Talk about draining Washington’s miasmic swamp! As dense clouds of dust and smoke dissipate in the early hours of 3 November, it will be readily apparent to all but the most mentally-challenged liberals that a quintessential struggle for our freedom took place in tiny Delaware. A perhaps unlikely heroine will then take center stage for her final curtain call in a topsy-turvy Senate campaign that tipped the Congressional balance of power in favor of American liberty. Senator-elect Christine O’Donnell… Has a nice ring to it, does it not?
I’m not surprised that Christine defeated an aging liberal Republican rhinoceros in the primary- nor will I be surprised when she defeats Harry Reid’s pet Democrat Chris Coons. What surprised me, however, was the astounding voter turnout of Delaware’s Taxed-Enough-Already patriots- a violent seismic event that no doubt rattled cups and saucers clear to California- where even Barbara Boxer gasped for breath as she pondered anew her political future.
And Karl Rove? He now finds himself perched on the same credibility scrapheap as the once respectable Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly and the like. It seems an unwritten law of the universe that when a nation’s sewer backs up, all the double-speaking mainstream media pundits finally show their true colors. And yes, including these particular pundits in the mainstream was intentional…
By the way, I heard Dick Morris’s stock went up 40% this week- right along with Sarah Palin’s…
I don’t know a whole lot about Christine O’Donnell, but I certainly admire her amazing resilience and determination against all odds. Despite an avalanche of financial hardship and previous political defeats, she has persevered through it all- and pulled off a stunning upset over the Republican establishment. The Taxed-Enough-Already voters of Delaware seem to agree- and have turned out in record numbers to prove it.
So Christine had trouble paying her federal taxes. So she had trouble holding tight to her home. So it took her a while to graduate from college. So she had every right to simply fold her tent and give up her dream of being a US Senator. So what? Sounds like she’s part and parcel of our marvelous national angst and anger aroused by Obamanomics. And Barack’s hope and change? Sounds more like devastating despair and demolition to me…
To be fair to Captain Zero, we’ve been zooming down this destructive tax-and-spend torrent for quite some time- but the ever-increasing spillage over the dam of fiscal responsibility has suddenly become a flash flood of disastrous debt. And when torrential interest payments on that debt rise so high as to become our largest single federal expenditure, even far surpassing the enormous sum of all our discretionary spending, the time has come to face default. And the liberals dare criticize Christine O’Donnell for her brush with bankruptcy?
Let’s make no mistake, folks. Christine O’Donnell can win if the Taxed-Enough-Already across America will stand with her- and not mourn the loss of an old GOP rhino who for all practical purposes would pull an “Arlen Specter” as soon as he won a seat in the Senate.
Funny thing about placing putrid pragmatic politics before the purity of conservative principles… It always comes back to bite ya in the butt.
And guess what? Check out all the cash suddenly pouring into Christine’s campaign coffers! Ya think all that dough is comin’ from Delaware? Nope…
Sure, yesterday’s Rasmussen poll had O’Donnell trailing Coons 42% to 53%. And yes, by a nearly identical margin, 54% of voters in Delaware approve of the job President Obama is doing, while 43% disapprove. Two critical questions remain, however. How many of those brain-dead hope-and-changers will actually get out and vote on 2 November? And how many irate Taxed-Enough-Already patriots will FAIL to vote? Most likely a paucity of both!
If the historic Taxed-Enough-Already turnout in Delaware last Tuesday is any indication, current conservative voter groundswell across America will dwarf that of the lackadaisical left- just as all our mammoth but peaceful Tea Parties have made all raucous liberal gatherings to the contrary appear insignificant. However, this is no time to rest on our anticipated conservative laurels.
Finally, let me write a few words about Sarah Palin. I’ve been slow to climb into Sarah’s political corner- but after her recent performance in Delaware, I stand amazed. Palin Power represents much more than I had ever supposed. Her stature grows by leaps and bounds with each passing day. A viable Presidential candidate in 2012? Well, I for one am more likely to put my money on a tireless Soldier who continually puts her political life on the line for liberty- when so many others just grumble and sit on their fat posteriors.
And all those liberal loons from Delaware to California? They’ll soon be blown to smithereens by their own odiferous petards!
