During this week, I met a few people who were at one point enthusiastic Obama supporters. They really believed all the "Hope and Change" stuff but now feel they have been duped.
One person who is self-employed signed up for Obamacare and now really, really regrets it. Another person who is very religious was furious at his support for gay marriage.
The disenfranchised people of this country have not “risen up” simply because they are not ORGANIZED
They tried with the Tea Party but the left (including the GOPe) and the media went all out Alinsky tactics on them. Labeled them racists, rednecks, neocons, etcs.
You’re right. It needs to be relabeled and reorganized.
They’ll still love Obama even while he feeds them to the Lions
Idiots. A person has to be some special class of stupid to not see what a disaster Obama would be. Duped? Yeah, if you are brain dead stupid. Sensible people saw right through Obama.
I don’t know any. Family members and friends who supported him are posting all the wonderful improvements from ‘the best president since Clinton’.
I do know one person who has hard core Obama in 2008 in the primary (strong Obama, anti-war, etc), who is expressed overall hatred for the whole thing. They became cynical that no one is actually going to do what’s right. 100% that person will pull the lever for Clinton, Warren or anyone else on the ticket in 2016, so it’s no progress.
The silence is deafening in our neighborhood. Most of us are conservatives, but there are a handful of diehard libs who proudly displayed Obama signs in their yards during both elections. We all interact socially, and politics is rarely brought up in those settings but the Obama cloud hangs out there like a pregnant whale. We know who they are and they know we know who they are- Outwardly nice people stricken with a terrible self inflicted mental disease.
They’ll Celebrate when Obama announces he’s running for a Third Term ,but he must control the Internet first
Yes, but there weren't enough of us to counter the "I want my freebies" voters.
When uninformed, misinformed,ineligible, government dependent and downright ignorant people are allowed to vote and the choices presented to the informed and intelligent voters are unsavory candidates preselected by their respective parties, you tend to get bad results.
No more cocky responses unbacked by facts. No more sneers. People diagnosed as delusional ... the are most at risk when reality forces its way in. This is a mild version of that. They are lost ... but still cling by a thread of hopeandchange.
I'm describing the one's who were already full out lefties. The middle of the roaders don't have much problem saying "well that was a mistake."
Anybody out there have stories of stupid people?
They will sully the new name as well. Do not think you can avoid the attack by the New York Liberal Democrat Union members who control the information streams in this nation.
It doesn't matter what you call yourselves, if you talk about reducing the size of government, you will be regarded as a "hate" organization and unworthy of respect or consideration.
Nothing is going to get solved until we can compete with or destroy those New York (and Los Angeles) Liberal Democrat Union members who control the News/Entertainment industries.
So long as they control the high ground, we will not be able to beat them. We have to take their high ground in order to win.
Hope and Change the subject
They probably still believe in the ideas, they just think Obama must be doing it wrong
And there it is. They stay in power by bribing their armies of voter zombies with printed money for which the productive members of society will eventually have to pay.
And they thought we got rid of slavery.
Who shouldn't be allowed to vote anyway. The last three words of the 24th amendment were a dreadful mistake.
You’re right. It needs to be relabeled and reorganized.
No it doesn't. The First thing the media people will say after a relabeling and reorganization is "These people are the same people who made up the Tea Party." And they will hammer that point constantly until everyone realizes that you are just a relabeled Tea Party.
The answer is not to try and hide or camouflage yourself from the Left wing Liberal Democrat Union member Media from Massive Urban environments like New York and Los Angeles, the answer is to undermine, compete with, and eventually destroy the Left wing Liberal Democrat Union Member Media from the Massively Urban environments like New York and Los Angeles.
If we don't do that, we aren't going to win anyway.
I ran into a liberal I worked with a couple of years ago and we talked for a minute. As we parted he said “You were right about Obama”. I was surprised.
Agreed.
We can solve the Misinformed problem by competing with and destroying the Liberal Democrat Union Members from New York and Los Angeles who produce our news and entertainment, and we can solve the uninformed and ignorant problem by repealing the last three words of the 24th amendment, and thereby deny the ability to vote to people who aren't paying taxes.
But I don't really see either thing happening, so odds are that we will simply keep rolling down this same stretch of track till we go off the cliff.
I am sure there were Jews who were praising Hitler and imploring his aid as they were loaded on the cattle cars.
