The Last Train to Pottersville

I don't know how many people I said it to, but I swear it was a million! I don't know how many times I heard a conservative say, "Maybe it's best that McCain loses so the Democrats will fail. We'll win in four." Each time I screamed within: "Are you kidding me?" Then out loud: "I think that we'd be better off with four years of McCain than four years with Obama."

Well, I hate to say it, but I told you so. Conservatives felt betrayed! I know, I'm one of them. But I think I'd deal far better with hurt feelings than with the mess the Obama train is plunging this country into. The unapparent transparent President has conducted his train to "Pottersville" of "It's a Wonderful Life" fame. With the help of Dumb and Dumber (Pelosi and Reid), his train rocketed through the congressional country-side with hardly a stop. No one knows what's on this train... there are over a thousand cars... and you and I are left paying for the trip.

All along this journey, Obama has made conservatives and Republicans look like the bad guys. He was the one who reached across the isle. He took the high road and offered cabinet positions to Republicans. He is the one who took a stand for Main Street Americans.

You know, Obama did finally point out that he's also the one... who won! That's right... that's what he said. He pointed out to Republicans that he is the one who won the election. I guess that makes his word unapproachable. Mr. Obama can't be challenged. He's not just above the law, he is the law. Well, I'm sorry, but that's not now things work. We need to remember that 47% of Americans did not vote for Mr. Obama.

Notice something else Mr. Obama said:

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done. There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats. We shouldn't let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done."

Republicans are guilty of partisan politics because they listen to Rush Limbaugh. I wonder what it is when Democrats blindly listen to Mr. Obama? Mr. Obama wants Republicans and Democrats to set aside partisan politics and work together. By the way Democrats rushed the unstimulating "Stimulus Package" through their congressional fairyland; I'm beginning to understand just what Mr. Obama means by non-partisan. Repbulicans (like Snow and Spector) become non-partisans when they come to Obama's socialist table and eat, drink, and be merry.

That's right... we need another party--just like the Democratic Party. Of course, a one party system! That's genius Mr. Obama. That's sure to send the country even more swiftly to Pottersville. Gosh, if I hurry, maybe I can get one of those run down shacks in Potter's field!
