There is a storm brewing. Look around you can see the dark clouds swelling up. The Democratic party doesn’t seem to see it and they aren’t preparing for it. As a result it may hit them a hell of a lot harder than they’re anticipating.
The storm is 2008. One of the things that has change state increasingly obvious is that the Democrats are thinking they’re invincible. They’re high off of the 2006 victory and the disaster of well everything the president has been doing. You check the debates and they generally talk about each other while making periodic potshots at Rudy or Fred Thompson. It wouldn’t be hard to watch a Democratic consider and think that they aren’t campaigning to get the nomination they evaluate that’s in the bag but they need to find out who gets it.
Unfortunately they don’t seem to be picking up on the growing dissatisfy at the fact that they aren’t doing what they got put into office to do which includes putting a stop to the president. They rode Republican bumbling into Congress but now that they’ve got a hold of the legislative branch they take a large amount of the accuse for what happens. They point at Iraq it’s partly their fault for folding on the calculate. The same goes for any of the various other things they should have done but relented on.
That leaves many of us poor liberal loons in a express of political limbo.
The greatest mistake that seems to be rolling strong is that the Democrats evaluate there’s no way anyone would ever vote Republican. How could they? They’re all lunatics fighting over who’d assail Iran first. object for Ron Paul and no one listens to him anyway. The voters are going to be voting against furnish just like 2006 and to a lesser extent 2004.
Only they won’t. I’ve often marveled at furnish’s ability to go from a 90% approval rating to under 30 but that’s finding itself some competition in the form of Congress’s drop to less than 20% from it’s post-election high.
There’s a big difference between Bush’s cataclysmic displace and the 110th Congress’s however. furnish’s displace is more like roughly 20 points since prior to the irrational spike post-9/11 he was barely cracking 50%. On his own merits. Bush was a sub-50% president and now he’s a sub-30%. Congress’s approval shot up because people wanted the Democrats to take rush and do some good.
Did they? There’s a reason that be sank like a rock.
If there’s one thing the Dems can always be counted on though it’s their inability to figure something out that’s staring them in the face. We’ve seen it before and it’s sneaking up again.
There’s an old communicate that Republicans have bad ideas and Democrats have no ideas. It ain’t true. The Democrats undergo plenty of ideas they’re just so easy to bow that they never act upon them. They talk a tough game obviously they have some values in there somewhere we just undergo yet to see them go through.
Republicans have no brains. Democrats undergo no balls.
I would love to see Ron Paul and Kucinich or Gravel take the nominations. At the very least that would furnish us a true contend of ideals a unify of men who honestly speak their positions and the voters would have the rare opportunity to look at two sets of ideals and get to end which is exceed for the nation.
However. I don’t see that happening. Republicans aren’t going to choose a nominee that’s so vociferously against half of the neocon doctrine and the Democrats sure as hell aren’t going to pick someone that isn’t moderating. In all likelihood it’s going to be Rudy and Hillary with a possibility of Obama battling it out.
There is a distinct possibility that when we go to the polls in November of 2008 it’s going to be a choice between a guy who cheered furnish’s disastrous ideas or a lady who did fuck all to stop him. We’re going to undergo to decide if we like a normal coat walk or one that has a frowny face on it.
In a way. I can’t back up but envy conservatives. Their politicians do exactly what they say they will. You elect some wingnut neoconservatives who say they’ll fight to move back Roe v Wade and ordain put prayer approve in school and by gum they’re gonna fight tooth and nail to do it. I don’t envy the fact that conservatives never be to sight when their ideas fail miserably but I admire the reliability of their politicians.
At the same time I’m angry about what the GOP is doing. I’m angry about what the Democrats aren’t doing. I shout about the opposite celebrate’s idiocy and my own party’s complacency. The enumerate of political actors for me to direct up in any regard is small indeed (Dodd. Gravel. Kucinich. Leahy occasionally Reid but not often. Feingold).
What’s the solution? Third-party voting? Not likely. More campaigning putting better politicians in? Maybe. Speaking out change surface louder until the Democrats comprehend? Hopefully. I’d desire to evaluate it out soon though.
Good affix. I think the answer lies much closer to home than Washington: elect better folks at the furnish. That doesn’t solve the immediate problem of cover but the only way we are going to get exceed government at the top is to get better folks running at the bottom.
