Elections Have Consequences

Over the coming 6 days, you should expect to hear two things. 1. Republicans want to cooperate with Obama. 2. Democrats are on the rise, polls are changing, and the losses will not be as bad as predicted.

Neither statement is true of course, but that does not matter. Desperation among democrats and especially the all out panic in media outlets has led them to fabricate stories designed to demoralize the GOP base, and spin massive losses as a win.

It may be true that some establishment Republicans still don’t understand what is expected of them. That’s fine, the next election is coming. What is happening now can be done again in 2, 4, and 8 years. What has begun in America is not a one election fight. A new generation of patriots is committed to turning this ship of state back toward the Constitution, and we are fully aware that it can not be done in one election cycle.

The truth is however that many GOP leaders (especially the soon to be elected, unqualified, inexperienced, fire breathing, Constitutional fanatics) do understand, and fully intend to wreak havoc on DC as usual. Do not be discouraged or dismayed by claims to the contrary, especially when they come to you via outlets such as Network News, New York Times, or the Washington Post.

The other lie about “losses are less than expected” is a little like the doctor coming in after a major surgery and telling the patient, “We had to amputate both your legs, remove an eye, and you will lose your hearing within 48 hours. You have less than six months to live, and the bill is over 1 million dollars. But hey, you woke up after anesthesia really quickly.”

The last time a party in power suffered the kind of losses likely to be seen in next Tuesday’s election was almost 100 years ago, and it happened for precisely the same reason. An out of control socialistic government was called to account for lurching the nation toward collapse under the weight of debt from reckless spending and tyrannical control.

The situation on debt and control is a lot worse now than it was then; and the snap back reaction may vary proportionally as well.

When the results are in next Wednesday, all true patriots should understand that it will be day one of a new battle. Hold them accountable, insist on a Constitutionally limited government, or vow to turn more of them out of office in two years. Fight on patriots.

We have them surrounded.
