overheard at everyone's favorite wingnut watering hole:
it started out innocently in a conversation with a well-connected democrat friend who is now-disillusioned obama voter.
we were discussing the massachusetts election, and i joked that i didn’t know if the democrats could stand another three years under obama. he fired back that he and several of his friends didn’t know if they could stand one more year under obama.
i posited that the only way it could happen that fast is if you could get him out of office on something like an eligibility issue, and that i couldn’t imagine any democrat would ever become a “birther”!
there was a silence for a few moments and then he confided that “one might surprised at what is being whispered about by disillusioned members at high levels in the party”. he cut the conversation off at that point and we reverted back to small talk.
this all sounded so not credible to me, but you can never underestimate the democrats’ desire to stay in power. the more i pondered his words, the more intriguing and perhaps terrifying the outcomes became.
consider this scenario, the democrats actually let “birther” investigations to go forward, publicly condemning the republicans for pushing the issues, while quietly not impeding or even facilitating them . two outcomes can happen. obama is proven eligible and the republicans are embarrassed and fall from public grace. obama retains power and democrats regain some public confidence.
should obama be removed from office, it becomes the ultimate opportunity to play the race card, because the still-“conservative” supreme court would have to “conspire” with the "racist" republicans to force obama’s departure from office. democrats could swear obama’s innocence, a repeat of the lewinsky defense, in which bill clinton came out more powerful politically. the democrats could raise the race issue with the republicans until the end of recorded time for removing the first black president from office.
at the precipice of their political comeback, the republicans could fall hard! a democrat "rope a dope"?
admittedly this is a shameless self post, maybe i’m reading more into this than was really there. if you disagree, flame away, pull the post, and tell me to take my meds and go to my room.
and before a birther can say: i told you so ...:
of course they would. i am willing to take a chance. the dems and lib media would beat us up and the GOP. go for it.
i really never understood why the dem party especially moderates let this get this far. i was sure they would bite their tounge and vote for mccain.
i knew he would possibly destroy the USA and also the dem party before the election. i saw this coming.
i told you so!
actually, now that you mention it, there is an e-mail that my wife got last friday (she said she was going to forward it to me) talking about a judge somewhere that was going to view the birth certificate issue. i don’t know if it is an old one or currant.
of course it is just not the birth certificate. it is his admissions form to occidental college, admission to harvard, how he paid for occidental, columbia, and harvard. i personally believe that someone is going to come up with something within this year.
i have already predicted on FR that now baracko’s paper trail is going to be leaked. folks are no longer afraid of him.
“his removal will be bloody as in a race war that only charlie manson would love.”
i wouldn’t bank on that. the bruthas are already massively disappointed in The One. as i anticipated, they did not turn out for him in MA.
ask yourself, who’s suffering the most in this economy?
there is another option that you have not discussed and remember not even rush, beck or anyone else will bring up his elegibility so it would have to be brought up by democrats. the republicans will not take the hit on this.
what would probably happen is that the democrats would use the CIA and the FBI and the state depart. to get the proof that he is not eligible or find out what he is hiding. or allow his school records to be leaked to the media.
a group of them would take this info to him and use it to convince him to resign. he would suddenly get some type of illness that would not allow him to be around stress and he would bow out for the rest of his term.
the democrats know that there is something in his background that at the least would highly embarrass the democrats or at the most prove he was not eligible and they were responsible for allowing him to run anyway.
... the democrats have much more to lose if the truth comes out. the republicans could hold them all responsible for putting our liberty and freedom in jeapordy by covering up fraud and illegalities. the republicans and the tea party could bring a law suit against the dem party and probably win.
here’s hoping the SOTU speech turns into a ceausescu moment.
psst! i knew this was grate newz fer john mccain!!
