Yes that’s right, the Democrats won the election. You might be questioning my sanity for making such a statement after the Democrats took a “shellacking” because they did not get out the “message” or something.
Well then, let me rephrase that statement. The far-left “progressive” DINOs (Democrats in Name Only) that run the party came out stronger than ever. The electoral “shellacking” Obama talks about came at mostly the expense of the moderate and conservative elements of the party. Of course, he never cared about them anyway.
The election essentially purified the party of the few moderates who acted as roadblocks against bills that they saw as veering too far left. Next year, only half of the Democrats that labeled themselves as “moderates” will exist in Congress. In fact, Karen Dolan of the far-left Institute for Policy Studies proudly notes that “the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the largest caucus in the House Democratic Caucus at over 80 members, emerged virtually unscathed, losing only three members”. And more Democrats are likely to join the caucus next year, giving them an even more robust voice within the party.
No doubt, this was a planned political purge, executed Chicago Mafia-style in a way that would make Stalin proud. You’ll see little or no remorse about the outcome of the election from Obama, Reid and Pelosi. For them this was a victory to further consolidate their total control and to “rebuild” the Democrat Party on a firm foundation of Marxism.
Despite the loss of the House, Democrats still control two-thirds of the Government (Senate and Presidency with veto power). And that is exactly where they want to be right now.
The idea here is to; create the impression that the Republicans are really in charge and hold them responsible for whatever comes out of Washington policy-wise. They seem to be assuming that budget cuts of some kind will be enacted, leading to the spectacle of the GOP being accused of putting “profits over people”, as the union organizers and left-wing activists take to the streets in protest.
Now they can do what they do best (hint, it has nothing to do with creating jobs or leading the country to prosperity).
