The “social conservatives” and the “fiscal conservatives” are indeed divided by the inane methods of the primary… and especially by media sound bites.  Truly, we should see both factions coalesce about the surviving conservative candidate.

The media skews and whips anything the conservative candidates say into slick advertizing to benefit the liberal cause.  The real crisis is the inability of the voting citizens to relate the policies promoted by the candidates (or those executed by the party in power) to their personal lives. They devote more attention to American Idol and CSI Miami than they do reasoning for their vote.

“Independents” bought into the “Hope and Change” farce of the Obama ’08 campaign.  Now, they witness the demise of the economy from the policies of Obama and the (then) Democratic House and Senate… hope and change indeed!

So, we see positive signs every now and then.  We occasionally note that the avalanche of economic catastrophe “slowing.”  Before you attribute these signs to Obama, perhaps you might want to consider that

a) The budget granting arm on the legislature, the House of Representatives, is now under conservative control, and

b) some Democrats are stung by what they actually got for a president – so they vote with conservatives.

Dictators begin their rise by circumventing the legislative bodies.  Obama is a would be dictator.  How can I say this?  Now that he no longer “owns” both houses of the legislature (the House lost by popular election and the Senate marginalized by disaffection) he has resorted to executive order. On a good note: The next president can rescind such executive orders as easily as they were emplaced.

 
On a bad note: A significant number… important number… of voters cannot identify the tri-cameral system of checks and balances.  It is at THESE voters that the slick advertising is aimed.
