Do we have time for a flashback about an old-time "ethnic" joke? It went something like this:

Q. What's the shortest book in the library?

A. The Book of Italian War Heroes!

But today, the "shortest book in the library" is now known as..."Effective Republican Political Strategies", something that should be a wake-up call to overconfident Republicans everywhere, who are now crowing.... "we have the upper hand vs. the democrats on the government health care controversy!"

Sorry Republicans...you are the ones who remain exposed:

The Democrats have got a multitude of dirty tricks up their sleeves, and could care less about who opposes them- including their constituents back home.

EXHIBIT A: On Sept 28, 2008 a local St Louis TV station carried an ominous news report... "The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who runs misleading TV ads during the presidential campaign."

"St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, and St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch have been threatening anyone posting false character 'attacks' against Mr. Obama. This includes negative information sonsored by 'soft money' organizations."

In effect, the Obama campaign succeeded in squelching the right to free speech, and "truth squads" of local prosecutors (and sheriffs) had created a paranoidal atmosphere, where Republicans -if they dared run ads critical of candidate Obama - could face prosecution.

EXHIBIT B: In 2008, Ohio State. Rep. John Boccieri outspent Republican challenger Kirk Schuring  by $1.7 million, winning a close contest in Ohio's 16th congressional district - a staunchly Republican area, encompassing "conservative-minded" Canton, Ohio.

Boccieri's victory was largely due to the Democratic National Campaign (DNCC) Committee, spending nearly $2 million in television/radio buys - running misleading ads (mostly lies) about the Republican Schuring.

Boccieri is a carpet-bagging liberal hack, who was imported by Rahm Emanuel from the democratic stronghold of nearby Youngstown, Ohio.  Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha sponsored his fund raisers, all taking place in Cleveland & New York City. This - plus ACORN - was responsible for his corrupt victory.

In the days heading up to the vote on cap and trade, thousands of local calls and e-mails (30 to 1 "against") did not sway Mr. Boccieri from voting "yes."  

For two weeks following the vote, the DNCC ran a series of "man on the street" political commercials, "thanking" Boccieri for his vote that would..."help save our environment"...and "reduce our dependency on foreign oil."

EXHIBIT C: A Roanoke (Virginia) television station - WDBJ-TV - refused to air a recent National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) ad, attacking freshman US Representative Tom Perriello (D-VA), citing "factual inaccuracies."

The Republicans had purchased media time in Virginia (and around the country), to run ads against Democratic members of Congress, like Perriello, who had voted for the "Waxman-Markey clean energy economy" legislation. 

But after receiving "information" from the Center for American Progress (left wingers), WBBJ pulled the Republican ad from rotation, claiming it "erroneously" states that the bill will “destroy jobs” and “cost middle-class families $1,800 a year.”

Given all that, picture Rahm Emanuel and Commander-in-sneak Obama in their DC "war room," placing pins on the map in all the "blue dog" districts- plotting where to send truth squads and DNCC campaign funds for the 2010 midterm elections- while overconfident Republican leaders do not yet have any idea of who'll oppose them!

Overconfidence is best described as "intellectual conceit," and Pollyann-ish Republicans continue acting like gullible fools, refusing to realize what they're up against - the most diabolical, win-at-all costs, political machine in US history: 

Consider the phony, orchestrated "hold-out" of the blue dog democrats against the House version of the Obama-care bill:

For two weeks, gripping, multi-media press releases described the acrimonious struggle amongst the democrats, as if they were about to implode within: The blue dogs were... "listening to their constituents back home," and..."refusing to cave-in about tax hikes for small business employers" - etc. 

And then, came the "shock": At the last minute - Friday, 9:35 PM - they "caved in." 

A "compromise" was then announced; and so the House version of the bill will move forward for a vote in September.

Ergo- the Republicans are suckered again - score another one for Pelosi (who remains undefeated). 

Indeed, it was all part of the Obama/Emanuel Machiavellian strategy to create a a climate of overconfidence, as naive Republicans are thinking..."Yeah man, we got 'em right where we want em!

Sorry boys - the Democrats have all of YOU right where they want you!

So now, unless Republicans act quickly, Democrats will pass this horrendous, freedom-ending government healthcare bill by September; and like the June cap 'n trade debacle, the Republicans will say..."but we gave 'em a great fight."

Fools!

Right now, (due to more dirty tricks) "all hands are aboard" for Obama-care; the AMA , "big Pharm", the AARP, and the main-stream media.

And Mr. Obama - supposedly facing his "Waterloo"- is about to pull off another Napoleonic, come from behind victory, by using Emanuel's master strategy:

1) During the August recess, blue dogs won't show up for any town hall meetings: they will send "assistants." 

In September, a select number of them will then vote FOR the bill (to make it razor close) claiming... "Gee, we had no idea of the 'tenor' of public opposition", but..."we did it for the good of our constituents, because ...America is the only industrialized country without government health care."

2) Any blue dog voting the party line, facing defeat, has ALREADY been set up with a "fall-back" Obama job: lobbyist; Ambassador to Upper Volta; working as the head of a federal agency - etc.

Pelosi and Emanuel hold all the trump cards; and naive Republicans hold the Joker- failing to realize that blue dogs can be corrupted as easily as waving a 150K/year government career in front of them, with full benefits, and retire on a "peak salary" pension for the rest of one's life- so who's to worry about angry constituents?

3) Massive sums of DNCC money have already been delegated for these same blue dog Congressional district races in 2010 (ala Boccieri).

This assures no matter whom the Republicans pit versus these "vulnerable" blue dogs, the DNCC will  simply run a torrent of negative campaign ads (mostly lies) against Republican challengers for the entire month of October 2010, and local liberal newspapers will endorse incumbent democrats - hence, preservation of the current status quo.

4) Also in fall of 2010, "truth squads," Media Matters, and Move On.org will "influence" local television stations to pull anti-democratic ads, citing that they are either false, or "misleading."

Again, the Republicans suffer from the Pollyanna syndrome: they are too naive to outfox these desperado democrats, who will employ desperate measures to win.  And the passing of government health care is CRITICAL to saving the Obama presidency:

-it means Obama's second term.

-it means the Democrats can then pass immigration amnesty, and empower 20 million new "alien" democrats with THE VOTE.

-it means one-party rule for years to come; the Democrats keep power for perhaps the next half century. 

Think about it, Republicans: The DNCC will never let a handful of blue dogs stand in their way, doing WHATEVER it takes to buy them off:

Billions in earmarks, taxpayer funded grants, etc. will flow to blue dog home districts, literally overwhelming them with political bribes for their "yes" votes - the same "blueprint" used for passing cap 'n trade.

Rest assured, huge sums of campaign party money have already been allocated to keep the blue dogs in office; plus all ACORN local honchos are already being apprised of what strategy to conjure to assure their victory.

And with 60 seats, a Democratic victory in the Senate on health care is all but a fait accompli.

The Republicans must cease this mindless assumption that the Dems are all but done for 2010 - that is EXACTLY what Obama, Pelosi and Emanuel want them to think!

Overconfidence is the hemlock that will kill the Republicans for yet another election cycle; and even if they miraculuosly regained control of both sides of Congress, Obama would only veto any reversal of the health care bill. Thus, September's vote is for all the marbles. 

But the Repubs hold a few big "trump cards" of their own:

First, forget the townhall meetings; if the Dems won't show up, take the townhall to Washington DC (ala Martin Luther King 1963); hold a massive Republican tea party on August 28 (the anniversary of King's "I Had a Dream" speech) in front of the Washington Monument, where one million angry conservative voters send a message... "We shall overcome all democrats who vote against the interests of the American people!"

Next, attack John Conyers - a gift that's been dropped into the Republicans' laps  from the political gods atop Mt Olympus:

For the entire month of August, run Republican-sponsored radio/TV spots with that infamous soundbite..."'Read the bill!?... What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages, and you don't have two days, and two lawyers to find out what it means?"

Next, recruit the elderly, who'll suffer the most under Obamacare:

Buy half-page newspaper ads (adjacent the obituaries) in local newspapers, warning that Obama-care will necessitate rationing for those over 65 - the furor created will be quickly heard all the way to Washington DC.

Next, hold organized marches in state capitals supporting the10th Amendment (states' rights vs. the federal government):

There is nothing in the Constitution about being forced to buy health insurance; thus, file a JOINT RESOLUTION requesting Congress..."cease and desist from enacting mandates that are beyond the scope of the enumerated powers granted to Congress by the Constitution of the United States."

Finally, run a national ad that reads... "What Obama won't tell you about government-run healthcare"...for details,  call 1 800 777 9999 for recorded message. This ad brought to you by the Republican party, because we want America to hear the truth!"   

So what's it gonna be Republicans? Overconfidence and defeat, or a pre-emptive strike to victory?

Question: who ever heard of calling a seated president anti-American...or a sneak? Well, when it comes to Barack Obama (our first anti-president), like the old saying goes..."if the shoe fits-- wear it."

America has always been known as the land of the free, home of the brave, where the buffalo once roamed, etc. But the one thing that is the essence of our country, and our people-- the one thing that truly defines America-- we are a nation that always plays fair...up till now.

Nothing upsets an American more than unfairness.

Whether its someone running a red light, or trying to cut in line, that aggressor will usually not go unchallenged. Or how about a bad sporting decision by some bumbling official? Pity the poor guy if his unfair call should decide the contest.

Americans have zero tolerance for anyone who plays unfair. And besides fairness, most Americans report mostly conservative view points on most issues. That too hasn't changed.

But hold on; what might change, apparently, is how many democratic voters the subversive, Chicago-weaned, Obama administration can produce out of thin air to swing the next election-- and as many elections as possible after that.

How is Obama going to accomplish this? By being his predictably sneaky self. He has just moved the constitutionally-required census from the Commerce Department to the White House – specifically putting it under the thumb of his political strategist, Rahm Emanuel.

How important is the census? Only that it has continued to accurately reflect the growth of this nation, and uphold the founding principle of fair representation.

But to most apathetic Americans, this doesn't seem like a big deal at all: "Da census? A census taker? Whatso inportant about dat ? Duh, how could a boring, droll thing such as a census be somethin' I should worry about?"

And that's exactly what Obama and Emanuel are counting on-- subversing the electoral process by the back door-- fudging our census. They intend to create enough democratic districts to overwhelm congressional Republicans until they'll have no say in our fast-disappearing democracy.

And Obama and Emanuel are relying heavily on the apathy of the same dumbed-down portion of the electorate that put him and his cast of odious liberals into power in the first place.

So where's Paul Revere now when we need him? Who'll warn America about this? After all, what could sound so benign but be so vitally important to a fairly-represented populace as the census?

We are all about to lose our voice in government that the Founding fathers were trying so earnestly to set up originally in our Constitution-- a Constitution that Obama and Emanuel are seeking to overthrow in their lustful grab for absolute one-party power.

So is it any wonder he's to be called our first anti-president?

Its acutely urgent that a new Constitutional Convention should be adjudicated, in order to pass an amendment requiring the census be conducted by an independent agency -- which is allowed to count only living people-- who are actually located and named, with no "estimates" and no sampling.

Obama and Emanuel (and others involved in this coup) are counting on the media to sweep this under the rug, so that Americans won't get all agitated about something as dull as "da census".

Our most basic freedom as Americans – the right to vote and have a real chance at changing things – will be taken away. Check with your friends in Mexico; or write to someone in Cuba; or call someone in the old Communist bloc in Europe about how much they enjoyed generations of one-party rule.

And as for our beloved messiah anti-president, who promised the most open administration in history, this is what he has decided to try for in his first month in office.

Yes, Barack Obama, the anti-president, has decided once and for all to eliminate the competition in what is supposed to be the fairest game of all --our elections. And democracy requires eternal vigilance, especially when it comes to elections. Nothing is more basic to our democracy than a fair outcome for all elections.

So first, you take the census out the hands of the Commerce Secretary. Note: see Senator Judd Gregg for details on why, at first, he was all for holding the cabinet post, then suddenly went belly-up on the idea, realizing that the Frank Nitti of the Whitehouse (Rahm Emanuel) would be calling all his shots. 

Next; a little backround on modern USA voting trends. Big city vote totals ALWAYS go democratic.

Example: in the general election of 2004, the biggest city that voted Bush was Anchorage, Alaska. All the next larger cities on up voted democrat. And with the expansion of the urban minority populations, this will only get 'worse' for the republicans in the future-- something that our anti-president is acutely well aware of.

So now with Obama-Emanuel in control of the census, they can contend that no one should be "undercounted" (the dis-enfranchisement argument). Therefore, "so in order that we don't under-count in the big cities where its hardest to get accuracy, we are imposing new standards of population sampling and "statistically intelligent" estimates, so as to avoid such undercounting (disenfranchisement)."

So connect the dots--this means all urban population totals will now be adjusted UPWARD in all the cities! This guarantees that with expanded urban population counts, the Constitution requires that more congressional districts be created -- and these newly created districts will always be represented in Washington by democrats.

And equally ominous, this will permanently create more electoral votes in the blue states, that will invariably decide all future close presidential elections in favor of the democrats.

The result? A backdoor way to bypass the Constitution: The rigging of the census will assure that the democrats will keep the House, the Senate, and the Whitehouse. These underhanded liberals could hold sway in Washington for the next 50 years--possibly longer.

Welcome to permanent one-party rule --a conservative country held hostage buy a bunch of treasonous radical leftists, who seek to eternally remain in power- and do their nefarious undermining of our Constitution, and the personal freedoms that it guarantees.

Clever...very clever.

One can only wonder all the good Mr. Obama could have accomplished if only he would use his brilliance for America instead of against it. 

And if the democrats gets away with this egregious power grab, we are guaranteed to lose our right to a life free from a government run totally amok-- a monster on the loose-- controlling nearly every aspect of our lives.

Doesn't it seem like Obama is always busy figuring out ways to corrupt our electoral process? First, it was ACORN "registering" fraudulent voters in battleground states; and now its fudging the census so the democrats always win.

Is this playing fair? And where does it all stop--when does this all end? Is the political map of the United States of America about to turn completely blue?

Thomas Jefferson was a leader among the Founders for establishing an accurate census. He realized it was vitally important in creating a representative government that truly put power in the hands of the people. Jefferson's sentiment was groundbreaking at the time of the Constitution’s adoption, and has been an important part of maintaining our democracy ever since. 

And ironically in Washington D.C. just last summer, bi-partisan legislation introduced by Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), along with Reps. Chris Cannon (R-UT), and Steve Cohen (D-TN), was written to designate the new state-of-the-art Census Bureau headquarters in Suitland, Maryland as the “Thomas Jefferson Census Bureau Headquarters Building.”

This passed unanimously in the U.S. House of Representatives last summer. But with the ascendancy of Barack Obama as our first anti-president, this noble step by congress has lost all its relevance.

And if Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he'd might be of mind to say:

“The career scientists, demographers, mathematicians, and professionals of the Census Bureau, as well as the hundreds of thousands of everyday Americans who will be employed in 2010 as temporary census takers, walk in the footsteps of many patriotic Americans before them, and are vital to guaranteeing that Americans everywhere can be confident that their beloved free republic should not be threatened by any attempt to subvert this profoundly important process...our census"

Amen.
