McCain Could Be the President-elect "TWICE"

Republicans vow to rebuild after big defeats

After the election was over, I have observed the historical moment; and read and listen as much as possible to find the forces in it.

The thread is very helpful to express "hope" and "angry."   Sorry to say, most of them are emotional. They forgot or missed the core consideration of the topic, mainly to "rebuild": What the next constructive step or steps to take for GOP to get up?

Historically, the longest "honeymoon" for our presidents is only 6 month long.  So many elites pointed out two approaches for Obama, mainly focused on a broader and aggressive macroeconomic FDR-style program (socialist way, if you wish to call it) or one-at-a-time daily gradual problem-solving.  It seems no third way out of the mouth of those intellectuals.  Incredible for my small brain to imagine.  Yes, there is a third way. 

I am sick and tired of reports or media saying that consumers "cut back."  How come today's report of Walmart sales surged 15%?   A poor can't cut back his spending even he has no money at all (sorry to say, he will go rob or steal if that's the case.)  The last thing he wants is to be short of the stuffs to survive, or to starve himself to death.  Why the general retail sales are dim?  Simply, there is a fact that people has no money (those with some are prudent and scared to spent cash.  They do the opposite: trying to preserve it).   They are not in a position as a "ready, willing and capable" buyer in our professional terms.   

If Obama is ready and willing to solve the "recession", please don't try to play cute by your academic knowledge and complicated arrogance.   Just go look at the bottom or basics, you will be amazed how simple it is to cure, based on my "town hall" meeting experience of the last Saturday before election, October 31.  

(NOTE: I was invited by my neighbors Miranda and Shawn to their dinner party; and I turn it into a political forum to ask if McCain could do my AIP.  The result: McCain was elected as President and "TWICE" shouted out by one of them.  Sorry, I didn't mentioned it in my blog; and now I don't provide the details on their doubts, arguments, my answers; and how I connected it to the minds and their daily life experience of those ordinary young people in their 30s who I'd never met.) 

It seems to me nobody talks here seriously about what precise programs GOP should take to restore its confidence from average Joe.

I believe the huge vote turnout says something very basic and vital that all politicians have to listen, particularly the GOP leaders.  In a Democratic society like ours, the turnout usually is low, unless something bothered people so broader enough to a point that they lost or disturbed their peace of minds.   Look back, history told us that our people was not so crazy about voting except a crisis emerged to disturb the mess as we were in 1908, 1960, 1968 in the recent past.  Asbestos is safe, stable and silent until it was disturbed to release its huge harmful elements.

There are so many concerns. I'd like to mention two here:
1. What dramatically changed it NOW? A urgency is here, right?
2. Why John McCain lost the election, judging by a poll fact that he was a front runner two months ago, particularly immediately after Gov. Palin delivered her acceptance speech at GOP convention? What caused the switch of voters' mind?

The situation left me an impression that anyone can defeat GOP no matter who represents DEM (sorry to Obama.) The core force that bring down GOP is social anxiety or economic angry toward GOP.
When we changed or destroyed the root of Capitalist Market function, how can we get a good result by using those so-called "free market" tools Paulson claimed (in fact, they are not)? In my mind, I have always had a question: Is it so difficult for GOP in power to solve the recent "recession fear", not go bow to the neo-mercantilism the wall street upheld?

I am just wondering whether McCain would lose if GOP could stay in the right track of Adam Smith.

PS: I am a conservative capitalist and individualist so that, for now, I am self-restrained myself to say anything on HOPE our people has. I don't even want to say something like some columnists who said "it is just my hope, not my expectation." I believe our America is a great country so that let us be patient for what comes next in a very short time, say 3-6 month, to see if we can overcome and reach the goal as Obaman claimed the night he declared victory.

PPS: No surprise to me for the stock plunges immediately after election.  I may post 2 drafts I stored in AR and release them to pinpoint the nature course of stock give-up.
