What is the deal here, are you just using us cause you have something controversial that you want to talk about, then you will desert us for facebook again?

Frank, What you are saying is basically "nominate Hillary Clinton or the country gets destroyed."
This isn't politics, it's extortion.

I believe you misunderstand his intent.

Instead of extortion, think of him as saying something like: "Don't jump off that cliff or you'll be splattered all over the concrete at the bottom!"

If someone jumps off the cliff, he is not the cause of them being splattered all over the concrete at the bottom. He was just warning them of what he believes to be the inevitable result of jumping off the cliff.

That said, I don't think it matters. The Democrats are doomed. The 2013 gun control debacle sealed their fate. The Republicans are going to win in 2016 no matter what.

Anyway, the Supreme Court isn't going anywhere. There will be a Supreme Court in Washington no matter who takes the White House next year. Kennedy and Roberts were nominated by Republicans.

The Supreme Court is going WAY to the right.

Note the ages of the following left-wing justices:
Anthony Kennedy: 79
Ruth Bader Ginsburg: 82
Stephen Breyer: 77

Come 2016 none of them will be any younger. Eight more years of Republican appointees is going to have everyone referring to Antonin Scalia as "one of the old moderates".

Probably the first thing to go will be Roe vs Wade, since the pro-lifers have devoted so much to the Conservative cause. However, it won't be too long after that that we'll see the courts striking down all those outrageous gun laws.

Our freedom is just over the horizon.

Just for the record, Obama was perceived as a socialist (and a Muslim and a Kenyan).

And he had a plausible case to make that the accusations were untrue.

Sanders is provably a Socialist. He openly supports policies that would allow our foreign enemies to destroy us.

Note: I'm not saying that he wants our destruction to occur -- just that the policies that he advocates would cause it.

I hate to break it too you... most Americans don't give a crap about the 2013 gun control debacle (and all of the people who do give a crap were Romney voters anyway). This will have zero impact on the 2013 election.

I also hate to break it too you, but unless Sanders wins the primary, Hillary Clinton will be our next president.

Believe me, I am not much happier about this than you are.

Doesn't matter. It's still going to sink the Democrats in 2016.

The 2013 gun control debacle resulted in Mr. Obama not achieving any legislative victories in his second term (unless we count things that the Republicans wanted even more than he did).

Come election day 2016, it will have been a long six years since he's had a legislative victory. That's going to lead to the voters swapping which party controls the White House.

Not possible. There is no way that any Democratic candidate can win the White House in 2016. No matter who they are or what they do or say, they will just fail to get traction.

It won't be their fault. It will be the result of Mr. Obama not having achieved anything in six years.

I have mixed feelings about Hillary.

I can't abide Clinton corruption. But aside from gun control issues (which admittedly are pretty important to me), Clinton/Obama policy closely mirrors my own viewpoint.

Well, I am impressed with your willingness to buck A2K groupthink. I dont think I have seen this from you before though it might have happened.

@hawkeye10,

I'm actually not avoiding A2K.

My friends and I can still talk here, but there will relieve us from a few persistent trolls.

If Frank is right then Lash has adopted the standard A2K definition. I dont know that he is right, before now she has not tended to run in the same threads as me usually, and she has been gone a lot. I do like here threads on teaching and education, and I was impressed that she was willing to cash in her life for a man apparently. She certainly has some gumption.

It's nice seeing people make new friends.

Hawk,

I have to ask: when you're in a relationship, do you refer to that as cashing in your life for a chick? I can't imagine how you make that jump.

Here is why people prefer not to see Frank on most of the progressive threads:

concern troll
A person who posts on a blog thread, in the guise of "concern," to disrupt dialogue or undermine morale by pointing out that posters and/or the site may be getting themselves in trouble, usually with an authority or power. They point out problems that don't really exist. The intent is to derail, stifle, control, the dialogue. It is viewed as insincere and condescending.
A concern troll on a progressive blog might write, "I don't think it's wise to say things like that because you might get in trouble with the government." Or, "This controversy is making your side look disorganized."

It looks like he "shares his concern" after each and every post that calls his preferred candidate out for her corruption. A paid shill wouldn't post as much and say the same thing ad nauseum. He is a troll.

And I do much prefer your ideas to his. Smile

At least they vary occasionally.
