Game Plan

Not that everyone else hasn’t said, I just have a need to say it too. The game plan for Republicans is to win back power. How that is done, who or what gets sacrificed is besides the point. And while the party in power has been trying to do politics in a new way, the party out of power has been playing rope a dope. Successfully.

What will happen next is this; the administration will be slow walked to the brink of the next election. Soon Republicans will begin a new line of attack-’to let the people vote’. The argument will proceed along these lines…’we are so close to the election, why not let the people be heard?’. Any votes during that period will be labeled as ‘rushing to deny Americans a vote’.

So, let me be the first to declare Obama’s presidency a failure and predict his a one term presidency. It gives me no comfort to say that. But unless the president and his party get serious about what they are doing, they will loose about 8 seats in the Senate and about 36 in Congress come November.  At that point, Republicans will no longer need the stupidity and timidity of the democrats to assure  failure.

Democrats will cry foul over the dishonesty and ‘dirty tricks’  of their opponents, and rightly so, but in the end,  Obama will be labeled a “Jimmy Carter”.  As someone once said, ‘you can’t score points if you don’t know the game’.
