Unfortunately, those two conditions were not only NOT met; we lost decidedly on them.
In the next year or two, Obama and the democrats will sponsor a comprehensive immigration reform bill, meaning amnesty, and they will get support from the GOP-E in the House and Senate.
After the bill passes, the democrats will add millions of votes to their constituency.
We’re dead, Jim.
Yup....a lot of people just don’t want to deal with this. We are in a different place with these new demographics than we have EVER been before. Forget past election cycles....they no longer apply.
In addition the Democrats are working to defund the GOP. Obama’s NLRB will allow card check for organizing companies. Thousands of companies will be organized in a short period of time and the compulsory union dues will be funneled into Democrat campaigns. Meantime as soon as the Dems get one more liberal on the Supreme Court they will overturn Citizens United and cut off all corporate contributions to campaigns. The Dems will benefit from billions in union money. The Republicans will be reduced to begging for $10 from individuals. You’ll see future Republican Presidential candidates forced to run on the $200 million in federal money while the Democrat candidate buys up the airways with over $1 billion to spend.
The fairness doctrine will be imposed on the media to kill conservative talk radio. The internet will also be regulated. Hate speech legislation will also be passed to silence opponents. By 2020 one party rule should be fully entrenched and we will be well on the way to becoming a third world hell hole.
