How out "Betters" are screwing up, especially in the Mid-East.

It would appear that they are so afraid of making a wrong decision, that they make no decision.  All the while forgetting that the enemy has a vote also.

I'm so tired of the administration worrying about its "optics" and its "legacy" that it dithers.  Especially our Ditherer-in-Chief. You can tell that he hates this country so much that he resents its power and the use thereof.   Is it 2016 yet?

I'm sick of half the country thinking that this country is the most racist, oppressive country that ever existed that only has the unbelievable wealth that it has by stealing it from other countries. (Obama is part of, and the representation of this half.)

However, I'm not looking forward to 2016 because I see no indication that the above referenced half of the country has made any move towards waking up.

Well, maybe when we don't have that unbelievable wealth any more will the understand what they pissed away.

I'm sure the GOP who replace them will be stalwart financial conservatives.

They'll probably also follow that up with a fiscally conservative presidential candidate too!

Christie/Ryan 2016: Because we are going to rub it in your face.  Again.

=========

Nothing I have heard from GOPers indicates that they understand how BHO pulled it off in 2012.  Romney spent big bucks on ads aimed at getting Undecideds motivated to vote for him at $10 a pop.  While BHO used software to find and target his base of hard lefties and motivated them at $0.10 a pop.

The base voters.  Elections are base turnout elections for the foreseeable future.  Main difference between the parties is that the Dems kinda like their base, while hte GOP despises theirs.  And the Dems know how to target their base.

Can you really call it a screw-up if he's doing it deliberately?

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

Maybe.... If he gets caught it's a screwup. If we figure it out its a screwup

I don't think he cares either way. Who's  gonna call him on any of it and make it stick?
Issa? Gowdy? Both are just engaged in political theater pandering to their base

You might have had a lot of undecided people years ago, but I agree with a comment I heard recently.  Undecided people are generally stupid and/or don't pay attention to politics and likely don't vote.  Spending all your effort on them is foolish.  If I ever meet someone who is either not already conservative or liberal, they generally just don't like politics and don't want to think about it.  I agree that motivating your base and more or less de-motivating the other guy's base is the way to go.

Reading that article talking about this, we just had Obama and McCain talking about sending troops to Syria to help the rebels there.  I don't buy this crap about indecision.  He may know exactly what to do to destroy this country domestically, but he don't know the first thing about foreign policy. 

Also, Democrats do not necessarily LIKE their base.  I think they just see them as useful idiots who are a means to an end.  People who believe the propagana BS they put out.

I think the disparity is at one point, the GOP did like their base, so it's just very apparent that as the Tea Party came about that they don't anymore.

The DNC never liked their "base". At least not since the "changeover" in the 1960's. Since then they've been an aggregator of disparate groups of competing interests. Blacks/minorities that hate gays, and Jews, Latinos, Asians etc., gays that look down on blue collar workers, blue collar workers who look down on greens who'd kill their jobs, trial lawyers, and New York/Hollywood elites who hate everyone etc.

What the DNC has is mastery of unification of hate. The only thing that these groups have in common is they all hate center-right Americans and free-market capitalism who might threaten, or merely refuse to subsidize their disparate pet causes.

It just kills me that we have the following:

1.  Democrats that put party before country.  It doesn't matter, as long as they retain power. Nothing is sacred, no oath, vow, or morals.  Do say whatever and just keep pushing forward the America destroying agenda.

2.  We have the JV.  Missy and Buffy and Tiffany (those Dept of State, etc. spokespeople), who think that if you bow down and "play nice" with homicidal dictators that they will see the errors of their ways, join hands with them, and go skipping off into the rainbow.   But remember, it's our fault that they are power-hungry madmen.  If we hadn't been so greedy, they would be our friends.
