Limiting Obama's power

PJ, I don't put much stock in "feelings" good or bad. Reality is the words and actions of people. What they say and what they do. Not what they feel.

The republicans could easily screw it up. There has been as massive surge in popularity for libertarian political movements over the last few years, on both the right and the left, as witnessed by the enormous amount of popular support for Ron Paul. The republicans could, in theory, capitalize on that, but they would have to move away from catering to the evangelicals on things like gay marriage and abortion. If they were to focus on economic issues and government encroachment, they would win handlily. The problem is that in doing so, a lot of entrenched republican politicians would be tossed out, and they don't want that. The traditional GOP power based as we know it would no longer be relevant, and for many the politicla power they hold is more important than any ideological commitment.

Well-appreciated.

"Maybe if Republicans would play (and play hard) on that in 2014, fortunes could reverse again, and then what will all the liberal posters say?"

They don't necessarily need to play hardball. In 1994, the democratic "strategy" of implimeting weapons bans cost the democrats both the house and the senate, the former of which they had held for 60 years. And now they are repeating those same practicesand expecting different results.

I'm not a huge fan of Republicans, but I suspect that the Feinstein Bill will ensure that they are back in control of the Senate by 2014, and depending on the direction that democrats go, it is entirely possible to expect a fully red government in 2016.

I was lostending to Markos Moulitsas on XM last night, and he was indicating that by 2016 the country was going to be ready to accept the strict limits on freedom proposed by progressives. I think he's crazy, that in fact just the opposite will prove to be true.

Why is it? Why is it that those who steal guns, and kill movie goers and children in school are always Democrats, and not conservatives or NRA members? Ft Hood shooter - Registered Democrat – Muslim Columbine shooters - Too young to vote; both families were registered Democrats and progressive liberals Virginia Tech shooter - Registered Democrat - Wrote hate mail to President Bush and to his staff. Colorado Theater shooter - Registered Democrat; staff worker on the Obama campaign; Occupy Wall Street participant; progressive liberal Connecticut School Shooter - Registered Democrat; hated Christians Congresswoman Gabby Giffords’ shooter – leftist, registered democrat Common thread is that all of these shooters were progressive-types. Why is that the media always tells us that conservative NRA-type gun-owners are the real danger?

"House Democratic leaders tried to persuade their members to vote against the deal, so as to force as many Republicans as possible to vote to do something most said they would never do: lift the debt ceiling. But 86 Democrats voted yes, more than enough to let 33 Republicans vote no without bringing the bill down and handing Republican leaders an embarrassing defeat.

"House Republicans say punting the debt ceiling to May 18 is not so much a retreat as a “re-sequencing” of the coming budget showdowns. House Republicans now take for granted that the first deadline, March 1, will come and go, and $110 billion in across-the-board spending cuts to military and domestic programs — known as a sequester — will go into force."

"...the House legislation included a provision that would withhold the pay of lawmakers in a chamber of Congress that fails to pass a budget blueprint by April 15.

"That allowed House Republicans to turn a spotlight on Senate Democrats, who have not passed a detailed budget blueprint since 2009."

How many times has this appeared lately on numerous sites? Very childish but gives the mouse and index finger an excuse to get more exercise. He'll no doubt come back with some other finger pointing but will just show his intelligence quotient.

disgusted can be attributed with the quote of the day: "you can't expect anyone to outperform their capabilities. He seems limited to C&P and to regurgitate what others have written."

President Barack Obama is biased against Republicans, says Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly.

“It's pretty clear that he doesn't like them because he feels that they are the purveyors of white privilege,” O’Reilly said during an interview with Washington Post editor Bob Woodward on "The O’Reilly Factor" show.

“He's never going to say that, but that's the theme that runs through his advisers: the white privilege has to be broken down.”

Woodward disagreed, saying, “I just think he doesn’t agree with Republicans on their agenda. He’s hurting his own cause.”

But O’Reilly didn’t give up. “The Republican agenda, in the president's mind, props up white privilege,” he said. “Therefore, as the social justice champion, he has to tear that down. He doesn't like the white privilege thing, and he doesn't like the Republicans trying to defend it. That's the seed.”
