The Democrats are on the verge of a historical defeat
TheWashington Times ^ | Oct. 14, 2010 | The Washington Times

Posted on 10/17/2010 12:26:59 AM PDT by UniqueViews

The Democrats are on the verge of a historical defeat. Just two years ago, the party seemed to be forging a majority governing coalition. It controlled Congress, key governorships and many state legislatures. And with the 2008 election of President Obama, the Democrats occupied the White House.

Democrats had a golden opportunity to build an enduring pragmatic liberalism upon the Republican rubble.

They blew it. Instead of focusing on economic recovery, job creation and winning the war on terrorism, the Obama administration used its massive congressional majorities to expand government power.

Mr. Obama is a radical ideologue. He chose socialism over pragmatism, remaking America rather than reviving it.

Yet, as the media coronated him the new leftist emperor, his subjects grew restless under Democratic imperial rule. Mr. Obama has alienated Middle America for one simple reason: His policies are bleeding the country white. They are breaking the nation's back.

Don’t get too confidant.

It won’t be easy but it will be nasty.

There are still two weeks of filthy, dirty tricks and personal attacks by Obama and other democrats to weather.

At election time there will be millions of fraudulent votes to overcome.

Then, there will be election stealing, ala Al Franken, wherever the vote is close.

I despise leftoids for many things, but right up there at the top of the list is the mockery they have made of the electoral system.

I always believed you only use an “an” if the “h” is silent.

So, instead of acting like Republicans, the America Hating Communist Democraps acted like America-Hating Communist Democraps. The only thing surprising about Fuhrer Obama's failure is that the sheeple vote for democraps in the first place.

“Power lies not in those who cast the votes but those who count the votes” - Joseph Stalin

Democrat supporters involved in various groups like SEIU, the New Black Panther Party and others too numerous to mention have openly admitted that they should “borrow, steal, kill” to keep Conservatives, Republicans, and Tea Party activists out of power.

Expect voter manipulation, intimidation, and outright fraud. If you think I'm being paranoid.....just ask Norm Coleman!!! If you think that Democrats will lie down and allow themselves to loose the power they worked for 40 years to acquire, you may be in for a rude awakening!

For the record.. I smell a set up.. Virtually no reporting of voter fraud.. no efforts at prosecuting those engaged in voter fraud..

I pray I am wrong but I see gains but conservatives.. almost but not quite regaining control of the House..and or Senate..

Just enough so the Left can say..” The people have repudiated conservatism.. onward Comrade to the Greater Socialist State.

Again, I pray I am wrong.. But that's the smell of it too me.

Uhm... a bit too early for such article. While I’m very happy with the direction of the races, we should not count the eggs before they hatch...

“the de-infestation of subversives in important institutions such as education from school boards to university regents and professors, government worker unions, and even in military command, and federal agencies and departments, such as State, HUD, DEA, ,,, etc”

sounds a little Stalinist to me....but I do concur!!!

Agree. I have seen too much optimism here over the years and elections. And too many tears the days after.

Do not be surprised if Delaware becomes aware enough to vote against the Demonicrats too.

I sure hope this is true, but I have a nagging feeling it ain’t going to be too bad for the dems.

Somehow the repubs are going to screw this up the weekend before the vote, they always do.

We can only hope the DIMs lose in great numbers. However, I am always anxious about the mentally-challenged (i.e., LIBs) somehow finding their way to the polling places.

I have to disagree with the belief that Obama and his fellow travelers are Marxist. The Washington Times correctly ID'ed Obama's policies as corporatist.

"From the outset, Mr. Obama's goal was to erect a corporatist social democracy - the fusion of big government, big labor and big business."

No counting chickens before they hatch. I like the optimism, I want to see it translated to overwhelming victory before I relax.

The socialist takeover of our country is NOT the working of Czar B.O. Rather it is the very essence of the Democrap Party which has been trying to implement these assaults on our country for the last 50 years.

Czar B.O. did not cast one vote in the Congress on any of the legislation that was placed on his desk. But the hard core Socialists of the Democrap Party (and their friends and allies) did.

Czar B.O. was chosen to be the Negro spokesman for the Democraps so that anyone who objected to the takeover, would be branded as RACIST!

Argh. It’s historic, not historical. And it should be “an”, not “a”.

an 'istoric defeat?

'aven't we dealt one to the British already?

Don't get 'ysterical, but we don't talk like that anymore in America. As for 'historical--that's a whole nother issue.

I disagree.

Blame belongs squarely upon the American people.

They are the ones who gave Obama and his cronies their political power.

Without the voters acting, Obama and his fellow communists would be nothing but pamphleteers on college campuses.

Left-wing politicians are only the symptoms. The disease is within the body politic - We are to blame!

And it should be “an”, not “a”.

Incorrect.

“H” is a peculiar consonant. The a/an rule is simply stated as to use “an” in front of words beginning with vowels. However, the more complete rule includes and words beginning with vowel sounds.... Works beginning with “hi” are in this category. Example... A hat but An historic (historical) event.
