The next Reagan?
Posted by Richard on November 6, 2010
On March 22, after ObamaCare was rammed through Congress, I wrote:
Aside from a few idiots chortling over the political benefit of letting the Democrats pass such an unpopular bill, the Stupid Party has acquitted itself pretty well during the struggle over government-controlled health care. Maybe — just maybe — some of them have actually learned from their well-deserved drubbing in 2006 and 2008.
The Evil Party, on the other hand, has interpreted public repudiation of Republicans (to be precise, candidates pretending to be Republicans) as a mandate to become even more evil. This fall, they may learn what a mistake that was.
I just hope we can find another Reagan — or better yet, a Thatcher — in the next three years.
I think the results of the election this past Tuesday have proven my prediction about this fall correct.
My hope for another Reagan may have begun to be fulfilled by the election of Marco Rubio to the Senate. I've finally watched his acceptance speech from Tuesday night, and to say I'm impressed is an understatement. Watch and see if you don't think this man has a very bright future. (Notice: no teleprompter!)
