"which IS a trend, or at least the start of one." mmarsh
That is a trend? Guess that trend ended rather abruptly.
Most political trends do. Its rare that political trends last more then a decade.
Many different ways? Any way you slice it his policies are losing Democrat's votes. If his course corrections continue to diminish his party where will the Democrats be?
Anyway I slice it? Hmm OK. How about the Newsweek poll 2 weeks ago that showed Obama approval at 54%? But I am guessing FOX NEWS decided to leave that part out. The fact is that you are already counting out the Democrats, when the Democrat position still is quite strong. The Dems hold the Senate and White House thats 2 versus 1. And the GOP position will be much weaker in 2012 than it was this year.
No you didn't, you said, "or at least the start of one." See above comments.
Still arguing semantics again...BOORRRRR-ING!!!!
Yada! Yada! Yada! Back to those evil Republicans.
Where is your conversation?
"Now do you what to have a real conversation on the Democratic Party or do you want to keep pussyfooting around?"mmarsh
If people were to visit your past posts they would find you a broken record: Wah, Wah, Wah, it is those evil Republicans that are ruining the world!:crybaby:
My defensive aren't we? Don't like criticism do we? As if your anti-democrat posts are any different. Once again your hypocrisy blinds you.
This topic is about the Democrats failure to deliver on their promises and the subsequent loss of support. You want to whine about the GOP start your own topic.
Jesus, You dont even read your own posts! How pathetic is that? The topic states INCREDIBLE SHRINKING DEMOCRATIC PARTY (your words, not mine). It doesn't say anything about failure to deliver on promises in the subject or in your first post either. So Ill stick to the topic AS YOU WROTE IT.
Lets be honest: you started this thread to gloat about the election. Which is fine, you can enjoy your victory. But don't start a thread here and not expect people not to disagree with you. Get this through your thick head: THIS ISN'T WWW.FREEREPUBLIC.COM. ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
"If I were him I would start by course correcting by Ignoring the obstructionist GOP and start reconnecting with my BASE,"quote mmarsh
If you were him you would not"Ignor the obstructuinist GOP",[/I] since that is all you ever talk about. How is President Obama going to ignore the party that controls the House of Representatives? He is at least smart enough to know he will have to try and work with them.
Don't know much about pol-sci do we? The answer is: A LOT. Congress only controls the money, He can still get a lot of things done without them. For example Foreign policy. He can get more involved in the Middle East. He can get involved as CnC. He can enforce laws already on the books..like financial reform (something the GOP will go ape s**t about) and other regulatory statues, also Enviromental regulations. There are tons of things he can do without the House.
Encourage Working with the GOP? Were you paying attention at all in 2009-2010? Obama got on his knees and sucked GOP c**k in order to try and get a deal with the GOP on healthcare. And the sad part about it was he didn't need to it, He could have used reconciliation to pass it without the GOP. And despite him NOT using strong-arm tactics, the GOP spat on him anyway.
And what about both McConnell and also Bohners statements concerning future cooperating with Obama? Let me refresh your memory
"our primary goal is to make sure Obama stays a one term president". -Mitch McConnell. Yeah, real spirit of bi-partisanship there.
Want to run that "Obama lack of cooperation with the GOP" line on me again, or you going to stick with self-delusion.
The fact that Obama tried to get the GOP on board is what pissed the liberals off the most. If anything Obama needs to abandon his idea about bipartisanship (there isn't any) and reconnect with his base.
So quit"pussyfooting around"and "have a real conversation on the Democratic Party".
Oh and Copying my own text? Shows a unsurprising lack of originality. Very, very, lame. You keep that up and we might have to find ourselves a new milforum Troll.
