The great thing about this is that the Left has lowered the bar to such a point now to defend a Marxist that there is no way they will be able to effectively attack a GOP'er. Hell. It is so bad now thet even dyed in the wool Commies like Lannie Davis and the like can't defend it. These clowns have been exposed and the system can take only so much abuse before it corrects itself.

Frank, the Left operate on rules that do not require consistency. We're careful to distinguish how we don't hate the person but hate his policies. Not the Left. They hate the person! They hate Bush They hate Cheney, Gingrich, Palin. They aren't worried about appearances. They want to destroy the person and their policies. We play the game by archaic rules of engagement. [well not you Frank but many of us on the Right] It makes us appear as half-hearted.

I am looking at this from their perspective though. They always play a game to sound impressive to the idiots, i.e.; the "moderates". Selling them sunshine and unicorns. Well after the total let down of Zerocare and the NSA snooping, the "moderates" are now very leary of all the pie in the sky talk. I think that enough of them are cluing in that the whole thing they have been sold is a scam.
This is just a guestimate on my part. Your mileage may vary due to driving habits and vehicle condition.

I'm shy about making predictions as we don't seem to be the America that I was raised in anymore.
I became worried when Bush won by such slim margins twice but really disillusioned when Romney was defeated by Zero. My guess is the black man was irresistible with his slick speak and his overly generous promises. When the non-working classes become such a large voting segment as they were last election, the conservatives lose.
Maybe the un and under employed will have a change of heart? Living off gov't freebies has never been the mainstream's style. One never follows a dream on welfare. The future could be precarious if the percent living off the gov't keeps getting larger, larger than the private sector and then votes accordingly. It's already a big problem with overly generous pensions and benefits for municipality workers. This can't go on.
