Obama unravelling 5 days before election

Benghazi news is leaking out daily painting a picture of a neglectful Obama administration which failed to address security concerns at the consulate and embassey in Libya. We shouldn't have had an embassey in this dangerous, irrational, unpredictable place to start with, but that would have sent the wrong message when Obama is promoting the narrative that al Qaeda has been defeated and is on the run. On the run where? From one camp to five others in Libya? Obama has made the mistake of pretending to be a Great Warrior, and he's not. Obama should leveled with the American people, and he should have been working to get us out of the mideast, but instead he's deceived the American people, played Captain America and the coverup is killing him.

Plus, the Left has never understood the average American, but it's even worse now. This election is not about Right and Left, with the Left battling a cartoon bunch of racists and homophobes out to destroy civil, compassionate society, but this is how Obama's operatives portray the "Right", while Obama portrays the battle as between the rich and powerful capitalists against the poor and the middle class worker. Most average Americans are really neither Left nor Right, but many are disatisfied with our current economic condition, and they are war weary. Average Americans, black, white, brown, young, old, male, female, etc, will come out in numbers that devastate Democrats, and the Left will not see it coming. It's the fault of the Left, because media, the unions, the special interest groups, the universities, the intellectuals and elite government officials who represent the Left think they have marginalized the Right, because the Left thinks in terms of racist Tea Partiers, or the homophobe screaming at a poor gay person, or a fat white business man keeping women down because he sees them as inferior. The Left has hopelessly mischaracterized the Right and have conflated their version of the Right with the average American. This is a fatal mistake for the party.

Wake up, America, there's only 5 days left

 I refuse to play the too-cool-to-vote-Republican game because we have to give Republicans another chance to be an opposition party -- there's no other choice except for Obama to have another 4 years, and that's not a viable option.

With all the revelations regarding Benghazi and how 4 Americans were left hanging to die, and with the administration stonewalling the investigation to get past the election, Obama is disqualifed to carry on as President. If this much suspicion and documented bad behavior surrounded a CEO of a company on top of four years of poor results directly related to the CEO's job performance and wrongheaded investments, the CEO would be fired. David Ignatius is even calling for Obama to come clean on Benghazi -- it's slowly becoming bipartisan.

We have to change directions, clear up the foreign policy mess, unshackle private enterprise, remove all obstacles to energy production, reform entitlements and the welfare state, and begin a new era of peace and prosperity. Obama is a pure political animal. At least we know Romney understands economics and business, even if he's still flawed with some statist ideas. Romney has expressed an understanding of why businesses smaller than the huge corporations must be allowed to compete, and I think the American people can hold him to his word. Romney is basically a good person, so there's hope for him -- I no longer think Obama is an honest person, and I know he's an incorrigible statist who will not do anything to create peace and prosperity if politics and progressive ideology demand otherwise, and poilitics and Leftist ideology always do demand otherwise -- it's why we need someone who will not use political means but rather economic/anti-statist means.

Morning Joe 11/1/2012 -- Oh my

The regulars on Morning Joe today were examples of the intellectual unravelling on the Left due to partisan dishonesty. Mika incomprehensively talked about damage done by the hurricane, Sandy, and how President Obama and Governor Christie are working together and how this makes Obama look presidential, and that they are both doing their jobs -- then she went on a rant regarding Christie being asked a question about what it's like working with a political foe. Mika didn't quite know where to aim her rage, because she had obviously not thought it through. Instinctively, Mika knows she has to attack Romney and build up Obama, as do all the partisans, but especially the Left right now, because the Left is scared silly they will lose next Tuesday. When Mika couldn't pinpoint the target of her anger she said something to the effect that Romney should just congratulate the President for doing a good job. How this all got back to Romney was amazing.

The Left has an intellectual problem. They are twisting logic into pretzels as they attempt to turn each news story into a political narrative that boosts Obama and tears down Romney. It was funny watching Richard Wolfe have to act as if he's a partisan ally with Donnie Deutsche -- when Deutsche would go on one of his ignorant rants criticizing Romney for what were sophomoric points of contention, you could see the pain on Wolfe's face  as if he was wondering why he has to suffer this embarrassment for his party and beloved President, but he's a trooper so he trudged on.

They showed some polls which have Romney closing the gap in swing states, and they even appeared to acknowledge that the polls might be weighted too heavily toward Democratic turnout, but the conclusions had Obama winning because, get this, since the polls have consistently shown Obama in the lead, the impression is that Obama is winning, so he will likely win. They are practically admitting, or hoping, that skewed polls will fool the public. It's absolutely amazing watching progressives implode intellectually and integrity-wise. It is so important for them to maintain power and to support the vailidity of interventionist government, they will say or do anything to win. The Morning Joe crew brought up again how without FEMA the people in the Northeast would be completely lost after the storm -- they can't imagine any other solution to such problems, therefore, in their eyes, government is validated and all the past fiascos are wiped from the slate. Because Obama and Christie hugged a few people and spoke glowingly of each other, the State is secure and all is well in DC, thank you. Oh my.

MSNBC

MSNBC is ten times more partisan than Fox. It's become painful to watch any part of MSNBC. Today, one host after the other acted like high school adolescents as they reported on Obama and Christie meeting to tour the hurricane damage in NJ. While Chrisitie was acting like a grownup doing his job, the MSNBC hacks practically giggled like gossips wondering if Obama and Christie were going to kiss and whether Christie would be wearing Obama's ring. It's really sad to watch these people unravel.

Why the election has to be about more than the candidates

I competely understand the skeptics who dismiss the importance of voting for Romney or Obama since they believe there's not a nickel's worth of difference between them. It could be that Romney is elected and congress is such that government does as it always does and expands its power and increases its cost to future American taxpayers, which means increasing the debt, but we have a say about that. 

Although practically every pundit in the world will proclaim the need to drop ideology and elect politicians who work together to get things done, the opposite is true. This election has to be about ideology -- a set of ideas. Will we continue with the set of ideas formulated in Europe over two centuries ago, social democracy, or will we implement a revolutionary set of ideas based on limited government and a free market? Contrary to what Obama repeats on the campaign trail, America has never operated under a limited government and a free market -- never. Relatively, our government has been more limited than it is now and the market more free than it is now, but government interventionism in the economy has been a reality since our beginning. Alexander Hamilton won the battle between limits and expansion of government power, so we developed a Merchant State for the start.

There have been many ups and downs but the power elite have always run the country for the most part. Of course, small and medium sized businesses have existed in economic liberty in many places at many times, but when government has wanted to make economic changes, it has made changes, and it has forced the country to make the changes. Regulations have piled up until businesses no longer have confidence enough to invest and expand, so we are in a quandary. Statism has shut down the American economy in ways that have caused long term unemployment with no sight of real recovery. The Fed is pumping 30 billion dollars into the economy each month just to keep it on life support, and this is after trillions of dollars of stimulus which were wasted.

Democrats are not focused on economic expansion and widespread prosperity -- they are focused on certain groups doing well, and they are focused on their ideas of fairness. Obama has taken efforts to spur economic growth in the green energy field and in auto manufacturing, but these efforts are influenced by his ideology regarding environmentalism and unionism. Obama's ideas are antithetical to free market principles, because government loses control of the economy in the free market, but if government continues to intervene in the economy it will collapse under the weight of the planning and interference. If our economy collapses, then there's no welfare state or anything else -- there's only panic and misery. We have to turn our nation around so that we're headed in the direction of economic growth -- it's the only way out of the conundrum we're in. This is not about voting for Romney -- it's about voting against statism and for economic freedom. The American people will have to keep Romney's feet to the fire, and congress's feet to the fire. It's up to us, not Romney. Obama obviously has to go, but we'll see about Romney.
