Operation Chaos rides again!

Seems to me, the reports are that the GOP has held together/stood firm and the Dems are having fits in the DEBT CRISIS.

I don’t seem to remember it being reported that way all the way back to Friday.

As orgasmically fun as this would be, I can’t imagine it happening. The only scenario where I can see anyone but Obama being the Democratic nominee is if he declines to run. At this point, I’d much rather be running against him than her.

Bet on it.

This is ot, but it turns out eric is even more correct than he knows. not only will the boehner plan result in a downgrade, but S&p is on recoird that the Rid plan is better, so the dems can say if only we had listened to them, we would have our AAA rating

I can get Sanders’ frustration. They won everything that mattered in 2008, and could have used the opportunity to implement dozens of little things that would have taken forever to undo.

But simply winning wasn’t enough for The One. No, he wasn’t going to be happy with anything other than total submission from the GOP, and that meant them buying into his agenda so they’d have nothing to run against him and his party on, ever again.

From Sanders’ point of view, that showed lack of courage of conviction from Obama. For surely, Sanders must be thinking, if Obama had just kept focus on implementing his agenda and not worried about the impotent minority, things would have worked out just fine and even the massive backlash of 2010 need not have happened.

Of course Obama’s game plan would have been glorious in Sanders’ eyes had it worked, and it might even have done, had the Tea Party not arisen and sundered any thoughts of meek submission by the minority party.

That, I think, was Obama’s biggest failing in Sanders’ book, not reading the field and realizing that the time had come to simply ram through as much as possible and take whatever hit would come as a result. To Sanders, we needed more scenes of Pelosi and the giant gavel, defying the angry crowds on their way to pass the wildly unpopular legislation, not less.

Of course, back in the real world, primarying Obama would be a disaster for the Dems, as it would simply validate every criticism we’ve made of the man. I think in the end the Dems are going to have to brazen it out and pretend Obama’s actually been a great president, just because to do otherwise would be too self-effacing. But stranger things have happened.

I have limited myself to no more than two progressive acquaintances, and both of them are “disappointed” in Obama…one because he has a college degree and can’t find a job, and one because she has her own business but has few customers now because of the economy.

I think that not only the socialist wing of the Democrat Party but basic run of the mill liberals are weary of this President. Not sure they’ll throw him under the bus because then they would be the ones labeled as racists, but it’s a real possibility they might just sit out the 2012 election.

A primary challenge to the Dear Leader would be about as effective as the challenge by Ted Kennedy (D-Chappaquiddick) to Jimmy Carter in 1980. Don’t get me wrong – it would be enjoyable, but unsuccessful. The Democrat nomination process is a stacked deck favoring the incumbent.

We just need to coalesce around a candidate to challenge the Dear Leader. (A certain incumbent Governor from the northeast, perhaps.)

bound and gagged. RMJ, I would advise you not under any circumstances to attempt to enter the carnage, the carrion house of the leftist mind. The mere attempt could be toxic. Best to stand apart and judge the ravings on a case by case basis and leave the pollution to postmortem forensics.
It might also be proper to refrain from calling these things “Progressives”, and capitalized yet. It bestows a type of legitimacy ill suited to their atavistic politics, more attuned to a ancient Mesopotamian tyrant, and allows them to think themselves normal, if not superior.
In the meantime, may they eat each other.

Mesopotamian tyrants. During Mein Obama’s “I Won!” Phase, he and his cohorts seemed more like the Ba’ath Party than any similar American political organization.

I would register Dem just to vote for her in my state’s primary. How sweet it would be to see Obama defend himself against Republicans and Democrats.

She was sorely lacking Foreign Policy chops (Like Obama had any himself).
Ever since she took SecState (former First Lady, NY Senator) I have been convinced he is not running again. He may be “campaigning”, but actually it is just collecting money. He rolled in $47 million in one quarter. He will collect a few hundred million and bail with the money for higher good. And if you ask for your money back, well then you are a racist. The, he supports Hillary as another historic “first”.

Why did she take a job working for someone she absolutely despises and hates with every bone in her body?

He will move on to collect his money owed from Soros, Islamists, Petrobras, Trial lawyers, Unions among a few.

Billions await him. He will be called Mr. President all his life, Secret Service detail for life, (and you don’t think he will ask for some life time services even beyond that?) and undying (read: insane) admiration from the 15% or so that support him.

Let him collect. Unless there is a God. Which there is.

Any attempt to primary Obama is doomed from the onset, because it would cleave the Dem party along racial lines, and without the same black turnout as 2008, he can’t win. If Obama is not the nominee, balcks woudl just stay home in droves.

There is one possible scenario. By year’s end..economy is tanking even more, his polls are in the 30% range. The Senate is gone. Trying to avert a wipeout,,,senior Dems ask him not to run…(he’s hinted at this himself a few times..IOt would have to be carefully orchestrated..to seem that he’s not being tossed under the bus, in order to keep the black vote home.

And there couldn’t be an open race..the Dems would pretty much have to decide en masseon the candidate. Like many, I thought Hillary, till I saw that pic of her in a muu-muu.

It woudl have to be her..if so..if it’s even possible..then look for her to resign as SecState sometime this fall..

16 months where nothing positive occurs, and things get slightly to noticeably worse.

There are any number of reasons/excuses/scenarios for Obama not to be the nominee. One of them will prove true, because he is unelectable, and unless the Dems write off an entire cycle, they have no choice but to find someone else. It is convincing the Someone Else they have a chance which will prove most difficult.

. . .in the Progressive mind, so they will wait WAY too long before making any serious acknowledgements of Reality.

That said, the Primary would be surreal, as you note. Only the craziest of the crazy would even bother trying. I don’t think HRC would even consider it; Kerry might be desperate enough. And there is always High Priest Sunshine, fresh from saving the world. . .
