is a closet liberal.

Presidential speech

by Real Deal on Jan.30, 2008, under Politics, Presidency, War


This supposedly came from a retired soldier……

 

WOULDN’T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT (yeah, right) OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?

 

My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed.

 

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

 

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq . This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world’s nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell-holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations: Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe China.

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don’t care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid ticket s. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep, border security. So start doing something with your oil.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty – starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we’ll be drilling for oil in Alaska – which will take care of this country’s oil needs for decades to come. If you’re an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there. They care.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, “darn tootin.”

 

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is t ime to eliminate homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate World Cup Soccer from America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you and we won’t forget. To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic. God bless America. Thank you and good night.

 

If you can read this, thank a teacher.

 

If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.

(Please forward this to at least ten friends and see what happens! Let’s get this to every computer in America!)
