Can politicians still be "honest" with people when things aren't good and win?

[Mordecai]

It is plainly obvious for all to see from the 2012 election that honesty about one's beliefs does not win presidential elections and that playing off of people's stupidity is still not enough to get you over line (it only gets you 47% of the way there). As a guy with a brain in his head it was refreshing to me to hear Romney name names and drop all pretext of caring about anybody who earns less than $400,000 a year. I only wish he had gone further in his comments, particularly against the women, the blacks, the Hispanics, the gays, and old people, but I'll take what I can get.

Unfortunately, Americans once again voted for B. Hussein Obama's Afro-socialism.

Like FDR before him, Obama has presided over a depression. January 2009, Obama stepped into the Oval Office and 750,000 jobs were gone forever. By March, 5 million jobs had been lost, umemployment had jumped to 8.5% and the Obama Depression had set in. It is clear that from these past five years that Afro-socialism just does not work.

But there is a solution and it is simple. If you have a brain in your head.

1. Cut the top tax brackets for job creators by 20%.
2. Close loopholes (e.g. mortgage interest deduction).
3. Eliminate funding for PBS.
4. Liquidate Big Bird and Jim Lehrer.
5. Eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood.
6. Give Medicare and Social Security to Wall Street.
7. Increase Defense spending (horses and bayonets).
8. Repeal Obamacare.

Done. Balanced budget. No more deficit. Great economy. No more socialism. Middle class is safe forever.
