Obama is killing the Democratic Party
WaPoo ^ | 7 Jun 2012 | Jennifer Rubin

President Obama, I have frequently argued, has been fabulous for the conservative movement. He spurred the creation of the tea party. He helped the GOP win the House majority in 2010 and make big gains in the Senate. His Obamacare has helped revive the Commerce Clause and given a boost to conservative jurisprudence. His refusal to support human rights has caused a bipartisan revulsion and reminded us that foreign policy must be girded by American values. He’s sent independents running into the GOP’s arms. He’s forced conservatives to think hard and express eloquently principles of religious liberty, limited government, free markets and Constitutional democracy.

We shall not know this is a serious thing for the Democratz until the Congressional delegation (including the Black Caucus) marches en masse down Pennsylvania Avenue, shows up at the front door of the White Hut, and demands the Current Occupant resign.

Nevah happen, GI.

Rubin shouldn’t use words that most journalists don’t know the meaning of - like “integrity”.

His killing of the Dem party is fine with me. It’s the killing of America that I take issue with.

Killing the ‘rat party, I hope he massacres it and completes the worst kinds of atrocities in doing so.

This was in the Washington Post??? Really???

We never know exactly what’s going on behind the scenes, but you could believe that some Democrats, such as the Clintons, would like to see Obama lose this election. Then, in 2016, Hillary can come in and save the day, after four years of Romney.

Whereas, if Obama is re-elected, America may be so sick of Obama and Democrats after eight years, that any Democrat could have a hard election in 2016 to succeed Obama.

It is kind of satisfying to think that the longest lasting legacy Obama will leave is the backlash which arose againast him.

I wonder if Hillary would have any interest in politics at that point in her life.

She looks like a tired and run down in some pix these days. By 2016, she’d be too pooped to answer the phone at 3 AM...

Yup. I was surprised too that such blasphemy would be permitted.

By the way there is a poll that needs FReeping at the link...

Should the Federal Reserve provide new stimulus to help the economic recovery? Yes - 57% (3668 votes) No - 43% (2807 votes) Total Votes: 6,475 Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding

Obama will go down in history like Romans such as Nero and Caligula.

Hillary, like the other Fabian socialists/marxists in the democRat party,
are PO’d at 0bama for “going revolutionary”, because that exposes the agenda.

They’d rather go slow and have us living under communism without us realizing that that was where they were taking us.

Thanks for finding and posting this. It’s always amusing to read the liberals’ comments on Jennifer Rubin’s blog.

I have trouble understanding how so much of the population of this country has trouble understanding that. It used to be drummed into your head in US Government and History classes that were mandatory in school 50 years ago.

This is Most Excellent! The Donkey Party committing Hari-Kiri ritual suicide before our very eyes. Good work, Barry. You need to work even harder.

No.

Obama is killing America and its Constitution.

That happens to include Democrats (moderates), Republicans and conservative principles.

The only group benefiting from Obama are socialists/marxists/muslims.

Conservatives are NOT better off because of Obama

The 17th killed the Republic. An essential of the Republic was the sovereign state, the 17th amputated it.

Obama is killing the Democratic Party

Oh bull. Every single thing he's done is standard Democrat rhetoric. The difference is that he is dumb enough to take that rhetoric seriously. The necessary result is that he is taking to its natural end faster.

One need only look at California to see exactly the same thing. RINOS enable the table of powers, and the Slave Party disables the economy using those powers.

The true reason for this MSM article and many like it over the last month or so, is to prepare the ground to make the pitch for Hillary seem reasonable. See tag line.

If McCain had been elected we would still all be asleep. Obama’s horrific policies have woken up patriots all across America and enlivened the TEA Party because we have been paying attention. We know that we have to put the brakes on the train before it goes over the cliff. We will do it in November, despite the fact that Charlie stole the handle.
