RNC Co-Chair: 2012 is Most Important Election in “Nation’s Lifetime.”
Fort Lauderdale resident Sharon Day, the Republican National Committee Co-Chair, noted that elections are often referred to as the most important of one’s lifetime.
In welcoming delegates to the Tampa Bay Times Forum on Tuesday afternoon, Day declared the 2012 Presidential contest the “most important election in our nation’s lifetime.”
She called on “citizen activists” to fight for the restitution of values of the Founding Fathers.
“In 1775 our Founding Fathers rose up to establish our liberty. Today we need to defeat a president whose actions threaten our liberty. In this way we are in a similar position to our Founding Fathers.
“Just as they were called up, we are being called upon.
“What they started, what they believed in, we must now defend.
“The danger is already here. It’s in the form of the Democrat leaders in Washington.
“We have a Democrat Senate leader who refuses to meet his moral obligation to pass a budget for our government.
“We have a Democrat House leader who wouldn’t allow a major piece of legislation, Obamacare, to be read before it was passed. She stated, and I quote, ‘We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it.’
“We have a president that has bypassed the Senate confirmation process to appoint un accountable czars to make and enforce policies on America’s citizens.
“A president by his executive action has changed immigration laws and imposed unconstitutional regulations on our states and issued overreaching regulations.”

"most important election in our nation’s lifetime" - who's she kidding?
Guess this truthiness statement just goes to highlight her apparent lack of a viable public history education. Maybe she was just home schooled.
How can this be a more important election than the:
1 - First Presidential race, demonstrating that democracy could work?
2 - Third Presidential race, demonstrating that democracy could continue to work in a contested election after the nation's icon retired?
3 - Election of Jefferson in 1800, proving that an elected President could be voted out of office and a transfer of power peacefully occur?
4 - Election of Andrew Jackson and birth of the Democratic Party in a bitter election against a sitting President?
5- Lincoln's first election in a country divided by slavery?
6- Lincoln's second election in the midst of the Civil War amd a fight for the country's soul.
7 - Roosevelt's first election and the start of the "New Deal" recovery from the depression?
8 - Roosevelt's 2nd, 3rd and 4th elections during times of world war?
9 - JFK's election during a time of Cold War?
10 - Reagan's election and the rise of conservatism?
Really, this election is more important?
Maybe someone needs to go back and get her remedial history education by actually reading history, and stop assuming she can actually obtain historical insight by viewing all those Mike Huckabee history CD's and reading those "Tea Party" approved David Barton history textbooks coming out of Texas that excuse slavery and demonize/remove Thomas Jefferson.
So place her statement, again, clearly within the politics of the "Big Lie" and more Republican truthiness.
