With all of the hoopla and incessant media pandering to Barack Obama a simple fact remains that is the most powerful force in American politics -- the power of the silent majority. These are the Americans who with little fan fare consistently keep America on the safest and most secure course. Obama's radical internationalist views and plans to massively expand the scope and power of the Federal government are at odds with the patriotic silent majority who day after day go to work and raise their families. They do not respond well to pandering and can see through the cellophane thin resume of the current Democratic presumptive nominee. Obama is a straw-man for the media and the radical left and he will not survive the scrutiny and the wisdom of the American people. Thank you to the silent majority -- we are going to need you more than ever as the media has abandoned all illusions of objectivity and have embraced a candidate who gives them the chance to make the most money by selling snake-oil to the American people. WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS CHARADE SITTING DOWN!
DEFINITION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY
The silent majority is an unspecified large majority of people in a country or group who do not express their opinions publicly. The term was first used by the U.S. President Richard Nixon in a November 3, 1969 speech, where it referred to those Americans who did not join in the large demonstrations against the Vietnam War at the time, who did not engage in riots and attack police officers, who did not join in the counterculture, and who did not enthusiastically participate in public discourse or the media. Nixon along with many others saw this group as being overshadowed by the more vocal minority.
This majority referred mainly to the older generation (those World War II veterans in all parts of the United States) but it also described many young people in the Midwest, West and in the South, many of whom did eventually serve in Vietnam. The Silent Majority was mostly populated with the blue collar people who allegedly didn't have the ability or the time to take an active part in politics other than to vote. They did, in some cases, support the conservative policies of many politicians. Others were not particularly conservative politically, but resented what they saw as disrespect for American institutions.
Since Nixon, many conservatives have pointed to the silent majority as a force still ignored by the media, who, in the eyes of conservatives, focus generally on sensational activities of both parties to boost the media's own viewer ratings.

Major credibility gap? Now there's an understatement.
Come Election Day evening/night, Barack H. Obama and his minions, as well as his shills in the wrongly named "mainstream news media"--as well as his non-voting supporters in Europe and elsewhere--will find that the silent majority, in concert with the not-so-silent minority of the party once called Democratic, will have consigned the leftist, prevaricating empty suit from Chicago back to the Senate.
This is my hope, too. That that are lots of people out there who keep their mouths shut about Obama to avoid being abused, but once they're behind that curtain in the voting booth, they'll have no qualms voting against him. I KNOW there are African Americans out there who don't like him, but are keeping quiet for fear of being called a race traitor, but once in the voting booth, they will vote against him. I'm counting on that, but how can we prevent Obama and his sidekicks from stealing the election? I wouldn't put it past his people to throw away votes for McCain or have individual polling stations report fraudulent numbers.
Get rid of the electoral college.Have the congressmen and senators have terms in office same as the presidents.
Then let's have and election by American popular vote and see what happens ! I personally believe that all this posturing is a MAJOR RUSE !
I also believe that unless this government doesn't wake up and allow God back into decision making we are all in deep trouble !
