Clinton Takes Texas and Ohio - Elephants on Charge!

Interesting day. Clinton pulled off nearly all states in the second largest primary for the 2008 election year. But more interesting and even sad is the fact that the media is so up in arms that the Republicans, Conservatives and specifically Rush Limbaugh had an impact on the primary - effectively disrupting their new star's rise to the White House. They have cried fowl all day because Conservative talk shows and Republicans effectively stepped across the aisle and voted for Clinton.

What is funny in all this - I subscribe to the obvious thought about how the Democrats crossed over and voted for McCain. Same reasoning - and it was not to see him in the White House in the fall. Yet the liberal media cannot stand it when anyone else uses their tactics to effectively disrupt their plan.

Regardless of your thoughts about Rush, you gotta admit - especially if you call yourself conservative - he has good thoughts, plans and points. He also received tons of quality free advertisement today in the media.

Fact is, and I have stated this in my blog several times - the Republicans have wasted 8 yrs. They screwed up on their mandate. They screwed up on acting credibly and confidently - so now we appear weak, undecided, divided and without direction. We appear to be satisfied with the status quo or what will be the status quo....but we should have groomed a better candidate.

But really, this is not not even an original idea - I do not think. Rush has stated again today that the Republicans have got to fight - and where is our fight? Why will we not fight? What will it take for us to fight? We must get over the fact that we do not have "the candidate we want" or that "Bush screwed up." Get over it!! Now, let's get behind McCain - there is too much at stake. We can voice what we want to see happen and be "the people" that will direct policy.

We must fight. The glimmer of fight started yesterday at the voting booths. Clinton is still in the race and closed the gap of delegates. Pennsylvania is next. Let us keep the ball rolling. With a fight, we can see the White House. We can then voice the American desire to be strong globally, in defense, in capital, we can state our desire to tighten the borders. We can make strides to correct problems within our healthcare - it is a huge issue. But we do not want - no matter what the media says - government controlled healthcare.

Keep the fight. Gain knowledge. Spread the word.

Next up: what about Obama's weak stance on NAFTA? Likely, this heavily influenced voters in Ohio. Of course, Clinton threw the heavy artillery towards this - yet, Mr. Clinton signed it into existence....and Bush One, sent it to Senate.....
