Right In Florida

Motto: This is what happens when Insanity and Banality come together.

Name:
Location: North Central Florida, United States

I'm an aging boomer, white male (cue scary music); not religious, mostly conservative. Married to the same woman forever. No kids-by choice (I believe in personal choice in most areas of life). Voted mostly Republican until November 2000 when the national Democrats tried to steal the election in Florida. I promised to never again vote for another Democrat; kept that promise to date.

Now This Is Very True

Ross Calloway at The Lunch Counter makes this astute observation:  "Election is over. You're all on probation. The people have spoken. Republicans regained majority control of the House. Question for President Obama is two-fold. Have you heard the voice of the American People? Will you listen to them?"

OMG-That's It! Michelle Malkin - Sing It, Sister!

How's this for ballsy, folks?

"Take Your Olive Branch and Shove It, Democrats!"

So plainly speaketh Michelle Malkin in her article.
Obama’s pal Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida, whom the president hailed as an “outstanding” member of Congress, accused Republicans of wanting elderly people to “die quickly” and of presiding over a “holocaust in America.” Vice President Joe Biden hailed Grayson as a “guy who doesn’t back away from a fight, and doesn’t back down from what he believes in” and told him at a fundraiser: “We owe you one, buddy.” No mention of Grayson’s smear of a female Federal Reserve adviser as a “K Street whore.”

In California, entrenched-incumbent jerk Pete Stark derided immigration-enforcement activists at a town hall by asking: “Who are you going to kill today?” To an elderly constituent who opposed the health-care bill, Stark retorted: “I wouldn’t dignify you by peeing on your leg. It wouldn’t be worth wasting the urine.”

As voters who have been maligned by the ruling majority as stupid, unwashed, racist, selfish, and violent headed to the polls Tuesday, Democrats released “talking points” attacking Republican leaders who “are not willing to compromise.” But “no compromise” is exactly the message that un-American Americans delivered to Washington this campaign season:

No more compromising deals behind closed doors. No more compromising bailouts in times of manufactured crisis. No more compromising conservative principles for D.C. party elites. No more compromising the American economy for left-wing special interests. No more compromising transparency and ethics for bureaucratic self-preservation.

Let us be clear, in case it hasn’t fully sunk into the minds of Obama and the trash-talking Democrats yet: You can take your faux olive branch and shove it. Thank you.
I've said it before, conservative women have bigger balls than any 4 Democrat males.

OMG-That's It! Why I Vote Republican

I've explained my voting methodology which has arisen since the Dems tried to steal Florida in 2000, partly by trying to disallow military votes.  (Yeah, some things never change.)

I was reading this article (Why I Now Vote Party, Not Individual) by Dennis Prager and he makes several good points (as usual), a couple of which made me say "OMG-That's  It!"
There is an American tradition of voting not for the party, but “for the man.” Unlike Europeans, who are more ideologically driven, Americans have prided themselves in assessing individuals of both parties, and then voting for the more personally impressive candidate. The European parliamentary system of government fosters ideological voting; the American political system does so to a much lesser degree. With only two parties competing in American elections, each party has had to encompass a much wider spectrum of ideologies.
This is no longer the case. For better or for worse, the notion of voting for the candidate rather than the party is now mostly naïve idealism. The Democratic party is now fully left-wing, and is simply the American version of a European social-democratic party. It is the party of ever-expanding government. (The Republican party, in contrast, is — at long last — the party of small government.) There are two reasons for one to vote Democratic: either one is a leftist, or one has come to believe the Left’s demonization of its opponents as SIXHIRB (Sexist, Intolerant, Xenophobic, Homophobic, Islamophobic, Racist, Bigoted).
Oh, yes, there is third reason that Americans vote Democratic: More and more Americans are employed by the government, and more and more Americans receive significant material benefits from it. So one does not have to have left-wing values or believe in the demonization of conservatives to vote Democratic. All one has to do is vote according to where one’s livelihood comes from.

OMG-That's It! The Obama "Concession"

Just watched excerpts of Obama's speech today in which he concedes some responsibility for some Democrat losses. He "takes responsibility" but I don't think he means it. He seems to think if he says something that America will believe it.

Well that reminded me of something that I was going to post many weeks ago under a new title for future posts:  OMG-That’s It!  But I never got around to it. So I think I'll do it now.
Yes, this little post at the NRO’s ‘The Corner’ tells it exactly as it is. (note: no longer links)  Peter Kirsanow is so spot on, I almost choked to read such a succinct statement on   Obama has bothered me from the beginning. The post is “Obama vs. America” and few truer words have been written.  The following is the first and last paragraph:

President Obama’s statements regarding the proposed Ground Zero mosque are the latest in a series of indicators that we are at a very peculiar pass: We have a president who doesn’t get America. For the first time in history we have a president whose default setting is in opposition to the general sensibilities of the American people. His behavior too frequently suggests that he’s playing a cosmic joke on Americans’ essential decency, considered patriotism, and belief in American exceptionalism.
*************************
But perhaps most emblematic of Obama’s self-identification was his proud declaration, before a vast crowd in Berlin, that he is a “citizen of the world.” Most Americans believe that that world would be a much darker place without the United States of America. And they would be pleased if their president could express that belief without being patronizing, self-referential, or defensive.
But to do so, it’s helpful to get America and Americans.
And that says so much....Obama doesn't get America.

Also a good sign

It's rained here in Marion County for the first time in 5 weeks. 

Refreshing.

Cleansing.

And fits perfectly with the whole 'let's get rid of the scum (eg, Crist, Grayson)' vibe that's happening tonight.

Oh, and by the way

Goodbye Charlie!  Take your suntan spray and leave. Maybe you can now become that Democrat you always were.

Goodbye Alan Grayson!! Please let the door hit you in your ass on your way out.

And Welcome to Marco!!

Wow...Way to go Marion County

It seems my little old county went Republican all the way.

Even at the local level, every identifiable Democrat lost. I thought there was an outside chance that another Democrat would join the only other Dem on the county commission. Instead, the current Dem commissioner lost...big....in a 4 way contest that pitted 2 right of center candidates against the Republican.  The Repub won handily. 

Boy, was I wrong. But...I'm not sorry.

Well, the deed is done

I've cast my votes and ready to take the consequences.

I voted for no Democrats, and it was kinda hard to vote for a couple of Republicans.  But I did it. No 3rd parties for me, thank you. I've wasted votes in the past....but no more.

In the primary, I vote for the conservative. In the general, I vote for the Republican.

Usually these are the same. But not always.

Case in point...Gov Suntan. Voted for him as gov 4 years ago but only because he wasn't the Democrat.  Fortunately, it was much easier this year.  I was able to vote against the Democrat and the Dem wannabe. I really hope I don't see his name on any future ballots. And especially hope not to read that he's our new senator.

I was very pleased to vote against Rep. Grayson (the scumbag) and at the same time vote for a decent man, Dan Webster, to replace him. It's up to the putzes in Orlando if he gets returned to congress.

I'm hopeful, but probably the best I was able to do was counter one fraudulent Dem vote. But maybe that will be enough.
