Some good luck has fallen on the beleaguered voters. Conservative some would say constitutional candidate Todd Long announced he would run for Florida’s 8th congressional district last Saturday November 7th, 2009. The now infamous 8th district is currently represented by “footstool” Democrat Alan Grayson. The 8th is a key congressional district because it is one the few that is competitive between democrats and republicans. In 2006 the race was 53% Republican and 46% Democrat. In 2008 Democrat Grayson got 52% of the vote. The district takes in parts of Orange County, Lake County, Marion and Osceola County. Part of Orlando is in the district, including Walt Disney World. It will be competitive one again in 2010.

So far the big break for Mr. Long has been the lack of or backing out of long established republican figures in the coming primary. Rich Crotty was considering a run for the 8th. Mr. Crotty is a long established figure in Orange County since 1992 when he was elected property appraiser. He then moved on successfully to become Orange County Chairman and finally Orange County Mayor. Locally he is considered very competent but somewhat uninspiring. The very knowledgeable somewhat dull government bureaucrat we all want to protect the taxpayer’s money. A great guy but nobody will pin the charisma label on Mr. Crotty.

A second possible challenger was Steve Precourt. Mr. Precourt is a very photogenic engineer who currently is in the Florida House of Representatives District 41 (Orlando area). Steve is probably a great guy but without the name recognition and resources of other challengers. Civil engineers tend to be very detailed orientated, sometimes to a fault if you know what I mean. Boring.

There will be some challengers in the Republican primary and it will not be a coronation but the heavy hitters have decided not to run at this time. A “Tea Party” candidate has emerges as the most credible threat to contest the primary. But Mr. Long has the name recognition and resources to be the heavy favorite to win.

All this came about not as a fluke but a lot of hard work for Mr. Long. After having spent $250,000 of his own money in his failed 2008 campaign to beat Ric Keller in the primary Mr. Long stayed very active in local political events. Tea Party’s, hosting a local radio talk show paid for by himself, writing a book previously reviewed on this web site, attending every meeting related to politics possible including a local Libertarian Party meeting, and constantly keeping it all strait while raising a family. Some times you make your breaks and “luck” plays a very small part of your good fortune. Frankly as a local involved with both Republicans and Libertarians it’s impressive to see real work ethic and not just a lot of money and trash talking.

Mr. Long will have his work cut out for him. While Mr. “footstool” Grayson is an embarrassment to rational thinking people of Orange County he is now a rock star among the democratic elite and has already raised half a million dollars for 2010. In addition to this Mr. Grayson has already received large amounts of help from the Local ACORN office in voter registration efforts. No doubt a substantial sum of these 2008 and future 2010 registrations fraudulent out of state voters staying in Florida a week or two, felons and illegal immigrants. Unfortunately the voter’s registration office does very little to police and purge felons, illegal’s and fly by night voters from the rolls. Even party officials on both sides spend very little time researching voter roles for fraudulent registration for fear of being labeled “racist” or some other nonsense. A crime that will continue to get worse as long as minority voters are so predictably democrat.

So the people of the 8th district should have a stark difference. No milktoast republican will be running. Mr. Long is more like the founding fathers in his interpretation of the federal government’s role in our lives. That means no state bail outs, no federal interference in abortion laws passed at the state level, certainly no federal health care, no bank bail outs, no pork barrel spending and a strong defense. A constitutional congressman is how I would classify Mr. Long.

Mr. Grayson on the other hand is as loony as a liberal gets. He overestimates the power of the federal government to do anything good and if it doesn’t he really doesn’t care. As with most liberals it’s all about control and power. They just throw out some bull shirt argument here and there about some poor sap somewhere, building outrage at the contrived injustice to fire up voters to get more power. I really can’t handle the irrational arguments of liberals as I age in this world. I just want to tell them to shut up and smoke a joint. Chill and drop a Quaalude dude. Just make crap up and the serious thinkers spend all their time proving the premise wrong and then make up more crap. Just tired of arguing with idiots as Glenn Beck would say.

Seriously the money has been spent on liberal nonsense and the nation is fast approaching bankruptcy. For the uninitiated bankruptcy has caused the break up of mighty empires from Rome to the former USSR. Idiots and the deluded think it can’t happen here because we are the United States but it damn sure can and will. When that hyperinflation kicks in that paper money will be useless. The federal government will pretend to pay federal workers and federal workers will pretend to work. The system will fall apart as people realize they are working for nothing but a title. Just as surely as in roman times, just as surely as in the former USSR.

America is a large area and places like Texas and California are not going to stand back doing nothing waiting for the next federal edict or bail out. People, cities, states and new nations will push forward and the USA will be a fond memory of when 300 million people were as one.

Make no mistake about it Todd Long, Connecticut Senate candidate Peter Schiff, Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul and his father Ron Paul along with Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee and the Tea Party protesters, disgruntled Libertarians and any America we can persuade are looking to make one last ditch effort to save this country from dictatorship, bankruptcy and finally dissolution. I never thought I would live to see it but 2010 may truly be our last attempt to reverse the direction this country is on. In 2012 a large number of congressional seats will go to strongly democratic states with large illegal immigrant populations drastically changing the political make up of congress. In other words the democrats will have permanent power if the illegals are included in the Congressional Reapportionment. Pretty much the same scheme the slave holders used back in the antebellum days to increase their voting rights. Nothing better than to have a bunch of slaves or in modern time’s illegal immigrants to increase your voting strength. The evil back then lead to a civil war and the evil in the coming 2012 Congressional Reapportionment will lead to the same results.

If by some miracle people like Todd and Peter Schiff get elected they will have to move very fast. Killing any health care bill, impeaching Obama (don’t care how find some dirt), purging illegal’s, felons and double registered from voting rolls, freezing federal spending, firing Ben Bernanke from the Federal Reserve, purging congress and the senate of corruption no matter where it leads them, killing federal programs not needed like the Department of Education and Housing and the list will go on. It will take two thirds in the house and senate with a single mindset to change the course of history and that is highly unlikely. Two thirds in both houses to bypass and impeach the president, pass needed laws, kill federal spending and save the nation.

What will more likely happen is the stimulus spending will kick in for fiscal quarter one and two next year so the democrats can claim they are making the economy “grow”. Of course the unintended consequence is the dollar will plunge, inflation will kick in, jobs will be lost, bankruptcies will increase, financial institutions collapse (again), marshal law will be declared, dictatorship and the eventual melt down. Roosevelt had the same economics as Obama. Keynesian economics. Tax, spend, regulate. Roosevelt economic policies were a complete and total failure. 17.2% average unemployment including WWII when everyone was working or off to war. 17.2% unemployment with inflation because the Federal Reserve was printing money just like today. The Great depression is considered by most to have lasted from 1929 to 1940. Eleven years and then war. Has there ever been a worse president than FDR for the average guy? And now we have Obama.

How long will the dictatorship live on? Hitler lasted 12 years. The Soviet Union 72 years. Long enough to destroy the hopes and dreams of anyone living today. And seriously this is why states need to recognize this federal death spiral and make plans for succession from the union. If the southwest, Midwest and non coastal western states get together and say enough is enough it can be done peacefully just like what happened in the Soviet Union back in 1989 to 1991. If the states organize there is no need to go through a Stalin or Hitler here in the good old USA. We don’t want to do the Hugo Chavez dictator for life dance.

If the Republicans win enough senate seats they need to set as priority number one the impeachment of Obama. Real quick. Dig up the dirt and pay the lawyers. Do whatever is necessary and get rid of the Black Liberation Marxist ASAP. Then maybe we will have a chance to save the union.
