Pissing away an easy win

The Democrats had it in the bag. Six months ago, conservatives were storing up for the long winter of Democrat rule, both congressional and Whitehouse.

Then Democratic candidates made the mistake of answering specific questions. They revealed their future economic structures and ideas about troop withdrawal in Iraq. They wanted a six month time line for a pull-out. They shredded Patreaus to make themselves look smart. And the easy victory that they would have carried, sifted through Democrat fingers.

Hillary is a Socialist, plain and simple. Her codeword for socialist is Progressive. These are the same progressive thinkers that visited Stalin's regime in the 50s and decided that communal farms were the way to go. These were the useful idiots that the evil though thoroughly effective KGB recruited and planted. The same progressive thinkers it turns out that made Joseph McCarthy all too right. The Red Scare happened, not because McCarthy made it up, but because the leftists of the day made the same mistake that they make today--they coupled their thinking with that of despots.

So now Hillary has taken the New Deal and made a Newer Deal. Her proposal is one small step for a presidential candidate, and if it's implemented, will be the largest step backward for world-wide Democratic Capitalism since prior to WW I. America has become more mixed economy than true Laissez Faire capitalist state. Slowly, the government has assumed more responsibility for all facets of our life--but Hillary plans to make us a full-blown socialist state. Governmental control over the medical industry--already the most regulated industry in America--can be seen as nothing other than Marxist. Remember, the medical industry comprises 17% of the American economy.

Even given younger American's lust for a government that tucks them in at night, I think that there are enough Americans left over from the era that knew what truly made America great and different--and it sure wasn't socialism. Hillary has misjudged here. This, yoked with her unlikability, may yet be her undoing.

Had the Democrats continued to harp on Bush, ala Johnny Cochran in the OJ trial, there was no way they could lose. America hates this war; they don't understand it or the history of Iraq or the nature of fundamentalist Islam. Then came Patreaus' testimony before Congress. What to do? Here was a credible man that Congress unanimously approved of when he was appointed supreme commander in Iraq, and now he's telling us we're winning? Hillary and Barak want America to win, but they want America to win during their terms. So no Democrat at the recent debate would promise a withdrawal from Iraq before 2013! A win with Bush in office would be catastrophic to their political hopes.

Hillary now keeps pouring on the monetary promises, announcing $5000 baby-bonus checks to be doled out for every child born. Of course she announced this at the black caucus. I wonder why that is.

They had it, they really did. But it's an even race now because the Dems revealed their destructive ideologies.
