封封 World & US come to an end - anti-Democratic tsunami predicted for November 封封

Edited on Thu Apr-22-10 03:52 PM by breadandwine

Numerous sites are now quoting former Democratic NY Mayor Ed Koch as predicting that this November there is going to be an "anti-Democratic tsunami."

This is more real than many of you think because:

1) Obama never fixed the server hacking problem that even stole votes from him. Our election system is still being rigged with electronic voting. The tea bagger hysteria gives the elections riggers cover so they can say it wasn't the fault of the servers, it was the right wing gun nuts etc.

2) A lot of people aren't motivated to vote in mid-term elections and the fanatics vote. The right is angry and energized and the left is demoralized. The right wing's canned hate is helping to fuel this demoralization because we only hit back with kid gloves at best. The mass media is predicting defeat for the Democrats and this adds to the propensity of Democratic voters to stay home, sulk, and nurse their wounds in private. It all becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Before you blame MY prophesy here, consider that I'm not saying this in the mass media. The MASS MEDIA is saying it all on their own without my help.

3) Obama is doing nothing about Iran getting the atom bomb and by November they will have one and the GOP will be screeching that it's all Obama's fault. It will be like the 1950s when the hollering was about "Who let Russia get the bomb?!" We Democrats are acting like deer in headlights.

The hysteria you are seeing now on the right actually plays into GOP hands because it is a COVER for more election rigging.

President Obama made the same mistake President Clinton did. He pinned everything on healthcare. What we have in Obama's case is indeed a healthcare bill that passed but it is a far cry Medicare for all, which is so simple that only a fool would have thought that was a bad idea. What DID pass is not very appealing even to Democratic voters. Everybody would have accepted Medicare for all as it is something millions already have so it can't be denounced with fear mongering. Why President Obama didn't go for that instead of a convoluted plan that most people don't understand and which voters are very frightened of even now I'll never know. President Clinton lost Capitol Hill because of healthcare and so is Obama and nobody has a solution for how to rescue the situation.

These are the facts.

Combine this with a Democratic Party that won't fight and is full of WIMPS and can't hit back and you have the perfect storm for a GOP takeover. Also add to the mix that the fascist Supreme Court legalized election buying and there is going to be a tsunami of corporate cash buying elections this time around. The Supreme Court just perpetrated a judicial coup d'etat, nothing less, and everybody is acting like nothing happened, whistling in the graveyard instead of taking to the streets. People should have taken to the streets during the Supreme Court coup of 2000 and didn't then either. The only way to wrestle the political climate back to the Democrats is to GET ANGRY but nobody in the Democratic leadership is doing that.

Don't tell me not to "panic." We heard that for years while the Democrats brought knives to gunfights and going back even to that wimp Dukakis who wouldn't hit back. Don't panic! Don't panic! We're fine! And then Dukakis got CREAMED.

The Democrats are in for a disaster. We are headed for a fascist takeover for all intents and purposes, massive global warming because the GOP won't stop it, the loss of Obama's second half of his presidency and with that the loss of his reelection in 2012 and the dream come true for many of the fascists now running around in these tea party activities.

You think all this is not going to happen? Where is the evidence?

Obama spent a year chuckling while all these fascists lied and screamed about him. In the words of Shakespeare, "His antique sword, rebellious to his arm, lies where it falls, repugnant to command." (Hamlet, Act 2 Scene 2.)

In the words of Cervantes, "Forewarned, forearmed." So don't shoot the messenger here. Nobody in the Democratic Party is fighting the way the Republicans do. Lie after lie has been spread and nobody is making COUNTER ACCUSATIONS. Democrats are being almost prissy while the GOP is acting outraged, astroturf to be sure, but outrage every night on the news.

By the way, Rahm Emanuel is quitting the White House to go run for mayor of Chicago. Many people think he is a DLC rat. He certainly sucks up to the right, big time. But why is he suddenly LEAVING? Could it be he is a rat leaving a sinking ship? What does Rahm know that some other Democrats don't?

What - I - know is what I just said in this opening post. You can believe it and start fighting. Or you can twitter that "We're fine!" which is always the last bleating of wimpy campaigns that refuse to fight.

Say what you want. Over and over progressive bloggers and progressive radio hosts have been screaming that the DLC has been destroying the Democratic Party with its unilateral disarmament and they're right. Go argue with them if you will. In the words of Harry Truman, "If you run a Republican against a Republican, the Republican will win every time."

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee is being run by a wimp who replaced Howard Dean and the wimp doesn't believe in the 50 state strategy. All we have is one electoral defeat after another and the DLCer in Chief Emanuel running for the exit SO HE WON'T TAKE THE BLAME.

Anything else you need me to add, for those of you who still have blinders on their eyes?

This is an EXACT RERUN of the takeover of Congress by the GOP in the 1994 midterm elections under Clinton, only now the stakes are so much higher, because the whole planet is threatened by global warming. The GOP will also destroy net freedom. Just listen to the tea party people if you want an idea of the fascist state they're contemplating, because nothing is beyond their evil designs.

This is a party of TOTAL WIMPS.
