Are the Democrats Finished?

[S.J.]

Just about everyone has a lazy streak in them. The Democrat's objective is to exploit that laziness with taxto secure their vote and they'll continue to do it as long as it works.

 

[The Rabbi]

If the Senate goes GOP,

then the argument the RWnuts used after the 2006 election becomes fair game, and that argument was, everything bad that happened from 2007 on was the fault of the Democrats winning a majority in Congress.

bon appetite, RWnuts, because that will be on the menu every day.

In fact, it'll be quite fun when the GOP is to blame for everything, and the RWnuts try to run away from it.

Yeah, like you don't already blame it for everything. You Obamabot nutters are funny.

The Dums have been blaming everything on either Bush or the Tea Party or the GOP reps in the House. They wont take responsibilituy for anything.

You are the one who won't take responsibility for supporting Bush and the GOP.

BOOSH.
Obama has been president for 6 years. Democrats have controlled Congress for 8 years. What responsibility will you tke for the shitty economy, the looming Iraq war, the disasterous reset with Russia, the Iranian nuclear fiasco, or a dozen other things?

 

[AvgGuyIA]

You have any facts or statistics at all to back up that swill.

Because the membership rolls of the Democratic Party, the voter registration stats in the 31 states that do them according to party affiliation, mid-term polling for the Senate horseraces, key HOR races and the generic meter do not back up your strange claims at all.

Were the Democratic Party finished, then Tillis would be swamping Hagan in North Carolina, a traditionally deep Red state that Mitt Romney reclaimed for the GOP in 2012. And yet, Hagan is still ahead and likely to win re-election.

Were the Democratic Party finished, then why must the RNC all of a sudden have to dump money into the South Dakota race?

We hear this meaningless crap from political hacks like you all the time and the swill never comes to fruition.

You are just frustrated because not everyone thinks like you think and this makes you angry like a 2nd grader who just lost his favorite toy.

The GOP is VERY likely to take the Senate, because electoral history patterns for mid-terms point clearly to the opposition party having the upper-hand in mid-terms, totally irregardless of the popularity of the sitting president (see: Eisenhower 1954, 1958. see: Reagan 1986. see: Clinton 1994. see Bush: 2006. see: LBJ 1966. See: Truman 1946 and 1950. See: FDR 1938 and 1942. See: Hoover 1930. See: Wilson 1918. See: Taft 1910. The list goes on and one and on).

Neither major political party is finished. One of the two major political parties is in danger of being shut out of presidential victories for a good long time due to demographic shifts across our great Union and that party's unwillingness to accept people who are not White and ultra-conservative, but neither party is "finished".

Your thread, as usual, is trash. And lacking in any real substance.

Now, go play with your tonka-toys.

. This is rich. You as a member of the party who founded the KKK sayIng the GOP is "unwilling to accept people who are not white" is laughable coming from the party who wrote Jim Crowe laws. Hell, even uber-liberal FDR put Klansman Hugo Black on the Supreme Court. Who really doesn't accept non-whites? It's not the GOP.

The facts are the GOP never enslaved a black, never hung one from a tree, never prevented him from voting. That is your party's heritage. And if you think times have changed, the only difference now is your methods have changed to keep blacks on the plantation.

The Dixiecrats left the Democrats along time ago.. The reminisce of their ideology is the GOP now...

The truth is demographics are against the GOP in its present form and the GOP is just going further to the right not trying to win the middle.

The GOP is on the wrong side of a lot of issues from the majority, strangely I think they are doing well considering that.. You can only rely on getting people to voting against there own interests for so long.

Untrue. All but one Dixiecrat remained democrat until the day they died. Why do we have to keep telling you people over and over? There is no progress with you damn progressives. We are constantly arguing the same points over and over. It's settled science.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

According to the Obamas, Democrat are too dumb to even realize there's an election in November

 

[Syriusly]

This seems to go in cycles. For years the Democrats couldn't get out of their own way. They were the party of nutjobs, fruitcakes, and guilty white men. The GOP reigned supreme

Yep cycles- the public gets disappointed by the Party in power.

Since the GOP continues to alienate minorities- and continues to believe that they could win IF only they just get more Konservative....there is a very good chance that the GOP will never elect a President again.

 

[paulitician]

If you're not trying to rig an Election, you have nothing to fear with Voter ID. That's just the reality. To claim otherwise, is just plain dishonesty.

This is the Republican message that ensures that African Americans continue to vote Democratic.

Thank you for your support.

You just contradicted yourelf but OK.

The GOP will sweep the next election as Democrats have no one to offer but Liz Warren and class warfare.

[SmedlyButler]

.

The Republicans have the advantage in 2014 due to the fact that Democrats have to defend so many Congressional seats.

The Democrats have the advantage in 2016 for the same reason.

Then there's the presidential election in 2016.

I guess we'll see. Since the Republicans have decided that there's no reason to tell the electorate why they should vote for them, it should be interesting.

.

I agree that the Republicans have to decide what they stand for and then communicate that to the electorate. Right now their branding is a party for old white people and xenophobes. That doesn't work well enough anymore, this isn't a country that accepts blindly old white men's ideas any longer. All they've communicated in the last six years is an anti-Obama agenda. Now that is simplistic I admit but branding is inherently simplistic. If their vision for America is a vision that can inspire the world in the 21st century like it did in the 20th century where are their big ideas? How is America going to lead the world in science like it once did. How are Americans going to become the best educated, the most tolerant, the shining example of Democracy for the rest of the world again? The one idea - lower taxes - that they communicate the most clearly is fine, but how is that going to square with their other idea that America must continue to play policeman for the rest of the world? No, being the party of resistance to change isn't going to cut it in the 21st century. Somehow they have to come up with a vision for change. I'm not saying that they have to adopt a liberal map to the future, just to show that they do have a destination and a reasonable path to lead the country down. Right now too many people see them as a party that erects roadblocks, not signposts.

 

[AceRothstein]

No. The GOP will probably take the Senate by a fairly slim margin, most likely 52 or 53 seats. Based on the states that will be up in 2016, there's a good chance the Senate is held by the Democrats come 2017. The House will stay in the hands of the GOP for the foreseeable future due to gerrymandering and the White House will stay Democrat as the electoral college greatly favors them at this time. The electoral college floor and ceiling is much higher for Democratic candidates.

 

[Rikurzhen]

Right now their branding is a party for old white people and xenophobes.

Why do you think that old white people find race-neutral and anti-racist policies appealing and why don't black and Hispanic voters find them similarly appealing?

Secondly, the largest defection of white Obama voters came from those under the age of 30.

Thirdly, with the exception of the 2008 election, every election cycle for the last few decades has seen the Republicans increasing their share of the white vote and this has been accomplished without any white-focused policies from the Republicans. These voters aren't pulled into the Republicans with bribes, they're pushed out of Democratic factions by a feeling of rejection of what the Democrats have become.

That doesn't work well enough anymore, this isn't a country that accepts blindly old white men's ideas any longer.

Sure it is. Look at who the Democrats are running in this election:

In the 71 races they are contesting, 66 of the 71 candidates the Democrats are running (93%) are white, 56 of the 71 (79%) are male, and 53 of 71 (75%) are white males​

 

[NoNukes]

Why do so few Blacks vote Republican?

Because the Republicans don't offer any race-based bribes to blacks like do the Democrats.

Not the free stuff bullshit again. I am still waiting for my free stuff.

The GOP will take the Senate and increase seats in the House. In 2016 the GOP will control both Congress and Presidency. By 2018 the GOP will have apppointed 2 supreme court justices and this country might have a prayer.

We don't have a prayer, even if your election predictions come true. Destruction is now locked in. Thanks liberals. America was nice while it lasted.

 

[JoeB131]

Joey never gives up on the lies he spreads for the Democrat party

Not an once of honor left in him when it comes to THE PARTY

Uh, yeah, again, I was a Republican for 30 years. And all I have to show for it is a busted 401K and an underwater mortgage.

 

[JoeB131]

You love how it's always the Gop that is on the "wrong side of the issues"?

As if this whole country is liberal/Democrats. that's the people and party whose nose is in air telling others how they are on the wrong side of the issues

Well, when your whole philosophy is getting people to vote against their own economic interests by playign on their racial, religious and sexual fears, you can't NOT be on the wrong side of history.
