I saw this article and the first thing that popped into my head was, “Does this guy come out of his house often?”
The Democrats Field a Liberal Dream Team (Via WSJ.com)
But what Mr. Obama has done is create an all-liberal ticket — a very, very liberal one, at that — in a nation whose electorate is still center-right. The political mood may be a bit more centrist today than it was in 2004, but it’s still far more conservative than liberal. And liberal Democratic presidential tickets usually lose, as John Kerry did with John Edwards as his running mate in 2004.
Oh really? Since when? Mr. Barns, I am not sure where you reside or even if you reside on the same planet as I. But let me, a normal, every day, common man inform you that this nation has drifted to the left, long ago. This is, in case you have not looked at your calendar as of late, 2008 and not 1984. This Nation, as a whole, has not been “Center Right” or leaning in a conservative direction since the 1980’s.
This is because in the late 1980’s, the Nation realized that Reagan’s nice, inspiring speeches, where nothing more THAN nice, inspiring speeches and containing nothing for the common man. This was confirmed by Ronald Reagan himself, when he fired those Air Traffic controllers, who were simply looking to hold the Government’s feet to the fire and tried forcing them to honor their promises made.
Once this nation realized they had been duped by a Presidential Administration, who quite frankly, did not give a damn about them, they chose the Democratic Party and their supposed agenda for the American people. This proven when Reagan’s successor, George H.W. Bush lost his reelection bid for President.
It was, it is said, to be the ultimate deception of the American people. By the use of the abject pimping of the christian people. It is one that will not ever happen again. Thanks to the internet, and technology, the American people will never be lied to like that again.
