Yep just like 2010.
And just how is (R) supposed to be better?
Take a look at what they allow and what they do and there's so little difference from (D) as to be the same party.
(Practically, this is to ask how would things be different/better under the other party?
and the honest answer is it wouldn't. Oh sure they may package it up nicely and loosen some of the restrictions, but they'll keep the essential building-blocks and constructs — look at their reactions to ObamaCare, F&F, NSA, and IRS for proof of this — they honestly don't care so long as they can look like the good guy
.)
Once you grant [some] people realize that (R) and (D) are essentially the same it allows you to extend the benefit of the doubt to the general population WRT their intelligence.
It is cruel of the racist Republicans to deny him this easy out, don't you think? (Providing they are smart enough) BTW, Democrats 2016? Why Joe Biden, of course. I predict he'll be a lot more front and center '14-16. Beware. He is a vicious and effective partisan.
O wait. Isn't there supposed to be another party?
I guess you didn’t see what happened in 2006, 2008, and 2010. All three elections happened as a result of voting against the unpopular President in office. I’m betting that 2014 will end up just like 2010.
All the anaylsts are saying its likely that when gnp numbers come out tomorrow—they’ll show growth at or above 3%.
If this happens, I can guarantee you that the democrats will game economic narrative a lot.
Of course most of the growth in the economy will be mid continent where the farm economy enjoys high prices and the oil patch if fomenting a revolution.
This might have been "obvious" in the first six months of his Presidency. But almost half-way through his second term there is zero reason any more to hope this on-going depredation on this country and our Constitution and freedoms and liberty are anything other than deliberate "malice aforethought".
If this were incompetence, he would have accidentally gotten maybe a few things right, like that buffoon Jimmah Chawtah. But everything he has done has been bad and he continues to double down and strike even harder against America and our institutions.
"Malice aforethought" is the only thing that can explain it. It is about time those who should know better start averting their gaze and stop excusing it as "being in over his head".
He's not in over his head. He is putting us in over our heads and shoveling in the dirt as fast as he can!
I saw — I just think that much voter apathy is because neither of the two [main] parties actually cares about the citizenry.
The Republican party is particularly loathesome because it has absolutely no intention of carrying out any of its stated platform planks; if it did how would McCain or Romney possibly be the face they endorsed for President? Seriously, those guys were chosen because either (a) they were Democrat in all but name, or (b) they were the only ones able to lose; neither choice is 'good' because the only conclusion from them is that the (R) party is complacent and/or complicit.
This sort of citizen-apathy/political-elite-superiority-complex is a direct result of The American Caste System.
Nope, there isn't.
But on the upside, and there is an upside, even liberals are getting the message.
Had lunch with a far, far left lib friend last weekend. She’s a changed woman. ADAMANT about getting Republicans elected next time. The mess at the border opened her eyes.
In Romney's case, I could never be quite sure. Has anyone ever held a mirror under his nose? See if he makes noise when kicked in the cullions?
Now McCain is another story. Him, feel free to condemn. In the AF when he was in the Navy, I can tell you it is very unusual for a Navy pilot to become famous in the AF. But everyone knew Lt. McCain.
"Did you hear about the Navy guy who keeps getting lost ... over the Chesapeake?" "5 American aircraft and several probables doesn't make you an ace, McCain." "AWOL" "Drunk and Disorderly" "Fighting in bars," "Improper Uniform." etc. ad nauseam. The instructors who tried to wash him out of flight school were never heard from again. Sure helps to be the black sheep in a family full'o'admirals!
When he was shot down and captured, maintenance officers throughout the fleet breathed a sigh of relief. Had the NVA known about him, they would have shipped him back the next day. Instead, becoming a POW was the highlight of his "career." Otherwise, he would have wound up after 28 years, as the Lt. Commander in charge of soldering old mess kits at Twenty-nine Palms, or in the Brig at Portsmouth. Wadda bozo! Perfect Republican Candidate ... right up there with Bob (Viagra) Dole.
Yeh its gong to get worse before it crashes completely. :-)
Thanks for the info and pic.
I always operated with the assumption that he was Obama's clone — because of this I'm not surprised about what he says/does.
