What I post here will live on for years and I really think (and hope) that when this is reviewed in November 2012, these comments will still have merit. So here goes...
I am absolutely convinced that O'Bambi is a one-termer and that the demonRATS will suffer enormous defeats in both houses.
The Libyan fiasco has alienated his base. Leftists such as Michael Moore and Dennis Kucinich now see Zero as the second coming of George W. Bush. The usurper has lost his most passionate supporters.
The mushy middle is increasingly disenchanted with the hopelessness of his "change". In particular, the economy remains stuck in a quagmire and shows little (if any) chance of an uptick as the election approaches.
The right-thinking Americans detested this boy in a man's office from the outset. The fallacy of Obamacare and his ongoing advocacy of the Marxist and homosexual agendas only strengthen his opponents.
And I think that the "white guilt" factor which propelled the rookie's popularity will be far less of a factor come 2012.
Much like the aftermath of the Jimmy Carter years, I sincerely think that 2012 represents one of those once-in-a-generation opportunities for a Conservative revival. The utter and complete wreckage of the _resident will allow Republicans to throw out the RINOs and move sharply to the right, thus restoring a pro-God, pro-gun, pro-life, pro-military, liberty-loving Constitutional Conservative.
“will allow Republicans to throw out the RINOs and move sharply to the right”
Do you think it will allow them to move so far to the right that they actually approach the center?
The biggest question going into the election season in my mind is whether or not Obama is going to get a credible primary challenger, and whether it will be from the left or the right. Or both.
On the GOP side, anything can happen, of course, but I’d say it’s highly probable that if Sarah Palin runs, she wins the nomination, and that if she doesn’t, whomever she endorses does. If that is not correct and the nominee is Romney or similar, I think the GOP loses and could have serious downticket problems, even with disarray from the Dems. Otherwise, anyone who wins the GOP primary should be in a good position to win the general election, all the more so if Obama is battered in his primary or even manages to lose it.
The Tea Party needs to tell the GOP establishment in the house in no uncertain terms; start cutting the federal budget in big chunks or we are going third party. The RINOs like Kristol, if given any credence, will screw up a wet dream.
