We knew it two years ago, but as a sagging, aging movie star struggles to maintain her good looks, the party hung its fortunes on the handsome Barack Obama. He was all they had. They are intellectually and morally bankrupt. They slept their way to the top with Wall Street; their mantle of virtue is now a see-through nightie.
Party Affiliation is now a dead heat. Which is no surprise. As Obama has fallen, so have the Democrats.
I predicted this on May 19th 2009, speculating on the reason for Democratic dominance:
What explains the continued Democratic dominance?
Their headliners are grotesque freaks: (Pelosi, Frank, Kucinich), angry jackasses (James Webb, Al Franzen), criminals (Rangel, Balgojevich, Jefferson) or grumpy anonymi (Harry Reid, Carl Levin)
The states and cities they control are putrid sinkholes of corruption and economic collapse: California, Detroit, New York, DC
So what explains the Democrats' success?
President Barack Obama. He's all they got. If the bloom falls off that handsome, teleprompter-articulate rose, they're done, which explains why the press is straining so hard for him against the forces of reality.
America thought it had voted for a pragmatic, moderate philosopher king. Instead, we got a smart-ass punk who sarcastically and publicly calls out his enemies (the list of which is growing faster than Nixon's). The man never misses a preachable moment, and now the bloom has fallen off the rose.
Live by BS, die by BS...

If that's all they got, I feel sorry for them.
Wait. No I don't.
You are so right, Silverfiddle! For years they have had no real platform of substance. Their agenda is based around one thing and one thing only...enlarging and maintaining their voting block to stay in power. You see this in their entitlement mentality, in their rules changes to accomodate the passage of their legislation, their "solutions" for illegal immigration, and their funding methods. They flaunt their disregard for the Constitution and established procedures in Congress to advance their goals. They don't care what the "little people" want...after all we're too stupid to know what is good for us.
IF BO is all they got, then November should be fun! I think your last two sentences say it all..

I think the sarcastic nature of this man is extremely annoying!
Brilliant sir. You need to post this on Bonsai from the Right as well. Very well stated.
The way I'z thinking is the dude is nothing more than a hater and leads the party of haters.
So'z I am gunna reciprocate in like manner to what they really stand for.
vote em all out my friend!!!..thats what we need to do pronto!!!:)
Well Silver I would like to agree with you entirely but there remains the problem of money.
You see in my view Hussein is but a puppet leaving shit like George Soros pulling the strings.
We must, I repeat MUST fight hard and fast to overcome such odds.
I agree Christopher! I'm certainly not telling everyone to kick back and wait for them to implode. Get out the hammers and contribute to the liberal collapse!
Silver, Please understand that I was NOT implying you were sitting back.
I know you are a Patriot and did not wish to imply oterwords, but rather to emphasis your underlying point.
Press-on my freind, press-on!
Change a few words, a few names, and a few phrases of ideology and this could be a very liberal thread about a republican. LOL
IMO: This is where they found Obama, in case any one is interested.

Here is a bio on Zalmay Khalilzad.

No sweat Christopher! We're simpatico, dude!
RZ: I don't get the whole "Obama as Manchurian Candidate" stuff, or even that some shadowy group stakes out college students and finds one to plant their flag, but to each his own.
I do get your point of Khalilzad's bio and the Obama NY Times piece. People do have agendas, I just think much more can be chalked up to unhappy whimsy.
I just think the O Man is an astute political player and happened to hit things at the right time.
The times make the man, the man never makes the times.
No exceptions.
This thread basically says that Obama was the best thing they could come up with. And with that they are in trouble.
So lets take a look at the other side of the coin.
Can ony one honestly say that Mc Cain was the best thing that the republicans could come up with.
No ! Of course not.
Mc Cain was a sacrificial lamb for the party. He gave one for the Gipper.
They knew the shit was gonna hit the fan this time around. And they wanted no part of it.
Obama is a Republocrat. He is Bush-lite. He leans more to the center-right than the center-left.
Interesting take, RZ. Can't really argue with it. I think McCain could have won being the old man who craps in the punch bowl and tells America the party is over. No more bailouts, no more government largess, just blood, sweat, tears and toil as we all sacrifice to put it all back together. But no, he had to try to out Obama Obama...
I love how you put this, well written!
Thanks, Rebel! You set a pretty high standard over at your place.
