Julian Castro is no Barack Obama. And for that, Democrats have themselves to blame.
The focus of this week's Democratic convention was President Obama. Lost in the adulation was the diminished state to which he has brought his broader party. Today's Democrats are a shadow of 2008struggling for re-election, isolated to a handful of states, lacking reform ideas, bereft of a future political bench. It has been a stunning slide...
In 2006, Nancy Pelosi muzzled her liberal inclinations to recruit and elect her "Majority Makers"a crop of moderate and conservative Democrats who won Republican districts and delivered control of the House for the first time in 14 years...
By 2009, President Obama presided over what could fairly be called a big-tent coalition. The Blue Dog caucus had swelled to 51 members, representing plenty of conservative America. Democrats held the majority of governorships. Mr. Obama had won historic victories in Virginia and North Carolina. The prediction of liberal demographers John Judis and Ruy Teixeira's 2004 book, "The Emerging Democratic Majority"lasting progressive dominance...
While the party's most vulnerable members aren't in outright mutiny against Mr. Obama, more than two dozen didn't risk attending the convention. In contrast to last week's GOP celebration of reformist GOP governors, the Charlotte podium was largely dominated by activists (Sandra Fluke, Lilly Ledbetter), the liberal congressional faithful (Mrs. Pelosi, Harry Reid), and urban mayors from failing states (Los Angeles's Antonio Villaraigosa, Chicago's Rahm Emanuel).
While the GOP has feted its upcoming starsincluding minority governors like New Mexico's Susana Martinez and Louisiana's Bobby Jindalthe president has done little to nurture his down-ballot partners. Where is the next generation of Democrats?

Former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros accepted a speaking engagement at a local state university campus during the early Nineties. I was in attendance and recall that he was accompanied by an attractive blonde. The woman was an Anglo.
Sometime later, I realized that the woman was the mayor’s mistress when the scandal broke about Cisneros paying hush money to cover up his long term extramarital affair.
Sandra Fluke is the future of the Democrat Party.
The Next Generation, unlike the denizens of Star Trek fame, are here already. They are the babies that qualify mothers for WICs, they are the dependents that qualify them for SNAP. They qualify their parents, usually parent, for EITC, TANF, Section 8 and so on.
On many of my trips to Walmart, I see three generations of them. Baby, no-baby-daddy, Momma (who nearly always could stand to lose 50 lbs) and dear old grandma (not really old because she had her youngun at 15-16 like her momma did). Grandma is there with the SS cash to buy the liquor and cigarettes....
In my little county of north Georgia, the towns and country roads are littered with the hundreds, maybe a thousands or so, of rental trailers (you can tell them by the dozens of Georgia Rental Inspection Decals affixed to them). Most of these ‘residents’ are the current ‘Generation’ raising the next.
Hey ladies! Which would you rather have, an abortion or a j.o.b.?
It’s funny but this comment just hit me like a lightening bolt. With today’s economy of Government Entitlements. You don’t need a J.O.B. all you need is to have kids out of wedlock and you’ll be raking in the Dough, EBT Cards, Section 8 Housing, Cash, Free Medical, etc.
That means you you don’t want or need abortion because you need the kids for the Bennies.
On the OTHER hand if you have the J.O.B. you might need the abortions because you can barely afford to feed/cloth/shelter yourself on what is left over after the Government takes their “Fair Share” of your life, (Time/Money/Blood/Sweat/Toil).
“Julian Castro is no Barack Obama.”
Really? They were both reared by Communist parents. Both are Affirmative Action Harvard products. Both believe that government should provide “social justice,” which being interpreted means, “Make Whitey pay for his sins.” They could be twins....or triplets, since Julian already has a twin who is running for office in Texas.
This bunch of slick, toothy Leftists needs to be defeated at every turn, because their mutual goal is to see if Communism will succeed in the USA after it has failed everywhere else.

Absolutely correct, IMO
The rare pro-abortion freeper.
“Obviously, the liberal-leftist Dem (or Dim) view of America still holds enormous appeal for Americas yutes.”
That is because they have been brainwashed by the Marxist moron mill that is America’s public re-education system.
The 10th plank of the communist manifesto calls for free public “education”.
“There are plenty of young guns rising in the Republican party.”
Yes, indeed. In the 2010 election, more than 700 patriots and conservatives were elected to state legislatures. They are capable of taking on and defeating the rats. Wisconsin is one example.
These young guns will be moving on to the US Congress and replacing the weak RINO traitors. That task has already started.
We have a very good farm team of patriots and constitutionalists. I believe that Ryan is one of these. Unlike some people here, I’m optimistic for the future.
Elected Democrats are one wing of the party, the con men. The other wing were represented by the delegates, the dupes. Those are your choices, if you want to be a Democrat.
What I wonder is that the dem party has gone ALL gay and ALL muslim.
Talk about popcorn time!
