Lessons from the election:
Somebody much smarter then I once remarked that You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
Here locally, we had candidates who decided their way to success was to follow the Obama Formula of either lying about your intent or lying about the impacts.
As I write this, I don't know what the outcomes will be locally. But I know the questions: will The Liar be successful in vaulting himself into office by manufacturing an issue out of whole cloth, lying about it, and then fooling the people into buying into it, and getting an amount equal to 1/3rd of his entire campaign coffer from mysterious New York money to make that happen?
Will those shilling for David Barnett in LaCenter be successful in their pro-casino efforts by following the lie pattern established by the Mayor? Or will the people come to understand that any negotiations of any kind will be done entirely to benefit the organized crime effort that will result in the destruction of LaCenter as the occupants know it?
Will the people of this state simply be overwhelmed by the millions in out of state money and the ad campaign of the "No on I-1033" campaign that has been one big lie from the very beginning in a media effort that would have grossed out Nazi Propaganda Minister Joesph Goebbels in it's breadth and audacity?
Or will they come to understand that our state is incapable of making prudent decisions when it comes to fiscal restraint? Will they come to understand that EVERY prediction that I-1033 will cause "harm" is a lie because the legislature can eliminate the entire initiative on the first day of session if they have a mind to do so?
Will they see past the lies of the "Yes" campaign on R-71 and see the institutional discrimination and outright effort to buy the senior citizen vote with the age-limited civil union bill for heterosexuals?
On the National level, will we finally begin to throw of the yolk of Obamaism? Will the people admit that we made a horrific mistake in electing the empty-suited, anti-American racist bigot?
Will the GOP finally come to understand that it takes much more then an "R" after your name to be a Republican? Will hey finally figure out that mainstreamers like "The Witch of the 23rd," allegedly a Republican but now doing robo-calls for her fellow leftist democrat are NOT in fact, Republicans but are, instead, democrats in a different wrapper?
Will the leaders of the GOP come to understand that "party loyalty" has no place in the mind of the mainstreamer, as illustrated by their many defections to the democrats AFTER mainstreamers were stupid enough to help get them elected? Will they finally get that "a big tent" does NOT equal "blind obedience?"
These represent the questions of interest to me. Not only what happened, but what have they learned?
Stay tuned.
