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...

Ya kind of reminding me of narcissistic Barry there hum-gun.
Pure as the driven snow on all your comments about Palin, LOL!

Honestly, if your most-favorite-political-crush can't stand a little jiving, then I'd call that pretty weak.

Heck, most people don't mind a little *jiving*, but the persistent, unrelenting, liberal based crap by a neurotic nut job does get a little tiresome on a conservative forum.

So does the mindless Zealotry.

So there we are.

One thing we know for sure: Hillary Clinton will not be running for president.

She will not be running.

She will not be walking.

If she survives her brain tumor, she will most likely be in a wheelchair with a permanent attendant.

It sucks to be Hillary in 2013.

[deport]

I’d suggest she’d accomplish much more in those 2 and a half years and do more to put the country on the right path than Obama and W did in the 16 from 2001-2016.

***************

Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative, Male or Female, I’m not sure a President can accomplish much more than the existing Congress will agree to. Now if the Congressional makeup changes substantially then the President may have more success in guiding changes. JMO.

to signal a presidential run in 2016

President of what? Her fan club?

I really don't want to see another democrap landslide win.

[The Cajun]

So does the mindless Zealotry.

So anyone who doesn't agree with hum-gun about Palin is a *mindless zealot*?
LOL, what a narcissistic attention whore you are showing up to spew on just about every Palin thread.

Bullshite.

I’m a very strong woman and he digs me like a miner digs gold.

Go psycho-analyze somebody else

[jeltz25]

so go ahead and nominate another establishment-approved electable guy like Christie, Rubio, Ryan, or Jeb Bush.

The last few times we did that really turned out well.

[ZULU]

Rubio and Palin in 2016 - either ON the GOP ticket or running
against it.

So anyone who doesn't agree with hum-gun about Palin is a *mindless zealot*?

No. Check your comprehension.

Mindlessly attacking anyone who makes light of your Saint makes you a zealot.

This is probably lost on you, but try to grasp it anyway.

[Kaslin]

Under no circumstances must we allow the rats, especially Pelosi
to take over the house.

[humblegunner]

And then there is TheMom, who pretty much runs the show at the last few shoots.

I don't seem to have a problem with her either.

I'm thinking Lachlan is striking out here.

[The Cajun]

What does mindlessly attacking Palin with liberal talking points at every turn make you hum-gun?
I've seen lib trolls not being that obvious.

[Kaslin]

I agree

[humblegunner]

Blah blah liberal talking points.

She QUIT. It ain’t my fault she did.

She TEASED her supporters and then bailed on ‘em.

Also not my fault.

You may choose to disregard these facts, but it don’t make ‘em any less factual.

[Kaslin]

Are you planning to sit the election out, to teach the GOP a lesson? We know what happened in 2006. I do not want a repeat of that.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

OK ok, but if...

If Palin this time runs.

Can you support her?

(honest question)

[Forward the Light Brigade]

I disagree—massive change will come but it will have nothing to do with Sarah Palin. I predict a terrible war—it will start with a terrorist attack upon the USA from Mexico. Maybe a whole city will go up. This will change everything. War, will change a great deal knocking out a lot of dead wood in Washington. I believe it will be a Cabal of Enemies who will attack in harmony.
