Evan03 User ID: 1376616 United States 07/20/2011 01:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Democratic Party, as we have known it for the past 70 years, is now in its last days. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1464776Yes, the House Republicans may raise the debt ceiling for a mix of spending cuts and revenue raisers. Yes, Barack Obama may win the 2012 presidential contest. Yes, bureaucrats and judges will continue to impose new and costly regulations on the economy. But it doesn’t matter. The long-term trends are almost all bad news for the left wing of the party. This week’s fight over raising the federal debt limit exposes a key weakness in the warfare-welfare state that has bestowed power onto the Democratic Party: Without an ever-growing share of the economy, it dies. Every vital element of the Democrats’ coalition — unions, government workers, government contractors, “entitlement” consumers — requires constant increases in payments, grants and consulting contracts. Without those payments, they don’t sign checks to re-elect Democrats. more [link to blogs.forbes.com] It's true, thats why we have seen a rise in conservatism. It's not because the repubs have good ideas. Or that they are clear of corruption. It's because people are waking up, and want to truly be free.

Monadnock User ID: 1498831 United States 08/12/2011 03:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You're wrong OP. An Obama-Clinton could pull it out of the fire. No one is more qualified than Hillary Clinton as VP. First Lady, US Sen.(D-NY), Sec. of State. She's not tainted by the economy and will fire up women and the Democratic base while Obama brings out the Black Vote. The economy will recover by '13 or 14 which places her in an excellent position for 2016. Captain Marjorie, US Army |
