The Democrats' Sinking Ship

Election 2010: The back-to-back Senate retirements of Byron Dorgan and Chris Dodd may be just the beginning. The people have seen the future of health care reform and found it doesn't work. Apres moi, le deluge.

We don't know what the Mayan calendar says about 2010, but it's starting to look like the end of the world for Democratic electoral prospects. Americans who watched in shock as government tried to step between them and their doctors, may have the last laugh. The tea party isn't over until the angry mob votes.

As rage grew over the attempt to nationalize one-sixth of the economy, Democratic prospects faded. Americans were not amused that the best health care in the world would be replaced with rationing. They were appalled at the secret deals and outright bribes to get the votes of Louisiana's Mary Landrieu and Nebraska's Ben Nelson.

Polls showed they liked their doctors and their insurance and could not understand why a program intended to insure everybody didn't do what it promised and was costly to boot. They could not understand the need for government bureaucrats and not their doctors to decide on the method of and necessity for their treatment.

So the political body count begins.

Dorgan, the junior senator from North Dakota, was the first Democratic incumbent to get out of Dodge, as early polls showed him 20 points behind popular GOP Gov. John Hoeven in a possible match-up.

He wouldn't be the last. Connecticut's senior senator, Chris Dodd, dubbed by critics "the senator from Countrywide Financial" for his sweetheart real estate deals, opted to retire to that famous Irish cottage of his.

"Blanche Lincoln’s emergence today decrying the Nebraska exception, is just one example of how the vulnerable ones know they’re toast. "

Lincoln has been living in DC for so long, she is totally out of touch with Arkansans. She and her OBGYN husband..along with their 12 year old twin boys are very much at home in suburban DC.

Like the Clintons and Huckabee, she has found greener pastures.

Arkansans don't forgive and forget so easily. Bye Bye Blanche.

The dems are going to steal it or die trying.

How uncharacteristic of a party for the people dedicated to the promotion of freedom in this good ol' USA. /s

They had better invest heavily in teleprompters so they don't verbally screw up and give up their gig.

Nah.

Call the the Phoenix of 2010.

It could happen in Massachusetts this month. Among likely voters, Coakley has only a two point lead. That's well within the margin of error. In a normal year in a Blue State, Democrats should be able to hold that seat in a walk. 2010 is shaping up to be anything but a normal year.

"As for hoping the Republicans do not blow it. THAT will depend on how serious we are about keeping the heat on. I never underestimate the stupidity of the Stupid Party."

I am certain that the RNC has indeed learned nothing, and in 2012 will field candidates of the quality of McCain and Scozzafava. About one week prior to the scumbag specter's return to the darkside, John Cornyn announced his support and endorsement of him. That was about a week after his ringing endorsement of Gov. Crist. Cornyn is one of the guiding lites of the RNC.

I heard there's a bill floating around congress now that would automatically register anyone with a driver's license or ID. It would be a Federal law and require states to do it.

Acorn had success with massive registrations of fictitious individuals, but still had to do something like 103% voter turnout in some districts.

If they can register everyone to vote, they can manufacture votes at will.

I also saw that they're pushing for allowing convicted felons to vote.

This definitely needs to be addressed, once we take America back.

2010 will indeed be a fabulous year for Republicans. Let’s just not blow it in 2011!!!!!!

They better be TEApublicans..

Immigration Reform.

ACORN

SEIUS

I think they feel they have reasons to be confident, if not of keeping their seats in November, at least in regaining them as they add 10 000 000 or so live newly ex illegal voters to the rolls and uncountable involuntary substitute, dead and fictitious ones.

Do not give up!

Obamacare will pass. So, too, will amnesty for criminal aliens and universal voter registration, which will add 20M new Dem voters. I am not optimistic about the 2010 election. ACORN and SEIU have already been promised $500M to ensure the Dems win. Until people get angry enough, the Dems will be locking-in a perpetual Marxist revolution here.

Hmmmm...what will that look like?

  Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, and Rep. Barney Frank, Massachusetts Democrat, have plans to ram through legislation that will produce universal voter registration. No matter what they claim, the rule changes will make it possible for illegal aliens to register to vote and for others to register multiple times. The proposal is to register everyone on every welfare list, everyone getting unemployment insurance, everyone with a driver's license, everyone who has had run-ins with the legal system, everyone owning any property - basically everyone on every list the government keeps. People will be registered to vote whether or...

The remnents of the Constitution might save us. I hope. It was set up for things to move slowly. Not like the hyperspeed modern age. Give it time and hope the banner still waves.

So true. Fanatical Kamikazis.

Let’s hope the Republicans don’t blow it in 2010!!
