David Axelrod: Dems Will Have a Good Result in 2010
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, December 20, 2009, 10:28 PM
Obama’s Senior White House Advisor told David Gregory today that Democrats will have a good result in 2010.
ACORN better get busy.
The Politico reported:
Senior White House adviser David Axelrod on Sunday brushed aside expert predictions that Democrats will suffer steep losses in next year’s midterm congressional elections.
“I think we’re gonna have a good result next – next November,” Axelrod told David Gregory, host of NBC’s “Meet the Press.”Though Axelrod quickly added “I’m not gonna predict where we are,” he roundly dismissed suggestions that Democrats will pay the price at the ballot box for their efforts to push through health care reform legislation, and suggested that President Obama’s sub-50-percent approval rating in most polls is unrelated to his heavy investment in the health care fight.
“I don’t ascribe poll numbers to this particular – to this particular issue. I think that we’re governing, remember, in an economically difficult time. We came to office in the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression. And so, of course, I could have told you a year ago that our numbers were not gonna be – were not gonna be – as strong a year later.”
Axelrod better hope the state-run media doesn’t start reporting the extent of the damage they caused this past year.
Obama and Democrats tripled the national deficit in less than one year.
They’ve increased the national debt to $12 Trillion.
Obama promised his stimulus plan would create 3.7 million new jobs.
Instead America has lost 3.6 million jobs.
And they’re about to pass a massive new rationed health care plan that will cost billions.

He’s full of sh**
And the dems will be toast.
Voila! Sh** on a shingle. Axelrod insists it is comfort food.
Mike W commented:
Declare martial law under the emergency act which will prevent elections due to the intentional collapse of our economy.
NeoKong commented:
No need to worry about that.
“Axelrod better hope the state-run media doesn’t start reporting the extent of the damage they caused this past year.”

Well, they are leftists and hope springs eternal…
“It is important to realize that there was, and is, a great affinity between Communists and Fascists. The Nazis were no more a phenomenon of the right, then Communism is. Fascism has always been aligned with the Left. It is only because of the Left’s inimitable ability to turn the truth on its head, that anyone suffers from the delusion that the Nazis were a right-wing ideology.”
…
“So the swastika belongs to the Left, and always has. After the war, the newly camouflaged Fascists, mingled with subversive Communists, and did indeed “make common cause” in the years following the war. They slowly took over the press, the media, academia, and the governments of Europe—until the only conservative power left, was in the people themselves. Sound familiar?
…
These Far Left Communists and Fascists (neither calling themselves that, of course) pushed Europe inexorably to the left, and welcomed Islam as a “comrade in arms.”

Given the total lack of intestinal fortitude and the lack of leadership of the RNC, I wouldn’t doubt his words.
It really will be up to the people to stop this.

O/T
John McCain on CNN talking about the deals made, after Obama’s campaign promises of NO DEALS. Apparently there were deals up front as soon as negotiating started with pharma cos, AMA, & AARP (and I have been asking for mos why AARP is on board when there is talk of cutting Medicare). Then there are deals with some states, Florida, Nevada, Nebraska and the senators. Even CNN says it is business as usual in Washington.

Yes, I am. His sad stories are bogus. Those kids are covered under SCHIP.

Nathan R. Jessup commented:
Agreed. And further, the tactic of diversion is becoming standard practice. Ignore the question.
Did you notice McConnell asked 2 very direct questions:
1)The American people DO NOT want this bill; how in good conscience can we pass it?
2)Why is this being done at 1 am with not even 24 hours to read the final bill?
Neither of which Reid even hinted at answering. Then, the ridiculous stories ensued…
God Bless us….
Here we go with the vote.

Medicaid is for children on welfare. SCHIP is for children whose parents are working, my sister is a bartender and her son has been on SCHIP since he was approx 10 and he is in college now. Medicare is for disabled children. There are no children in this country that are not covered by a medical program unless the parents make too much money. Reid’s stories about kids are bogus.

spayandneuter commented:
Re: Harry Reids BOGUS claims about children not having health care.
Children on welfare have Medicaid.
Children of working parents have SCHIP.
http://healthinsurance.about.com/od/medicaid/a/SCHIP.htm
“Most states will cover children whose family income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Five states (Idaho, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Wisconsin) cover children whose family income is at or below 175% of the FPL, while four other states have lower thresholds. On the other hand, some states are more generous – for example, New Jersey covers children whose families have incomes at or below 350% of the FPL.
Although SCHIP is intended to primarily benefit children, fourteen states extend coverage to adults. Most of these adults are either parents of SCHIP-eligible children or pregnant women, but some states have used SCHIP as a vehicle to expand coverage to uninsured childless adults who meet the income requirements.”

What does the A stand for in David A. Axelrod? I will leave that to your imagination! But seriously, I will remind people that a less educated public back in 1938 finally realized that the Democrats, led by the Socialist Roosevelt, were a fraud. The Republicans gained 68 House seats and five senate seats. However, that did not amount to much. The GOP had only 17 senate seats and 88 House seats. But the point is that it took a longer time for the public to be sold a bill of goods. The Dear Leader thinks that the public is that dumb. Fat chance. My prediction. The GOP takes back the House AND senate. 60 seat gain in the House, 10 in the senate. I can’t wait for some GOPer to tell “Sen.” Al Franken that HE can not have any extra time!

Towering Barbarian commented:
In fairness to Axelrod 2 things deserve to be observed:
1. What’s he or any other party official supposed to say when making a statement about how their party will do in an election when speaking for public consumption, “My party sucks and we’re all going to lose!”? Whether or not that’s true saying as much to the press is hardly going to make things any better. Far better to try to keep morale up and hope for the best. Baseball managers and sports coaches work on the same principle when you think of it so this is really hardly anything new.
2. The poor fool might genuinely believe it because he doesn’t know any better. The penalty for turning the press into your party house organ is that you no longer really have any feedback circuits to deliver the bad news you need to hear and sooner or later the Democrats having done that with Old Media is going to do precisely that to them on a larger scale than has ever happened in the past. Think Pauline Kael Syndrome and multiply by a thousand. ^_~
John Steele commented:
One thing to consider: Axelrod may just be right. After all, 52% of the electorate voted for this monstrosity — they may be stupid enough to do it again.
Ginger commented:
People had better demand the electronic voting machines be removed before the next election. The machines are rigged. Remember they come from Chevez the sulfer smelling moron.

i keep feeling that they voted for him for some reason that overrides commonsense/defies reality. ignoring peril at their own risk.

It’s called voter fraud (via Acorn) and voter intimidation (via the Black Panthers). Plans are already in place. We are no longer a real democracy, and instead are turning into a third world tin pot dictatorship.

Take a good, long look at Axelrod. By comparison, he is the first-born spawn of Satan.

He reminds me of someone else who had the same German mustache.
Wildman commented:
Well, this is the same Chicago thug that was saying the Democrats were going to retain the governor seats in New Jersey and Virginia and we all saw what happened there. And don’t let this pile of manure fool you, he watches the polls each and every day. We the American people are happily going to prove him wrong come November 2010. I can’t wait to see how this thug spins that one when his party goes down in defeat. So keep drinking your koolaid Axelrod.

Bingo! This is exactly why none of them are worried, not Axelrod nor any of the Dems on the hill. Their reelection is already a done deal.
