Vote Getting Strategy : Promise Everything, Deliver Nothing

I think most Conservatives know how the progressives work the general public, free stuff for everyone that votes for me. hmmmm Well that's great on the campaign trail, but when it comes to delivery on promises, the car takes the wrong fork in the road. And what's so frustrating is that it works every time it's used. The progressive socialists just seem to know what buttons to push to get votes. Its all in the message and delivery.

A good example of this phenomena are the Hispanics. Everyone is all upset over the Hispanic vote and the reason why so many voted for Mr Obama. It seems to slip the collective conscience that Mr Obama had two years with super majorities in congress to get done what ever he wanted. He couldn't be stopped, and yet who got the short end of the stick, the Hispanics. No immigration proposals what so ever. Did that make a difference to the Hispanic voter, apparently not.

Who did it fall on the shoulders of Republicans as to why the Hispanic vote was lost? Even when Hispanic TV went after Mr Obama on his failed administration, the voters still voted for him. Why?  Is it possible that it's all about the 'ice cream'?

We are worried about 'the cow' when it is all about the 'Ice Cream.' The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching 3rd grade.

The last Presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.

We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot. The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids.
I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.
I had never seen Olivia's mother.

The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best.
Everyone applauded and he sat down.

Now is was Olivia's turn to speak.

Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely would say more. She did not have to.

A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure. But no one pursued that question. They took her at her word.

Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it...She didn't know. The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream...Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.

Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 51.4 % of the people reacted like nine year olds. They want ice cream. The other 48.6% percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess." This is the ice cream Obama promised us!

Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else. Did you vote for the ice cream?

THAT, MY FRIEND, IS HOW OBAMA GOT ELECTED, BY THOSE WHO WANT EVERYTHING FOR FREE!  CLASS DISMISSED…
