No.
That is when we need a strong leader the most.
It is a case of, "How can we possibly..."
A Tea Party president or even a conservative one is a pipe dream.
So we should allow things to hit rock bottom, and then try again in 2020 or 2024 for the presidency????
So there is nothing a GOP president can do, to alleviate the situation, if elected in 2016?
You mean, no we shouldn’t?
True enough. However, if we elect a dim-bulb-crat, the MSM druids will continue to lie such that whatever happens will be concealed or the blame transferred.
And the public, being primarily schooled by education majors in our pubic (misspelling intended) schools, will march in lockstep into oblivion.
And the gays, of course, will do nothing except continue to be concerned with nothing other than who they’ll boink tonight...while simultaneously demanding that we close any business that actually tells them what most of us actually think.
I don’t see it happening.
Too much ideological and political bulimia going on.
This seems like a real possibility unless a good leader could really start to turn things around,which is badly needed. I guess the real question is whether or not a good leader could accomplish enough in a short enough period of time. This current “leadership” has certainly fouled the nest for everyone.
Even if the left held all three branches of government for the next 10 years and things went to hell in a handbasket. They would STILL blame the Republicans, or the rich, or the Koch brothers, or Rush, or basically anyone but themselves. And since the media will amplify whatever message the left chooses to use. The gullible majority will believe the that everything is still somehow the evil republicans fault, or at least the evil rich peoples fault who the Republicans protect.
No, this won't work as a strategy. Plus and perhaps most important... dont forget about the Supreme court. Several of our conservative judges are getting up there in age... and we honestly cant afford to lose even one.
No, the media will blame Republicans or conservatives no matter what.
The masses will demand a government that will take care of them so we'll likely end up with open Marxism (vs. the secretive variety we "enjoy" today.)
Should have said...
Yes, we dare. Let’s have our 2014 tsunami first.
No, don’t listen to this. The zero has a couple of years to increase the damage and he will. Four more years gives us a likely 8 more years. Plenty of time for the beast to finish us off.
Well, according to this line of thinking, I’m sure there could be some things such a leader could do to lessen the severity of it all, but not enough to avert calamity nor to be seen as other than the chief culprit, as described. Of course, it is just a theory. It may be accurate, it may be not. But I don’t think anyone can plausibly argue that the $70 trillion ( or whatever ungodly amount it is) in unfunded liabilities we face is something that’s just going to be inconsequential.
Detroit is crumbling into the ground and the left (which has been in total control there for 50+ years) STILL blames the rich, the greedy corporations, the Republicans, or who ever.
The left will NEVER, EVER, no matter how bad things get, EVER, blame itself or it's policies for anything.
Thanks for clarifying.
Sorry about that. Please see my clarification posted to myself RE my trigger reaction/blunder. Thanks :)
:)
The Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) will blame Republicans no matter who is actually “in charge”. Better to actually have some prayer of heading off or minimizing the coming damage than try to earn political points that won’t come anyway.
Not if it ain’t a conservative.

Well Said, we could even have a “Galt’s Strike Rebellion” and the Blame would ALL be placed on the Galts.
