A stunning Right Win Victory!

Maybe one day, here…please!

Oh look, he’s a fiscon who wants to enforce the laws already on the books. Maybe a little personal liberty, smaller government, and state’s rights as well? A Coalition, yes that’s right, a coalition of the Right just handed the left a defeat that will keep them out of power for at least 10 years. They said he couldn’t connect with women, he called global warming “crap’, and he extolled the virtues of capitalism…and won in a landslide. Whooda thunk it ?

 

Tony Abbott to be new Australian prime minister after ‘landslide win’

Conservative leader Tony Abbott has celebrated a landslide victory in Australia’s general election, after reducing the Labour Party to its worst result in a century with promises of tough action against immigrants and scrapping a tax on carbon emissions.

The 55-year-old British-born former student boxer was long regarded as unelectable even by some of his own ranks and struggled to connect with voters, particularly women, thanks to sometimes abrasive style.

But he steered the Liberal-National coalition back to power after six years in opposition amid widespread disillusion with years of infighting in the ruling party.

Mr Abbott led four years of blistering attacks on Labour, deploying effective three-word slogans such as “great big tax” and “stop the boats” to target the government’s carbon tax, mining tax and its softer stance on asylum seekers. He has pledged to reduce foreign aid, to pay rewards to young unemployed people who find work and plans to travel to an Aboriginal community for a week each year to govern from the outback.

 

Abbott: I pledge myself to the service of this country

The Coalition has been swept to a convincing election victory in a result that could keep Labor in the political wilderness for a decade, with incoming prime minister Tony Abbott declaring the country is “under new management”.

ALP seats fell across the country on Saturday, ensuring Tony Abbott will be the 28th prime minister of Australia and have a commanding majority, holding up to 90 seats in the 150 seats in the House of Representatives.

From today I declare that Australia is under new management.

Mr Abbott said he would methodically deliver on his promises with a government that accepts it will be judged more by its deeds than its words.

Americans give Republicans edge over Democrats on major issues

Just 2 years ago, Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats where swept in a landslide.  Americans at the time rejected the Bush/McCain Compassionate Conservatism, which was Progressivism with a Conservative face. The Progressive Movement was riding high and now in one of the biggest changes in American politics, it’s on the verge of collapse. On almost every major issue, the Republicans are leading Democrats for the first time in years in the  Gallup poll.

PRINCETON, NJ — A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds Americans saying the Republicans in Congress would do a better job than the Democrats in Congress of handling seven of nine key election issues. The parties are essentially tied on healthcare, with the environment being the lone Democratic strength.

Read the rest: Americans Give GOP Edge on Most Election Issues

Clearly the Republicans have the advantage and this finding confirms a similar one done by Rasmussen. The issue driving people towards the GOP is the Economy. This same poll shows the Economy is voters #1 concern.

The economy the issue that Americans care about. It’s about jobs, financial security and money in people’s pocket. The Republicans should hammer the Democrats on the economy from now towards election days. As James Carville said “It’s the economy stupid” and he was right. Now let’s use it as a club to clobber the Progressives. This issue in conjunction with the Progressives and their  collaboration with Islamic Imperialists over the 9/11 Ground Zero Mosque is what will lead our side the victory.

If the Republican do get power, they must never again govern as Progressives. If they go leftists and appeasing Islamic Colonialists like they did under the Bush years, then a new Conservative party will emerge. They are being given another chance, they better not blow it!

Update: What gives hope for the GOP this time around are the young guns like Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan. They are aggressive and demolished Barack Hussein Obama at the Health Care debate.

Washington’s chattering class zeroed in Tuesday on a potential but still nonexistent leadership battle between House Minority Leader John Boehner and Minority Whip Eric Cantor after members of the press received their advance copies of the latter’s new book, “Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders.” While the book may indeed elevate Cantor, who co-authored the book with Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, its title couldn’t make its purpose any clearer – the trio sets out to prove that there’s a new Republican Party emerging that’s younger, bolder and more diverse.

Boehner has given two major policy addresses in as many weeks to go toe to toe with President Obama as he sets the stage for a possible speakership that would make him his party’s official foil to the Democratic commander in chief. On Tuesday, Boehner addressed the 92nd American Legion National Convention in Milwaukee about the end of combat operations in Iraqas a precursor to Obama’s speech later in the evening. At the same time, about a dozen reporters in the Beltway had just finished combing through Young Guns and found only limited references to Boehner and took that to mean the Ohioan is on the outs.

But the book is less a preview of a leadership battle as it is a forced rebirth.

Personally I hope Eric Cantor challenges John Boehner for the Speaker position, should Republicans win the House. Boehner is an elitis Progressive Republican who needs to get out the way. Imagine House Speaker Eric Cantor and Majority leaders Paul Ryan! Barack Hussein Obama would have nightmares over that one!

Update III:Political analyst Larry Sabato has the The Republicans winning the house, winning 8-9 in the Senate and 8 governorships.

Let’s keep up the pressure!
