Freshman Confgressman Mark Schauer Suffers In Polls From Obamaitis
“A Republican poll shows freshman Rep. Mark Schauer (D-Mich.) down by nine.
The National Research Inc. poll, conducted for former Rep. Tim Walberg’s (R-Mich.) campaign, has Walberg leading Schauer 46-37, and 50-40 with ‘leaners.’

This is of interest to me because Mark Schauer is my US Congressman.
Now, I’m no fan of former US Congressman Tim Walberg who is leading Schauer in the current polls (see
https://ironink.org/index.php?blog=1&title=congressman_walberg_writes_pastor_bret&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
as he doesn’t really believe in strict constitutional restrictions upon the size of the Federal government. But if Walberg is for allowing the Federal Government to get kind of porky Schauer is for allowing the Federal government to get grossly obese. Schauer has voted for the Obama death care legislation and I am of the persuasion that Schauer must pay the price for aligning himself w/ this fascist socialist monstrosity. I also don’t think much of Schauer because he refuses to interact w/ his constituency face to face in live townhall meetings. Schauer has instead avoided the voting public but using controlled phone tele-conferences in order to limit the kind of visible interaction that might cast him in an unfavorable light.
I can not bring myself to vote for Tim Walberg but I won’t have any tears when Mark Schauer is defeated this fall.
Obama Senior Officials Promise That Obama Is Going To Go All Combative
President Barack Obama plans a combative response if, as White House aides fear, Democrats lose Tuesday’s special Senate election in Massachusetts, close advisers say.
“This is not a moment that causes the president or anybody who works for him to express any doubt,” a senior administration official said. “It more reinforces the conviction to fight hard.”

With all my being I hope that B. Hussein Obama follows through on these words. In 1994 when President Clinton was smacked up side the head with the midterm congressional Republican revolution he wised up and dumped his controversial Surgeon General, Jocelyn Elders, and ran to the political middle as was seen in his co-opting the Republicans by stealing some of their issues and claiming them for his own. It was a brilliant political move by Clinton that insured his re-election in 1996. Clinton, learning from the beating he had taken, even said, “The era of big government is over.”
However, if Obama is really intent on being combative and in a mule headed fashion decides to press ahead with his agenda despite a possible Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts it will be like manna falling from heaven for the Republicans. Such a combative attitude in Obama will literally destroy the Democratic party in the mid-term 2010 elections. If Obama refuses to try to include Republican involvement due to a combative turn on his part that combativeness will snap back so hard in 2010 he will be headed towards becoming a one term lame duck president.
It is quite amazing how tone deaf the Democratic party has become. It is almost as if they are living in an alternate universe. Obama promises to be combative. Pelosi promises that regardless of a Brown victory Health Care is going to pass. Barney Frank argues that the Senate should lift its filibuster rules so Health Care legislation will pass. These people are incredible. But let them keep on living in their alternate universe, for the “Gods of the copybook headings with terror and slaughter will return.”
