What to expect in 2013 (Predicts presidential run by Palin, AWB, another Pelosi speakership)

This year has been quite a storm. Three hundred sixty-five days in a cyclone with fierce weather on all fronts: an economy tossing around in fits and starts; politics stalled by fog and precipitation, with heavy rains arriving in the fall to wash away Republican hopes of winning the White House and both houses of Congress.

What about the coming year?

No doubt we will again find ourselves at year’s end shaking our heads and contemplating what has happened, especially the unexpected.

Here are a few of my educated guesses — and a bit of speculation — about what 2013 has in store.

--snip--

●In the fullness of time, following the New Year’s celebration, leaders of the conservative-dominated GOP (Republicans Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. are in tears) will prostrate themselves and acknowledge that the unceremonious rejection of Republicans on election night had nothing to do with the “gifts” Mitt Romney charged were given to the “47 percent” of Americans by President Obama but, rather, that 63 million Americans didn’t think much of a political brand that has been hijacked by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, the tea party and other assorted right-wingers. Following that cathartic event, intraparty bloodletting will begin.

●Sarah Palin will try her hand at a series of economic, domestic and foreign policy speeches to signal a presidential run in 2016. Media will be ecstatic. Party stalwarts will be apoplectic.

●Democrats will launch a ground war singularly focused on retaking the House in 2014. Nancy Pelosi, accompanied by a surprise combatant, President Obama, will lead the charge...

She won't have enough muscle mass left to lift the coveted gavel. NEXT!

Sarah Palin will try her hand at a series of economic, domestic and foreign policy speeches to signal a presidential run in 2016.

Good. I hope she doesn't quit halfway through or act as a teaser.

[Democrat_media]

Sarah Palin, listen to me, run for President and win in 2016:

[newfreep]

Please take your hate filled PDS vitriol somewhere else!

REAL AMERICANS will be enthused and supportive.

[US Navy Vet]

YOU are a LEGEND in your OWN MIND!

[humblegunner]

Hoping she doesn’t screw up is hate-filled vitriol?

Wow. Who knew.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I've never had 99% of the media, Hollywood, the talk shows, the nutroots, academia, NGO’s, etc. against me and attacking me & my family. And neither have you, I'll warrant.

This got my eyes rolling so fast it's too bad there isn't a generator attached to them. Where to start? How about "Conservative dominated GOP??!!" There's another GOP other than the Republicans??? Why was I not informed?

Since I think Sarah Palin may be the only politician out there that has the experience AND the guts AND the know how to straighten out the damage the professional politicians in Washington, District of Corruption have inflicted on this nation, I am a little conflicted about any such run.
If she runs as a TeaParty candidate, I would bankrupt myself supporting her.
If she runs as a Republican, I just may sit it out.

[humblegunner]

Yes, victimhood can be a bummer.

Something should be done via reparations for all that.

Oh, wait...

[2ndDivisionVet]

It’s one of their favorite strawmen, along with “conservatives don’t care about pollution” and “the Tea Party is racist.”

[Bikkuri]

Man.. I knew before I even clicked on the thread that you would be here..

Please let up a bit HG .. :p

[rovenstinez]

I’m with Sara Palin, all the way to the finish line.

[preacher]

Great post!

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Hey lay off humblegunner this time.

He actually supported Palin, if you look.

:D

[familyop]

LOL! That’s funny—all of it.

[pallis]

I can see the Democrats in charge of the House come 2015, but Pelosi will need a prosthesis to make her face move.
