Ditto for Republican John McCain and sometimes with his crowd-pleasing running-mate, Sarah Palin. In fact, New Mexico was pretty much a toss-up in the last five presidential races, but not this year. "It's not clear that we're going to be one of the top states in terms of toss-up in 2012," said University of New Mexico Political Science professor, Lonna Atkeson. "That might really impact us in terms of the kind of attention that we usually are getting, and we may not be getting it this time." "We've gone from tossup to maybe battleground, where they'll still fight for it," said politics blogger Joe Monahan of joemonahan.com.

Can Government Do Anything Well?

Reason - I’m suspicious of superstitions, like astrology or the belief that “green jobs will fix the environment and the economy.” I understand the appeal of such beliefs. People crave simple answers and want to believe that some higher power determines our fates. The most socially destructive superstition of all is the intuitively appealing belief that problems are best solved by government. Opinion polls suggest that Americans are dissatisfied with government. Yet whenever another crisis hits, the natural human instinct is to say, “Why doesn’t the government do something?” And politicians appear to be problem-solvers. We believe them when they say, “Yes, we can!” In 2008, when Barack Obama’s supporters shouted, “Yes, we can!” they expressed faith in the power of government to solve problems. Some acted as if Obama were a magical politician whose election would end poverty and inequality and bring us to “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.” At least now people have come to understand that presidents—including this president—can’t perform miracles.

Of course that’s the official theory on socialism and Marxism. But of course it never works out that way. Yet still today the hype is nonetheless the same. I’ve written about this before especially comparisons of the economic elements of various types of fascism. For me the most frightening aspect of the speech wasn’t that President Obama is looking to forge a new economic model where socialism meets capitalism with heavy government oversight. Everyone has a theory and belief on what works and what doesn’t work.
No, the scary part about that speech (it was tamped down a little yesterday in front of sympathetic business executives and CEOs) is that it’s now out in the open. While his kimono isn’t open all the way, President Obama and the left are now selling their agenda not as a true economic policy but as a form of “fairness” or more succinctly “social justice.” This acknowledges his economic agenda failed but it failed within the confining restraints of a capitalistic system that he says is simply rigged. That’s why President Obama always mentions rich people aren’t paying their fair share legally. Read full column here: News New Mexico
