So it takes longer to set things right than either you or I would want, but the fight will go on and it's whiners like Obama that are complaining that it will go on. Boehner and McConnel are as much a problem as Pelosi and Reid, and if anything, the process brought that clearly to everyone’s attention. It is the TEA party versus big government Republicans and Democrats. That’s perfectly clear now.
OK. So you think Krauthammer is right and the process is working.
Remember, Krauthammer wrote this in response to Obama’s assertion that the process is not working. I think Obama said that because he is afraid the process may work to thwart completion of his goals, first of re-election, which in his view is wholly necessary to accomplish the “change” from limited constitutional government he and his Alinskyite Chicago friends seek.
Limited constitutional government people are afraid the “process” is not working to prevent the “change”, which amonts to overthrow of our constitutional law-based civil society.
You say “It is the TEA party versus big government Republicans and Democrats. That’s perfectly clear now.” That has been perfectly clear since (at least) 1964. And except for a couple of small roadblocks, the big government republicans and democrats have had their way.
Let me address your questions:
“Did you really expect a total victory from one election?”
Of course not. But people like Krauthammer do everything possible to induce a sense that “the process” is working out fine, while we know that to the big government ruling class, 2010 was just a bump in the road to be driven over. And they are very successfully driving over us right now.
“If the “process” were not in place, what would have prevented the Democrats from using the 2008 elections to impose a socialist government and economy more far reaching than they did?”
Nobody is saying there should be no “process in place”.The Democrats always use the “process” to impose socialist government and economy as far reaching as the public will allow without open revolt. And they have been doing this extremely successfully at least since 1912. And they have crossed a line with Obamacare and the trillions in spending, and are in the “process” of digging in with that program and spending as we speak.
“Should the process operate so quickly that every whim of the electorate is enacted the moment the party supporting that whim takes power?”
You mean in the way the Democrats enacted the stimulus and Obamacare? Straw man argument. Nobody is saying it should. But we need to point out that big government liberals like Krauthammer have served and are now serving to lull the citizenry to sleep while the democrats and big government republicans grow leviathan so large we can’t “set things right”.
Do not let the Krauthammers of this country make you think that the process is working out just fine, because if you buy into that, all sense of urgency is lost, and you will fail to use the system we have in place to “set things right”
