Three simple ways the GOP will win a second term for Obama!

As we gear up for the New Hampshire Primary tomorrow, we are faced once again wondering which Less-than-Reagan candidate will be the next target of media and voter scrutiny. The taste for blood has become a delicacy in the mouths of Republican Voters. You would think that smart candidates would avoid trying to win the top spot in the polls with the attacks that have happened to the placeholders in this Primary. Voters have jumped teams and loyalties more times than Lindsey Lohan has dropped out of rehab...and the Democrats are LOVING IT!


The funniest part about all of this is Conservative Voters do not trust one word the mainstream media says... except when it comes to the poll results. Then, if the polls show Mitt Romney or Ron Paul in the lead, it is written off as supporters padding the votes. If any of the remaining candidates make it to the top of the polling, only then do voters finally begin their homework on a candidate. Finally leaving voters with the choice of eight candidates that America will have to hold their noses to vote for, again, in order to pray for a win in November based solely on an ANTI-Obama vote.


All of this has caused the 2012 Republican primary to become a three ring circus and is showing the world that Americans are not the leaders the world used to be in awe over. Conservatives have been saying that our freedoms and America’s leadership for the world are riding on this election... and that much is true, but it is not the Democrats that will pull the plug on America, it is the Conservative Voters because of three very simple reasons.


Candidate Idolatry and the Two Party System


Every election, seemingly rational people begin their search for a representative that mirrors great Presidents of the past. However, those Presidents were great because they were the right fit at the right time. Candidate supporters begin their journey with the basic knowledge of their candidates past and how that supports their values which they have fought against the current administration over. However, when supporters of rival candidates begin to dig deeper, we tend to fall into two categories...Educated Voters or Blind Followers.


The Educated Voter will take the information given to them and either change their candidate or decide that the information was true, but did not warrant a change in support. For example, some Rick Perry supporters were extremely vocal anti-illegal immigration advocates, but decided his business and job creation aspects earned him continued support. Supporters with this mentality, keep their credibility as long as they do not bend their values or attack rival candidates on issues their candidate is guilty of.


The Blind Followers are the most dangerous to any election. These supporters become so devoted to their candidate that they completely throw away their credibility. They are unable to rationally debate and revert into personal attacks. Their blind loyalty to a person becomes more important than the pursuit of keeping America the greatest country in the world. These supporters throw temper tantrums if their candidates do not win and threaten to stay home or support a Third party in the General Election. They blame the Two Party system for their candidates failure and believe starting, or running as, a Third Party Candidate will somehow win them the election. My question to these voters is, “if you are unable to change the thinking in a political party, how do you think you can win an entire country?”

Voter Fraud


For at least the past three years, the reality of Voter Fraud has finally become a talking point. Reports ranging from ACORN to Unions being in charge of voting machines to illegal immigrants being bussed into precincts to vote are finally being exposed, however our election process is still poised to win Obama a second term.


Maine and Nebraska are currently the only states that distribute their electoral votes per district instead of a winner-take-all system. Basically, the popular vote per state equals the win of all electoral votes, regardless of the number of Congressional Districts won by a candidate. Thanks to this system, Barack Obama will easily win a second term with very little effort.


Let’s use California to demonstrate exactly what this scheme would look like. Organizations, such as ACORN, would set their targets on the heavily populated urban districts in a state, such as Los Angeles, San Francisco or Oakland. These demographics are more inclined to vote for the the Democrat candidate whereas the wide open, sparsely populated rural areas such as Auburn, Folsom tend to vote Republican. Even though there are more districts in California that are considered rural or conservative than the liberal leaning large cities, groups like ACORN will only have to ensure the larger cities push the popular vote for the state over to the Democrats favor by padding fraudulent votes in a few key districts, therefore winning the states 55 Electoral Votes.


Lack of Voting the way our Founding Fathers designed our government to run.


Conservatives are constantly complaining about the size and reach of our Federal Government. “Smaller Government” is the primary rally cry at Tea Parties or taglines for candidates. Our Forefathers rose up against tyrannical leadership, rose up against a monarchy in order to create a government that would form a more perfect union with representatives of the people, by the people and for the people of this great country.


In spite of the current administrations tireless attack to this country’s Constitution, the Liberal agenda has actually used our Constitution, and the Founder’s design for our government, to completely tear this nation apart from within. For more than 60 years, the Liberal movement has quietly taken control of our small local races and worked their way up. They have patiently and tirelessly taken over the positions that directly impact American’s day to day life and from there worked their way up to the Oval Office.


Conservative Voters are at odds with their voting thought process. In life we strive to be number one. We work to be top in our professions, head of industry, leaders of the world... but when we vote we can’t seem to grasp the concept that our Founding Fathers intended that the President be the least important of the three branches of government. Our government was designed to be “grassroots,” the roots, or citizens, are more important.


In every election we have become fixated on the “top race” leaving the local races on your ballot to fend for themselves. We frantically donate our few dollars to the “top race” in order to fund these outrageous national campaigns, while the local candidates struggle to raise anything. These local races will give you the opportunity to have an audience with your representative, how easy do you think it will be to have an audience with the President? The local Representatives will directly impact your daily life much more than the President. As voters, we fixate on the top races to the point of causing division and “why should I even vote” mentality.


We need voters to show up at the voting booth and in a country as large and as diverse as America is, bringing our focus back to the local races will give us a greater chance of winning in 2012! If voters stay home we will loose the Congress that was won back in 2010 after 7 years under Democrat control and we will loose even more control in the Senate. If this happens, because we have focused solely on the Presidential race, America will be lost.


The California Impact


California is set to make a major impact if the Republican Party and voters will convert their thinking. By the time California’s polls close on Election Day, the media is already announcing the projected winner for the Presidential race. With 55 Electoral Votes, which the nation assumes will automatically be counted for Obama, California must refocus it’s attention to the Congressional, Senate and Assembly races. The California Republican Party must refocus the party’s focus to the Congressional races. With 53 Congressional districts from this one state, California is poised to get voters enthused to vote in November by local candidates they can relate to. We need voters to show up and California will not do that by focusing on the Presidential race.


Out of 53 Congressional seats in California, only 19 are filled by a Republican. In 2010, the Republicans won back control of the house by winning 53 seats nationwide...in 2012 the Democrats only need to win 25 seats to reclaim control and they are banking on Conservative voters to only focus on the Presidential race as usual. America cannot afford to loose any control of the Congressional Pursestrings or Bill Creation. Even if Obama wins a second term through voter fraud, if we keep control of Congress and reclaim control of the Senate, we will have the support to Impeach, but as we have learned from Bill Clinton, impeachment doesn’t mean anything without the Senates vote for Removal. The real power is in the Congressional and Senate races, we must vote smarter.


If Obama win a second term and we continue to vote as usual, focusing on the top race while the other races flounder on their own, there will not be another Tea Party to wake voters up and if the decline of our country the past 3 years was not enough for you, imagine what 4 more years under the control of both Obama and Nancy Pelosi will be like!

  1. I agree with this essay as Republicans will be divided just as they were in 1964. Ron Paul, like Goldwater in 1964 was fighting not just Romney, Mitt's dad but organizing a philosophical revolution as well. Goldwater won this revolution but lost the election and Republicans have since then, like Goldwater, have called themselves conservatives, even if they were socialist RINOs. So until this conflict is resolved it is best to focus on state and local races.

  2. Thanks for the reply! You are exactly right. As America has become more and more diverse, we need to focus on races that will be less divisive and get people to actually show up at the voting booth.
