Democrats, Looking Past Obama, Are a Party Without a Cause
The New York Times ^ | 7/23/2016 | Jonathan Martin

PHILADELPHIA — When President Obama takes the stage here this week to begin his monthslong political farewell, it will mark a bittersweet moment for Democrats.

Mr. Obama is not going to be missed only because he is beloved by the faithful. The president has also fulfilled two longstanding if often elusive goals of his party: He has largely transcended the traditional moderate-versus-liberal split, papering over internal divisions. And he passed a sweeping health care law.

But without the unifying presence of Mr. Obama in the White House, or the organizing aim of expanding health care, it is unclear who will hold the party together and what will be the next great project of liberalism.

The final shovels of dirt on the United States' gravesite will be tossed gleefully by Clinton and Kaine.

These two are both zeros....which is exactly what Kaine's ACU voting record in the Senate shows.

they have a cause, destroy America and America’s economy, jobs, values, and defenses

and “transform” it into an IslamoNazi dictatorship

they’ve gotten 95% of that achieved already and only need to get the sold-out Hilliary into our WH to finish the job on us once and for all

also, Obama is continuing to rush more and more of his IslamoNazi young men, mostly of terrorist age, into cities and towns from Coast to Coast

Everything wrong with America in the last 50 to 100 years can be attributed to mostly the democrats and their statist agenda.

They doubled-down with 0bama and this nation is on the verge of ruin.

Their statist agenda has failed us all and their story needs to be told over and over again so that we may not go back to those failures.

Good examples of Democrat management and leadership are Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco. There are a host of other Democrat-ruined metro areas, but space will not permit the list.

Other examples of Democrat and liberal Republicrat leadership are the alphabet soup of bureaucrat laden agencies, a military that’s loaded with perversity and incompetence. Then there’s the supreme kort and the entire system of corrupted korts that are reeling out of control and moving away from the people and their Constitution at a most alarming rate.

The prime example is what the socialist Democrats are running for the nation’s top office(s): Clinton and Kaine. Both are dogs. Kaine has the worst history of leftist voting in the senate: 0.0! He hasn’t voted to uphold the Constitution once.

Yet we have these lousy RiNO senators who gushed over Hillary picking Kaine as her running mate. More like her running dog for the complete socialization of America.

Trump and Pence are the last gasping hope we have to regain control and pull this pitiful nation out of a Democrat and Republican bed of quicksand.

Exactly! One of this nation’s biggest problems is the leftist establishment owns the media and they will absolutely not report these or their own failures.

I agree, at least we have a chance with Trump-Pence.

Without a cause? Stupidest thing I've read all day. They ALWAYS have a cause and there's one thing that undergirds everything they do:

There are always unicorn farts and cow flatulence heating
up GLOBAL WARMING “concerns” and requiring a new
“focus group” to “debate” them.

Of course, the unicorn farts will win the contest. They are
LOUD!!
