Although many conservatives say the November presidential  election is the most important election of our life the facts to date re the  primaries do not bear this out.
 The primary voter turnout numbers continue to be a problem for  Republicans who think they will retake the White House with a surge of  dissatisfaction with BO.  
 As previously reported Iowa & NH did  have small increases in their primary turnouts but not as high as  expected.  SC had an increase also but the totals fell short of  expectations & did not keep pace with population growth. Florida had an  actual decrease (-14%) as did Nevada (-26%), Colorado (-6%), Minnesota (-22%)  & Missouri (-57%).  Overall, the Republican primary vote total is down  13% to date or 450,000 less voters in 2012 than in 2008 @ this same  point.
 These figures make it hard to believe that the majority of  Americans are dissatisfied with BO or their plight in life in 2012 America as  they see it regardless of the messages I read from readers of this  blog.
 The poor Republican field of rotten flawed candidates is just  part of the problem – although this ensures us no chance.  
 The dominant force working against us is the  Death Of Democracy of the American Republic where we are on the  slippery slope of the apathy to dependence  stage from which we can quickly descend into the dependence back to bondage  stage where this cycle has always ended for every democracy.  America,  after the 2012 election would be the exception – if it doesn't  happen.
 Just look @ the above two graphs to see what is working  against us – the lines @ the far right of both graphs are virtually straight  up.  In the first graph there are now 45  million Americans on food stamps @ a cost of over $75 billion per year to  taxpayers up from 28 million people in 2008 @ a cost of $38 billion per  year.  In the second graph we see that as unemployment benefits run out  people find a way to transfer their dependence to disability benefits.   Both are examples of BO's design for making everyone government  dependent.
 Do you know more people who want to create wealth or be the  recipients of the redistribution of wealth?
 Throughout history, including current events, there have  been countries where the majority of the citizenry longed for government control  of their lives.  All of the above information, coupled with only 29% of all  Americans saying they are paying close attention to the Republican primaries  & only 22% of those under age 49 saying they are paying attention can only  make you think that the November 2012 election is important if you are fighting  for the heritage of our country & to hold on to everything you have ever  worked for. 
 

 
 
 
You are correct. Give people free goodies, and they will vote for you. It is that simple. Democrats are giving
ReplyDeletethe free goodies. Republicans do not know how to cope with that issue. Saying they want to cut deficits, means nothing to average person who are receiving those goodies. They want the goodies to continue.
What to do? - simple, vote for Doug.
