Democrat Party in Trouble

I honestly don't think so. After both conventions the polls have the DNC in front. The republicans looked like a bunch of rich people not knowing what they were doing or saying with one lie afte another. Where as the speakers for the DNC spoke truths and common sense. America did not get it wrong four years ago. They got it wrong the eight years before that. That is why we are in the mess we are in and President Obama or anyone else could never clean that mess up in four years. I hope and pray that he is re-elected for another four years, if not, God help us all!

I'm not so sure. It seems the parties are solidifying their bases on the right and left, particularly in the South which has trended Republican since Lyndon B. Johnson. The post-convention polls, however, seem to favor Obama in the swing states. It also looks like the rapidly-changing demographics do not bode well for the GOP in the future.

I think it is normal party cycling. And a lot of wishful thinking on our parts. This happens all of the time and I understand your point. Most voter fraud seems to fall on the liberal side. But when speaking of the democrat party, keep in kind, they still elect Reid's, Pelosi's, Kennedy's, Frank's etc. So to think that the party is crumbling away? no. Look at the occupy movement, they are protesting things that fall into the democrat party but the dems still keep trying to side with them. When candidates switch their accents to match the people they are talking to. Or how about Chicago teachers striking. Rahm Emmanuel is telling the teacher unions that they need to go back to work. But these are the very people that support his campaign. No I think the democrat party as a majority, needs better meds.

I've been listening to Caddell since the prez was elected and he has certainly changed his tune from his hopeful optimism in 2009. I remember hearing him argue with talk show hosts that this was going to be a wonderful administration that would be different--and transparent--and really improve things. I think a lot of people felt that way and I was willing to give the prez a chance, too. The worst thing you can do to people is to present yourself as a hero with all the answers then not live up to that image. That's what the president has done. Those that still refuse to see that his plan is not working will vote for him but those who have been disillusioned might not. Frankly, I think both parties are in trouble because these last 6 years have shown people that the government can, indeed, affect their everyday lives and the gov't is not a benign, helpful entity. It has become destructive and dangerous even to the point of affecting our health and our ability to support ourselves. In short, it's destroying us. And we're all, Dems and Repubs, fed up with our parties who are only interested in holding power and not working for the people.

My personal opinion is that the GOP is about to implode. No worries, the democratic party will shed their skin and out will emerge a less extreme version of the republican party.

I think a lot of people that wanted Obama in are now sorry he is in. Whether they thought that a black President would be good or they just wanted change.Now they are seeing, that the change isn't what they expected and that it doesn't matter what color or religion the person who is that runs for President, it matters that the person stands up/believes what the American people want. People are also waking up to the fact that Obama is taking away all our freedoms. So, it really doesn't matter if they're democrats ,republicans, independents, Americans are tired of being controlled and taxed.

I so hope so!
