Comments on: FULHAM: The Democrats Self-Destruct, Again http://thepoliticizer.com/blog/2010/01/25/fulham-the-democrats-self-destruct-again/ A fresh perspective on politics and society from the internet generation. Mon, 06 Sep 2010 19:15:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Tim http://thepoliticizer.com/blog/2010/01/25/fulham-the-democrats-self-destruct-again/comment-page-1/#comment-7422 Tim Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:43:18 +0000 http://thepoliticizer.com/?p=3507#comment-7422 I agree with everything in your post, except that I do not agree that it is not too late for the Democrats to overcome their arrogance, work with the Republicans (all of them, not just the conservative ones) and retain their seats in November. The Democrats in Congress are doomed, plagued with poll numbers that make George Bush look like a saint. America is afraid of terrorism, uncertain about the economy, and concerned about the burden of debt that will fall on future generations as a result of a slowing population growth rate and well-intentioned entitlement programs that will unquestionably balloon out of control in our lifetime. I also do not think that going near Wall Street is anything Obama wants to do right now. Americans need certainty into the future, and additional government meddling is unlikely to cause it. The monetary stimulus is already completely out of control, and the fiscal situation has been horrendous since even before this crash. Obama is surrounded by academics and ideologues, rather than responsible people who know how to govern. His naivety is showing on a daily basis. Only if he abandons his extreme views and takes some advice from people outside his political circle can he recover any of what he has lost.

If we cannot find a way to channel the type of middle-class anger that characterizes our opposition, 2010 will be a bloodbath. Dumping Geithner, Summers and the rest of those economic terrorists would be a good place to start. Amen.
