Where’s that black vote going to go? Is it going to Perry?
You are talking about the most corrupt and easily bought off group in the country. They are cheaper to hold than the unions are, I can tell you that.
No one’s dumping Obama. Obama dumped himself. There isn’t much dispute about this within their dysfunctional coven of infant-sacrificers.
The only question is whether Obama’s willing to repay the service to the party that put him in the job.
Either he goes quietly, or the party pays eternally when he decides he’s riding the gig all the way to the bottom, and doesn’t care who’s on the sub with him as it reaches hull crush depth.
His internals will be in the high 20’s by December, even if he’s possessed by Ronald Reagan and completely reverse the course of the country. He’s out of time and he knows it.
Really, this is the only question. Does he go quietly?
Hillary’s going to run. Her party will call her to do it against her protestations. Snakehead’s already doing a subtle ‘John the Baptist’ impression for her on the morning talk show circuit.
They are going to give him until Christmas, when DC clears out, and then he either makes the LBJ speech or he doesn’t. If he doesn’t, he’ll have a primary challenger.
I see what you are saying, but it doesn’t address the point: establishment white liberals have patronized black democrats for so long that they can’t credibly run the first black president out of office.
It’s also just as likely that after four years of a milestone like Obama, a majority of voters will want to go back to a traditional white guy as president.
The first ‘First Black President’ experiment has failed. Boring, white guy president is very likely to be just what the doctor ordered in 2012.
After that, who knows?
Oh, I’m sure they are going to argue with all of that, and the embarrassment of Obama being the ‘Great Black Hope’.
In the end, nobody is going to risk their seat to defend the guy, campaign for him, endorse him, etc.
The very dangerous part of all this is that the current situation is pretty fixable, and folks are sick to death about worrying over someone elses sensibilities, be they black, green, Muslim, or whatever. Democrats know this.
We could put thousands to work by calling off the EPA and letting the oil and mining companies go to work. Most R’s could get reelected by dismantling Obamacare all by itself.
It’ll be each vulnerable congresscritter vs. carrying Obama’s reputation. By the time we’re done, Hillary will not only be the first female President, she’ll also be the first honorary black female President.
You may be right, and their party is as stupid as ours. My observation, however, is that we are stupid both in office, and in trying to obtain the office. They are outstanding at obtaining and retaining power. They are cunning at getting their agenda through, and only stupid when it comes to pandering, and who gets first dibs.
Clinton and the homos, for example.
People who think the PIAPS will/should run forget what she looks like now.
I don’t see this scenario happening, but what I do see is the D party working a plan with Hillary where she will take the VP seat (Biden will have something ailing him or has another commitment or something like that), and if they win the 2012 election with an Obama - HClinton ticket, the D party will then do something to have Obama removed, moving Hillary up. That is more in tune with the Hillary that wants to keep her entire Democrat party in tow, keep ALL of them on her better side and without losing some who might otherwise see her as ousting their representative... It gives Hillary a good public appearance and still gives her what she would like as an end result anyway with just a few additional months.
That is what I more see, but then again, I don’t have perfect eyesight either. :)
They can pressure him to step down. But what if he won't go?
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung.
Dangit, I just can’t stay mad at her! Tell you what, I’ll let her wine and dine me and try to convince me of the virtues of Hillary Clinton, but she’ll have to pick up the tab.
“Plus she dumped me from her Facebook friends list.”
Just call her a lesbian over your shoulder as you walk away into the cold, empty void of cyberspace, man.
Maybe I was wrong about all people who use air quotes being d-bags after all....
It would give all the wymen a place to go and if obama discovers he has a “series illness” {to be miraculously cured after the election and he gets appointed to Sphincter-General of the UN} and he pimped for the bitch, all the brothas and sistas would get in line with her.
This is something a lot of us watching over here actually expect to happen. She was tough and dangerous enough as a possible opponent when she was just a senator - now she has had political experience in probably the most important post in government? She’ll be lethally hard to beat without all of the right pulling together.
The dems have gone down with the ship before. Wait and see.
“drifted too far to the right” - tee hee, that’s funny
LOL. Reality check!
Please tell me that ain’t so. I always assumed a lot of those statements were hyperbole simply to make a point. At these early stages, it makes sense to support your preferred candidate with everything you got.
I missed the 08 election on here (had no internet for nearly a year, it was a tough time in our terrible economy and the luxuries had to go for a bit) but really, if people are foolish enough to REALLY take their ball and go home, they get the govenment they deserve. Shame for the rest of us though ....
Independence of mind, opinion and self is great, and something conservatives do well naturally. The left understands the power of united action. Watch how a large mammal fares against a school of pirahna for an appropriate illustration.
