Senseless

It's clear from last night's election coverage and this morning's talkfests that Obama supporters have gone totally Helen Keller.  They didn't hear nor heed the warnings from Virginia or New Jersey, and still don't understand what happened to them in Massachusetts.  They are not just tone deaf, they are blind and may take leave of any remaining senses.  Last night, uber progressive and historical footnote Howard Dean, remained steadfast that the only mistake Democrats have made is that they haven't been liberal enough.  He even said that America remains a center-left nation.  Center-left!?  This morning David Axelrod, Obama's strategy guru, when asked if the White House should take some responsibility for the Democrats defeat in Massachusetts, said that "many things" were at play and that Scott Brown never even ran a commercial against health care reform.  Brrrring..........brrrring..........brrrring......click.  No one's answering, they must be getting their lessons down at the well again.

By all accounts Obama and his allies in Congress are still figuring ways in which to pass Obamacare.  Should they do it before Scott Brown can be seated, use their simple majority in reconciliation, or just make the House swallow what's already been cooked up in the Senate.  Big questions for even bigger egos.  If they're dumb enough to do any of those things, and I think they are, then they haven't seen 'nothin yet.  The anger that will pour forth from all corners of America will eventually bury them all under a sea of red come November.

Pollsters and aides for Scott Brown are beginning to tell their stories from the campaign trail.  Seems that Mr. Brown's numbers began to rise after Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska) and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana) cut their deals with Harry Reid in mid December.  Mr. Brown's numbers surpassed Martha Coakley's after Obama  decided to try the would-be Christmas bomber from Flight 253 in civil court and make American taxpayers pay for his defense.  The price of Obamacare and the president's coddling of terrorists proved too much for Massachusetts voters.

All the pundits are suggesting that Obama can readjust his course just as Bill Clinton did after the 1994 Republican sweep of Congress.  They offer that, like Clinton, Obama can gain a second term if he just slows the train down and becomes more bipartisan.  On the contrary, I hope he doesn't and I don't think he will.  I hope that he doesn't because what Obama and the Democrats have exposed, to those who were blind to it in the past, is their socialist roots and their desire to make America more like Europe.  They wish to remove everything that makes America unique, competitive, powerful or superior.  They seek a sameness so that no one could, should, or would ever feel the need to live better, freer, smarter or safer than we do here in the USA.  And for that they must be purged from all offices of power and kept as far away as possible from all levers of authority and influence as possible.
