JUST DO…Nothing

A Blog Entry by Tom Young

The newest Rasmussen poll out on Friday, August 14th, 2009 has me scratching my head. The Republicans have been doing little or nothing since Obama was elected. Other than some rogue Governors running around with mistresses, they have been as quiet as a mouse. Ah, you might hear a mis-quoted peep in the MSM, or some crude humor about Sarah Palin, but with a filibuster proof Senate and a majority in Congress…and the Executive Branch…you would think the Democrats would have fixed everything by now.

To listen to the news and watch the stock market, you would think Obama and his team have fixed the economy, saved 5 billion jobs, and brought America together again. They have beer fests, and staged Town Hall events…and label the opposition as Nazi’s and Terrorists. Everything should be going their way…

But it isn’t…and I can’t figure out why. Maybe Americans are beginning to get to know more about Obama. Maybe they are seeing Chicago-style corruption taking place on a national level. Maybe they are seeing that “stimulus-into-debt” isn’t working, and may in fact have been a bad idea. Maybe they don’t like their Congress passing bills they admit to having never read. Maybe the REJECT the idea of Universal Health Care, Nationalized Medicine, National Health Insurance (whatever the DNC is calling it…). Maybe they don’t think punishing energy companies because of global warming is a sound idea.

Maybe it is all of the above.

Rasmussen polling now shows Republicans are favored in Health Care, The Economy, Education, National Security, Abortion, Social Security, Taxes, and Immigration.

What has the Republican Party done to cause the numbers to swing into their direction? Nothing. Maybe that was the plan all along…just put the Democrats in charge, and then get out of their way – they will surely screw things up. I have my doubts that there was such a ‘master plan’ in place…but if there was, it was not genius in the concept, anyone could have figured it out. It was the mastery of the execution that I applaud.

Do nothing, and still win. Pure luck or pure genius ?? You decide.
