It's The Senate Stupid

[444-4D]

From U.S. Senator Jim DeMint.

You may remember the slogan "It's the economy, stupid" used by Bill Clinton during the 1992 presidential campaign to make the point that George H. W. Bush had not adequately addressed the economy.

Clinton's political strategist, James Carville, posted the phrase inside campaign headquarters as a way to keep the team focused and on message. The phrase later became the de facto slogan for the Clinton election campaign.

The slogan is relevant again in 2012 as Americans consider Barack Obama's dismal economic record, but if you consider yourself a freedom-loving American, I have a different slogan for you.

"It's the Senate, stupid."

Most Americans are focused on the presidential race right now, but winning the White House -- as critical as it is -- won't be enough to save the country we love without a strong, conservative majority in the United States Senate.

Without a conservative Senate, we won't repeal Obamacare.
Without a conservative Senate, we won't balance the budget.
Without a conservative Senate, we won't secure our borders.
Without a conservative Senate, we won't stop the bailouts.
And without a conservative Senate, we won't enact the pro-growth policies needed to get America back to work.

The simple fact of the matter is this: a Republican president without a conservative Senate is a waste of a Republican president.

A president can campaign on good policies, but he doesn't write the bills. As long as liberals are in charge of writing legislation, it will be difficult for a Republican president to sign the right bills into law.

Does anyone think Harry Reid will ever send a bill to the President's desk to repeal ObamaCare? The answer is "no" and that's why I am focused on sending strong conservatives to the Senate who will make that a reality.

Oh, sorry I didn't catch that Gandy. I jumped on you needlessly.

We've had "strong conservative majorities" in the recent past. Yet the debt is still there, immigration never got resolved, etc etc.

Gotta love blind party rhetoric. It basically translates into this: "Forget the past and how we participated in screwing everything up every single time we got voted into office. Vote for us again and this time we'll fix it. We promise."


Yeah, I'll believe that when me sh!t turns purple, and smells like rainbow sherbet.

Apparently you haven't been to Baskin Robbins ice cream parlor lately. It's slogan has recently changed from "31 Flavors" to "32 Flavors". As luck would have it, the 32nd flavor is "Purple Sh!t Rainbow Sherbet".
