With unemployment surging to 9.2% in June, President Obama is in NO position to tell Republicans what to do much less command them to capitulate to his wishes on raising the nation’s debt ceiling by August 2, 2011.

Democrats got a big shellacking in the 2010 mid-term elections, giving Republicans control of the House and more Senate seats. Obama’s budget was rejected by the Senate 97-0 and Democrats haven’t produced a budget in over 700 days. Meanwhile, the president, riding a sky high spending spree, introduced a $3 trillion budget for 2012.

In two short years in office, Obama has spent $4 trillion about the same amount President Bush spent in his entire eight years in office. President Obama is not the Messiah and I hope by now the liberal news media and supporters can painfully see this and end this sickening fawning over a man, who has failed as president. Last week Obama held a White House press conference acting like a king holding court over his loyal subjects. His demeanor was childish, glib and anything put leader-like.

Demographic change is irritating to politicos, since it works on elections much as rigged dice do on a Las Vegas craps table: it is a game changer.

The natives are restless again. It seems the more I try to sell what’s good about the Republican party to my liberal and black friends, fiscal responsibility, limited government and lower taxes, the harder it gets.

This Land of California is full of “Republican Misfits” who want to impress the Prospector with fundraiser dinners and show all the Gold in their pockets. In return, the Prospector takes many photos and gleefully accepts Nuggets under-the-table just to seal the deal. The Leader of the Misfits assures the Prospector that when Santa Claus comes to town, “We will be ready, and We will get that ‘Key to the Vault’ this time!” Just remember to put all of us on Santa Claus’ guest list of special opportunities for the ones who gave the bigger Nuggets.

In 2012, We will all see the New Santa Claus who comes to town with a “new bag of rocks” to bless California. The better Hope for California Republican Party in 2011 is that they keep their “old bag of rocks,” and build up their own “Land” so that we can regain the major Lost handed us in 2010. That Man has enough of our Gold Nuggets, and the Minions want to see Santa Claus and the Man help build and give towards Territories in California that we have never seen win local Seats. If those Republican Candidates win or lose a Seat, at least they can feel the support from the “Top to the Bottom” of the Kingdom. Sometimes you have to lose to win in the ongoing game of politics. Building the name and respect of the Candidates is “the Key” to winning the Seats of public trust.

Now that the 2010 midterms are over I finally have time to write again, and there is no better topic than last week’s election results.

The Republican Jewish Coalition has a list out congratulating Jewish Republicans who were elected to office this election cycle. Curiously, the list also mentions Nan Hayworth the newly elected Representative from New York’s 19th congressional district. This inclsuion is a bit strange given that Hayworth was born Lutheran. So is Nan Hayworth Jewish?

Forward Magazine provides the answer with a quote from Ron Kampeas the Washington, D.C. bureau chief of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency : “There’s nothing in Hayworth’s official bio to indicate that she’s of the tribe, though Ron Kampeas at JTA reports that she “was born and raised Lutheran, but is married to a Jew and has told friends she is a ‘Jew by choice’.” The second Republican candidate (should he win) would be Randy Altschuler who is running in New York’s 1st District. The online magazine Politico has an article (listed below) that details the nuances of his particular race.

The third Jewish Republican in Congress would be Eric Cantor who currently is the second-ranking member of the House Republican leadership, having been elected Whip in November 2008. It should be noted that the Republican Party and the Jewish community have a long history. Florence Prag Kahn who was the first Jewish American Woman ever to serve in Congress in The United States was a Republican.

Like many blacks who openly identify as Republicans or conservatives, Dr. Rice is often the recipient of sharp elbows from other blacks who question her affinity for African-American issues. Her closeness to the often reviled 43rd president also conspires against her in a community that historically views the GOP with unremitting hostility.

The release of Dr. Rice’s new book, entitled Extraordinary, Ordinary People: A Memoir of Family, affords an opportunity to take a more balanced view of the many achievements notched by the Stanford University professor, who skipped two grades, began her college career at 15, and earned three degrees — including a PhD in political science. Her expertise on the former Soviet Union earned her a place within the notoriously insular conservative foreign policy establishment.

Yes my fellow Hispanic immigrant counterparts, the Democratic Party has two faces, while smiling at you, your Tío (uncle) Jose, and Tía (auntie) Conchita, from Michoacán, and telling you that they love you, their supporting the very same unions that despise you with a passion. You under cut and out compete the union worker at every turn. Why wouldn’t you?! The American union worker has become among the laziest and most spoiled in the world. The Hispanic immigrant, or illegal, come along and do the same jobs, work at it harder, endure the worst working conditions possible in the United States, and do it for far less money than your American born counterparts. Even past union leaders like Cesar Chavez, a Hispanic, opposed you! This had nothing to do with identity crises. He opposed an open border policy because of the competition it created for those Hispanics already living in the United States. Cesar Chavez represented many of the same views of the Democratic Party. Yet, most Hispanics, who usually oppose strict immigration laws, continue to vote and support the Democratic Party?! Ai yai yai!

If this continues, immigration from Latin America will break the Republican Party and the Democrats know this! That’s why Democrats like Harry Reid, with their nanny mentality, continue bribing (or buying) the Hispanic vote by offering up gifts (BAIT!) in the form of free healthcare, welfare, and amnesty; anything to stimulate an interest among Latin Americans to travel north to our country for the purpose of squashing the protectors of the American dream—the Republican Party. Talk about hook, line, and sinker! When and if this happens, the next ones to feel the wrath of the Democratic Party will be the Hispanic immigrant. The unions will push for tougher immigration and protectionism policies; translation—no amnesty, no compassion for your empty stomachs, or any other essential needs of your families. Again, the only thing the unions care about is to protect the American worker. Acuérdate (remember), these are the biggest supporters of the Democratic Party and like spoiled children, get vicious when they can’t get their way.

Vietnamese Americans have as a group historically voted in favor of Republican candidates and have self-identified as Republicans at a greater rate than other Asian American communities. This is for a number of reasons, including because Vietnamese Americans perceived the GOP as being the more aggressively anti-communist of the two major American political parties, particularly during the Reagan era. Given the historical circumstances which led to emigration by Vietnamese people to the United States, in many ways one can consider the Vietnamese American experience to be similar to that of another post-World War II immigrant population – the Cuban American community, and the voting tendencies between both groups are quite similar.

This voting tendency has not disappeared. According to the National Asian American Survey (NAAS) entitled “Asian Americans and the 2008 Election” (which was conducted prior to the 2008 Presidential election), Vietnamese Americans were the only Asian American group that leaned more Republican than Democrat, and the polling in that survey showed strong support for John McCain over Barack Obama at a ratio of two to one. The exit polling conducted during that election seems to support the pre-election polling cited above. According to a report from the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) entitled “The Asian American Vote in the 2008 Presidential Election“, Vietnamese Americans had the highest percentage of identification with the Republican Party among Asian American groups at 44%, with that number going over 50% in the states of Texas, Louisiana and Maryland.

The Pew Research Center has just released a survey on religious preference and partisan identification. The one question which as garnered the greatest amount of media attention was the vast increase in Americans who identify Obama as a Muslim, now at 18%, up from 11% last year.

But another finding may have even more serious political consequences for Obama and the Democrats. The number of Jewish Americans identifying themselves as Republicans has jumped dramatically since Obama took office, from 20% in 2008, to an all-time high of 33% in 2010.

While the gain in Jewish Republican identity was most striking, the GOP gained in partisan identification with every single religious group, including 6% among Catholics, and even a gain of 4% with Atheists and Agnostics.

Every time Democrats try to pass bills to extend unemployment benefits, Republicans say “No.”So what’s wrong with Republicans?

“When I hear someone say something along the lines of ‘why do we have to be talking about race? Why can’t we just be people and let that stuff alone’, I hear someone who hasn’t had the occasion to think hard about how the past effects the present.”

Tea parties. Conservative backlash to Obama’s policies, a most peculiar institution. I didn’t vote for the president. Truthfully, voting seems a charade. Back to tea parties. They are a suspected as the new neo-conservative delivery vehicle. Mostly White; overwhelmingly Christian in a political sense; uninterested in urban America.

Lower taxes- amen! Less government? amen again! Individual rights? Three for three! Liberalism means limitation for urban communities: more money on the EBT card passes for urban Democratic strategy. Still, can a tea party movement moving against this president serve my interests?

Not likely.

It’s a worthwhile reminder to the GOP that even though this particular health care reform deal might be dead, that doesn’t mean that health care reform should not take place. Like M. Scott, I fear that Brown’s victory might be misinterpeted as a way to just support the status quo.

That said, I’ve also been wondering if there is a reason that Republicans have not always been so passionate on health care reform as Democrats. I have a theory that one of the reasons Republicans have been active in trying to defeat health care is not simply because they are mean-spirited people as some on the left might think, but because they know there is nothing in it for them- no incentive to work for change. This is what Mark Thompson over at the League of Ordinary Gentlemen has to say about how the GOP views health care in response to fellow Leaguer Jamelle:
