Elections Tuesday

[briansd1]

I have no problem with Black Republicans. To me it’s a great sign of social progress.

I think someone asked that question before: what is “conservative”? How far back do we go back to “conserve”.

If anything, the election of Obama caused the Republicans to rethink their leadership and become more progressive.

I’d like so see more politicians who are socially progressive/liberal and fiscally prudent and restrained.

It looks like there is a “civil war” within the Republican party now. Which faction will win? Time will tell…

[quote=Arraya]Obama is spending money like a republican.[/quote]

I think that Carter’s biggest mistake was not spending.

Rather than talk about “malaise” and sacrifice he should have spent and spent. And he would have gotten reelected.

Reagan would then have faced harder choices.

All Reagan did was make Americans feel good about being cowboys while giving out government largess (defense pork, etc…)

[quote=CardiffBaseball]JC Watts could’ve done whatever he wanted, he chose to get out of politics. Black Republicans are all over. Hell I am guessing Lt. Col. Earl Woods and son Eldrick were not and are not sucking at the tit of Sharpton.

Be black, be conservative, just don’t be a spend-spend-spend liberal like Bush became.

Ever read any Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams?[/quote]

Cardiff: Sowell, Williams, Elder et al are not “real” blacks according to the Leftists/Democrats. Note their vilification and character assassination of conservative blacks like Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas and their use of terms like “Uncle Tom” to describe them.

If the cartoons of Condi Rice by Jeff Danziger, Pat Oliphant and Garry Trudeau showing a big lipped Black Mammy had been done similarly for Obama, you’d have heard howls of protest that would have raised the roof and cries of “racism” from all corners of Leftydom.

The sneering condescension, the hypocrisy and sanctimony is enough to make you retch. Hence, the use of terms like “prescience” (which is better than “omniscience” I suppose), which would be laughable if not so unutterably sad.

[quote=Huckleberry]This puts a major dent in Obama’s plan for big gov’t and big spending. Especially the healthcare initiative!

This will start the movement of gov’t gridlock.

Obama (and his administration) is on his way to being dead in the water.[/quote]

Really? Let’s see what happened. Two new D house members in favor of serious health care reform, one (Geramendi) more liberal than the D he replaced (Ellen Tauscher) and the other, a blue dog (Owens in NY-23) who moved left, not right in his campaign.

So Obama gets two new reliable votes in the house (one of which has been reliably republican in the past, and somehow that translates in a bad thing for him?

Fantasy trumps reality?
