That's pretty much the same thing you guys were saying in the run-up to the 2012 elections, and we all know how well that worked out for you. So just keep saying it. Over and over, while clicking the heels of your Ruby Slippers. See if that get's you back to Kansas.
The American electorate does not live inside the same right-wing echo chamber you do. Unlike the frothing nabobs at Free Republic or WND, they can tell the difference between a real scandal and an Issa witch hunt; between a recovering economy and an imploding one; between starting unpopular and unnecessary wars and ending them; between pragmatic collaboration and unreasoned obstructionism. They will make their decisions based on what their experience tells them... not what Mitch McConnel does.
The greatest weakness of the current American right is their inability to learn from their own mistakes.
Keep clicking those heels. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.
It works in the movies.
I think you misinterpreted me.
What I am saying (like 2012), is that liberals will vote again for another liberal, despite 8 years of economic misery and failure. I have no doubt at all about it. Another liberal may very well win the 2016 election as a result (likely). I am not debating whether libs will win the 2016 election. Given the idiocy of the electorate, it is likely that they will.
What I cannot understand is how people would be so dense as to keep putting politicians into office that inflict a lower standard of living upon the populace. Do libs and dems just love economic misery?
Conservatives will not adopt the insane, failed policies of liberals, just to get elected. Even if they did, libs and dems would still vote for the democrat "label" regardless".
The country has a majority of uninformed, programmed, ignorant (pick the shoe that fits) a socialist leaning population. They look to see which side their bread is buttered and vote accordingly.
Actually, given the apparent level of street smarts of the average voter, it would seem that they look to see which side of the butter the bread is on.
If Hillary is anywhere near as smart as she tries to portray, she will NOT run for President. The press will look at everything she has ever said or done and display it for the world to see.
In fact, the same goes for ANYBODY who is fool enough to want that job!
Libs- If liberal policy is so great, why do we have greater numbers of unemployed (or underemployed), lower incomes, lower savings, and more people on food stamps?
To deal with the deflation of massive amounts of low-quality private sector debt that was created under Republican easy-money policies
Quote:
The only people that appear to have prospered under Obama is the "1%ers"- oddly the people that Obama purports to hate.
That's a good point.
Problem is, what's the alternative? Republicans favor the wealthy even more.
guessed you missed the entire George W bush presidency and its absolute incompetence/malfeasants and the resulting mess Obama (or anyone who was elected) had to try and clean up
worst domestic attack on the continental U.S. (check)
worst economic disaster since the Great Depression (check)
worst response to a natural disaster (check)
anything I missed regarding W's reign?
and yes I would love for Hillary to be elected in 2016, because she will whole-heartedly embrace the fight with the radical Republican party that has evolved since the election of our first black president...
Note the above- Another liberal who will vote for four more years of continued economic misery via liberal policy. I guess a lib will be happy being impoverished and homeless, as long as there is gay marriage.
Blame Bush
I did not like Bush, as he was a liberal. However, the nation was far better off under Bush than Obama.
Obama-
1. Worst response to a disaster - Gulf oil spill
2. 7% decline in incomes
3. 40% decline in personal savings
4. highest number of unemployed in US history
5. 50 million on foodstamps
6. only part time jobs created
7. using drones to kill US citizens
8. unrestricted NSA surveilance of US citizens
9. IRS and Benghazi scandals
10. Fast and Furious
11. war on coal
12. no drilling on federal lands
13. Obamacare
14. increased EPA regulations
15. cities and states going bankrupt
16. expansion of wars in the middle east
Bush was a liberal. However, he was far better than Obama.
And I'll just bet that all of you will demonstrate your intellectual integrity and cease blaming Obama the day he leaves office, yes, my little geniuses?
Blame Obama, blame Obama, blame Obama!
In fairness, the geniuses from Obama & Co have for the past 5 years demonstrating their intellectual integrity by blaming Bush and there's still 3 more to go. The good news is, if there is a republican in the WH and he "blames Obama" the "you're a racist" mantra can continue.
1. The source isn't valid
2. That's racist
3. GOP obstruction
4. But...but...but George W. Bush
5. Haters gonna hate
6. Repeat 1,2,3,4 and/or 5 as needed then insult the opposition for failing to support this great man, declare victory, and move on
Obama's presidency has been one of abject failure and economic misery, scarred by scandal. The only jobs the admin has "created" are part time jobs. Incomes, savings, and standard of living has fallen during the Obama administration, and we have three more years of this downtrend to endure.
2016- How are the libs going to promote four more years of liberal "rule" after this debacle? Will Americans be dumb enough to vote for another liberal and doom the nation to four more years of economic misery? Has the electorate become conditioned, via government treats for votes programs, to simply vote democrat, regardless of performance and personal voter economic misery?
Libs- If liberal policy is so great, why do we have greater numbers of unemployed (or underemployed), lower incomes, lower savings, and more people on food stamps? The only people that appear to have prospered under Obama is the "1%ers"- oddly the people that Obama purports to hate.
Yes they will. Liberals are so afraid of conservatives that they cannot see when the liberals are the enemy.
On a t-shirt I saw recently: Definition of a liberal: One who is so open minded their brain has fallen out.

I wish I could disagree with this but I can't. Liberals scare me because they do not think but they outnumber those who do so we will just have to survive.
worst response to a natural disaster (check)- Does BP ring a bell? "Plug the damn hole!" Now THAT'S leadership.......
BP was a natural disaster?
