Electoral majority for an exceptional America coming apart
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 9th at 02:30 PM |
How to appeal to an electorate ignorant of how the America of the founding created historic wealth for over 200 years, never consciously saw themselves connected to the risk-taking entrepreneurs, never were so connected, or have given up on a return to striving for their old American dreams after the massive job losses of the past five years? Given narrow electoral margins in a few | Read More »
Irrationally strong Democrat vote is not GOP’s fault
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 7th at 12:17 AM |
The menace of 40+ years of liberal education indoctrination, entitlement mentality, decline of faith-based values, and increased dependency has produced a populace that rewards epic economic failure in favor of Democratic Party-loyalty as religion. Republicans are not to blame for not tricking enough Democrats into voting for them in selected states. The decision to re-hire or fire President Barack Obama should not have been close. | Read More »
Christie last subject of King Obama and the 2012 tea party deluge redux
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 5th at 11:44 AM |
Hurricane Sandy washed out the New York City Marathon after Mayor Bloomberg realized it could turn into a contact sport. Some think it also ended “Mitt-mentum”, a media-created phenomenon meant to paper over any suggestion that election results ever reflect the rejection of failed liberal economic policies by the populace. But Cockstradamus saw Hurricane Republican coming many moons ago, before any supposed game-changing October 3rd, | Read More »
Romney, peace thru strength and the death of neo-occupationalism
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | November 1st at 04:07 PM |
Republican nominee would restore a foreign policy informed by a commitment to American exceptionalism, albeit one that would not entail interventions abroad absent vital American interests nor any long-term occupations of foreign lands. It wasn’t necessary for Mitt Romney to play Dostoevsky’s Grand Inquisitor to Barack Obama as Shakespeare’s King Lear in the last presidential election debate, especially with Bob Scheiffer as an older Candy Crowley on | Read More »
Applying Bush/Katrina rules to Obama/Sandy
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 31st at 01:56 PM |
Rule #1: If Shepard Smith and Anderson Cooper can get a microphone and cameraman in front of a Hurricane victim, then FEMA should have already had them back in a dry home with electricity and cable TV. As of Noon on Day Three after Hurricane Sandy’s landfall, the death toll stands at 55 and over four million residents remain without electric power. All this, despite | Read More »
Need no more Libyan “answers”, 2nd-term plan: Ties that bind(h)er to ObamaDems
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 31st at 09:22 AM |
We have the answers. The answers are disturbing. Further questioning of Obama isn’t necessary. Let’s just fire him and Hillary a week from today. Its time for timid Republicans who have to rub shoulders with Democrats inside the Beltway or in polite conversation to accept the obvious and muster the courage to state it publicly: President Barack Obama and his Democrat Party policies don’t work, | Read More »
Wait just a Harriet Tubman minute
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 30th at 02:15 PM |
Now that their Galluping polling gods increasingly show Florida, North Carolina and Virginia out of President Barack Obama’s electoral reach, Democrats are now free to add sectional bigotry to their class envy-based re-election strategy. Led by ABClinton’s George Stephanopoulos and the previously non-cartography enthusiast Andrew Sullivan, the Democrat Party is increasingly focused on winning the Buckeye State, which was the hub of the antebellum Underground Railroad for runaway slaves: I | Read More »
Even JR Ewing can’t save an Obama that lost debates, election months ago
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 17th at 12:06 PM |
Was it before tea partier Scott Brown won Ted Kennedy’s senate seat or after Month 30 of 8%+ unemployment? Last night was a mere death rattle of the re-election campaign of President Barack Hussein Obama. Mitt Romney’s “greatness” in the debates is the natural result of the hanging curve balls that are the Obama record, a record that can’t be changed by facial expressions and | Read More »
Obama, MLK, Katrina, Frank Robinson and the End of White Guilt
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 16th at 01:20 PM |
First Black President to be fired threw MLK under the bus before his inauguration Since our Summer of 2001 conversion to the GOP, after nearly 20 years a Democratic Party activist and official, we laid claim to Martin Luther King’s character content dream as belonging to our fellow conservatives. What else could one conclude when, more than 35 years after passage of civil and voting | Read More »
Any Democrats save bureaucrats, bankers and illegals better off under Obama?
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 12th at 03:32 PM |
…and even they have to buy gasoline at the President’s preferred pumped up prices The Liberal Case against the re-election of President Barack Obama Reality started mugging this future former liberal Democrat early in my adult political life. It occurred after months of exhilarating 1980 campaign work with Young Democrats for Carter when the President’s Republican opponent asked a simple question in his closing statement of | Read More »
Vice Presidents don’t matter even if they aren’t Jack Kennedy
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 11th at 04:50 PM |
Joe Biden is no Jack Kennedy or Neil Kinnock, but he is from a slave state that Obama should carry Nothing to see here unless Vice President Biden turns plugs into real hair, water into wine and food stamps into well-paying jobs; and Obama promises to resign the presidency after failing to stop the oceans from rising. Does anyone think that Gore secured victory for | Read More »
Obama’s post-debate executive order path to re-election
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 9th at 01:20 PM |
Obamacare Lobbyist-in-Chief urges Obama to better feel voters’ pain while other Democrats demand get tough strategy The world changed for non-Democrats before the 2010 GOP election landslide, but since Pew, Gallup and Rasmussen only yesterday counted the right beans, Democrats and inside the beltway Republicans only just now joined the rest of us: President Barack Obama is getting conflicting advice on how to rebound from his | Read More »
But in Georgia…voters should weigh Barrow against his Democratic Party
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 8th at 09:09 AM |
In a recent issue of Atlanta Times News, Mike DeVine admonished DeKalb County voters to send only Republicans to represent them in Washington, D.C. given the desperate need to repeal Obamacare and pass economic growth-friendly legislation so that a real recovery can commence across the Fruited Plain, including in the Peach State. But given the circumstance in portions of Georgia south of DeKalb, this Sandlapper thinks an | Read More »
Romneycare as states rights debating point
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | October 4th at 09:17 AM |
Remember those conservatives during the Republican presidential primaries that thought Romneycare would prevent Mitt from being able to take on Obamacare? I do. I was one of them. We were wrong. Rarely have we had a true back and forth debate between presidential candidates of opposing parties like we did last night. Thanks to Mitt Romney’s initiative and Jim Lehrer’s wisdom to let it flow, and to Hades | Read More »
The 47%-ers for Mitt
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | September 18th at 11:57 AM |
Limousine liberals and government workers for Obama are not among The 47% Who knew that private political fundraisers produce bitter clinger identifications across the political spectrum? Famously during the 2008 presidential campaign, thanks solely to conservative media, Barack Obama was revealed to have identified Democratic primary voters for Hillary in Pennsylvania as racist, religious gun nuts. Last May, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, in a | Read More »
Obama promises FDR-like experimentation during second Great Depression
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | September 7th at 10:14 AM |
I guess the private sector was doing fine then too, since the poor got to hear periodic fireside chats on the latest anti-business experiment Last night during his indoor speech accepting the presidential nomination of the Democratic Party in Charlotte, we finally got the non-Hope & Change truth from Barack Obama: And the truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve | Read More »
The Big Lie from Democrats’ Big Creep
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | September 6th at 04:11 PM |
America has never been a “you’re on your own, winner take all” society By most accounts, former President Bill Clinton delivered a rousing speech last night in Charlotte nominating President Barack Obama for re-election at the Democratic National Convention. Clinton summed up the choice Americans will face on Election Day, thusly: “The most important question is, what kind of country do you want to live in? | Read More »
Democrats, primarily, caused the recession and prevent a real recovery
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | September 4th at 03:21 PM |
But didn’t Democrat Obama inherit “the mess” from Republican Bush and haven’t congressional Republicans obstructed Obama’s recovery agenda? This is how a Democratic Party, with no Gene McCarthy (pictured), feels compelled to frame re-election issues given a failed incumbent with no record of popular achievements to run on. At least LBJ declined to run and Ted Kennedy challenged Carter in 1980, but I digress. It | Read More »
Akin breakin’ hearts of media pilers on
By: Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) | August 31st at 09:55 PM |
Remember way back in the old days of last weekend, when an immediately-apologized-for-gaffe by a conservative Republican pro-life, even in the case of rape, candidate for the U.S. Senate was selfishly putting himself before “the cause” by refusing to drop out of his race to deny Obamcare Democrat Claire McCaskill re-election, because it was “obvious” he couldn’t win? But now, less than five days later, | Read More »
Cockstradamus: Akin, pigskins, and a Ramblin’ Wreck for Dems after next tea party
