The Democratic National Committee Saturday released a report blaming the lack of a central narrative and waning support from Southern, white voters for "devastating" losses in midterm elections and at the state level.
“It is strongly believed that the Democratic Party is loosely understood as a long list of policy statements and not as people with a common set of core values (fairness, equality, opportunity),” said the long-awaited DNC autopsy of what went wrong for the party in 2010 and 2014.

Democrats, most recently President Obama, suggested that Americans side with liberals on most issues — they just say the party has done a bad job selling their ideas.

One thing that would put the final nail in the RATs coffin is if America would learn that DACA/DAPA hires are much more valuable than hiring citizens because the amestied group don’t count toward the 50-employee threshold that kicks in zerocare for small business.
Why is nobody on our side trumpeting that?
REFERENCE---Obamacare was argued in the 26-states' brief (AND mentioned in Judge Hanen's ruling)--- as part of the analysis of Plaintiffs’ standing to bring the case.
(hat tip TXHURL post) Specifically, the 26-states argued the fact that DACA winners can get jobs with US companies and not be counted toward the 50-employee threshold, and the reasonable expectation that DAPA winners will do likewise, make DACA/DAPA employees more desirable than citizen employees.
Inasmuch as the ruling doesn’t affect Obamacare, the exemptions to Obamacare do, in fact, affect the plaintiffs’ standing.
==============================================
REFERENCE In his ruling on Monday that upended plans to shield millions of people from deportation, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen avoided diving into sweeping constitutional questions or tackling presidential powers head-on. Instead, he faulted Obama for not giving public notice of his plans. The failure to do so, Hanen wrote, was a violation of the 1946 Administrative Procedure Act, which requires notice in a publication called the Federal Register as well as an opportunity for people to submit views in writing.
=================================================
BACKSTORY In a major suck-up to illegals, Obama "announced" he was issuing
an E/O and planned a "signing ceremony" at a Las Vegas gathering of illegals.
E/O and signing ceremony never happened. Obama was photoed signing "memos" on AF One---not an "executive action." Why? B/c an E/O comes w/ legal baggage that the conniving Boobamba wanted to evade. Both "memos" are now on the Whitehouse website.
====================================================
The first of Obama's presidential action memos is entitled: “Creating Welcoming Communities Fully Integrating Immigrants and Refugees,” filed Nov. 26 in the Federal Register at Vol. 79, No. 228, (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-11-26/html/2014-28191.htm).
In the category “Presidential Documents” at page 70769, Obama ordered a White House Task Force on New Americans to “engage with community, business, and faith leaders, as well as State and local elected officials.” The task force is designed to “help determine additional steps the Federal Government can take to ensure its programs and policies are serving diverse communities that include new Americans.”
The second of the presidential actions entitled, “Modernizing and Streamlining the U.S. Immigration Visa System for the 21st Century,” filed Nov. 26 in the Federal Register at Vol. 79, No. 228, in the category “Presidential Documents” at page 70765 (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-11-26/html/2014-28191.htm).
This empowered the secretaries of State and Homeland Security, in consultation with the director of the Office of Management and Budget, the director of the National Economic Council, the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, the director of the Domestic Policy Council, the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the attorney general, and the secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Labor and Education.
The order was to make a series of recommendations “to reduce government costs, improve services for applicants, reduce burdens on employers, and combat waste, fraud, and abuse in the system” of issuing immigrant and non-immigrant visas.

The federal agencies then "invent" Committees to do this (the better to overthrow the US govt). Then "Administrative Rules," after a comment period, will be published in the "Code of Federal Regulations," which magically turns them into law........ using federal fairy dust.
So Boobamba is shielded from responsibility---he doesn't have to take the hit. Behind closed doors, he tells federal factotums what he wants.....and faster than you can say "the combo plate w/ extra hot sauce".....the overthrow of the US govt commences.
=====================================================
THE "DELEGATION" HORROR STORY--A Federal agency MO since 1946. It's down to a science: (1) publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), (2) make the comment period really short, (3) stonewall any negative comments, and, (4) publish the rule, which (5) NOW has the force of US law. No Congressman was ever involved, and Boobamba doesn't leave his DNA on it. Yet again, why "Delegation" is ominous for liberty---why the writing of administrative law by federal agencies - is un- Constitutional (hat tip to FReeper Regulator.) /////
WE NEED TO GO THIS ROUTE: Rhonda Cook one of the ace Atlanta Journal Constitution reporters bird-dogged the corrupt Atlanta teachers story.
Cook reported that the 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about “the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements on the public payroll.” The Assembly then adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.
(RICO is often used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in at its inception, RICO was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members).
In recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to government officials accused of using their offices for personal gain---he activites of former and current Atlanta public school officials.
To bring a case under Georgia’s RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies — such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among other felonies).
RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the blanket indictment, and to charge that govt employees, publicy-funded and publicly-traded entities were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise...
......such as local govt welfare offices accepting falsified documents, state and/or county public assistance programs, state education funding agencies expending tax funds illegally, voter registration agencies accepting falsified documents, lending/banking/credit card companies, and the like.
Still waiting for the Democrats to be shown as Reds again — the way it was when the color maps first started. And before they ‘Rats complained about being exposed as Reds.
White women are the problem with that strategy.
They vote democrat 50%
The only way to 'win' the votes of people who have been bought off is to out-promise the dems with government largesse and special priveleges. Best to concentrate on the makers than the takers.
Democrats are the party of ;
blacks,
illegals,
dependent women,
95%+ prison inmates,
union bosses
and White Liberal Elites who benefit from human misery.
Republicans are the party of everybody else...

From Liz - nice additions...
Democrats’ new coalition includes Hollyweirdos, the one percenters, govt dependents, sex addicts, Viagra and condom users, abortion worshippers,
Democrats control votes in the inner city, bodegas, payday loan mills, fast food joints, gangland strongholds, sleazy Hollywood motels, Indian reservations, pineapple plantations, tacoterias, Boston beaneries, coastal clam shacks and surf shops.
Yeah. I know. We southern, white racist, confederate flag waiving, football loving, Christian white boys, clinging to our many guns, don’t vote for commie dimocrats. So, what is wrong with that???
That’s right, and that is why the “war on women” theme will be trotted out every election cycle. Dem candidates won’t say it; their commissars in the media will do it for them (as always) so a bunch of stupid women vote Democrat while not even liking the Dem candidate.
Worked for Obama twice.
You left out sexual deviants/mentally ill; a key constituency (in terms of money).
“All you cracker rednecks are just a bunch of stupid racists who hate children and puppies. You need to vote for us to assuage your guilt. Now vote for us or we’ll call you racist again” -DNC
If Bill Clinton gets in trouble over orgy island dems will not be trotting out the ‘war on women’ thing... Even flying on virgin airlines will knock the ‘war on women’ thing out. Not saying the knocked the young women out before raping them... didn’t imply that...
But please, keep your Homosexuals. All of them.
It won’t be “Dems” trotting out the “war on women”; it will be talk-show hosts and other surrogates they’ve used in the past. The Dem politicians will play blameless in the attacks.
It was done by the usual suspects over the last few election cycles on race issues; left-wing “comedians” and such pointing out the lack of black Republican candidates, supporters, and such. They got the message out that blacks should vote Dem, and not a single politician was involved.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
“Lack of narrative” means that the Democrats have nothing meaningful to say that Americans can believe in. It is that simple. When the Democrats say what they truly believe, no one buys it, except those in the entitlement class.
