In fact it may be us who brings it to a head.<br />RTEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-27499020368049584202013-11-09T22:30:24.935-05:002013-11-09T22:30:24.935-05:00They will not turn on politicians like Obama as lo...They will not turn on politicians like Obama as long as the "producers" keep producing and the "no -producers" reap the benefits. Until we have a Galt like revolution this will not change.<br /><br />For this reason, as much as it pains me to admit, I do not think a "slowdown" will do much, sooner or later it will have to come to a head. <br />DCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-63355678880458976022013-11-09T18:53:30.677-05:002013-11-09T18:53:30.677-05:00Now DC you know I didn’t say that. “The long term...Now DC you know I didn’t say that. “The long term point & bright spot coming out of this election going forward is the chance that people, including supporters, will turn on BO due to the constant uncovering of the inevitable problems resulting from the deceit with which ObamaCare was enacted & is being implemented.” From the post before “I’m hoping all the commotion about ObamaCare slows it down a bit to give us another chance for a Galt-like figure to come forward. Otherwise we’re gone.”<br /> <br />Your public treasury comment ending the Republic is the last stage in Death Of Democracy. The turnout last Tuesday in NJ confirmed my calculation of 37%. Lonegan-Booker turnout was 25%. Just imagine if everyone came out to vote – we are so outnumbered that we would never win another election.<br />RTEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-54566804463073197762013-11-09T18:51:42.455-05:002013-11-09T18:51:42.455-05:00So you think it is a "bright spot" that ...So you think it is a "bright spot" that McAuliffe "only won" by 2.5% in a state turning increasingly into a blue state?<br /> <br />Unfortunately the you-know-what is going to have to hit the fan before a change for the good happens. And it is questionable if the change will be good.<br /> <br />This is the result of an electorate that has been lulled to sleep over the last 80 years with demographics and politicians zeal for self importance. As it was pointed out over 200 years ago, once those in power realize they can use the public treasury as their own personal piggy bank, that will be the end of the Republic.<br /> <br />In short as a nation, we are reaping what we have sown.<br /> <br /><br />DCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-74243577120984776332013-11-08T18:40:58.879-05:002013-11-08T18:40:58.879-05:00Thanks for including de Blasio.

The voters supported tax increases for universal free pre kindergarten. DeBlasio's main agenda: increase taxes, increase welfare spending, end stop-frisk. He is arguably a 100% socialist. Therefore the next 4 years may impact NYC with businesses and higher income fleeing, greater government dependency, and increased crime rate, and on path to bankruptcy. Too bad too many New Yorkers are too young to remember how horrible NYC was with Mayor David Dinkens 1989-93 before Rudi and Mike saved NYC.<br /><br />IBD provides additional details - http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/110613-678254-bill-de-blasio-will-ruin-new-york.htmEconomics501http://economics501.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-15525877363087613492013-11-08T18:04:51.223-05:002013-11-08T18:04:51.223-05:00Hi Doug:

The Republican Party was able to capture a component of the electorate that has eluded them.<br /><br />Lonegan & Cuccinelli never surrendered their principles choosing instead to accept defeat over deceit. Christie distanced the tea party platform and won. Which road will the Republican Party follow, compromise and win or steadfast and lose? Which road would you take?<br />SSnoreply@blogger.com
