Public Opinion Always Beats Media's 'Conventional Wisdom'

Matt- stop pushing your old boss Gingrich. He is part of the problem with old line Republicans. We must have new blood. Know that any conservative who is attractive (intelligent, good looking, well spoken) are all going to be attacked viciously by the Damnocrats and the media out of extreme fear. The message has to be clear. America was sold a bill of goods in 2008. Is it going to buy another one in 2012? Follow the Reagan candidacy. All the experts said he could not win. But he was sincere with the American people, did not speak typical political BS, and asked, "Are you better off now than 4 years ago?", a very pointed question that could be asked again with a resounding "NO"!" as the answer from most people. Think about all those voters who cannot get jobs, who were laid off, contractors who have no work, laborers who are barely working, part-time employees who cannot get full time work, degreed people cutting grass and sacking groceries for a living. Then the candidate proposes how to fix the problem. Open up the Gulf to drilling and put 150,000 people back to work.Open up BLM and federal lands to drilling and put another 200,000 back to work while reducing crude oil prices drastically. Cut the welfare programs that are sucking the investment money out of America. The dope dealers and high school dropouts don't vote; why worry about cutting them off welfare? Provide for veterans, old folks, and the truly disabled. Quit sending money to countries who hate us. Get our military out of regions of the world where our only interest is oil, and develop our own vast resources. Let America do what it does best, and that is innovation. Our economy may soon sink to levels that will make the depression look like the roaring twenties. The so-called financial and investment people mostly missed the boat in 2008-2009, and will likely miss it again, causing us to lose our savings irrecoverably. When the value of stock goes to zero, it cannot come back. A bold candidate must take this bull by the horns and speak plainly with common sense. No more mealy mouthed slogans like "Hope and Change" (Obama) or "Change" (Bill Clinton), or all of Jimmy Carter's empty promises, or George H.W. Bush's "But I gave you a war and we took back Kuwait!" (3 years earlier, and nothing since). Right now Herman Cain might be able to pick up the guilty white man's vote. One of the conservative women might be able to pick up some women's votes, but not those of the pro-aborts. Another concern is that the conservatives must have poll workers in every polling place to assure that the Damnocrats do not steal yet another election. They have tried in many, and succeeded in some. The way to stop it is to put bold, qualified, and knowledgeable people at every polling place watching the machines and the ballot boxes.
