How is all this possible when less than 3 yrs ago, every pundit crowed that the repubs would be lost in the wilderness for the next 40 yrs?
Tea Party. Scared the living shit out of the establishment Repubs, and were (and continue to be) completely discounted and ignored by the Democratic Party. Naive academics with no private sector experience heading the White House and cabinet positions has been a fucking disaster. Love them or despise them, they have completely changed the political dynamic in the country. When people are scared and feeling vulnerable, they tend to get back to basics. And watching the European socialist welfare state implode has really crippled the Democratic Party message. All of this has been demonstrated in the only place that truly matters at the end of the day: elections. Since Scott Brown, the Democratic Party has suffered a series of historic setbacks over an extended period of time. A consistent, obvious, factual trend. All of this is apparent to the entire universe, save AK-47 and Pee Drinker. Even Ricter has the good sensibility to avoid the cliff edge and refrain from delusional hyperbole.
And all of these commentators have been completely in the bag for Obama since day one. The MSM is just more lucid than AK-47 at this point in time. AK is delusional.
Obama himself is one of those dolts saying Obama is one and done: âThe odds of me being reelected are much higher than the odds of me being elected in the first place,â Obama told a group of Washington D.C. fundraisers on Thursday night. That was meant to reassure Democratic donors rather than scare the bejeezus out of them. He may have accomplished the latter. Obama has said on numerous occasions that he is perfectly content with serving a single term in the White House. Obama told NBC News in June that there are moments âwhere I say that one term is enough.â He famously declared in 2009 that if he did not have the economy turned around in three years that his presidency would be a âone term proposition.â Now rumors emanating from unnamed White House sources are suggesting that the presidentâ political failures have left Obama on the verge of clinical depression. A Gawker article from September 12 suggested that Obama âhas seemed increasingly listless to associates.â http://www.ology.com/politics/obama-may-not-run-second-term
The only groups who despise the Tea Party are (1) DemoCraps/Liberals, and (2) Big Government Republicans (DemoCraps-lite). The ONLY hope for America's future is to embrace the Tea Party... as they (we) embrace the genius principles of the Founding Fathers. Yes, I admit to a political affiliation... The Tea Party... DemoCraps are SHIT... Big Government Republicans (DemoCrap-lite) are also SHIT! Ron Paul is the BEST candidate for America's future. (And you all should know by now, I'm not an emotional, herd-following, partisan dipshit who blindly supports an ideology... other than the original intentions of the Founders.) And speaking of "The Principles of the Founders".. where did they come up with the "Constitution" and "Bill of Rights"? They observed and noted all of the HORSESHIT that governed Europe of prior CENTURIES.. and drafted principles/rules/guidelines to PREVENT ALL THAT SHIT FROM HAPPENING HERE! Yet, we've greedily morphed into most of it. Are the politicians so corrupt/greedy... and are so many of the hoi polloi so lazy/greedy that all they can conceive is "how can I get more something for nothing"? Can't we EVER pull our greedy/collective heads out of our asses and stand up for what made America great?
People simply do not want to believe what is obvious - they filter everything through their own internal biases and self-interests. Humans simply do not want to acknowledge facts. I mean, the five inches between a person's ears is what makes a trader. Fact: election results from Scott Brown to NY-9 have been historical and unprecedented. Fact: Tea Party candidates and incumbents are incredibly diverse: Women, Blacks, Hispanics. But the MSM has real issues simply calling a fact a fact.
The Brooklyn Paper reported: Assemblyman David Weprin is blaming President Obama for his stunning 54â46 percent loss to former television executive Bob Turner on Tuesday, claiming that he would have won the southern Brooklyn district if the Commander in Chief was doing a better job â yet many say the Democrat sunk his own ship with several campaign missteps, as well as his refusal to shave off his 1970s-style mustache. â[The election] turned into a referendum of the President and I was an unfortunate consequence,â Weprin (DâQueens) said during a Monday-morning quarterbacking session with this paper on Wednesday. âIf this election happened when the presidentâs poll results were better, I could have turned this around.â It would have been quite a feat: Weprin lost the Brooklyn side of the bi-borough district â with just 33 percent of borough voters pulling the lever for him â in the fight for disgraced Rep. Anthony Weinerâs seat. As the final numbers were tallied, Weprin was trailing by more than 4,000 votes on both sides of the district. Weprin called Turner to concede the special election and congratulate his opponent on Wednesday morning. The victor acknowledged the Presidentâs role in the election, according to Turner. âHe said âThe election wasnât about you or me. It was beyond both of us.â â Weprin recalled. Calls to the Turner campaign were not returned on Wednesday, but during his victory speech, Turner said his win proved that voters have âhad itâ with the Presidentâs âirresponsible fiscal policiesâ and his âtreatment of Israel.â
He should have asked Kathy Hochul for advice on how to run a campaign http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/25/nyregion/democrat-capture-house-seat-in-special-election.html Democrat Wins G.O.P. Seat By RAYMOND HERNANDEZ Published: May 24, 2011 Democrats scored an upset in one of New Yorkâs most conservative Congressional districts on Tuesday, dealing a blow to the national Republican Party in a race that largely turned on the partyâs plan to overhaul Medicare. The results set off elation among Democrats and soul-searching among Republicans, who questioned whether they should rethink their partyâs commitment to the Medicare plan, which appears to have become a liability heading into the 2012 elections. Two months ago, the Democrat, Kathy Hochul, was considered an all-but-certain loser in the race against the Republican, Jane Corwin. But Ms. Hochul seized on the Republicanâs embrace of the proposal from Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, to overhaul Medicare, and she never let up. On Tuesday, she captured 47 percent of the vote to Ms. Corwinâs 43 percent, according to unofficial results. A Tea Party candidate, Jack Davis, had 9 percent. Voters, who turned out in strikingly large numbers for a special election, said they trusted Ms. Hochul, the county clerk of Erie County, to protect Medicare.
