The Silver Lining

The election has come and has gone, with many highlights and disappointments. Such is life.

An obvious disappointment is the election of Senator Barack Obama. That's a tough break. The best man for the job didn't win the hearts of Americans, at least not enough to rock the vote. Although this outcome is a devastating blow for America, there are some high points that should be recognized.

An Obama White House will most definately lead to America needing a change from "change". His campaign promises have already begun to deteriorate, starting in this victory speech. He immidiately began to lower American expectations. "The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term." What? Do you mean to tell me that you don't think you can make good on your campaign promises? Wow, Barack, really?
"There will be setbacks and false starts." Setbacks? What type of setbacks? The kind where you say one thing and do another? Let's start with the promise to get American troops out of Iraq immidiately, then saying that there are logistical issues that can't be avoided. Come on, Barack, you aren't stupid. You knew those problems would be there when you began talking about the withdrawl. You led your sheep astray, you wolf. Shame on you.

My point here was to illustrate that President Elect Obama will wear out his welcome in the White House, and Americans will be ready for the rise the GOP. When I say GOP, I refer to the base. Conservativism will resurge and become the answer once again for Americans yearning for a better goverment. Also, when I say conservativism, I mean Paul Ryan. In 2012, after Obama's first term, the stage will be set for an honest, hardworking, consevative representative. Paul Ryan is the man for the job. He is the future of the GOP and is a rising star not only in the conservative movement, but in American politics. Watch out, America- Paul Ryan is on the move and is coming to improve your standard of living.

An Obama presidency is also a good thing because it has forced the GOP to step back and re-examine it's state of affairs. There have obviously been huge problems withing the party and the democratic take over of American politics is a huge opportunity for the GOP to regroup and figure out where to go from here. Rock bottom leaves a lot of room for improvement and advancement. While Obama is out there on Pennsylvania Avenue, making a mockery of America, the members of the GOP will be putting together new ideas, grooming the future leaders, and reforming policies. The GOP has gotten a rough during the past eight years, and this is the time to revamp and create a new image. It will be difficult, no doubt, but the GOP has a solid foundation and will build sturdy walls upon it. 2012 will be the year of the new, sexy, effective GOP.

It's true, I was completely disappointed in the election results on November 4th. However, after a day or two of pouting and feeling sorry for myself and for America, I sucked it up and found the positives. Now it's time to get over the past and look forward. John McCain is the past, Paul Ryan is the future.

President Barack Obama? Sounds terrible. However, it's a blessing in disguise. Conservatives, have no fear, because America will soon be re-united under a common goal: Rescuing American principles from the tyranny of an Obama White House.

Got the plan? See the outcome? Work hard, fellow conservatives. Relief is four short years away.
