Here They Come. Democrats gone wild.
Weekly Standard ^ | Oct. 27, 2008 issue | Matthew Continetti

Posted on 10/18/2008 9:03:16 AM PDT by FocusNexus

It's time to face facts. In-your-face liberalism is about to make a comeback. And this time it will be on steroids.

Next year the Democrats will control both houses of Congress, most likely with comfortable, perhaps filibuster-proof majorities. If there is a Democratic president, too, Washington will host one of the most liberal governments in American history. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid are more than ready to make staggeringly liberal changes in the country's economic, social, and foreign policy.

Obama says Washington needs to "invest" tax dollars in alternative energy, infrastructure, health insurance subsidies, and education before it starts worrying about deficit reduction. Paul Krugman writes that "now is not the time to worry about the deficit." Pelosi wants Congress to pass another $300 billion economic stimulus package by the end of the year--even though the previous $300 billion Congress spent last winter had no discernible effect. The GOP has been horrible on spending. The Democrats will be worse.

I am voting Barr and making a stand against the US’s slide into socialism. With McCain/Obama it’s either going to be a fast slide or a faster slide...my vote will say I’m against it altogether. The left lived through 8 years of Bush to emerge stronger than ever...we can live through 4 of 0bama.

Why do I have trouble with anything the "Weekly Standard" says? "Fox News All-Stars" Kristol and Barnes are editors...they have contributed to the Liberal takeover with their lopsided comments on Debate Number 3.

They should have made the comments in this article rather than how disappointing McCain is.

Then you are speeding up the slide. That makes no sense.

“here they come, democrats gone wild”

should read: “here they come- unabashedly psychotic democrats with messianic delusions; scu&bags in action”

IMHO

I’m not convinced that any one of the three “next years” will occur.

I sincerely hope you are at least supporting a Republican Senator and Representative, and all conservatives at the local level.

It’s not over yet.

*sigh* With dead people voting in Ohio, Mickey Mouse voting in Florida, the Dallas Cowboys voting twice (once in Missouri and once in Nevada) it might as well be though...

Now I know how the lending institutions must have felt having their arms twisted to make risky loans.

Absolutely right. Anyone who thinks its important to make a “protest” vote for 3rd party or just sit it out, can blame themselves when the brownshirts come beating on their door.
If for no other reason, nobama being able to left load the Supreme Court could very well destroy America or put common sense government and freedom out of reach for the next 2 or 3 generations if not forever.

I am supporting GOP reps that opposed the bailout. It’s my litmus test for this election.

You know, part of me thinks it would be a healthy thing for this to happen. Four years of this, and we'd have Carter style stagflation, huge new assaults on liberty, and in general a real mess. It would demonstrate to the younger generation just how bad liberalism is for the country, and perhaps lead the way for another Reagan-style era of prosperity (assuming the Republitards could actually nominate another Reagan).

But then I start thinking about the media's behavior in this campaign. I think if we'd had the media we have today during Carter's presidency, Carter would have been viewed as a success. The media is going to cover up every bad thing under Obama. They are going to continue to blame Bush for every problem, even after he's left office, for as long as they can get away with it. The fairness doctrine will kill off what conservative leaning press there is.

We have got to find a way to take the media back. Until we do, we're screwed. And I don't think voting is a viable way of doing it.

Are we weaker than the left? They lived with 8 years of Bush to emerge stronger than ever and you think we will be crushed by 4 years of Bambi? Not me, not even close. I’ve got too much fight in me. I will not be coerced into a “hold my nose” vote. I am voting based on my belief that nationalization of companies is socialism, plain and simple.

I am voting Barr and making a stand against to hasten the US’s slide into socialism.

Fixed it to make it an accurate statement.

Bob Barr is as nutty as they come and voting for him makes you nuttier than him. Why don’t you just tell us the truth that you really will be voting nobama? Facing the truth will make you feel better!

“I am voting Barr and making a stand against the US’s slide into socialism.”

No, you are NOT — you are HELPING a swift slide of the US into socialism by aiding and abetting the socialist takeover of the US by the triumvirate. Obama will thank you.
