How does that make them “incompetent”?
I dunno - ask the public, who believes they are no more competent than the Dims. That was my point.
That's all that happened. Great many people thought that healthcare is costless (or "rich" people can pay for it), that having a Black man as president is good in itself (regardless of what's iside the suit), etc. Now they blame real people for failing to be pure symbols. That's what children do to parents; that's what a narcisssistic nation does to its leadership. We've seen the same in the 1930s Germany and Italy.
Talk’s cheap when you’re in the minority. When you attain the majority, you have to perform. The Dems have had four years and they’re still trying to get by on pointing the finger at the other guy. Even their base is telling them that but they’re not listening.
“...that having a Black man as president is good in itself (regardless of what’s iside the suit), etc.”
Something I wrote a while back;
Unvetted and unknown, we have a POtuS in the White House that is a complete cipher. All the idiots in the country who keep referring to Obama as a genius because he was “the first African American Editor of the Harvard Law Review” should be reminded that a lot of “firsts” have no significance beyond that simple fact of being first in unusual circumstances.
The “first” black ballplayer in Boston Red Sox history - the LAST team in MLB to integrate, ironically, was Jerry “Pumpsie” Green who played a few short and unremarkable years and was out of baseball entirely before he was 30, He can be found, though, in all of the history books because he was a “first” in what was considered a bigoted organization.
Ironically, Pumpsie had a brother, Cornell, who was a tremendous athlete, the 5 time Pro-Bowler for the Dallas Cowboys. He made five Pro Bowls at two different positions - cornerback and strong safety. Green never missed a game in 13 seasons with the Cowboys (1962-74) and played 168 games, including 145 consecutive starts for the Cowboys between 1962-1974.
Absent Obama’s general collegiate records, indicating his course work, written grade scores and SAT’s etc., we don’t know how smart this guy is ... but I’m going out on a limb and saying he is more like Pumpsie Green than Cornell Green...he’s just the “first” to come along...
Anybody, even someone of little talent can become famous and be a “first” or a celebrity...but the guy who shows up on game day and straps it on is the guy who will be remembered for being someone special.
“The GOP has plenty to offer, but you have to be able to see and hear to understand it. Try paying attention.”
Well, Deb, now that you have finished your huckstering for the Grand Old Potty, I hope they get flushed even more. You are calling us uneducated because we disagree? That kind of hubris is why the Grand Old Potty needs to be flushed.
Your ignorance knows no bounds and is obviously your choice. Fortunately the willfully uninformed won’t be necessary for us to win.
Isn’t that special.
nice try fool.
right on!
That’s it? That’s all you got? Sheesh.
