Mr. Ed Garvey of the Cap Times shares his deep frustration
with President Obama and the Democratic Party.
with President Obama and the Democratic Party.
No one can begrudge his disappointment. Obama has damaged
his party’s brand because of his failed domestic
programs (Stimulus, Obamacare) and interventionist foreign policy, (Libya,
Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria). Obama has also alienated key supporters, including
African-Americans through his support for gay marriage and opposition to school
choice, but to liberal Hispanic interests, with his repeated promises to enact
sweeping amnesty, yet refusing to follow through.

Today, President Obama’s administration mirrors the myriad
domestic failures of another Big Government progressive: Lyndon Baines Johnson,
complete with repeated funding for interminable, now unwinnable wars,
nation-wide race riots, overburdened entitlement programs, and a distressing
veneer of dishonor, even hatred for authority, including random attacks on
police and disregard for our nation’s borders from rising waves of illegal
immigrants.

| US Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) |
I predict that Mr. Garvey’s wish will be granted:
ultra-liberal progressive Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts will be the
Democratic Party’s nominee for President in 2016. One of few Washington Democrats
with a recent electoral victory, plus a growing fan base, she has attracted
more attention following the 2014 shellacking which surpassed the Democratic
Party’s losses in 2010.

While Garvey expects her to fulfill the hopes and keep the
promises of her progressive predecessor, I anticipate that her controversial,
yet spirited campaign will resemble another Democratic candidate, George
McGovern, and she will alienate independents, galvanize conservatives, and persuade
centrists to elect a Republican for President: Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
