Once again it is time for some Twitter (for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word) like random musings from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, it appears that Twitter would most likely censor what I have to say any way and Facebook certainly would censor what I have to say.
I have thought some more about a tack that Republicans could take everywhere in this coming election. I stated this train of thought thinking about my state’s legislative races that will be occurring in the fall. To me there is plenty of reason that there currently is no legislative check upon our Democratic governor who continually opens and shuts businesses down based on what is increasing faulty data regarding the coronavirus, increased taxes, more onerous gun regulations and etc. But that seems too complicated and perhaps the simplest question to ask or advertise from now until the elections is something to the effect of, “A vote for any Democrat this election is a vote to allow our (insert one or more of the following) city, country, state, country to become like San Francisco, Seattle, New York, or Chicago.” It is simple and can be backed up with facts and video. President Trump has already started this campaign, but I question if my local Republican politicians will have the brass to do the same. Again, it is simple, A vote for any Democrat is a vote for San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Atlanta, and etc. My goodness there is so much fodder for the Republicans it just amazes me that they are not using it. Where are the leaders?!?!?
I will say that I recently read an op-ed written by former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt to a local newspaper in Nevada. It, to me, was a well written and very public opinion supporting the Constitution and American Values. I say to Mr. Laxalt thank you for using your clout to express a truly conservative opinion. Now, I ask, where is the rest of the Republican leadership?
Speaking of which I wrote a letter to the two members of my state’s legislature over a week ago who are both Republican. I have to say I am a bit disappointed as I have heard back from neither one of them. When I wrote my Governor, who happens to be Democrat, I heard back within two days. Perhaps the Governor has a larger staff which is for at least another week I will give the legislators the benefit of the doubt.
Speaking of my state governor. This person is rolling back the coronavirus restrictions because of the upsurge in cases. However, I still fail to see the data to support it. Sure, the number of cases is increasing but the percentage of hospitalizations to number of new cases is falling. I truly believe this is political maneuvering now. Shut the bars down so people will not talk, shut the schools down so mothers will not talk, shut large venues down so the President and others cannot hold rallies and the list goes on. Oh well, I think I am going to brush up on my self defense skills. Something tells me these maybe coming in handy in the near future.
