Republicans win Governor elections in Virginia and New Jersey.

by James Buchanan

The liberal media has been force-feeding us propaganda that the economy is in a “recovery” for months now. There’s just one little problem: Most people are smarter than that. They see all the closed stores, and they know that their friends are being laid off one-by-one, and that there are empty, foreclosed houses up and down the street where they live.

With this persistent economic gloom and the threat of socialized health care hovering over America, voters decided to kick out two Democrat governors this week. One news story reports “Independents who swept Barack Obama to a historic 2008 victory broke big for Republicans on Tuesday as the GOP wrested political control from Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey, a troubling sign for the president and his party heading into an important midterm election year. Conservative Republican Bob McDonnell’s victory in the Virginia governor’s race over Democrat R. Creigh Deeds and moderate Republican Chris Christie’s ouster of unpopular New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine was a double-barreled triumph for a party looking to rebuild after being booted from power in national elections in 2006 and 2008. Elsewhere on Tuesday, Maine voters rejected a state law that would allow same-sex couples to wed. If supporters had prevailed, it would have marked the first time that the electorate in any state endorsed gay marriage.”

Obama’s stimulus and bail out efforts have merely thrown away a couple trillion dollars with no significant effect. 115 banks have failed in 2009 with 16 bank failures in the last two weeks. Add to all this, the fifth largest bankruptcy in US history as last minute efforts to save CIT Group have failed. Meanwhile, there really isn’t any booming sector of the economy that would give any Americans confidence that things are getting better.

Add to this, Obama’s continued efforts to force socialized medicine on America. Most people are concerned that a government health care system will boost taxes and put additional strain on businesses, that are already hurting. Obama seems to be determined to keep pushing socialized medicine, repeating the same mistake the Clintons made in 1993 that led to the Democrats losing their majorities in the House and Senate.

While it’s true that governors don’t play a role in the federal government, these election results are a very clear display of voter dissatisfaction with the Democrats and Obama. It’s not clear if America will continue to slowly sink into a Depression or if some spectacular economic collapse may take place in the next year. In either event, 2010 will likely be a disaster for the Democrats. It’s just too bad that the Republicans don’t put the interests of patriotic White Americans before the interests of the Israeli lobby and corrupt corporations. While the Republicans may slow down the march to Socialism and turning American into a Third World country, we need a third party that will REVERSE these trends.
