I suppose that terrible shellacking Obama took in the polls last time due to the NRA influence really taught him a lesson.“He’s been dead silent on guns because he’s scared to death of us,” said William Shelley, 58, an electrical lineman from Liberty, Mo., attending his 12th NRA meeting. “He’s learned not to talk about guns.”
What do you think? Please leave a comment.
So..........they taught the black guy to shut up and be afraid of them?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like lynching talk.
Are the rest of us supposed to be afraid of him too? Because someone should warn Mr. Shelley that when people try to make me afraid of them, I pretty much get noisier, in very organized but unarmed ways.

Keep living 2008 election cycle Mikey, the 2010 elections saw the flipping of 19 state legislatures to republican in a redistricting cycle, and a 63 seat majority in the house.....
Not bad...... If Obambi is not paying attention then he is a bigger idiot than we think he is.....
Yes, Democrats were terribly penalized for not adequately undoing the damage done by the preceding Republican governing disaster.
ReplyDeleteWas this a referendum on Obama? Maybe, maybe not. If you look at it as a referendum on Palin or some other high profile conservatives, it could be viewed as a defeat for them by that criteria.

That's what you got, worst shellacking in about 40 years and it is the fault of the Dems not undoing the policies of the Repubs, why oh why would 19 legislatures flip back to "R" if they had such bad policies?
And if so, they could not have picked a worse cycle to drop the ball...... redistricting and all...
They elected a group of new Republicans who promised not to do what the previous bunch had done Anonumbass. The Tea Party is ripping apart the right.
ReplyDeleteAnd after promising to do something different,they've done pretty much the exact same thing they've always done.
Which is why except for a few fringie wingnutters intent on waging culture war on the rest of us, the majority seems to be ready to dump that lot right out.
If your premise is correct, the right wouldn't have lost so many traditionally right wing seats, like the one in NY, or the Nevada senate race with Reid.
But it is the mistaken notion that they have a mandate that leads the right to overreach so badly. Every time.
If I were a racist Obama-hater, I'd just shut the hell up. Yeah, I'm "living in the 2008 election" because that's the one the NRA invested so heavily in. Maybe they need to double up this time.
ReplyDeletethey did double up...... in 2010 and handed the donks' their asses.....
ReplyDeleteBut hey you keep living in the past... stupid and liberal is no way to live your life MikeyB but it will hand us elections....
