And you’re right, ILC. The clock is ticking. The liberals might be able to get past the mid-term elections by blaming a dismal economy on the one Obama “inherited” from Bush, but I don’t think they’ll be able to pull it off after four years of pure financial nosedive. They have this small window of time to steer the ship and fu*k everything up royally, and then the grown-ups will have to come back in and try to clean-up the huge bloody mess they will leave. This Democratic majority will be short-lived and the liberals can handle that because as with all of their calculated plans, this one has the usual fail safe for contingencies–if Obama has to leave the White House after only one term, well then his failure will be explained by those mean old Republicans not giving his agenda a chance to “succeed” or “get off the ground.” Same liberal playbook. Same plays. Over and over again.

Conservative ideas succeed when they are implemented and bring about the change desired. Liberal ideas “succeed” when a liberal wins an election. For them, it’s all about power, so it doesn’t matter if their “ideas” actually work. The “desired result” is the winning of the election and the acquisition of power itself. Liberal ideas “work” because Obama was elected.

Sean A, that’s very well put. Of course, when the 20% inflation rates hit in a few more years, liberals will be losing elections. (Assuming America hasn’t degenerated to the point of having a total death wish, which is a real possibility IMHO.)

It’s fun to see liberals so prickly about Obama – so defensive right now – so very, very hypocritical and contorted. They know that their Dear Leader has the nation on a path to ruin. They have to forestall anybody else noticing – and saying it.

Either Democrat, Republican or Independent, when someone wishes the elected President of the United States of America to fail, one must question that person’s Patriotism. – Tom, USN Ret

That would be the same person(s) who wanted your fellow swabbies, Marines, soldiers etc. to fail in Iraq.

Good idea Tom! Let’s have a ticker tape parade for those who openly advocated the defeat of your pards. Jeezus! Why didn’t I think of that? I mean, nothing says “patriotic” like demanding the defeat of our own military.

You must be really really really really really smart!

The GOP won’t win back Congress unless it gets over this fear of not being liked by the DNC MSM. As I decided early on in life, if I’m going to be good at what I do, I don’t care who likes or doesn’t like me.

Or in Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” they were the sheep. Four legs good, two legs baaa-d. Keep it short and simple for the stupid ones.

You know, like when the unwashed masses yelled “hope and change” without knowing exactly what it meant.

But I’m sure that, even though Obama has decided not to repeal the Patriot Act, he won’t mind at all when you telephone your terrorist friends overseas.

So you don’t agree with the current sec of state that dissent is patriotic?

torrentprime’s quote once again illustrates the difference between liberal ideas and conservative ideas. Conservative ideas succeed when they are implemented and bring about the change desired. Liberal ideas “succeed” when a liberal wins an election. For them, it’s all about power, so it doesn’t matter if their “ideas” actually work. The “desired result” is the winning of the election and the acquisition of power itself. Liberal ideas “work” because Obama was elected. Conservative ideas were forever discredited because McCain lost the election.

Similarly, Obama must spend trillions so that no one will notice the billions he’s giving to ACORN and other community organizers. He had to thank them but he couldn’t be too obvious. “Billions” seems like a piddlin’ amount when you’re talking about spending trillions, doesn’t it.

Just my theory. Or he may actually be trying to destroy America so that he can remake it to his liking, then lead it magnificently, who knows.

who spent more than the entire cost of SEVEN YEARS of war in Iraq and Afghanistan in just one MONTH.

I believe it was Karl Rove in today’s WSJ who said that within 10 months, Chairman Obama will outspend the ENTIRE 8 years of Bush.
