Dick Morris is predicting possibly the biggest Democratic bloodbath ever, in November.
Thanks to the leadership of President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid, the Democratic Party is facing the biggest defeat in midterm elections in the past 110 years, perhaps surpassing the modern record of a 74-seat gain set in 1922. They will also lose control of the Senate.
And he’s got lots of company. Why, some crack Republican analysts are already talking about how the party will increase its 2010 gains in the 2012 election, resulting in “a filibuster-proof Senate.”
Three problems arise with this scenario: Specifically, regarding Morris, his constant predictions rarely turn out right. (I don’t know who’s a worse handicapper: Morris or the New York Times’ Tom Friedman.) You’re better off flipping a coin. Second, the Republicans and their friends (Morris is a political chameleon) have a recent history of suffering from premature celebration, and then quitting. And third, the John Doe calling himself “Barack Obama” has at his disposal the biggest vote fraud and vote suppression machine, this side of Zimbabwe (ACORN, SEIU, the New Black Panther Party, etc.).
Do Republicans have the grit to ferret out vote fraud, clear out the black supremacist gangsters, demand and get election officials to check “voters’” ID, and not be intimidated by the now routine Democrat/MSM hoax, asserting that white men with guns suppressed the black and Hispanic vote? Because if they don’t have what it takes, they can kiss their ‘historic victory’ goodbye. In that case, we will instead hear of “miraculous” Democratic comebacks, the way we heard of “Obama’s” amazing victories in all of the early caucuses in 2008.
I have much more faith in my ten-year-old’s ability to ensure an honest election, than I do in the professional “experts” in charge of the Republican Party.
The political pundit who is wrong again and again and who stays in print and on TV is pretty standard. I recall Fred Barnes, who was then political writer for the New Republic, predicting a Democratic victory in 1988. Early in 1992, Barnes wrote that Bill Clinton was likely finished. Did being wrong hurt Barnes? Not at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's unlikely the GOP will take the Senate. Taking the House is as much as can be hoped for.

One might also ask if the Republicans will end affirmative action, ethnic studies programs, minority grants, open borders and the rest of the system which props up anti-White activism in this country. The thing is, it will do little good to place Republicans in the Congress if they simply let the same old system remain in place.
ReplyDeleteAnother point to ask is if the Republicans will be supporting their own grass roots activism, such as conservatives on campus, community organizers--and the Tea Party.
I've been trying to make similar points at various movement-conservative sites, to counter all the rah-rah-republicans who are just certain that salvation will arrive come November. I don't care how many whites or pseudo-conservatives are more eager to vote; the massive voter registration fraud will easily cancel a lot of them out and I, too, fully expect to see lots of "surprise" democratic victories in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI was enough of a chump to work at a poll in '08; even if there were a photo ID requirement (which Texas is still unable to pass over democratic hurdles), you're still only verifying that someone in front of you has an ID matching a name that was registered. The place to start is with the state elections people and checking the initial registration, and even then the judicial branch can usually be counted on to uphold the fraud (was it here, or another site, where I read of illegal Somali votes skewing a local election in Ohio and the judge upheld it on the grounds that no one ought to be "disenfranchised?").
If the Republicans don't crap out before the election, they will crap out after it. You can count on that.
ReplyDeleteI hope, when the Republican base is betrayed yet again by the Republican establishment, it will wake those people up, but I doubt it
I think you're right, David.
ReplyDelete"One might also ask if the Republicans will end affirmative action..."
ReplyDeleteYou are not being a good camper, Cal.
"Another point to ask is if the Republicans will be supporting their own grass roots activism, such as conservatives on campus, community organizers--and the Tea Party."
Sure; why not? "Support" them, in the sense of using them, in order to regain power. Then marginalize them, mock 'em in private, and put 'em out to pasture, the way Bush II handled the Evangelicals.
"I've been trying to make similar points at various movement-conservative sites..."
ReplyDeleteHave they been letting you post your arguments?

You read it somewhere else, but I've heard of the case.
Did Ohio state officials appeal the ruling? I don't know the name of the judge's logical fallacy offhand, but I do know that there was legal basis for his ruling, because it is impossible to "disenfranchise" someone who does not have the franchise.
Bingie,
ReplyDeleteReading these comments is making me very depressed.
"I hope, when the Republican base is betrayed yet again by the Republican establishment, it will wake those people up, but I doubt it"
They only seem to get really mad at Democrats. But that's middle-aged and older Republicans. I don't see many young people, beyond those on the make, getting excited about the GOP. The party may ultimately succeed at obliterating a generation of Republicans... and with it, a nation.
I need a drink. Lemme go and down a slug of soy milk, straight, no chaser.
