There’s a lot of that going ’round on the left like the selection of Sen. Frank Lout, attempts to toss out votes in 2000, relying on ACORN’s necro-proxies, Stuart Smalley etc.

well it sounded like you and not rabid enough for TGC.

Sorry to disappoint. It was happy hour after work.

When trying to not look like an idiot, one usually does well to respond to the right person.

FAIL

(by the way, the answer to the question is commenter #5 who posted a link to bumper stickers comparing Obama to Bush)

Double FAIL

AE, guess you can’t answer the question then can you?

If liberals had no influence for decades, someone like you would still blame them for anything that went wrong.

V, I agree. If Bush pardoned Ramos and Compean it would gain him much goodwill. Of course the reason to do so is not that but because it is the only right and just thing to do in this case. But you already know that

“On the other hand, the current symbols of the GOP are the decidedly working class Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin.”

They may be the symbols but they are not running the party. You can correctly claim that Kennedy/Cuomo represent an elitist side of the Dems but to claim that the rank and file Dem voters think the same way holds less water. Which of course doesn’t matter because the voters get no say in this.

TGC, the Democrats are the party of elite privileged aristocracy … call them the lucky sperm club … and Princess Caroline is a symbol of that. And when you consider the main alternative … Andrew Cuomo … is also a member of that e-x-c-l-u-s-i-v-e club, you see where the Democrats come from.

And the media is the same way. To become an elite journalist, you have to work an unpaid internship for a major network or newspaper in one of America’s most expensive cities … New York, Washington, or Los Angeles. No one from a working c-l-a-s-s background can afford that. You have to come from money to make that happen. So, the journalistic e-l-i-t-e-s and the liberal political e-l-i-t-e-s come from a common strata of society

On the other hand, the current symbols of the GOP are the decidedly working class Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the concept that Joe Bigot wasn’t good enough to be POTUS (twice), but somehow is well qualified for VPOTUS. Still trying to figure out how Comrade Obama and Bigot are qualified to lead a johnny detail, but somehow Palin isn’t qualified for VPOTUS.

Still trying to figure out how Caroline Kennedy is qualified to be anymore than a punchline, at the most, and an oxygen thief, at the least.

Do try and keep up, Davy, lest you look like a complete idiot.

“The thing to remember is that Liberalism not only doesn’t work, but it makes things worse.”

The fact of the matter is that liberalism screws us every which way from Sunday. The depression, Vietnam, terrorism, Detroit, New Orleans, California, the housing kerfuffle, the “war on poverty”, the Mog etc. And yet, because liberals run our education system, we’re often doomed to repeat them again with the election of Comrade Obama.

It occured to me the other day that liberals love to claim that they have to clean up after Republicans. The fact is that Republicans have to clean up after liberals and then when they come in, they claim it was their idea all along.

The left was hardly right about Bush in any regard. And frankly, the idea that because Bush hasn’t pardoned Ramos and Campean makes him arrogant, elitist and guilty of cronyism is silly. As is comparing their case to Libby’s. If you remember activist judges were trying to completely ignore the custom of withholding punishment until after appeals, they wanted to force Libby to do time before his appeals were even heard, which would make a finding in Libbys favor moot since he would have already been punished. Easily a gross violation of justice and precedent. It is for this reason that Bush did not pardon Libby, but only commuted part of his sentence.

I tend to agree that without the crystal ball before us that unless something really messed up happens, Nobama will spend the next 4 years getting re elected and it is very rare for a sitting President to not get reelected.

LBJ didn’t run in 1968 and Ford was unelected and had Watergate to contend with and in 1992, Ross Perot split the vote with Bush 41 to let Clinton squeak by.

Given that I bet that Sarah Palin will be smart enough to wait until 2016 and Bobby Jindal has already says he isn’t running in 2012. Palin will run for reelection as Governor in 2010, serve her full term and then gear up after her term is up for 2016.

In the mean time, Nobama will do nothing for our community except take more campaign contributions and strip us of more money. I am praying we all survive the next 4 to 8 years of hell we are going to face in a totally screwed up economy and one foreign policy crisis after another.

In other campaign-related news, Chicago developer Tony Rezko, a former Obama associate and fundraiser, is convicted on corruption charges, but the press realizes that this is not an issue after Obama explains that it is not an issue.

On the other hand, Chairman 0 has the cult-like supports of the mass media, who now consider it their goal, as Chris Matthews put it, to “help him succeed.” Presumably, this means a continuation of the media campaign strategy of isolating Obama from scandals, ignoring his failures and lack of accomplishments, attacking his opponents full-bore, and slathering him with constant fawning praise.

It will be interesting to see if the electorate continues to fall for it.

and who exactly has made that claim? The answer to your second question is yes, here’s an example:

“The thing to remember is that Liberalism not only doesn’t work, but it makes things worse.”

To whom? We all saw it for months and months. The only ones who could possibly call it “mind-boggling” is those who couldn’t see past his black skin and the “D” after his name.

The only bright spot about the Warren/Obama controversy, which I’ve mentioned before, is that now we know where we stand with the new administration before it has even taken over the White House. As of today, Obama has told us by his actions, gays will not stand in the way of his political agenda–no matter how valid the argument.

He told everybody that all through the campaign. Where were these people?

If you’re already as disillusioned with Obama as I am, tell the world how you feel:

Soooo…..McCain really wasn’t Bush’s third term? That means Comrade Obama and his fellow sycophants lied, right?

And then there’s the absurd claim that Comrade Obama’s the same as Bush? Could there possibly be a more asinine assertion?

Quite possibly, yet Obama being the first black president introduces a variable that currently cannot be factored into this adequately. I personally think it will be enough to push him to victory in 2012. Well, that and GOP in-fighting on the national level. I do not expect Republicans to do enough to reform and attract enough voters at the next election.

If Republicans are able to take back control of either house, Obama will have someone to scapegoat in 2012. That will help him if things go poorly, but only to a point, and only if Republicans cant get their act together in opposition. On the other hand, it will help him if Republicans do take control and turn things around as it helped Bill Clinton in the 90’s. But if Democrats retain control, Obama will have nowhere to shift the blame.

Agreed but while this may have an impact on Congress I don’t believe it will for Obama’s re-election.

Actually I think he will take some action on ENDA and hate crimes – but that’s it. This is not to say that either will actually be signed into law due to the “gender identity” issue that could sink one or both of these. Yet Obama will get a pass for doing something and many gay libs will stick by him because at least he isn’t “anti-gay” like Bush & the GOP. I see no change in their mindset.

Yet an overwhelming majority vote Democrat every election cycle and will continue to do so in 2012, barring something REALLY major. The GOP will need a LOT more time than 4 years to repair that breach and siphon off enough votes from the black & Hispanic communities. I do not see that happening while Obama is in the White House. Some may come to realize that Obama isn’t what they thought he would be, but the GOP remains an unacceptable alternative – especially against the first black president. The DNC and MSM, combined with GOP incompetence, have done their job well in keeping minority voters beholden to the Democrats.

Congress, on the other hand, is a different matter entirely. I think the GOP has a good shot in 2012 and 2016 of gaining seats and possibly retaking one or both Houses.

God keep your nephews Leah, they have a tough but unfortunately necessary job ahead of them.
