Proud Conservative, But We Voters Need More Backbone!

There are many things in this life that I am very proud of; my nineteen year old son who has voted absentee and for the first time, so the President has 1 vote already secure! I'm proud that we live in a country where freedom and liberty are the hallmark of our existance. I'm proud of the tremendous accomplishments that our country has made and as its status as the world's lone Super Power. I'm proud of the stance this land has taken and bled for against terrorism on ALL fronts of the war! I am also proud of our President who has given us and the world a moral clarity and leadership that is rare in this world. He continually takes a strong stand in protecting this nation , in following his Constitutional vow and working to improve conditions here at home. With all this said, I fear that we conservatives whether from fear of the liberal agenda or from fear of there regaining power lack a stong backbone to emphatically fight for our beliefs. This tendancy has once again shown its face in response to the first Presidential debate. Like many of you I was a little disappointed that the President did not hammer home more of the flip-flops of John Kerry and was not suprised that the polls and most people believe that Kerry won the debate. What does bother me is that throughout the day Friday and thus far this weekend the "woe is us" syndrome has once again overtaken conservatives and the thought that because of one debate all is lost for the President! Never mind that there was NO change in the polls, never mind that the majority of votors still believe that Bush is the best man for the job. Never mind that most of the Senate and House seats up for grabs have a Republican lead. Never mind that there is still one month and three debates left. No, many conservatives see the world coming to an end! First let me remind you of the first debate in 1984 between President Reagan and Walter Mondale. Mondale recieved a 17 point bounce after the convention and was 8-9 points ahead in the polls going into the first debate. President Reagan was not even close to his game for this debate. Infact many even thought he had become senial. He looked and acted tired, his thoughts wondered and he generally acted as if he was pre-occupied. After the debate Mondale celebrated a victory and everyone was sure he would win the election. Then came the next debate one week later. President Reagan ate Mondale for dinner and went on to the largest landslide in American history! Why do conservatives not realize that the majority of the country believes as we do? Have we been trounced upon by the liberal agenda so much that there is an internal fear that anything that does not appear perfect will defeat is? Remember with the exception of two midterm elections in the 80's and the two times Clinton was elected conservatives have won rather decisevly every national election since 1980! Yet even after holding Congress since 1994 we still back down and are afraid of the liberal agenda even to the point that legislation is changed dramatically and judges unconstitutionally kept from the bench. Where is our backbone. We have a strong President who will have very powerful coat tails on November 2. Then over the next four years our larger majority will prevail both in Congress and the State Houses. We need to start acting like we are the majority and not the minority. Whining is no longer an option! The great things we say to each other in private must be yelled from the roof top in public. Why are the liberals so feared. Not because they are right, not because they have better ideas, only because thier mouths are bigger and they yell louder! Well fellow conservatives it's our turn. We are in power, after November 2 we will still be in power and it's past time for conservatism to be shouted from the mountain tops and the liberal voice because OF OUR STAND brought from it's lofty and false heights!
