Pressure Building For Democrat Implosion

Published by at 8:26 am under 2008 Elections,All General Discussions

I have to admit I have enjoyed watching the democrats self destruct this year. It has been slowly building as their once vaulted hopes of riding a defeat in Iraq to the White House have been dashed by not only a path to victory laid before us in Iraq, but the infighting of the left’s two prime identity groups – the only one’s really left – blacks and women. Sadly for these two respected elements of society they each are being represented by lame candidates, and they have helped create the pending low speed train wreck.

Hillary has trouble keeping reality and dreamland straight and can be so condescending one wonders whether she is as smart as every one claims. She is still riding Bill Clinton’s coat tails and the political machine they built from his presidency. Even with all that support she is flailing.

Obama looked to be the better candidate. He was a DC outsider, at a glance he looks stylish and poised. Hilariously he was able to destroy that image with a quick game of bowling where he bowled a ridiculous 37! Geez, how isolated has this man been from America? He was seen as something new, a way to get past the long gone racial divides that primarily exist today as romantic memories in some people’s minds. In the end we learned he was part of that stubborn group that will not let racial tensions die, who cannot get past the upheavals of the last century, who cannot see the progress and only see the US of KKKA.

To this point there was hope for Obama, but when he claimed bitter frustration was the reason for people to believe in God and demand the right to bear arms (just think of these two concepts in the Church of Reverend Wright!!) he exposed the fact he is a far left liberal trying to play a charade on America. That is a two punch blow: First for letting his condescending views about his supporters leak out, but also making it clear he has not been honest with them, basically putting on a show to fool them.

(and I am being generous here, the left is not all that astute at times – but then again the right can be tone death too) are just noticing the fact Obama is seriously damaged for the general election:

Obama comes from a modest background and has tried to appeal as a candidate of both Harvard Law School and Chicago’s Back-of-the-Yards, where he organized laid-off steel workers, but he hasn’t been able to pull it off. His manner, his tenor, and his diction are Harvard Law, and when he starts dropping his ‘g’s,” he sounds strained. And Obama is too young, and lacks the stature, to appear as a Franklin Roosevelt-style father figure.

These difficulties were clear before Obama spoke in San Francisco, but they’re much more glaring now. In the speech, Obama appeared to say that Pennsylvania voters’ opposition to gun control or abortion or immigration or free trade was pathological–a product of what Marxist philosopher Herbert Marcuse once called “false consciousness.” On the other hand, he implied that when he voiced opposition to an issue like free trade–Obama has consistently hammered Clinton on her support for the North American Free Trade Agreement–he was simply pandering to these voters’ displaced anxieties. He was saying to these upscale San Francisco Democrats, “I am really one of you, and I am not one of them.”

Oh, it was much worse than that. But liberals cannot grasp the damage done. And it is getting worse now that Obama’s name has come up in a scandal trial. Last thing America wants is another crooked pol in DC. Even if Obama is not implicated, America will take no chances with the Presidency.

What is really interesting is the Democrats also cannot stop Obama from winning the delegate count for the primaries. As I said, Clinton is such a bad candidate she could take out this neophyte early on. So what is happening is the support between Hillary and Obama keeps solidifying in the two liberal enclaves, each unwilling to take a back seat to the other victimized group (because that is all they represent on the left, victims’ groups). Now with Obama leading in delegates and popular vote he is imploding, putting pressure on the Democrat machine to make a move to save their dreams. They either up-end the primary process and put in Hillary (which would severe the democrats hold on the African American vote) or they put in someone who did not run like Al Bore (and destroy the party forever).

Watching the pressure build week after week is riveting. In one week so much pressure will be built up the entire party is going to be screaming for it to stop. But it can’t stop. The supporters will not back down and the candidates will not back down (and their supporters would not buy it anyway). It is amazing to watch, knowing the Democrats will be a crippled party one way or the other when this thing finally blows.

    when your argument depends upon mis-representation how valid is your argument?

    Norm,

    It is what he said – get over it. Your hero is a clown.

  3. norm says:

    no aj…that is not what he said and you know it. like iraq, wishing for “victory” and saying it over and over again does not make it so. it appears from polling out today that most sane people realize it.
    actually i think the worst thing that can happen will happen when a democrat takes over the white house along with a large number of additional seats in congress. it didn’t work for bush in his first term and it didn’t work for clinton in his first four years. if i had my way the dems would take the white house and the republicans would take back the majority on the hill. my second choice would have been that the republicans had managed to come up with someone that promised a significant change from bush and the democrats had a veto proof majority. only then would washington be forced to work in a bi-partisan manner and forgo the childish hyper-partisanship espoused by sites like this.

  4. agimarc says:

    Now here’s the funny part: As the dems self destruct at the presidential level, their new majority in congress is polling lower than the Repubicans did in 2006 and the dems did in 1994. How can you retain or expand a congressional majority that way? Yet the conventional wisdom is that they will significantly expand their control of congress. I think the stage is set for a general housecleaning in November – with a bunch of people currently in office getting summarily tossed. We may end up with McCain, a Republican majority in the House, and a democrat majority in the Senate after all the yelling stops. I don’t know if that is a good thing or not. But it will certainly be interesting to watch.

    AJ

    It also looks from some of the stories popping up that the various unions in each camp are starting a little blue on blue action themselves.

    Steve Austin

    I can’t hold her she’s breaking up!

  6. AJStrata says:

    Yes norm, he said their bitterness pushed them to god and guns. Making up fantasies to avoid the disaster is not going to fix the problem!

  7. ivehadit says:

    Excellent post, AJ. Right on the money. The party of victims and underfunctioning ones is having its day. The American public is getting to see it in full bloom as they let us know who they REALLY are.
    They are reaping what they have sown….and what they foisted on all of us lo these past decades…especially the clinton era.

    It feels good…really, really good…for justice and the truth to finally come out!

  8. norm says:

    aj…not only is in not what he said…your last statement is not even the same as your first. things can get delusional out there on the fringe sometimes eh?

  9. AJStrata says:

    Norm,

    I warned you – don’t insult the host. Last one kid and you are outta here.

  10. norm says:

    aj…please show me where obama claimed “…bitter frustration was the reason for people to believe in God and demand the right to bear arms…” you really shouldn’t get insulted and pout because someone points out an error you keep repeating. you should be thankful.

  11. AJStrata says:

    Norm,

    Your just not that smart. The only way you missed the ‘ bitterness’ comments is if you failed to read or watch the news for many days now.

    Yes Norm, I am thankful I am not you. Count on it. I would be embarrassed to be so ignorant.

  12. Neo says:

    How can you retain or expand a congressional majority that way? By keeping a low profile.

    Notice that you haven’t heard boo about the other co-equal branch of government (hint: Congress). No more end the war in Iraq votes for how long now ? Only one pathetic hearing with the oil companies .. while gas prices continue to go up .. up .. & up.

    But why nothing on energy, save conservation and ethanol (making corn prices higher) ? But they do have a few spare moments to take a free trade pact, that would probably generate more trade and jobs, off the agenda.

    Where are these “champions of the little guy” ? Out in SF telling a bunch of top income earners that the “little guy”-s are clinging to their “religion and guns” while basking in “frustration” and “bitter”-ness.

  13. norm says:

    aj…i didn’t miss the bitterness comment…but you are mis-representing what he said in order to make your point. if you had a valid point you wouldn’t have to do that.

  14. AJStrata says:

    Norm,

    I am not misrepresenting what he said because he has had to go out and clarify it and when he does he says the same thing – bitterness drove america towards church and guns.

    Your hero is imploding, don’t blame me for seeing it so you can pretend it is not happening.

  15. 75 says:

    Seriously, people…I must ask in all honesty…is there anything more fun than watching an idiot like Norm hopelessly try to twist and turn, spin, and otherwise flip, flop, and fumble their way out of an indefensible position?

  16. norm says:

    aj…this is now another statement that does not match your original statement. “…bitterness drove america towards church and guns…” is not the same as “…the reason for people to believe in God and demand the right to bear arms…” you can’t even get your own mis-representations straight.

  17. Terrye says:

    Norm:

    Are you hearing impaired? Obama is condescending prick who said one thing in front of his audience of billionares and something else for his silly little peasant fan club.

    He is hypocrite.

    And btw, I used to be a Democrat. It was people like you and Obama who drove me from my party.

  18. Terrye says:

    The thing is trade is not costing jobs and if the Democrats get in there and force Americans to spend more money for everything from clothes to cars to appliances to food just so they can pander to the AFL-CIO while meanwhile jobs do not appear, where does that leave them?

    Recently a friend of mine brought a new tractor. It was Romanian. It was assemble in Arkansas the dealer was from Kentucky. If Obama and his friends get their way, this guy could not have gotten a new tractor because a John Deere was too expensive, the factory in Arkansas would not be in business and neither would the dealership in Kentucky. Who does that help? This is something they have never cared to understand, trade=commerce.

  19. norm says:

    psssst…terrye…um…i don’t think this blog has an audio component. but i read very well thank you. i understand what words mean, and can recognize when they are being mis-represented to make a political point.

    Norm,
    And what exactly is it that your little deaf ears heard Obama say?
