The shame of the party out of power

By this time, most Americans, all but the 30 or 35% who sell their vote for “peanuts and promises”, know that Mr. Obama is an empty suit.  Our former allies learned this during his first four years in office.  Our enemies all cashing in on this simple fact.

So why is the party out of power (POOP) – the republicans, the GOP, the so-called conservatives still muddling along, hoping for a midterm win but not sure of it?  Why have they been out of power more than in power?

Well the pundits tell you it’s because black Americans double their voting power by voting 90+ percent always for democrats.  And that Latino Americans give the party in power (PIP) 60, 70% of their vote consistently for PIP which increases their voice also.  And then the white gals come along and top off PIP’s slim majorities with 40 or 50% of their voting power.

We don’t think that’s the reason at all.

We think POOP simply does not have leadership – quality leadership – coupled with a consistent message that is not knee-jerk reactionary nonsense to whatever PIP and its strong media following wishes to spend time on.

For example.  PIP says POOP is running a war on women.  Now will some PIP voters say – you betcha – POOP just wants to keep us barefoot and pregnant!  Which is really quite funny when you think of it.  Under PIP and POOP women have done pretty well over the past 30, 40 years which is simply proof that PIP and POOP had nothing to do with it.  But for the last 5, 10 years women have not done well at all unless you think big leaps forward in getting food stamps and earned income tax credits and all sorts of other handouts and welfare program goodies is doing well.  Women are scared.  They too have big college loans to repay; they too see their kids without good job prospects; they too are experiencing declining paychecks unless they have a union government job and they too see the bumbling immaturity of the president; the congress; the judiciary and all the agencies such as VA, IRS, CDC, Immigration and on and on messing up visibly every day.

But who can they turn to?  Mitch McConnell?  John Boehner?  Mitt Romney?  Ted Cruz?  Rick Santorum?  Rand Paul?

It’s laughable to list them.  Not one of them offers an adult, experienced version of leadership or a plan.  No man with a plan and women like men with plans.  So do black Americans and Latino Americans.

Everyone likes a man with a plan.

And whether you like it or not, that man with a plan had better have some grey hair; some non political experience; either business or military; some successes that are not hot air or David Axelrod produced propaganda nonsense and the ability to deliver a good speech; a good message; but mostly a believable ability to hold ones attention and muster some consistent support.

It is to POOP’s shame that they have not produced such a leader.   A few parrot the message and actually hit upon some basics; some fundamentals.  But not one of them has a plan and the conviction and the messaging to get a wide open electorate to follow them.
