Why are Founding Fathers Got it Right

Democrats Outmaneuver Republicans

Recently a friend of mine asked me who I thought was going to win the political race. Seeing how polarized the country is now, you know the race is going to be close and will probably come down to the wire. If the democrats continue to outmaneuver the republicans, I fear they will pull it out come November. The democrats saw a big opening in trying to win the military vote back from the republicans who held a 10% advantage there in the 2008 race with McCain and focused on them at the DNC. Also, in trying not to lose the evangelical vote, the democrats quickly voted to include God and Israel in their 2012 platform. Furthermore, in focusing on diversity at the DNC, I feel they hoped to shore up the minority vote there as well. Bottom line, if the republicans want to pull out the election in November, they need to be more politically savvy. Overall Score: Dems 1- Rep 0.

Blueprint to a Republican Victory

Focus on demographics you can win, not what you can’t--The republicans need to focus on the key demographics that they can still get. They did a great job in pulling back some of the female vote at the RNC but can still do more there. Also, their apparent new strategy on focusing on the evangelical vote is certainly a good idea given what happened there with Bush.

Go bold on specifics for their polices—everyone wants specifics when it comes to politics, but that is not the nature of the beast. In my last blog I spoke on the two great challenges that our nation faces today: the economy and the debt. Even if the Romney/Ryan ticket doesn’t want to get too specific on their policies, I think it is crucial for Romney to show the nation how his successful business experience is going to translate into great prosperity for the US economy. Bottom line, the “Comeback team for America” needs to get more specific on how they are going to lead America to greatness again!

Obama’s Vision for our Country

Here are some fun facts for you to chew on, under Obama’s great leadership:

· The poverty rate has NEVER been higher in our nation

· There has NEVER been more people on welfare then there is now

· More jobs come from GOVERNMENT than any other sector

· Gave the GOVERNMENT the biggest control over our freedom EVER with Obamacare

The question you need to ask yourself about your choice in November is if weather you want a nation that is built around the GOVERNEMENT or a nation that is built around the PRIVATE sector?

Why our Founding Fathers got it right

Here is one great example on why I think the PRIVATE sector does a much better job in most cases vs. GOVERNMENT. The idea of green energy sounds great, getting our nation off our addiction to foreign oil sounds so promising. So, how did the government do with all that stimulus money they had for green energy? I have one word for you: Solyndra. Most analysis on how the government did with the stimulus money for green energy have shown exactly what I mean by inefficient and wasteful. Bottom line, the government has too much inefficiency and has proven throughout history to be downright woeful in spending money wastefully. At a time when we HAVE to be sound on our budget and right the ship when it comes to our budget deficit, do you really want big government driving the US ‘forward.’--or do we want to ‘Believe in America’ again and bring freedom to the people again?

You know where my vote is. I’m going to bet on America and freedom Mr. Biden, and do everything I can to see the Romney/Ryan comeback team lead our country.
