IF THE DEMOCRATS HAD PUT FORTH A CANDIDATE THAT WAS EVEN HALF-WAY OR REASONABLY QUALIFIED; THAT EVEN HAD SCINTILLA OF LOVE FOR AMERICA, HE OR SHE WOULD BE WINNING THE 2012 PRESIDENCY GOING AWAY!!!
The Socialists’ post turtle turned out to really believe he was as special as they said he was. That was their grievous error.
They had it all. In 2008, the Democrats controlled all branches of the federal government, including a filibuster-proof super majority in the Senate. The Democrats could push anything they wanted into law.
What they wanted was Obamacare. The problem was that no one else wanted it.
Yep, it’s like they won the lottery, but blew it on gambling, drugs, and whores.
Am I the only one on here that doesn’t count chickens before the eggs hatch? I agree, but damn, wait till the votes are counted.
WARNING: Its not over till the fat journalist chokes on the scum in her throat..
Obama was the best thing that could have happened to this country at that point in history. He woke up a whole lot of people who would otherwise still be fast asleep.
The only upside is that:
1) more than likely you will never see another black man elected president in our life time. Didn’t Lincoln warn us about this folly?
2) the DemoRat party is an ink spot in history. TOAST !
My concern is where will they go now that they’ve discovered their party is now ruled by socialist, commie Nazi’s thugs?
Bittersweet indeed.
I’m going independent after the election only because the GOP will also be flooded with RINO’s, special interests and entitlement storm troopers.
The Dems went with somebody they thought could win, and he did win. One reason he won is that he didn't have much of a record. He never really had to shoulder the responsibilities that other politicians have to deal with -- and often fail to deal with, ruining their careers.
So, sure, when Obama got in and had to deal with real problems, he failed, but who was the great Democrat who would have changed everything for them? Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Dean, Kucinich -- could any of them have won and made a decent president? Not so likely.
I guess Hillary would have been the other choice. Probably -- with all that was going on in the Fall of 2008 -- she would have won the election, but how good a president would she have been?
Like I said during the primaries when everyone was talking about the great (non-existent) conservative candidate who could have trounced Romney and then Obama: you can't beat somebody with nobody.
Yep. If they’d had enough sense to nominate even Hillary (who I can’t stand BTW) instead, she’d probably be cruising to reelection this year. But nooo, they just had to push the Kenyan clown on us.
Yep. They could have had it all. They even show liberal cartoons in which the conservative can't even think of one reason to oppose their ideas except for racism. But, nope, the liberals just had to endanger all of humanity (global warming) just so they could vote for the black guy and be cool. Bunch of racists.
