Obama And The Dems Are Counting On Pat Buchanan To Be Wrong

I think Pat’s right on the money. I think whites from coast to coast are getting fed up being blamed for black America’s failures.

[Zathras]

Normally I’d say Pat was full of it but I remember watching the riots in the 60-70’s.
It seemed cool to walk out of class along with college students.
Until they started burning down cities.

The main difference today also is the 24 hour news cycle and coverage.

[CyberAnt]

I agree .. but I think we’ve been fed up for a lot longer than Pat claims.

After 5 years of this liberal nonsense, based on ignorant lunacy .. I’ve had enough.

Time for the juveniles to be replaced by adults who have a clue what’s going on in the world.

Sincerely, I don’t believe America needs any more riots, murders, invasions, etc. I think we already DONE.

[MichaelCorleone]

I disagree. Assuming it doesn’t last for more than a couple of weeks, the Nov elections are too far away. By then all this will be a distant memory and the political fallout from Ferguson will be minimal.

What will get everyone to the voting booth is the last six years of fundamental transformation. We all know that America has become the laughingstock of the world and we are but a shadow of what America was only 30 years ago.

“The main difference today also is the 24 hour news cycle and coverage.”

Bingo. Unlike during the 60’s, 70’s when you only saw what was going on the nightly news on the alphabet stations, now you see the Ferguson antics 24 hours a day/nite. You see so much that the silent majority is being saturated with the clown show in Ferguson, with plenty of time to get thoroughly disgusted with it all. I’m with Buchanan on this one, as I have felt exactly the same for a long time now.

Richard Nixon was elected in a massive rout in 1968

"Massive rout," my butt. Nixon took 43.4% of the popular vote versus Humphrey's 42.7%, with Wallace taking the rest. Since when is 43.4% a "massive route"? Since when is a 0.7% difference between the winner and the runner-up called "massive"? Since when is having 56.7% of the voters vote *against* you a "massive rout"? Sheesh.

He's obviously confusing it with the 1972 election.

“What will get everyone to the voting booth is the last six years of fundamental transformation. We all know that America has become the laughingstock of the world and we are but a shadow of what America was only 30 years ago.”

Yes, but Ferguson is part of this fundamental transformation, as without Obama/Holder having their black backs, this baloney in Ferguson would be 1/10th of what it has turned into. In fact, it is being egged on by this Obama regime. So what you say above is dead on but part of it are these Ferguson riots. It’s cumulative, and tucked back in the recesses of the silent majority’s collective minds, is a Ferguson compartment, and it all adds up.

The results will be confirmed during the midterm elections. My one caveat is demographics. At some time you reach a tipping point, and we may be very nearly there. All it will take is a significant enough amount of white disaffected voters who stay home or won’t vote Republican to spoil the broth. However, as I have stated, many Dems don’t come out for mid-terms, unless they too have been riled up by Ferguson enough to actually show up at the polls.

Dont underestimate the affects of Ferguson, for bad or for good. It’s only a little over 2 months until the mid-term elections. That’s not that far away, and these stand-offs/protests in Ferguson have a way to go before they will be over. We haven’t even got to the funeral yet for Big Mike. That ought to be a big spectacle for the folks.

People have short memories. One account of "W"'s re-election in 2004 is that it was a reaction to the Massachusetts Supreme Court decision Goodridge v. Dept. of Public Health (2003) forcing through sodomite pseudo-marriage.

GAY MARRIAGE: Did issue help re-elect Bush?

Now, with less than 3% of the population homosexual, the elites have got their clutches thoroughly around the public weal.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Buchanan, in an interview with the Daily Caller today, predicted that the violence in Ferguson and the perceived enabling of race hustlers and leftist revolutionaries there will generate a massive negative reaction by America’s “silent majority” at the polls in November.

Buchanan has been predicting the same sort of "massive negative reaction" for the better part of three decades now. He's wrong, as usual - the events in Ferguson are of interest to the major media organizations, political bloggers, the Washington Beltway, and absolutely no one else. The Senate will be won or lost based on economic concerns - no one will even remember the Ferguson shooting or the resulting riots.

Thanks for digging up the exact numbers on 1968. I was sure that “massive rout” was way off, and you’ve confirmed that.

This isn’t just dissing someone for misspelling a candidate’s name or the like. Your historical correction really blows the author’s whole thesis out of the water.

Many white Americans voted for Obama in hopes of buying racial peace in America.

Instead of being the uniter he claimed to be, Obama has been the most divisive, race baiting President in American history.

The knock out game has been slapping middle class America out of their apathetic slumber.

The events in Ferguson are going to be a gut punch to force Americans to realize the damage Obama is doing.

[Pollster1]

Obama and the rest of America’s enemies aren’t just counting on Ferguson as another political Trayvon moment for their base, they are polling on it. If this fails, they will try the next item on their list. The war on women failed. The minimum wage failed. Immigration failed. They are hoping the latest Sweet Baby Trayvon will motivate their low-information voters. This is likely to fail too, and they know it, but they are desperate. I imagine they already have the next trial balloon ready for when they decide this isn’t enough either.

[MinuteGal]

Excellent and important thread. Should be read by all.

Richard Nixon was elected in a massive rout in 1968

301 EV, 43.4% of the popular vote, 511,944 popular vote margin.

Not a "massive rout" by any stretch of the imagination.

[Jim Noble]

The war on women failed

Untrue. The War on Women™ has never failed in a campaign where it has been used.

Certainly it transforms the issue - but to the extent that it does, wouldn’t you say that it blows up Pat Buchannan’s thesis - not the thesis of the author of this piece, which is that Pat Buchannan is wrong?

OTOH if you consider that most of George Wallace’s votes probably came out of the hide of Richard Nixon - he of the “infamous Southern Strategy” - you might take Pat Buchannan’s slant on the 1968 result.

They tried to get it going this year, and most independent women yawned. Even liberal women didn’t care enough to say they would vote. “War on Women” is polling as a particularly weak issue this year.
