Change in the Middle


            Just when the campaign manager in me thinks Obama’s scandals will blow over by November, here comes another wave.  36,007 illegals who have committed crimes were released.  193 were homicide convictions and 426 were sexual assaults.  Hunh?!  Then Judicial Watch uncovered emails that surely show Washington was directing the IRS to target conservatives and tea parties.  And yet another Islamic organization has done a terrorist act by kidnapping 276 Nigerian girls while our Prez naps. Claims he is a Christian but was raised a Muslim.  Wouldn’t that make him especially canny to discern Islamic terrorist activity? And then there is Geitner telling us about how he was told to lie about Social Security. 

            It seems there is no end to the shenanigans of Obama.  I hope years from now we can ask each other, “Where were you and what event spurred you to horrify over where our country was headed.”  I know this isn’t happening on the coasts but here in middle America it has caught almost everyone.  Obama’s approval rating in Oklahoma is 27%.  Gosh, I thought there were at least that many yellow dog Democrats hearing his dog whistle.

            A constitutional conservative won the R Senate primary in Nebraska.  A constitutional conservative, Fisher won the last Senate seat.  Now what’s stunning about this is that Nebraska isn’t traditionally a red, red state.  They have had Dem Senators and Cornhusker kickbacks for a long time.  That judge who was blocking the Keystone pipeline was from Nebraska.  But Sasse is highly favored to take the seat in November. 

            Ditto  the Dakotas.  Remember Democrat Tom Dashcle?  Kent Conrad?  These guys are next door to Minnesota and the comedian Senator.  Dakota ain’t a bunch of bible belt rednecks.  These are mellow Lutheran and Catholic yankees.  But now  they are seeing and voting red. 

            From Louisiana to Montana the polls are turning Republican.  The coastal media has missed this story entirely.  Flyover country, they call us. We don’t count. Except that we do.  There are ten states in the Great Plains down to Texas and Louisiana with 20 Senators.  That used to be 1/3 Democrats but is threatening to become pure Republican.  There’s most of your Senate margin—Prior in trouble in Arkansas, Landrieu in trouble in LA, R’s taking empty Dem seats in NB and MT.  Doesn’t some journalist seem just a bit curious about what is happening? 

            The Shock is Obama’s socialism.  I started keeping a list of impeachable offenses, things no American defend -the -constitution-oath President would ever do but he did them anyway.  Changing duly passed laws at will, suing church schools for the ministers they hire, telling military chaplains not to share the gospel, arming Mexican drug cartels, abrogating bankruptcy and contract laws, telling private companies where they could and couldn’t locate a plant.  Sheesh! I got to 50 and stopped writing the horrors down. This is not America and we want our country back!

 This is where we begin—elections. The Obama era has transformed our local Republican party.  It used to be half a dozen people, mostly elderly ladies holding somnolent meetings—one would lead the pledge of allegiance, another would preside, another do the invocation. Now it is about 50 strong followers in our county and probably 30 activists volunteering 5-20 hours a week.  We’ve still got a long way to go, educating the public, getting strong candidates, doing Karl Rove micro-targetting of neighborhoods, but we are having loads of fun.  I suggested we need a bus or a 5th wheeler with a big red, white and blue banner announcing ourselves, with a large inflatable elephant on top.  We could take it around to all the fairs, civic festivals and such.  Immediately our Chair dialed up the internet on her phone and announced that all she could find was a 20-foot pink elephant.  Aw, we decided against it. You’d never know when a crabby Dem will go postal and get a gun and shoot our inflatable elephant.

Still we will campaign this fall in full force.  Let ‘er rip for  the Cherokee Strip!
