It is what it is!

A win is a win and a loss is a loss. No matter if it’s on the tennis court, golf course or baseball diamond, someone has to win. Some of us can break the rules to get a better score or we can make up an excuse about the loss just to make the blow a bit softer.

What happened in New York’s 9th district last night was a blow. It was a defeat for the President, the democratic challenger and the liberal. Bob Turner, the Republican who never held office before, won fair and square in a district that has been in democratic hands for 90 years. His message connected with many democrats and he got the Jewish vote. This election is the one that will go down as the first election that was a referendum against the President. Say what you will about last years Congressional race, that one was seen as a normal midterm with great results for the Republicans. Bush had his mid term defeat and Clinton had his, but this president really got his delivered to him last night.

The spin all day has been aimed at lessening the blow. However, as more details come out we are finding that the loss was not due to the Anthony Weiner Scandal who’s seat was vacated by his resignation which was the backdrop to yesterdays special election. No matter how you cut it, the Presidents ability to lead is hampered, if not gone. His inability to create jobs is now the issue. He is not a fighter for what makes America great, because it is his vision that has been exposed and now rejected by most Americans including democrats.

I see a trend and it is a healthy trend. I think many citizen politicians are going to be elected in this next election. The next election in 2012 will be about Main Street. I believe that many Americans see that prosperity on Main Street is gone.

I believe that the fairness that the liberal speaks of just does not exits it never has. The liberal always speaks about fair competition, but the liberal will stack the cards or change the score when they need to, to win. The fairness that liberals fight for gives the final determination in any arbitration to the Union’s and government bureaucrats who are one sided and care about one thing and that is their self interest.

I have many discussions with many people in the course of a day. They all say they want fairness and what is best for the country. Many will always go back to their old tactics and one sided view. But many are now saying hold on, I don’t want the status quo, I want something different. The election in New York’s 9th proved that people can vote for what might be right for America after all. It is what it is!

A footnote: I believe that the more citizen politicians who get involved will be the key to turning the country around. It took 80 years to get it to where it is now it might take that long to turn it around, but turn it around it will. It is what it is!
