Why the left is in trouble...

I would have to say that it gives me pure delight because I know how much trouble the left really is in. The right just has too much power in this country now that so many states are staunchly red. Democrats are being split in to two factions: the old traditional unionists and the new Michael Moore types. My grandfather is a Michigan unionist democrat. With that recent letter from moveon.org to the DNC, it is clear that their new base wants to be the Democratic Party. The party really had four bases. They had the great lakes, the northeast, the west coast, and minorities. I think that the northeast and the west coast are the crazies and have made a move to become the party’s face. Minorities I think are a vulnerable spot because I am starting to see a change in blacks to Cosby’s comments that they are in charge of themselves. Hispanics voted for Kerry only 55-45. The bases of the two parties really are what determines the tide of governments. The fact is that the left has one that is deteriorating. The only active base they have is so far from Middle America that the candidate they want and a candidate that can win are not even close. Bush’s base however is staggering. For the first time Bush beat Kerry in voters with a graduate degree. (in terms of education, Kerry beat Bush only in those without high school degrees, and those who have doctorates) This means that education and media, the pillar of misinformation that democrats rely on to spread their ridiculous ideas, are not as unfair as they used to be. With the advent of fox news, talk radio, and the right wing blogosphere, Americans are starting to get information that actually supports things like capitalism and lower taxes. The Great Lakes is no longer a lock either. Wisconsin barely and I mean barely went Kerry and Iowa turned red. With new facets of information, I am confident my home state of Michigan will go red soon. If the minority pillar even splits, it will mean the end for the democrats. If any state in the great lakes waivers, it will mean the end. Our base is just too solidified with this new assault from Michael Moore and Europe. The best thing they did was to unite all conservatives behind Bush. Because I will tell you right now that the right could be in the same situation the democrats are. If Bush had lost, we could have seen a split in to the two main republican factions- the libertarians who care about taxes, and the Christians who care about abortion. Republicans that you’d find on Wall Street and I have a hard time liking the Patriot Act and big government and control in our lives which I would say GWB has not made headway. Except for devout christian republicans, I felt that the rest really didn't care for his bungling of Iraq and his big government deficits, and his ever meddling with the common man through patriot act and the FCC. I was thinking about just voting Badnarik and saying whoopee, it was your own fault. And then I heard the Sarandons, Robbins', Moore's, Europeans, and everyone that hated traditional America so much that I had to just cast my vote for GWB. These people were instrumental in getting GWB elected in that they really consolidated conservatives. They made us come together and back the President. Fahrenheit 911 did way more good for GWB than it did bad, that's for sure. How to fix it democrats? Their solution for this ideological split is to put up outrageously left candidates who just switch to moderation. That way the outrageous left is satisfied because they know their candidate's true colors, and the moderates are satisfied because of the moderation. Lots of bloggers have noticed and I have read a column on Hillary Clinton's current moderate transformation. Hillary is talking to the right of GWB on immigration and a couple of other issues. She knows how her husband was elected, but unfortunately people see through her much easier. Only now is Bill seen as the obscene egotist that he is, but people know that Hillary Clinton is a vicious soulless creature from the depths of earth. The fact is, the left had one chance to really breakthrough in this country, and they just couldn't do it. The last election made America choose between the two and they chose Bush. All of his mistakes, the vicious media, the rest of the world opinion, and everything that could go went against him and yet he still got a majority. It really was a severe blow to them and the only way to recover is to accept that they will have to go Lieberman. Hillary Clinton will get absolutely torn to pieces by John McCain in 2008. Dick Morris has made it his life's goal to see that Mrs. Clinton never attains the presidency, and if she runs in '08, you will see him and his expose on her everywhere. John McCain is the kind of republican that I like. He is outside the box, he says what he believes and he is committed to ending pork barrel spending. His support for global warming causes is scary though. As Michael Crichton makes a point in his new novel, we know that it is a bunch of bunk. I love it when art makes a political statement for us. It is so rare because most artists are the right brained creative illogical eutopian people that they are. They are more swept up by emotions and words and rhetoric and less by logic and reality. This was a horribly organized post.
