Elections Have Consequences
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

It is less than a year to Election Day 2012. By now, we should all know that elections have consequences. We are all suffering as a result of the consequences wrought by turning the entire US government over to the democrats beginning as far back as 2007. We very nearly lost our country … and the danger isn’t over yet.

Over the next few months, we are going to see the Mainstream Media in America pull out all the stops as they run interference for President Obamaz and the Democrats. It will become increasingly difficult to dig through the layers of bovine scatology the MsM will pile up to camouflage the damage the Obama administration has done to America. They will make every effort to destroy the republican candidates – and -- when the GOP nominee is decided, expect the MsM to tear him to shreds.

Already, Obama is declaring how he needs another term to finish the job. I agree. One more term of Obama and America WILL BE FINISHED.

It appears that Obama is planning on a “Blame it on Bush” themed campaign. Don’t expect “The One” to take responsibility for anything! Our fearless “Bystander-in-Chief” will happily take the credit -- but never the responsibility or the blame. He’s just that kind of guy.

Over the next few months the Republicans will be blamed for everything that has happened to America under the Obama administration. But before you buy into all the leftist propaganda we suggest you consider the article below, which has been floating around the web.

I have no idea who authored the article below but it IS interesting. Please read on:

Remember January 3, 2007


The day the Democrats took over was not January 22, 2009 when Obama took office with Democratic control of both house of Congress. It was actually January 3, 2007 the day Democrats gained control over the House of Representatives and the Senate. The infamous start of the 110th Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is the Conservatives or Bush’s fault, think about this:

January 3, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.
At the time:


The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77


The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%


The Unemployment rate was 4.6%


George Bush’sz Economic policies had just set a record of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION after orchestrating a recovery of a mild recession he inherited from the aftermath of the Clinton era!


Remember the day… January 3, 2007


It was the day that Barney Frankz took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Doddz took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

Remember, the Community Reinvestment Act they sponsored? You can thank Congress for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment to this CRISIS by dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fiasco’s!

(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie – starting in 2001, because it was financially risky for the U.S. economy, but no one was listening).


And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? Then Senator Obama.


And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? Obama and the Democratic Congress.

REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007…. “THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!”

Bush may have been in the car, but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal, the steering wheel and they were driving. Set the record straight on Bush!

So, as you listen to all the commercials and media from the Democrats who are now distancing themselves from their voting record and their party, remember how they didn’t listen to you when you said you didn’t want all the bailouts, you didn’t want the health care bill, you didn’t want cap and trade, you didn’t want them to continue spending money we don’t have.

I’m not forgetting their complicity in getting us into this mess, and I’ll be marking my vote accordingly!

“It’s not that liberals aren’t smart, it’s just that so much of what they know isn’t so” -Ronald Reagan

Every election is important. But I cannot think of a single election in my lifetime of over seven decades that was as important to America as the election in November of 2012.

As we stand on the cusp of a global financial collapse America will need a leader, indeed, the WORLD will need a leader not afraid to lead from the front. What America does not need is another four years of Obama.
