The Presidency
In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Sunday, Nov. 24, 2012
Preface: Here’s a perspective (Nov. 15/12) by William J. Murray # 1 of 2 which pro-life & marriage advocates need to study. Murray is Chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition - (202) 742-8990
“I am sure that Mitt Romney loves this nation and he is an honorable man, but no one can win a national election on one issue. Romney talked only about economic issues. For months he campaigned on the fact that he would lower taxes and create jobs.
“Problem one: Only one out two households in the U.S. pays income taxes. A promise to lower the taxes of those who pay not taxes at all does not resonate. A few weeks before the election, Mitt Romney made this 47% remark at a fund raising event, and the media pounced on his “gaff”. It was not a gaff. Romney said that the 47% who paid nothing in and took lots out were not going to vote for him.
“His mistake was in not realizing that many in this group vote Republican for issues other than taxes. The 47% includes millions of very socially conservative seniors who are on social security after a life time of hard work, and who are concerned about the country their children and grandchildren are inheriting. It includes veterans angry about the weakening of our military and the attempt to force the homosexual agenda on our soldiers. It includes hard working couples who don’t make enough to pay taxes, but who care about the country’s moral collapse and the drift toward welfare dependency. Romney had virtually nothing to say about religious freedom, abortion, same-sex marriage, fighting the war on drugs, stopping illegal immigrants, or any social issue.
“Romney’s single issue “lower taxes and more jobs” strategy was not match for the millions of people who voted for Obama because of “what’s in it for me.” Some feared welfare payments would be cut or unemployment payment reduced by a Republican. Still others voted for Obama because they were promised more union jobs with higher pay. Most Obama voters had no interest in the “fiscal cliff” or the huge deficits, or the declining economic and military power of our nation. They voted for Obama’s race, his image and for their hope of personal gain.
“Barack Hussein Obama received millions of votes from people who have little command of the English language beyond that needed to shop at Walmart, and who have no concept of our form of government. Millions more cast their ballot for Obama for purely racial reasons.
“Blacks, Hispanics, and single mothers were the biggest voting blocks for Obama. What issues concerned these voting blocks? Continued: a) affirmative action in jobs and education for blacks and Hispanics, b) welfare payments without work, c) years of unemployment payments d) free medical services for children under the SCHIP program, e) free lunch programs at schools; Continued free day care services, f) expansion of the Food Stamp program, g) massive student loans..
“There are also power players who backed Obama and who donated generously to his campaign, but who are not among the takers. Those included various wealthy socialists such as George Soros, trade unions who want card check, various minorities who want special status, plus those who want legalization of same-sex marriage, or legalization of marijuana and other mind altering drugs.
“There was a common theme in issues for those who voted for Obama: “What is in this for me?” or, “what is in it for my agenda? With this single objective in mind, there is no need to understand the Constitution, basic economic principles or dangers of foreign entanglements. Aircraft carriers are not needed to deliver food stamps or welfare checks, so military strength is not an important issue…
George H. Kubeck, Congratulations to Obama! In less than 4 years he temporarily transformed America. It is a roadway to national economic destruction and a suicide of our American identity.
