I am starting to see the brilliance of Hillary or Obama in the WH... but only on one condition: The Republicans in Congress all grow a pair at least the size of Senators Leahy, Levin, Biden, Kennedy(all traitors in my eyes) and stop all “progressive” initiatives and Leftist judge nominations. Unfortunately,the Repubs haven’t learned a thing from the Dems playbook on how to stop a duly elected President virtually dead in his tracks. Read “Shadow Warriors” and weep for your Nation.
Late to the thread, feel like death warmed over ('cept for that "warmed over" biz), no way I can read everything here, so here's my two cents on the half-shell -- take it, leave it, but spare me the flames, spare me the strongarm tactics, spare me the "go back to DU" flapdoodle, etc., etc., etc. [Not aimed at you, Sioux-san -- the regular suspects will know who they are.]
OK, two cents, coming right up...
Cent One: We're screwed. Period. No matter what. The election is now a Hobson's Choice, a four-sided coin. No matter which of The Four Stooges wins, we're screwed. That's the baseline.
Cent Two:
We are recovering (OK, we're not recovering -- I'm using artistic license) from a Republican Executive "working with" a Republican Legislature.
The result of that nightmare was a Democrat's wet dream. Clinton could NEVER have even fantasized about getting even half the crap that Congress handed Bush on a silver platter.
Gridlock is your friend. Gridlock is OUR friend. Unfortunately, you can't have it both ways. You can't have "GOP on GOP" AND "gridlock" at the same time.
Until some conservatives 1) take the job in Congress, and 2) grow a set, it's madness to have either A) a Republican executive and Republican legislature, OR, B) a Republican executive of the type we have these days -- one that ACTS like a Democrat, and "will work with" a Democrat legislature.
So, in a cold, clinical, sickeningly analytical way, it does make a kind of sense to take the position Coulter is taking.
However... sometimes it's wise to NOT take things at face value.
Coulter is intelligent, and, has an agenda. Part of that agenda is to see Romney elected. She's gone on record. It's no secret that she backs Romney.
But, Romney is taking a flogging in the polls, as McCrazy gains traction.
Seems pretty obvious to me that her strategy is to spook the voters away from McCrazy, so that Romney will have a chance -- and, perhaps -- just perhaps, if that fails, then, last-ditch strategy is gridlock with a witch on top -- tied up and helpless.
There you go, two cents on the half-shell, and remember the directives. If you can't discuss things rationally, then take yer strongarm politicking and YOU "go back to DU!" LOL!
