How the Democrats lost the middle (O Governs as if only liberals matter)
NY POST ^ | 8./27/01 | Rich Lowry

Posted on 08/27/2010 4:46:10 AM PDT by Liz

As former Bush speechwriter Peter Wehner writes, liberals "are expressing deepening alienation from our nation and turning on the American people with a vengeance." They thought they had a mandate from heaven in 2008 and can't bear the thought that they deluded themselves. They've gone from triumphalism to a petulant and uncomprehending tantrum in less than two years. The rump majority looks more exhausted by the day.

The left has to realize that unless they can act like the Venezuelans and imprison the opposition, all they are doing is acting like spoiled children.

Want to know why the left wants to repeal the second amenedment? Look no further than their lust for power. Until then they will have to think twice before talking to my sons Smith and Wesson.

petulant and uncomprehending tantrum, that is the sound of randi rhodes daily.

Sometimes in the truck listening to her squeal is as much fun as listening to Rush take them apart

Good one, Rich.
For a liberal, it’s always someone else’s fault. Calling Republicans ‘obstructionists’ when they have such a majority shows they are insane and need to be replaced.

DNC chair kept saying on broadcast TV "It's Repub's fault---they won't vote with us to pass needed legislation."

Somebody had to remind the jerk that Dems are in the majority---they don't need Repub votes.

Goes to show just exactly how stupid the liberal leadership believes their voters are.
I guess I’d feel contempt for people who believe such stupid ideas. I’d feel guilty for lying so much but then that’s just my upbringing. It always comes back with a vengance, you know.

How about this for a commercial:

On a red background with a hammer and sickle faintly in the background the following words appear on the screen.

“It’s God versus the State.” Come November it’s your choice.

I’ve often discussed Tom Wolfe’s observation that we lost this country when the Ten Commandments were removed from the public square (1970’s). Those laws, natural law observation, were what kept man tethered. Now, we are governed or ruled by the current whims of man.
Pray for us. May God have mercy on our souls.

Obama's Titanic presidency is lurching towards a November disaster Voters are looking at the bottom dropping out of the economy just as midterms looms. The timing here is everything, it is a disaster for Democrats.

THIS IS SO COMFORTING Democrats in and out of Washington say they are increasingly alarmed about the economic data, and midterm election polling, in recent weeks. The polls reveal Democrats as big losers, and Dems say they no longer believe anything resembling Ohaha's “Recovery Summer” is underway (no matter how often Biden repeats the lie).

REMEMBER WHEN The satanic cabal of Rahm/Axelrod/Soros yelled "economic crisis" to get Obama elected. The lies they created to win in 2008 are coming back to bite them.

Voters will see similar conspiracy theories as Democrats lurch toward November.........but it's clear the voters aren't buying-----they have had it with this crowd.

The point of the present government is to loot the treasury and provide procvide crumbs to the faithful while the leaders become mega wealthy forever.

Obama et al are first and foremost redistributive thieves. Once stolen, the money is gone from the treasury and irretrievable. The normal protection of the law is inadequate to form the punishment they all deserve.

All too terribly true.......but we should concentrate on the truism that "what goes around comes around."

I don’t think it will actually come around. They will leave office and live their lives unscathed. The law will not touch them.

There are other recompenses for wrongdoing....even worse than the law.

” Somebody had to remind the jerk that Dems are in the majority-—they don’t need Repub votes. “

The children of the left now see that they failed, and are trying to spread the blame.

You’d think that someone on the left would figure out the racket this administration is running. This is the ultimate ‘trickle down economics’ with the trickle coming from the government.
