Liberals have a serious problem with regard to the 2014 election.  It is the same problem that always affects liberals at some point.  Nothing liberals believe is true.  None of the liberal strategies have worked in the past, they are not working now and they will not work in the future.  As a result, liberal governments are always thrown out of office when the stench overcomes the rhetoric.  Liberals are very good at stirring up emotions and winning elections.  They just suck at governing.

In addition the only thing certain in politics is change.  After seven years or so voters get the seven year itch and they vote for change.  In 2007 they got change.  Now seven years later, they are probably going to vote for change again.  Even if things were going great, voters would probably vote for change.  When things really suck, as they do now, they will definitely vote for change.  Every political poll shows identical results.  Voters are pissed.  They are pissed at the President.  They are pissed at Congress.  They are pissed with Republicans.  They are pissed with Democrats.  The only question is who voters will hate the most in November.

My hunch is that they will turn on Democrats because of ObamaCare.  Voters are often stupid and naïve, but they will understand two things this election.  They will understand that ObamaCare sucks.  They will also understand that Democrats own ObamaCare lock, stock and barrel.

I know all the theories about how demographics have changed and Republicans will never win another election.  Just keep in mind that most people promoting this theory are the same liberals who are wrong about everything else.  Why would you believe them on this?

Here’s the deal.  Liberals get elected when things are going well because voters forget how bad things get when liberals are in charge.  Conservatives get elected when things are really bad because liberals have been in charge and that always ends up bad.  Things are bad.  Bye by liberals.  The only way to break the cycle would be for liberals to adopt policies that work.  So far, that has never happened.

That is the good news.  The bad news is that while liberals will probably be booted out of office this fall, at some point about seven years down the road, when things are going well again, we will repeat the cycle.
