By Marc Chamot

During desperate moves to save Democrats, before the Midterms, President Obama tried to pin America’s economical woes on Republicans. 

After the Midterm elections, Obama and his Democratic cohorts realized the people did not fall for such nonsense. In essence the VOTERS have spoken and soundly rejected, the failed Democratic policies of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Republicans through Representative Fred Upton, have clear mandates to cut the size of government, deal with out of control public employees unions and their pensions, reducing wasteful spending and reverse years, of costly job killings regulations that were enacted by BOTH parties in the past.

Fred Upton says, they will be different and they will listen to Americans. This is something the Nancy Pelosi Democrats promised to do, since 2006 and on to 2008, but never delivered. Under the new leadership of Speaker Mr. John Boehner, Republicans will do both.

Repealing of disastrous Obamacare is at the forefront in most people’s minds. House Republicans will take the legislative approach that involves direct inputs from Americans, via letters, blogs or by POLLS!

The government’s ignoring and progressive “knows best” policies of former President George Bush, Obama and Nancy Pelosi ends now. Gone are those 2,000 pages of bills, written at night and in secret, without congressional and public inputs.

But I expect more from Republicans this time. I want to see term limits and they’ve got to get bolder with China, among other things, besides securing the border with Mexico and getting tougher on rampant illegal immigrations.

You see folks, this is exactly what Nancy Pelosi and Democrats promised before their 2006 congressional takeovers, but they DIDN’T deliver! Hopefully these Republicans can and shall deliver, because there is plenty of time for Democrats to get their houses back in order, if these crops of Republicans FAIL to deliver!  

After Democrat’s Midterms drubbings, President Obama is no longer bringing up Republicans, as being the fault for all the nation’s economical problems. Now, President Obama is talking the bi-partisanships, those that were missing during the past two years, while pushing for absolute lunatic left-wing agendas.

Is it a little too late for Obama? As retiring senator Evan Bayh said, “The difference was today, he’s speaking like a president.”  

However, this is all a very harsh lesson for Obama. Barack Hussein Obama was so bruised and bloodied, that his prospect for re-election in 2012 is pretty dim. 

According to McClatchy Newspapers and Marist poll, half of his base, 45 percent of Democrats and Democratic Independents, want to see a Democratic challenger to Obama. More than one in three voters, 36% say they’ll vote for him again, while 48% say no, and not again.

President Obama has become a serious electoral jeopardy for Democrats; Obama’s entering his second half of his term, with approval ratings of 45 and 48% disapprovals. 41% of Democrats want Obama challenged in 2012, along with 56% of Independents.

Those who want him challenged, many are women voters younger than 45 and without college degrees. And those who don’t want him challenged are majorities of pro-Democratic Kool-Aid drinkers, liberal men, and college graduates 45 and older. 
Why I’m not surprised?  “What good is a college education to a "LIBERAL MORON," when he’s still a moron after he graduates?” Those college Kool-Aid drinkers don’t even read my blog.

A sign of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. Since the defeat of RINO’s (Republicans in Name Only) and conservative Blue Dog Democrats, a new political organization is being formed to take up the slack.

“An alliance of centrist Republicans and Democrats is seeking to organize a grass-roots movement targeting the middle of American politics, a political sphere depopulated by the midterm elections and a vital tool for any potential third-party presidential candidate.

The group's goal is to start a centrist equivalent to the tea-party movement on the right and MoveOn on the left. It sees an opportunity based on the defeat of liberal Republicans in recent years and the heavy losses taken by conservative Democrats in 2010.”

More on Aiming for the Political Middle "The group, called "No Labels," has drawn support from supporters and advisers of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the country's most powerful independent politician, raising questions about his national political ambitions. Mr. Bloomberg has been invited to attend the group's Dec. 13 launch.

Political analysts see a potential Bloomberg bid if Washington's divided government turns into gridlock, if the economy doesn't improve, and if former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and President Obama are the likely nominees. Mr. Bloomberg said he wouldn't consider running in 2012. "I have the best job in the world," he said.

No Labels (www.nolabels.org) is led by Democratic fund-raiser Nancy Jacobson and Republican strategist Mark McKinnon, who were introduced to each other by Kevin Sheekey, Mr. Bloomberg's political adviser.

"I've never seen such a wide opening for a third force in American politics," says William Galston, a Brookings Institution fellow and No Labels adviser.

Third-party movements of the center, including most recently Unity '08, have a poor track record if they aren't associated with a strong candidate, such as Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 or Ross Perot in the 1990s. Even then, no third-party candidate has ever won more than 27% of the popular vote.

"Kumbaya moments and puppies are great, but you need more meat to get real support," said Peter Angerhofer, an executive at a hospital-billing firm and recent Republican candidate for the New Hampshire state senate at a recent No Labels gathering. "If you want to create a third party and carve out the middle that might work, but be clear about it."

But for a potential third-party candidate, who has to overcome a litany of structural impediments, such groups can provide much-needed ground operations. "These efforts aren't important; they're invaluable" if Mr. Bloomberg decides to run, said a top Bloomberg adviser.

Mr. Bloomberg personally donated to a successful ballot measure in California to change the process of Congressional redistricting to prevent gerrymandering.

Through the deputy mayor, Howard Wolfson, Mr. Bloomberg quoted his predecessor Fiorello La Guardia as saying "there's no Democratic or Republican way to clean up the streets," adding, "The same is true on a lot of other big issues, but partisan gamesmanship keeps the two parties from working together."

No Labels founder Ms. Jacobson says the group has purposely not asked Mr. Bloomberg for money and doesn't support any candidates yet.

No Labels is testing its message across the country, most recently in New Hampshire last week. In a living room full of politically active citizens in Portsmouth, No Labels' organizer John Avlon, an expert on independent parties, called it, "a rebellious idea for the politically homeless."

For its launch in New York City next month, more than 1,000 people have committed from 50 states.

Key to the group's future success is appealing to voters and lawmakers who feel alienated from the current tone of political discourse. In a recent meeting in Portsmouth, prospective "citizen leaders" were training on how to organize No Labels in their home districts.

"Hi, I'm Jun Choi, and I lost because I wasn't extreme enough," said the Democratic ex-mayor of Edison, N.J., who was opposed by unions in a primary.

"Hi, I'm Maggie Hassan, and was defeated because I was too moderate," said the New Hampshire state senator.

Darnell Goldson, a New Haven, Conn. alderman, said his house was egged for having yard signs supporting one Democrat and one Republican. "I didn't toe either party line, and got threatened."

Why it will NOT work. On paper, this all seems a great idea, but the problem, where are they going to be on divisive issues, like Cap and Trades, on jobs killing carbon emissions, border security, cutting back on legal immigrations and getting tougher on illegal immigrations?

“The group has raised more than $1 million to seed its effort against what it calls "hyper-partisanship." Backers include co-chairman of Loews Corp. Andrew Tisch, Panera Bread founder Ron Shaich and ex-Facebook executive Dave Morin. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, as well as U.S. senators Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut and Michigan's Debbie Stabenow, will attend the New York launch.”

Those folks they are seeking will all REVERT to plan B, go back to Democrats and Republicans, to fit their tastes and that is a BIG FACT. 


Knowing everything I know about Michael Bloomberg, and most of those organizing this new political group, they are on the WRONG side of MY fences, on those very issues that I find extremely important. That’s how I know, this plan will not work out for them, it didn’t for Republican RINO’s nor the Blue Dogs.
