On Obama

Just a quick note on what I heard in Obama's state of the union speech:  A whole lot of what the American people want to hear and nothing about what his real plans are, unless you are talking about his strict "sanctions" on Iran.  Heck, maybe he'll just give them the evil eye.  Maybe I am just sick of politics.  I did hear the words he said and noticed that there was spin.  Yes, even in the state of the union.  So much politicking, trying to force republicans to vote for his agenda, "because you can't just vote against everything".  It is as bad as when he claimed that the reason Massachussetts voted in a Republican on a platform of conservatism and smaller government was because the voters there were angry with the Bush Administration and wanted to send a message.  Is anyone even buying this anymore?  He is starting to believe he really is the second coming of Christ.  He really must. I cannot figure him out.  I really don't want to believe that he hates this country, but what his policies are doing to it just defy understanding.  Unless it is an understanding of communism and socialism.  He said some real whoppers tonight also.  I was listening to it on the radio, and I could hear the laughter and some of the crap he was trying to sell, by some of his democrat representatives no less I'm sure.  I think it took them off gaurd just as much.

So, after two weeks of back to back republican meetings(County and state committe meetings) I at least have a sense of where at least the majority of republicanism has moved.  And it is to the right, toward a more conservative base and a proponant of smaller government.  I am energized by the platforms adopted by both committees.  I will post some of the platforms in posts to come, but what was refreshing was the adoption of verbage which reads more or less as, a platform based on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the united States.  And then of course supporting the National republican platform but this is where I like the precedent being set:  If the Republican National Commitee endorses a candidate that does not represent the platfor of the Declaration and Constitution, then our committee cannot and will not endorse that candidate.  As in Massachussetts, tea party organizations full of independents and democrats as well as republicans are coming out in force and voting conservative.  Some things are not about just party.  If you are a RINO, WATCH OUT! 

That being shared, LETS CLEAN HOUSE! (and senate, lol)
