But whatever, he's ignorant and overconfident, and the eight years under Bush was like prancing around in Xanadu.
The cycle of the Presidency has been pretty much the same.
1. Republicans get into office after public gets angry about Democrat inaction (perceived or real)
2. Republicans deregulate sectors of the market, implement pro-business legislation, win moderate public hearts and minds by accusing Democrats of being anti-economy, start wars, fuck things up towards end of term (most recent example: housing bubble, credit default swaps, etc)
3. Republicans get booted from office
4. Democrat gets elected on promises to fix things, promote liberal agenda which resonates with younger voters
5. Democrat gets blamed for economic ripple effect caused by rampant deregulation, attempts to fix it, passes a half-measure that creates as many loopholes as it closes
6. Tide of anti-liberalism and anti-intellectualism grips country because Dem President isn't a derpy good 'ol boy (read: is educated) and thus does not resonate with the broad swath of left-bellcurve Fox News viewers, Republicans win more seats in Senate and Congress, making Dem President a lame duck, which fuels the inaction criticism that leads to step one.
7. Democrat gets booted from office.
We're at step six right now.
The reason I vote Democrat year after year is because at heart, I'm a social liberal (read: I believe in a woman's right to choose, I don't care who marries who, and I don't care what you do in the privacy of your own home). On top of that, the Republican candidates are, for the most part, completely fucking crazy (see: creationism/denying climate change). The only candidate this go-round who's been pro-science (pro-truth) is Huntsman. Give me a pro-science, pro-choice Republican candidate, and I'd be happy to give them a serious look. Problem is, if you want to sway the Republican base (white, middle-class, hates gays, loves Jesus, watches NASCAR), you've gotta walk a pretty narrow path.
Also Mitt Romney is a Mormon. That's just about as bad as Scientology.
My version which is a bit more of a time line.
1. Carter brought down revenue over time by raising taxes and regulating.
2. Regen brought up revenue by cutting taxes and deregulating, but he didn't follow through with cutting spending.
3. Bush 1 was pretty much a democrat and spent heavily.
4. Clinton cut spending as a way to out conserve the repulicans as said by his right hand advisor. He however did not have a surplus. He did however, do well compared to the spending that came next. He also started the Housing bubble that we saw much later.(I will explain that in detail if anyone is interested.)
5. Bush cut taxes which brought revenue up greatly. Then....spent and spent and spent....and then he spent. Not a conservative.
6. Obama made Bush look like a penny pinching cheap ass. At current his new "stimulus" at about 500B, would be used to buck up unions to replace non union jobs who then give the Dem ticket a kick back off our tax money. Anti- Israel, Anti-rich, Anti small business, More vacation and spending on his staff and self than ever before. tzars with communistic ties, illegal alien relatives, backdoor illegal alien amnesty, fast and furious, loans for kickbacks, bowing to other leaders...ect.
7. The indipendents have been polled to have left the POTUS in droves. I think he will step down to run at another date. The next president will probably be Christy?
Also typical holywood liberal
