Suggesting that what is currently happening in the world of politics will have little or no affect on what will happen down the road (2012 and beyond) is, to put it mildly, absurd. The fact of the matter is that, what is going on in respects to the fate of the Democratic Party in November of this year and in the foreseeable future, as well as Barack Obama's chances for reelection in 2012 are looking rather bleak - if not disasterous. In fact, I fully expect a virtual bloodbath in November - and I don't think it's going to get any better for Obama and friends in 2012. Clearly, you are totally oblivious to the facts, in a complete state of denial or just plain stupid. Perhaps - just perhaps, I can enlighten you. There is a political revolution going on out here/there. And it is growing by the day - not only in numbers, but also in strength and momentum. What's driving that revolution is a whole bunch of disenfranchised and angry folks and are an intrinsic part of, what is commonly being referred to as the "Tea Party" - and, in reality, are made up of a whole bunch of smaller grass roots organizations. According to a relatively recent Rassmussen poll they are more popular than both the Republican and Democratic Parties. Surprise - surprise. The "Tea Party" doesn't align itself with either the Republican or Democratic Parties. It's "membership" are essentially core conservatives than not - most of whom are simply fed up with with the political status quo that NOW permeates Government (in general). Their impact on Government; of late and of the future is and will be quite profound - guaranteed! Sadly for the Democrats, they (the "tea Party") will side with and vote for definably more conservative Republican candidates in the primaries, but will, in almost all cases, vote Republican (or anti-Democrat) in the general elections. Without further elaboration on the matter, I'll close by saying that, If I were a person running for any kind of political office, I certainly wouldn't want a (D) in front of my name. It would most likely be my demise - at least politically.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-59402056135795006602010-02-05T15:01:18.390-05:002010-02-05T15:01:18.390-05:00The bigger issue is gonna be what the results of t...The bigger issue is gonna be what the results of the census is. <br /><br />In my home state of Connecticut all 5 Representatives are Democrat, and if CT loses a seat(a unlikely prospect), it's gonna be interesting how's gonna be left out.The Original Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17049894195779668913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-24990551946914562082010-02-05T12:44:37.410-05:002010-02-05T12:44:37.410-05:0013% and 10% seem like relatively small numbers, bu...13% and 10% seem like relatively small numbers, but when you apply that to the roughly 70 million people who voted for Obama.
