I got zotted here (in a previous incarnation of the PhilosopherStone avatar) for suggesting that electing Obama might be the best thing for conservatism since Jimmy Carter.

While the price we have paid has been high, here is what we have managed to purchase:

The death of the “race card”. No, lefties will continue to drop the race card, but it is no longer trump. In fact, the first person who drops the race card is now the loser in any debate. For proof, look at Olbermann’s ratings.

The death of the “fascist” card. Yeah, all those mouth breathing knuckle draggers in fly-over country like... Massachusetts...

The death of the MSM. Never again will the American people allow such an egregious dereliction of duty on the part of the people who are supposed to vet candidates and ask them the tough questions before they get elected.

We will survive Dumb0, and we will be stronger for it.

“We will survive Dumb0, and we will be stronger for it. “

IF we survive DumbO, we will eventually be stronger for it. Unless the Chinese, Russian, and Muslims have something to say about it.

***Obama might be the best thing for conservatism since Jimmy Carter.***

Good call!

It will require a rude awakening, sacrifice and a realization by the American electorate - to realize what we almost lost. Tough lesson - but an enduring one.

I notice how we on FR have begun making favorable comments about Clinton vs. Obama. The Dems must surely be doing the same algebra....just as Conservative Pubbies constantly compare Reagan to Dubya.

New day dawning;)

I have said many times that it is possible Zero could destroy the Democratic party. He will at least leave it in shambles.

The longer it takes the libtards to wake up to that fact the better off we are.

>> We will survive Dumb0, and we will be stronger for it.

I like your attitude. Ronald Reagan would have a similar view if he were still among us.

I wish you weren't dreaming but JJ and Sharpton have a warehouse full of pallets of brand new race cards. Ditto fo the other two issues too.
