The Evil Triumvirate

Americans claim they want 'change' in November.

Americans also claim that the present U.S. Congress, which is headed by Democrats in both the Senate and the House, is the most unpopular in American history, with an approval rating of only 9%--20 percentage points lower than George W. Bush.

Yet Americans apparently are not only going to elect the most radical, Leftwing extremist Presidential candidate in U.S. history to the White House, but they are going to increase liberal Democratic majorities in both houses of a Congress that receives their overwhelming opposition and condemnation.

The stark inconsistency of such a position is astounding.

If we can believe the polls, Americans will wake up from their stupor with a hangover on the day after the Election and wonder what on earth they have done.

For there, lying beside them in bed will be the 'evil triumvirate' that they have just given the power to rule the country unchallenged--Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama.

These 3 will have enormous veto-proof power to do essentially anything they want no matter what the opposition--or average Americans--say.

Harry Reid is described by even members of his own Party as by far the most partisan obstructionist Senate Majority Leader the Democrats have ever had.

Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco style politics rubs multi-millions of Americans the wrong way. She has faced enormous opposition from more moderate-to-conservative Democrats in the House.

And Barack Obama is an outright Socialist, once a member of the Communist Party in Chicago.

The 3 will join forces to steamroll the Congress to enact the most sweeping leftwing, anti-Constitutional legislation in the history of the Republic.

Americans as recently as the 2006 midterm elections clearly expressed an aversion to monopolistic rule on the part of one Party in Washington.

Citizens clearly prefer a divided government so that a prudent system of checks and balances can be put into place that provides at least some roadblocks to complete domination by one group.

Yet we are led to believe by polling data that Americans are getting ready to do the exact things they claim to detest--granting unbridled power for one political Party that has presided over the most unpopular Congress in U.S. history, along with electing to the White House yet another Socialist in the tradition of Pelosi and Reid to help them continue with policies the citizens deplore.

How's that for logic?

I have trouble believing this is the 'change' most Americans are bargaining for. And I would be willing to wager it won't take long for Americans to sorely regret their decision.
