Predicted Next GOP Presidential Candidate

[DeistPaladin]

The whole election is a rigged dog and pony show. You always have dumb and sometimes dumber to choose from.
Republicans and Democrats have almost the same agenda. They just throw different flavored bones to different people.

I sympathize with this thinking but it could make light of the fact that the GOP has gone completely insane and must be kept out of power, no matter how bad the Dem alternative may be.

And I don't use the word "insane" lightly. Never before has any political party seriously threatened to deliberately default on our nation's debt as a political stunt. We can disagree on political policy but when you talk about destroying the world economy and transforming America from a world economic power to a 3rd world country as a political stunt, you've left the sunny shores of sanity.

Yes, the Democrat Party is a center-right party, and a really wimpy one to boot, but even the worst conserva-dems are better than the best of the GOP. It sucks to be a progressive in America right now but, like or not, we have a two-party system and will need to vote lesser evil until we take a bit more control over the primaries like the Tea Baggers have.

What he failed to understand and it appears to me that he never figured out throughout his first election, that the republican's weren't interested in compromise.

History will have to judge whether Obama was a naive visionary in over his head or an ingenious sellout secretly working for the GOP.

I'm not a conspiracy nut so I believe the former. That said, the latter would explain a lot.
