Polls showed that many people thought Iraq was going badly. Polls showed Americans were concerned with education, jobs, healthcare, and security. Polls showed a small majority believing that America was heading in the wrong direction! Yet amazingly, Bush was still elected.... why?? Some people around here have a clue, but they don't have a remedy. The overriding factor comes down to a very simple concept: morals and attitude.
Since 1980, conservative values have been marching steadily forward. Conservatism has deep roots and a powerful base. Even the anomaly of Clinton is explained by the fact that he was a very moderate centrist who never received more that 50% of the vote. The grip of conservatism is evidenced by the Reps holding both houses of Congress, the majority of governorships, and especially by Bush's re-election. As demonstrated by polls, people did not vote so much on issues... they voted for Bush the man.
This is because the Democratic Party may have legitimate ideas, but they are damaged goods. The Dems align themselves with Al Sharpton, Michael Moore, and Hollywood. The Dems embrace creepy websites like MoveOn.Org. The Dems are doomed to failure and are basically rudderless because of the vocal minority within their party that repulses moderate Americans. This dramatic shift to the left -while America remains basically conservative- is killing their chances at connecting with people and spreading their ideals. It's almost like how some radical extremists have hijacked moderate Islam, and taints any goodness that it has to offer. And like with that example, the reasonable Muslims are almost complicit in allowing for the dangerous fringe to fester and hurt the cause... such is the position of the Democratic Party. I call these extremists the arrogant elitists.
They think middle America is stupid. They think our flag-waving is stupid and our churchgoing is stupid. They think having more than 2 kids is stupid and driving SUVs is stupid. They think where we live is stupid, our guns are stupid, and our undying belief in America's goodness is stupid. They think our beliefs are stupid, they think our votes are stupid, and they definately think GWB is stupid. Welcome to the land of the arrogant elites.
The elites are defined by a general outlook and supreme arrogance. They believe they are superior to others. They babble about "cultural centers" and studies about post-bac degrees. They know better. They are way ahead of us, and view the masses as primitive animals that they must sheperd. Our stupidity and vast numbers make us dangerous.
They can label tens of millions of Americans as racist with the drop of a hat. They malign and impune 100+ million Americans as fundamentalist nuts without blinking. They demean our most basic foundations and institutions by saying they allow for Nazi leaders. They show contempt for the people by labeling whole populations fascist. They corrupt our history by viewing it as one American atrocity or failure after another. They are doom and gloom pessimists, and cynical to the core. Their hand-wringing, conceited, negative, "can't do" attitude is fundamentally un-American. They brains are too big for America... they have outgrown her and are ashamed of her.
THIS is what the American voice was saying on November 2nd. Bush was weak and easily defeatable. The fact that he passed while losing on the issues is a slap in the face and complete rejection of the values and morals eminating from the arrogant elites withing the Democratic Party. Until the Dems reform, they will be marginalized. They are lossing touch and failing to connect to mainstream America because of the hate and arrogance from the elites.
Many at this website will reactively attacked my words, not even realizing I am the one who is trying to help the Dems get with the program. Sometimes it takes a political outsider to provide a perspective that can't develop within the box. Take it for what it's worth.
