Republican Irrelevancy?

There has been a lot of this kind of posting going on here over the past few days, which begs the question: is it a coincidence that all of a sudden liberals are flooding CL with this theme...maybe a couple people off early on Christmas break with time to rant....or is this an organized effort? With the dawning of blogging as a means of effecting political change, CL is now no longer for amateurs, it is a forum for pro bloggers that make a pit stop here along with stops at the Huff Po and Daily Kos. Whichever the case, it doesn't make the rants any more cogent, in fact, if this is an organized effort, the Democrats are in big trouble because the threads have been some of the most illogical missives I've ever seen.

At least when W. was prez, one could choose from a myriad of mistakes to criticize and lampoon---It always is easier to criticize than it is to lead, but now that liberals have to govern, they are being exposed with the same tactics they engaged in for the last 8 years and are now playing defense. The only problem is that there is no defense because the legislation does not make any sense on paper, in common sense practice or in the polls.

All of the problems that the Democrats are having can be traced to one truism: the country is mostly conservative (notice I didn't say "republican.") This places stress on every candidate in a conservative district not to increase the debt or add any more entitlements. Since this plan is wrought with all of those, citizens will have their Xmas breaks to review all of the dirty details in the bill and there are many very disturbing paragraphs in the bill that even before conference committee will enrage the populace. When these Senators come back from recess it will be crystal clear that anyone who voted for this monstrosity will be on the chopping block unless they are ensconced in a liberal haven like Pelosi or Frank, but most Dems will have no where to hide and will be ousted.

There will be many high level changes coming like Harry Reid losing his seat, but all across the country there will be local changes that won't make the national news. Positions like comptrollers, assembly, district officers and county seats will go conservative due to the grass roots level the Tea Party is at, but also because at the local level the city populace won't be able to overwhelm the electorate.

My prediction is that by 2010 the Congress will flip back to republican control along with even more governor seats. The economy will quickly respond to the republicans dismantling all of the taxes and regulations enacted by the Democrats. Furthermore, since the stimulus and Health Care Bills don't go into effect until 2012, returning the money and dismantling the bureaucracy will be simple. The mistake the Democrats are forced into making is that in order to make the numbers crunch in their favor, they've had to collect up front for services that will come later. Money can always be returned, but once the entitlement is established, that is far more difficult to outsource (see Social Security).

Unfortunately for Obama, he will not be able to take credit for the turnaround because all of the seeds of weakness he has sewn abroad will come to fruition in the next 2 years. Iran will be fully armed and rattling its sabers, No. Korea will be capable as well and Yemen will emerge as a new haven for terrorism creating yet another front in the Middle east due our military diligence. I won't even go into the farce Global warming is and the negative view most Americans have of Obama as he tries to get us involved in restrictive emissions treaties.

What this all means is that in 4 years, one will be able to replace the word "republican" with "Democrat" in all of these "irrelevant" posts as of late. Power goes in cycles. Remember Carter?
