Have you been tuned into the TV lately?  All the mainstream media are discussing how Obama’s poll numbers are increasing.  Those are mainstream media polls, that is. 

As of today, the non-media polls like Rasmussen still show that those who strongly disapprove of Obama are at 37% while those who strongly approve are at 27%.  And “Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance,” while “Fifty-one percent (51%) disapprove.”

Once again, the mainstream media is selling Obama rather than reporting.  Also note that “somewhat approve” is not a ringing endorsement of his performance.  “Somewhat approve” does not mean “approve,” but the media is trying to make us think it does. 

The mainstream media is trying to put lipstick on the Obama pig.  They are creating a self fulfilling prophesy of increasing poll numbers. 

The Pew Research Center studied the stories carried on the news of the three most prominent cable stations during the 2008 election.  The study did not include editorial oriented shows like Olbermann, Larry King, and Hannity.  It focused on just the news shows.  This is how these three stations fared at reporting negative news about the two presidential candidates. 

                                                Obama                                   McCain

CNN                                       30%                                        61%

MSNBC                                 14%                                       73%

FOX                                        40%                                        40%

MSNBC and CNN created a self fulfilling prophesy. 

The media is now trying to make the case that Obama can win in 2012 like how Bill Clinton won in 1996 after suffering a dramatic defeat in 1994 and after raising taxes.    

The facts about 1996 do not bear out what the pundits are trying to sell us. 

In 1992, Clinton won with only 43% of the vote because Ross Perot split the Republican vote.  Clinton received 44,909,889 votes.  The combination of Perot and Bush received 57% or 58,846,812.   In 1996, votes for Clinton only increased by 700,000 to 45,628,667.  Once again, Perot split the Republican vote.  Dole was a boring candidate, but even with Dole, the combination of Perot and Dole still received more votes than Clinton.  If the Republican vote had not been split in 1992 and/or 1996 by Perot, Clinton would have lost both elections. 

Compare Reagan to Clinton.  Votes for Reagan actually increased from 43,267,489 in 1980 by 7 million votes (10 times more than the increase for Clinton in 1996) to 53,428,357 in 1984.  

Why did Reagan do so well and Clinton did not?  Clinton increased taxes and Reagan decreased taxes.  Clinton tried to ram universal healthcare down the throats of America and Reagan decreased government programs.  Clinton decreased the military percent of spending and Reagan increased it.  Clinton gave America Able Danger and Reagan called the USSR an evil empire. 
Look at Carter in 1980 as a more appropriate forecast for Obama rather than Clinton in 1996.  Carter lost votes from 40,827,394 in 1976 to 34,964,583 in 1980 while the Republicans increased by almost 6 million votes.  If the same 6 million votes switch from Obama to Republicans in 2012, then Obama will lose the election at 52% to 47%.

So how can Obama be defeated?

1.  By getting out the truth.  The mainstream media will continue to bias its reporting so conservatives need to use alternate methods like World Net Daily and Atlah to get out the truth.  And conservatives need to scream discontent about Obama on every occasion on the mainstream media.  Republicans who compromise will hurt the conservative movement. 
2. By selecting a good candidate for President like Pence, Pawlenty, Petraeus, Christie,   Daniels, or even Cuccinelli (but not another Bob Dole) who is interesting, articulate, and has experience to fix the economy and cut government spending … and then select Marco Rubio as the Vice President candidate.
3. By pointing out how Obama has not brought transparency to government.  Where are his long form birth certificate, his passports, and his college documents? 
4. By pointing out how Obama has divided America by race, gender, and class and continually lied to America.  Don’t let America forget how Gates, Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Alinsky, and Soros have influenced Obama.  This is the most corrupt government in the history of the USA.
5. By fighting Obamacare in Congress and in the courts, fighting the czars, fighting all the increased taxes that are seen and are hidden.  And by making everything about Obama visible to America. 
6. By making any and all bailouts and/or earmarks visible to all Americans and stopping them. 
7. By providing good ideas on how to increase demand for American made products and to decrease foreign oil purchases by drilling for more oil and building more nuclear sites.
8. By pointing out how the USA is still in Iraq and Gitmo and how the USA is losing soldiers in Afghanistan at a rate that is much higher than it was in Iraq. 
9. By continually discussing how Obama spent $1.75 trillion with no results.
10. By being active.  Join your local Tea Party.  Attend national rallies in DC. Display bumper stickers and posters. Attend town hall meetings.  Be vocal.
11. By staying unified in defeating Obama.  No Ross Perots.  No independent candidates who split the conservative vote.        
12. And by forcing Democrats to justify how any and all of their actions are constitutional.

Conservatives need to challenge Obama about everything and in every way to beat him.  The media will not do it.
