I do feel all of this Dem inner fighting may kill the chances |
|
I can't really decide if the Repubs should win in 2008 and with a strong majority of Dems in the house and senate to be veto proof is what we need or one of the three Dems .
The Dems are killing themselves with their bashing of eachother and people here and on other sites are not helping .
My wife listens to S Miller in the mornings and in the past week can't listen any more because Miller seems to be on this Obama cult trip constanly bashing Hillary .
Even Hillary and Obama are at battle now since the Iowa thing .
I don't hear the repubs bashing eachother like this .
I must agree even though I don't know which Dem I support at this point that getting a Dem in office is the first priority , we must realize this election is important however things are not going to flip over in 4 years where the sun shines in , it's going to take decades to un-due the damage the bush admin has done , people need to real;ize this and not hope and wish for some spirit to fly in a save us .
Once the public becomes caught up taking sides as in my god is better than yours the entire machine breaks down .
These candidates are not rock stars nore should they be in a fashion contest and certainly not some sort of cult leader . It is the people who make this so , the candidates advisors do base tactics on opinions to a point . If you want your point to become loud enough leave out the insane inner battles and focus on the issues , not crap about who took drugs or how they look , what we have is far past the past .
When people get into issues of race and gender then we are no better than the freak we have now in office .
People said never again , well keep this up and forget never again or we won't get fooled again and just place the word sucker across your back or kick me hard and walk away with what you created .

2. A veto proof majority in 2009 is out of the question. |
|
A perfect storm would get us to a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.
Incumbents are far too entrenched in Washington.

3. is it Super Tuesday yet? |

Are the primaries over yet?
This is not a 'sky is falling' post, of which I am sure there have been thousands. I am an actual undecided who will be voting for the eventual Democratic nominee come this November regardless of who it is, but here is a question I have.
Are the Dems reverting back to our 'circular firing squad' ways again? Will thousands of voters be turned off due to the slashing and burning that is going on in the MSM and apparently here as well as throughout the blogosphere?
We've got rampant sexism and racism, false sexism and reverse racism. We've everything short of a monkey throwing feces on the evening news. Will this stop before February 5th, when we will hopefully be finished with all of this primary garbage? I can't wait until this is over so that we can join together and turn against the Repukes.

4. This new media meme is playing people up like a bad dream |
|
it is ready made for ratings and to keep eyeballs on screens... but it is ALSO PROJECTION from the Republican Party
Reality is if we have clean elections (fat chance) the dems should win.
Notice the caveat though... clean elections... so we need an excuse that will explain why dems lost once again

This has become a show for all to see. All of this racism/sexism mud is a show for the repubs and independents who are looking for a candidate. I think we are showing the way to years of either racism or sexism charges if either Obama or Clinton becomes president. Democrats are the ones demonstrating this. The undecideds will just decide - who needs this crap - and look elsewhere. Victory for the GOP.
We should all be celebrating the milestones of this primary season instead of mutually assired destruction.
