I’m sick of establishment. I want nothing to do with those jerks. Anything that’s got “establishment” written on it is a “hold your nose” vote at best.

One more thing: it's pretty clear that Obama has been crippled by his lack of political experience. There is no question that Obama is very liberal, but he has shown himself to be over his head in terms of politics. In fact, because of that, liberals are pretty unhappy with the guy right now.

Query: do we want the conservative version of Obama? That is, someone who is unquestionably conservative but simply doesn't understand how the politics work? Or would we rather have the conservative version of Bill Clinton, who, while maybe not an orthodox, knew how to get things done?

It’s the “how to get things done” that is screwing this country. Obama knows EXACTLY how to get things done: by executive order and unaccountable czars/regulators.

The left has nothing to gripe at Obama about. What they are mad about is that he did everything he said he would without being able to hide the putrescence of it all from the common people. He wasn’t sneaky enough about it. And nobody will ever be able to be sneaky enough about it, because what the left is after just plain stinks.

The gal who suggested that the elections be called off basically admitted that the left can never accomplish their goals as long as the people involved have to be worried about what the little people think. The left is finally figuring out that what they want is poison to most Americans.

Contrast that with Reagan, who wasn’t supposed to be electable because he was so different from the establishment - but who accomplished what the country needed, and was loved for it by the little people (even though despised by the elites).
