Since the Democratic party's theme for the mid term elections

[Guest]

is, as usual, it is Bush's fault.....see what we inherited....the famous "previous 8 years"...and the clincher, you don't want to go back to that, do you...

the typical lame approach we have been hearing for 18 months. Never what Obama did or didn't do....always what Bush did or didn't do.

So, my question given this is the strategy (lame as it is)....what is their response likely to be when they lose more in November than anticipated?

My guess is it will sound very much like the response after the MASS election upset....something like it is not really an indicator of the nation as a whole, or the other strategy assisted by the media....silence!!!

I do hope we the people do not wander away from the synergy of voting out the incumbents....let us "pray".

The Drudge Report headline for the article was.....MO says NO to O...

So now we shall see if Obama and his administration has the nerve to sue the state of MO and go against the so very obvious will of the people as in AZ!!

We the people are coming to the fore, Thank "GOD".

Running against a disliked predecessor rather than defend your own record has a long tradition in American and World Politics. This tradition exists because, in many cases, it works. The Grand Champion of this strategy was FDR. He, and the rest of the Democratic party, ran against Herbert Hoover not only in 1932 but also in 1936 and 1940 presidential campaigns but in the mid-term elections as well.

FDR's record was anything but stellar, but this campaign strategy was effective despite the double-dip economy. President Obama is in a similar position, they cannot run effectively on their record; therefore they will run against Bush. This is their best hope at this time. This strategy has been used in virtually every election since voting came about.

To quote an old axiom, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Pragmatism is very much a part of our political process.

This is an example of their tactics. Remember the Shirley Sherood USDA video? At first there was outrage from the White House over racism. Then they tried to pin the whole thing on Fox News for race baiting when the network didn't even show the video or mention it until after Obama's team fired Sherrod. Did you see Howard Dean with Chris Wallace on the issue?

What amazed me about the video, when you watched the entire footage, was the way Sherrod justified her disdain and distrust of a white farmer. She said she had a right to make the white man suspect. But she brags about her epiphany in realizing it is the "poor" against the "rich."

Nobody bats an eye about the wrong in that. That is the Democratic strategy. Divide and conquer. If one trick doesn't work, use another either by race baiting or class baiting or moral baiting or age baiting or labor union baiting. Big against the small. Weak against the powerful.

You've seen it right here on this forum. Anything that doesn't go their way, they scream how the conservatives are just looking out for the rich and hate the poor or the conservatives are looking out for the whites and hate the dark skinned people or Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Transgendered or the whatever.

The Democrat Progressive website says to make it an offensive campaign.

Yea, they play nasty but jobs and money always trump. Carter got defeated because of the economy. Nobody listens to lies when they are broke and hungry.
