 Reagan
is Smiling
Optimism wins...
[Laura Ingraham] 11/4/04
One
of the most absurd theories being peddled to explain the
victory of George W. Bush is that John Kerry "didn't have the
charisma" needed to sell his vision to the people. Charisma
was the least of Kerry's problems. Other Democratic strategists
(the same ones who predicted a huge pro-Kerry youth vote)
are scratching their heads over the Bush victory. They say
they
understand that voters think values are important. But, remember,
the Kerry/Pelosi/Schumer Democratic Party still thinks their
values are squarely in the mainstream!
Let
this be clear: this election is a reaffirmation of Ronald Reagan--his
hopefulness, his vision, and his adherence to the conservative
values that rescued the Republican Party from its political
exile. After the celebrating, President Bush must get down
to the hard work of achieving conservative goals. Doing this
will expand the Republican majority not shrink it. As we beat
back the terror threat around the globe, President Bush needs
to offer further support for the culture of life, advance meaningful
tax reform, and enforce our national borders for cultural and
security reasons.
Over
the past year, we saw the political left throw everything it
had against President Bush--ginned up talk of a military draft,
lies about what happened at Tora Bora, phony National Guard
documents, even blame for flu shot shortages. The elites in
the "old media", academia, Hollywood, the Soros'
billionaires club, and the EU were all pushing for John Kerry
all the way. With all this, the Democrats still couldn't win.
James Carville conceded that "the party needs to reassess
where it is....They're going to asking themselves from tough
questions."
In
Shut Up & Sing, I wrote about the dynamic that we saw play
in this election--the elites versus Americans. In the end,
the latter will always win out. They find inspiration in Al
Franken. We find inspiration in Tommy Franks. They admire Michael
Moore. We admire Mel Gibson. We believe in partial privatization
of Social Security. They believe in partial birth abortion.
They think: "In Kofi we Trust." We think "In
God We Trust." They pray for an opening at Spago. We pray
for an opening in Heaven.
TIME magazine's "Person
of the Year" should be "The
Voters." They spoke. Are the elites listening? tOR
