(11,464 posts)Actually, this is 2013 now.
And you know what, FDR would have probably had the same crap against him today that
Hillary and President Obama have had.
And of course, Lincoln had alot of conspiracy theories against him too.
And I suppose the people who say dynasty, dynasty would have not been voting for any of the 3 Kennedy brothers let alone the populist liberal Jerry Brown, whose dad ran before him.
Face it, all of Hillary's so called dirt is well known and discarded like the trash it was.
Billions were wasted on a witchhunt over sex. (Yet the same people whine that today Elliott Spitzer and Anthony Weiner should be allowed back...how hypocritical.)
And just like President Obama had some idiot do a trash movie against him, just read two trash movies against hillary are coming(how original, yawn.) No one gave a spit then, many times more now won't give a spit. Because people are tired of the hate.
the six degrees of separation (like those that put down the esteemed Zig B. who was with Jimmy Carter, another true visionary and great person)
it all grows tiring.
Again, don't vote for Hillary? Then it's a vote for Sarah or Sanitorium or Hucklebee or Roger Ailes or Jeb or Rubio or Christie or Rudy or perhaps the single worst idea ever-Rand Paul who like his dad is 100% a BFF with the John Birch Society and David Duke.
And guess what, Hillary needs ZERO of those votes to get to 270 and far, far above it.
Here's a fact- 90% of the core Barack Obama voters think he is the best(myself included).
Add the people who wanted Hillary in 2008 and in 2016, and that is far more than 90% of the Democratic voters.
the others of course can whine til the cows come home, it makes no difference.
When the dust clears after 2016, it will be a major reallignment and in the years to come,
legislature will pass 80 to 20, and each year more and more extremists will be voted out.
And the most important, the US Supreme Court will change from 4 to 5 to 5 to 4 to 6 to 3 to 7 to 2 etc.
And the court some day will finally get a suitable replacement for Justice Thurgood Marshall.
Who shall be Barack Obama.
BTW-who would have voted for in 1952? Adlai or Eisenhower. I for one and millions like me
DID NOT LIKE Ike. Why anyone here seems to idolize him, I for one have no idea.
The 1950s were NOT ideal for probably 82% of today's democratic base.
It was NOT Happy Days back then socially.
and President Obama ran to unite the people. And it takes a long time.
While the media promotes the 50-50, it doesn't exist. Just to the media and extremists on both sides, who deathly fear anything but a 50-50, because it is their cottage industry and they make billions off of it.(Just ask multimillionaires Nader and the Paul family and all those alt-media people like Greenwald and Geraldo Rivera. Any of the lesser paid ones would instantly grab a job at Fox if they offered big bucks(Like Kucinich so eagerly did, along with teaming with Ron Paul on a lobby group think tank). $$$ for whine, their motto, pour me another glass of whine.
