It's no coincidence that the Christian Church and the Republican Party have both had great success with a crucial bloc of swing voters-- embittered loner zealots feeling angry and searching for some sort of meaning in their lives (apart from the voices in their heads). Instead, this crucial voting bloc was reached by BOTH the Christian Church and the Republican Party through Sunday morning services to shut-ins on Christian Broadcasting, and a talk radio army of conservatives each trying to raise the ante on patriotism.
It's been a winning combination, capturing several crucial elections and bringing down the Murrah Federal Building, but lately it has lost its lustre. This Obama character is dangerous. None of the typical rhetoric on talk radio is getting any traction, even when the dial is turned up to "11."
Why? What can the Republican Party do to prove that THIS time we're really serious about fiscal responsibility, personal moral character, faith, looking out for the taxpayers, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah? Why don't they just believe us? Sure, baby, we didn't do a good job for the past decade, but I swear to you, cross my heart, this time it will be different.
And voters--- We're sorry for the way we treated you, but you practically made us do it! You've got to believe us that it will never happen again.... look me in the eyes, baby, er, voters.... can't you see how serious we are? Now are you going to put us back in office? Please? Pretty please? Will you let me see that simile that you gave us when you swept us into control of congress back in 1994? Can I see that smile that you gave us when Ronald Reagan whispered, "It's morning in, America, baby...." in you ear? There it is, baby. This time will be different. Trust me.
