Not Close

Not close, nor should it be.

Often, a presidential election is thought to be the most important of our lifetimes. I thought the Bush-Kerry matchup was due to the importance I placed on, appropriately so, the Global War on Terror.

But make no mistake; this election is the most important since 1860.

President Barack Obama seeks to complete his fundamental transformation of the United States of America and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney seeks to stop his administration and restore America to the foundations and principles, most notably free enterprise, our Founding Fathers set for our course.

As The Drudge Report noted, it is going to be a long and nervy weekend.

 

Back in March, we posted a piece predicting the electoral college after the election would resemble the football stadium at The University of Nebraska; a sea of red. Many people who supported the historic candidacy of Obama are not supporting him again, while nobody who voted for McCain-Palin now thinks Obama is worthy.

Most of the polls say it is very close, but some influential pundits have seen what we saw. Dick Morris says Romney will win in a landslide, although today, due to Hurricane Sandy, Morris felt his feet getting cold. 

Whole Morris shakes more than usual, today, perhaps the most knowledgeable of all the election prognosticators, Michael Barone, says Romney will win handily. Barone knows county voting trends in swing states like college football coaches know recruiting hot beds, and is usually right on target.

Romney should win handily, for America is in very sad shape due to the stewardship of Obama and his anti free market policies and dangerous foreign policy positions. For example, just this week, we got the following:

*a massive coverup regarding the events in Benghazi, where we failed miserably in foreign policy, protecting those charged with doing the business of America and untold lies that have been presented to the American people. The situation gets worse as information continues to drip out.

*an unemployment rate which is no lower than it was the day Obama took office, even with all the tinkering the administration is doing with the real numbers. Plainly stated, significantly less people are fully employed than when Obama took office due to these individuals leaving the work force.

*after presenting himself above partisanship, the lowest level of discourse seen in many of moon, with administration members constantly spewing disrespectful and divisive rhetoric.  Obama's chief consult Valerie Jarret, a communist, has threatened those who did not support Obama, which seems bordering on illegality to me.

*an America scared to death regarding their constitutional rights, including the second amendment.

* a illustration of how government fails in supporting the people as thousands remain without power, food and energy in a cold, disaster stricken northeast even after Obama toured the are and promised sunshine.  One should recall the words of Ronaldus Magnus that government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem.  Unions are impeding problem solving, as usual, and those waiting for the government help are bitterly disappointed.  Tempers are flaring, and rightly so given the failure of delivering energy to those in vital need.

*the collapse of the free market system, expansive entitlements aimed at transforming America from a free market based society to a socialistic society beholden to government distribution of service.

*food stamp usage at record levels, and those who can no longer benefit from food stamps claim disability, and gather entitlement benefits in this regard.  A culture of dependency is being created by Obama.

BAHL Revere could go on for days with the horrendous news of the state of America.  There is no doubt, that unless your family benefits from the crony capitalism implemented by the Obama administration, your standard of living has fallen dramatically in the last four years.

We must regain control of America, or we may be launched into a thousand years of darkness, an existence under government control robbing individuals of their identity, curtailing opportunities for free market expression and capitalistic economic growth.

America has had enough, and as Michael Barone points out, we are poised to thwart to socialist movement.  However, we must remain committed to victory.  We must hit the polls with our hair on fire to cast a ballot for those who aim to Restore America.

Given the destruction of America over the last four years, this is an easy decision. We must cast our ballot for Mitt Romney, and Restore America!

Mitt Romney
