Just one year ago, Barack Obama won by 6 points over John McCain in Virginia.  That marked the first in 44 years a Democrat carried the Old Dominion state, a big surprise.  In New Jersey, the bluest of the blue states, Obama won by 15 points, not so much of a surprise. Well, well, well, how the mighty ONE has fallen in just a year.

Last night in Virginia, Republican Bob McDonnell trounced Democrat Creigh Deeds by 18 points.  Also last night, in New Jersey, the bluest of the blue states, Republican Chris Christie defeated Democratic incumbent Governor Jon Corzine by 5 points.  That’s a 24 point turnaround in Virginia in one year alone! In New Jersey, a 19 point swing in one year.  What is this? Just one year ago, all the pundits on CNN, MSNBC, left-wing bloggers, and others were saying that conservatism was dead and the Republican party would be in the political wilderness for decades. I wonder if James Carville is calling in sick today.

Well the GOP in some ways is still in the wilderness, just look at the mess in NY-23.  They better wake up and realize that conservatism wins elections, not moderation.  If Doug Hoffman would have been the Republican nominee from the start, conservatives would have been celebrating four victories. Instead, we were given Dede Scozzafava, who was to the left of the Democrat Bill Owens. A Republican in support of card check, the porkulus package, pro-gay marriage, pro-choice, are you kidding me? The RNC wasted $900,000 on a liberal Republican, who then turned on the RNC and endorsed the Democrat. Geez, what gratitude on Scozzafava’s part?!

The third victory for conservatives last night came in Maine. Voters rejected same-sex marriage, getting 53 percent of the vote.  So, I ask the naysayers from 2008. Is conservatism dead? In my opinion, HELL NO!!! Conservatism never died, and it never will. We will never allow it to happen.

I heard this morning that President Obama wasn’t watching last night’s election results.  Well if he didn’t watch, he heard about it by now. After last night, I believe his radical agenda is in big trouble.

Message to President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid from the conservatives:

We’re not going away, we’re not going, try so hard to break us, but all your diamonds turn to sand.  We’ll see you again, same time, next year.

They won’t consider common sense reforms such as tort reform, portability, and health savings accounts. These 3 common sense reforms all give too much freedom to the American people. These would get the Demo-commies further away from their ultimate goal of a single-payer government run healthcare system. Competition would come if all 1300 private companies had to compete with each other nationally. Yet, the Democrat/Communist party believes the government is the only thing that can compete with the health insurance is government. It’s really all about one thing & one thing only; government control over YOU. They won’t say it out loud, but we know the truth. They want the American people dependent on the government for everything. That system has failed everywhere it’s been tried. It’s called socialism.

I’m an over-the-road truck driver. I’m very much against “cap-and-trade” like all of us. This legislation will devastate the economy in every way. Let me tell you about it.

In a recent article in Land Line magazine, if cap-and-trade becomes law, the cost of diesel fuel will increase by at least 88 cents per gallon, according to the Congressional Budget Office. This will cause our shipping rates and fuel surcharges to increase sharply. The consignees that receives the freight will inevitably be passed on to the consumer. The cost of everyday items like food, clothing, and medical supplies will increase sharply.  Have you ever heard of the phrase, “if you got it, a truck brought it.” It’s very true.

But the Enviromental Protection Agency(EPA), or as I call them, the “Eco-Wacko Propaganda Agency, is planning on implementing its’ own regulations by the power under the Clean Air Act that was misguidedly given to them by the Supreme Court in EPA vs. Massachusetts in 2007. The EPA is trying to pressure the Senate to act based on this reckless decision.

I don’t believe we should let unelected bureaucrats bully anybody into accepting their political agenda. That’s why we need to call all our Congressmen and Senators in both the House and Senate and tell the EPA to back off or introduce legislation to strip them of the power to implement their agenda. Better yet, tell them to introduce legislation to cut funding to the EPA.  Congress has control of the purse strings, the EPA needs to be reminded of that. Let’s all tell the EPA to go away.
