The truth about the upcoming election.

Just returned from CPAC in Washington DC and there were several things that impressed me that I would like to share.
First off: The conservative side of the Republican party will line up behind Mitt Romney, no matter what the mainstream media tries to spin differently.
On the straw poll taken at CPAC, plus a national voting mechanism that was put in place to correspond with the CPAC vote, Romney won both handily. Remember that people who attend CPAC are the conservative hard core,and those most earnest in addressing the concerns of the nation in traditional ways that have made the United States the pillar of freedom and opportunity. What we look for this year is a candidate who can beat Obama, and turn this country around from the dangerous spiral it is in. President Obama in three years has managed to destabilize not only the United States, but also the entire Middle East, our strategic ties with our new Eastern Europeon allies, negotiated a disasterous arms treaty with the Russians, embolden North Korea, China, insult Canada, and coddle Mexico. No leader worth the title can truly believe that our foreign policy is strong and purposeful.
Now in Afghanistan, while the Chinese move in and buy up the mineral rights and mine there, and our precious military is bled for a corrupt unsustainable government in Kabul, Obama's administration is embracing talks with the Taliban! This is the same group that executed women in stadiums, denied women the most basic of freedoms, harbored terrorist training camps,(anyone remember 911?)and tortured men for not having beards.
It is time to hope that change is coming in November, America is at a tipping point on a par with the Civil War, Great Depression, and World War 2. Four more Obama years are not an option!
Back to CPAC. Another point worth noting is the large number of young people attending. The majority of attendees were in the 18-55 category, and it was obvious that a large percentage of that group was well under 40. It was also telling to observe the large number of young women attending. My guess is that it is because young people have the most to lose if the country does not change direction. They are looking at a future which leaves them little hope for a better life than their parents. There is no upward mobility in a Socialist state.

Last observation. The CPAC crowd was polite, respectful of others, dressed nicely, and for the most part in shape. These are people that practice personal responsibility, and realize that the only way they can convey their message is to live it. They do not need a nanny state telling them what to eat, what to put in their gas tank, how to light their house, who to get their healthcare from, or to follow blindly a Chicago hack politician who's past we really do not know much about at all....We do now!

Let's make Obama past tense, and he and Jimmy Carter can travel arm and arm around the world telling the foreigners and fellow travelers who worship them that they really were great presidents, and that the American people were just too dumb to realize it...

Call me stupid then, let me call them both failed first termers!
