Do you remember a little thing called Watergate? People didnt hate Nixon so much as the GOP was being punished for Watergate. There was no way any Republican was going to win in the cycle following Watergate.
Not only do I remember it, I remember that the leftist narrative had not yet metastasized to the extent that it has today. There were still plenty of people who saw what the demonrats were up to.
Whenever the forces of darkness bring up Watergate, rational people should immediately come back with the facts. To wit:
Both parties wine and dine moneyed citizens as part of their efforts to obtain donations. They try to get the citizens head spinning by inviting him to any event that will put him in the company of the famous and powerful.
At that particular time, the demonrats had expanded this itinerary to include treating potential donors to the services of prostitutes, paid for out of DNC money. You know, Joe Sixpacks ten bucks that he contributed to have a voice in our representative republic.
That was a felony. Actually, each instance was a separate felony.
Some of Nixons subordinates, without his knowledge, decided to try and obtain documentary proof of this, with the intention of exposing the dims felonious behavior. Unfortunately for America, the people of South Viet Nam, and mankind in general, they were not practiced and proficient criminals. As one might have guessed, they made a hash of it.
Nixons subordinates, then, were guilty of conspiracy to expose multiple felonies involving the improper use of DNC funds to pay prostitutes.
When his subordinates finally told him the truth, Nixon decided it would be best to cover up this trifling indiscretion. This was entirely reasonable, in view of the heinous crimes that the media had covered up for Roosevelt, maybe Truman, certainly Kennedy and Johnson.
Later, they even covered up murder for a sitting president.
The demonrats, knowing that they had the media in their pocket, decided to lie, lie, lie, and spin, spin, spin, and artificially escalated this tempest in a teapot to the status of a (barf alert) constitutional crisis.
In 1976, there were still plenty of Americans who had their heads on straight. If the Stupid Party had dumped Ford and put Reagan up, they would most probably have won. Instead, they declared pre-emptive surrender, sent Ford out as their Judas goat, and quite simply ceded the election to the rats without firing a shot.
Now again, why did Bill Clinton win? It was because that idiot Daddy Bush had to violate his ironclad, irreversible, set-in-stone pledge Read my lips. No new taxes.
And the Republican Party let him get away with it. That doesnt strike you as stupid? There was another reason that the Bent One won: the Stupid Party proved itself the Cowardly Party as well, and put virtually none of Beelzebubbas many felonies before the public. Hell, they had enough on him to send him to prison for fifty consecutive life sentences, and they just kept their wussy little mouths shut and took it up the keister. Stupid.
So in neither case did the GOP run bad campaigns or run bad candidates.
In both cases the Stupid Party ran pathetic campaigns and bad candidates. Come on, Ford was a good candidate? A president who just stabbed America in the back is a good candidate?
In both cases, the GOP was poison for that cycle, due to errors by the incumbent GOP presidents.
Road apples. They failed to get better candidates, and they fought those campaigns with a tiny fraction of the energy the demonrats always bring to bear.
Looking at it more deeply, I would say BOTH parties lost power in every cycle since Nixon, because the incumbent president always made some mistake they were punished for.
Many of Clintstones high crimes and misdemeanors occurred in his first term. Why didnt he lose?
What matters more than facts are the leftist narratives of events, and how many people are taken in by them.
In 2008, Baby Bush alienated the GOP base by doubling the national debt in 8 years and growing government by leaps and bounds. GOP voters punished him by not turning out in adequate numbers.
Bush didnt run in 2008. Stupid Party voters punished the Stupid Party for choosing a candidate famous for turning his coat more often than a fashion model. Sure, Sarah Palin got him more votes than he would have received without her, but they made sure not to let her be herself. Had they let her be herself, they might have won.
In 2000, Clinton alienated the Democratic base who were sick of his perverted antics with the entire Lewinski affair.
But Gore almost won, if you ignore the massive election fraud. How does that show that the demonrats were alienated? (BTW, the Lewinski affair was a diversion to draw the eye away from his actual treasonous felonies.)
They may have hated Ken Starr
They may have pretended to hate Ken Starr, but that traitor gave the first black-hearted president a pass on a number of things that should have had him rotting in a cell today.
but make no mistake, the Democrat voters punished the Democrat party for Clintons horndog antics.
I dont think its a mistake to deny that. Demonrats dont object to adultery, fornication, sodomy, drug use, or even murder, just so long as they can count on a politician to walk the country to the left. Clinton didnt do anything that the demonrat voters object to.
If the stupid party was so stupid, then why is it that Daddy Bush got elected in 1988. That happened because the nation was rewarding Ronald Reagan for doing a stellar job of cleaning up Carters economic mess, and taking down the Soviet Union.
They werent smart enough to see that he was a weather vane who would stab us in the back, were they? In as much modesty as I can muster, I was, and so were many of my friends and acquaintances.
And how did Reagan win in 1980? He won because Carter was a buffoon who made a string of mistakes like losing Iran to the Mullahs, the worst of which was the malaise of Stagflation during which most people experienced the worst economy in 25 years. The voters punished Carter for incompetence.
Reagan won by going straight to the voters and explaining himself, and then keeping his word. Reagan won because he had greatness in him, and the vast majority of us could see it. Bob Dole would have lost to Carter.
Now Obama has presided over the first economic depression since 1940
The Bamturd turned a recession into a depression, just as FDR did before himand, risibly enough, by following exactly the same policies.
This logic is simple and obvious.
Logic is a tool, like a hammer or a screwdriver. It can lead you to either the correct or an incorrect answer, without any flaw in logic at all.
And even the worst mistakes by the stupid party wont save Obama from being punished by a weary electorate that is terrified about the economy.
I hope you are correct.
Jim Demint.
A weak man.
Santorum
A weak man.
Romney will be a certain disaster ala Juan McLame.
I thought you said the Stupid Party was certain to win.
The only reason there’s even a polling disadvantage for Obama is that he hasn’t seriously started to run yet. He’s just sitting back letting the GOP destroy itself and reduce the field to a choice between two complete loser candidates (Romney or Santorum).
He’ll emerge with his hope, change and freebies rhetoric, and lots of photos of him doing cute things like singing or appearing on American Idol, and his groupies will fall in love with him all over again.
Also, we’re thinking that people don’t want Obamacare and we are making its defeat a major part of our focus. The problem is that most Americans are very happy with the idea of Obamacare (they won’t be happy when it’s actually put into operation, but that will be after his reelection). Most Americans, I am convinced, want a welfare state and they want state-run health care and they are perfectly willing to give up their freedoms to a nanny-state. And of course they’re convinced now that Obama is going to make only “the wealthy” (whoever they may be) pay for this, so it’s no skin off their collective noses.
Even businesses now are not averse to Obama, because they see that it is now within the government’s power to reward them or favor them or even establish them and they simply want to be on the inside circle when the goodies are handed out. In a Marxist or fascist state, the government controls every aspect of the economy, and the business world has accepted this.
So I don’t think Obama would have much difficulty at all getting reelected once his campaign gets going. He’s just waiting to see what loser we put forth for the GOP (and frankly, both Romney and Santorum are big-government people, so if it’s either of them, there won’t even be any competing ideas).
I read your entire diatribe. You are entitled to your opinion. You have not changed mine.
I am convinced Obama is toast and it doens’t matter who the GOP run against him. Obama is history. He will do much damage in the meantime.
We’ll also be lucky if the new GOP president gets a 2nd term. Well see how bad the economy is broken when 2016 rolls around.
If so, count on a Democrat worse than Obama retaking the reigns in 2016 as the destruction of America marches on, hopefully without Obamacare.
