the decision will be a rallying cry for the GOP
In order to win the day, Republicans need to stay informed, educate others (particularly the young), and vote. More than anything, each person has to “FIND YOUR VOICE.” No, not everybody True Religion Jeans can deliver a speech or write an article, but each person has to find a way to let their opinions be known, such as:
* Attending meetings to discuss issues, at all levels of government and for both parties.
* Read and research, challenge and publish the facts.
* Network and talk to young people.
* Attend rallies, host meetings.
* Write letters to the editor on-line.
Where Democratic Congressmen will try to divorce themselves from the president’s record, Obama will try to ride their coattails back into office. This is to be encouraged. The more we can tie the Democrats to the president and his failed policies, the more likely they will lose the election.
As this election year progresses I have on more than one occasion heard Republican friends lament, “I’m scared; I’m starting to believe Obama will get voted back into office for another term.”
Such comments are more indicative of the vicious GOP campaign thus far as opposed to President Obama’s leadership. I counter by reminding them of three things:
1. The Supreme Court’s review of Obamacare on March 28th-29th. Regardless of the decision to uphold or reject it, the decision will be a rallying cry for the GOP.
2. We are all facing a summer of high gasoline prices which will not endear the president to the American taxpayer.
3. The turmoil in the Middle East is a liability to the president, particularly if more violence erupts thereby affecting our fragile economy. He will likely be blamed for a weak and reckless foreign policy.
The November election is not True Religion UK about a fabricated “War on Women,” Rush Limbaugh, a candidate’s gaffe, or political correctness. These subjects are nothing more than deceptive distractions. In reality, it’s about the economy, unemployment, energy, and foreign policy. You are admonished to stay focused on the real issues of this campaign.
Republicans must always be mindful the 2012 election is not about facts and figures, but “mind share.” In other words, controlling the perceptions of people and creating the illusion as to who our leaders should be. If it were as simple as just interpreting facts and figures, President Obama would have been driven out of office already.
