I think Formerlurker has a very good point. I think the Obamasissia is as much a cynical manipulator as Billy Jeff Too. One doesn't reach the purple the way they did without having a very good understanding of how they got there.
- The hard left dummies are tools to be used and thrown away
- They can change on a dime to achieve goals if they think it will help them. Remember Sam Irvin was a hero to the left during the Nixon impeachment years.
- even when they are angry, they will show up, unlike conservatives
Now for Barry, he just need to copy the Clinton playbook, which to a large degree he already has, by bringing in their people. Hillary is to be pushed under the bus sooner rather than later.
As for his socialist agenda, Bush has already achieved all that for him. He just needs to consolidate the gains. Like Stalin, he can use a NEP period to work in the background in the Justice department and the military, and let the economy go. The best way to do that is to drop all his economic proposals behind the desk and let things roar for a while. Then when the Dummies make a lot of racket, he can do his Rhoem/Trotsky purge to the cheers of all the clueless moderates who put him in office.
As to Palin in 2012, by then it will be too late. Not for her, but for the country. I think she could win in a heartbeat, if the election were to be held.
Very astute, especially the bit about using the far left wackos as the tools they are. Their bleating won't be heard by anybody, especially after the coronation.
And yep, Hillary is also expendable. For one, I'm astounded she actually accepted the SecState gig. Besides having to suck up to His Holiness, where does she go from there? Once she is purged, returning to the Senate isn't an option. And she's too power-mad to just not "do" anything.
Well, she can make a lot of money on the speaking circuit. There are tons of idiots out there just hanging off her every word.
