    Let me clarify by saying I am not actually an Obama supporter, I just view him as the lesser of two evils.

    Totally agreed about Cheney.

    LOL... do you see how stupid the crap your posting is? Obama picked up right where Bushy boy left off. From the Corporate welfare to the oil wars and deficit funded tax cuts... When will idiots get pat the fact that Obama calls himself a democrat and see that he is cut from the same cloth as Bush.

    Its really sad that your partisan hacked perception cant see that your getting screwed the same way by role players who act like they are different but do the exact same things.

    Hmmm..... I don't recall those qualities being attributed to the Obama.

    No, if I recall, it was his poor judgement, controversial associations, and lack of real world experience outside of academia...............

    Ouch is right.

    I wouldn't be surprised if next summer Obama announces that Huntsman is going to replace Clinton as the next SoS. I have felt like that was the plan since the moment Huntsman announced he was running for the Republican nomination.

    If that's not the plan, then expect Huntsman to be main contended for SoS should a Republican win.

    Either way, I think his next job will be Secretary of State.

    Romney is probbaly going to be the candidate, but I am not convinced that he or any of the options can beat Obama. That is why Christie is waiting, he knows none of these choices will beat Obama (most likely). He is planning on Obama winning and running agianst the next Dem that wants to be Pres. If I could pick anyone with a chance it would probbaly be Cain becuase he would split the African American Vote and maybe pull off an upset.

    Christie wouldn't have endorsed Romney if he just wanted to wait it out until 2016.

    I've been saying for years that the Republican party is going to nominate Romney. I don't think Romney has a snowball's chance in hell of being elected the President. I think the two party corporate oligarchy knows that and is intent on 4 more years of Obama to continue the run of government spending that feeds it.

    Remember the junior high school dance ? ( gals will love this )
    Most of the guys were scared poopless to ask the girls to dance.

    1. There was the hottest one..Everyone thought she was the BEST.
    2. There was the next to hottest one...maybe not as tall..but definitely hot.
    3. There was the pretty one..not as many friends ..and maybe shunned by the hot crowd..but she definitely stood out.
    4. The normal girls..hung out by them selves..lacking experience..some were quite pretty..but they were shy..and not as out going.
    5. The other girls..most never showed..they didn't have the self awareness that would come later with experience.

    Guys had the same order in JOCKISM.

    Now take this political season.
    We all want the hottest ..best person.
    Each of us has their own reason as to why.
    One might be better at debates..others at raising money..still others represent some mythical perfection..hope and change.( the perfect dream gal..)

    Romney is # 2 or 3.
    At the dance he wouldn't be the first choice..but for the long haul he would be the BEST CHOICE.

    That's why others surge up and past him..WE KNOW what ROMNEY is..and want to see if anything is BETTER...or prettier..hotter.

    Do you ever wonder what that Hottest gal in Junior or Senior high turned out like ?
    Being the best THEN might not had as much meaning as being BETTER for someones entire life.
    For the record I was a #4 and married another # 4..:)

    Romney/Cain....................Cant miss....Romney will win easily, Obama can not debate, he has no record to stand on...What's he going to do? Scold Romney for Romney Care??? LOL
    Besides, Romney already has the independents handily and every single conservative will come out to vote. This will be the largest conservative turnout ever,,,THEY WANT OBAMA OUT!!
    With the conservatives and the independents Obama will just not have the numbers, never happen,,,

    Poll: Romney holds advantage over Obama among independents
    Posted by
    CNN's Ashley Killough

    Washington (CNN) - A majority of independent voters said they would vote for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney or lean toward Romney in a hypothetical 2012 matchup against President Barack Obama, a new poll says.

    Fully 54% of independent voters surveyed by the Pew Research Center said they would support Romney, while fewer, 41%, said they would choose the president.


    SEE THAT???,,,Fewer than 41% for Obama, Romney 54%. That's not even counting undecideds, they usually go for the challenger....


    The Presidency goes as the independents go........:)

    My friends and I usually picked the girl that put out.......but that's another story...:confuse:

    I agree with your Logic,,it's true. Look, Obama was the rock Star right? and that's exactly what we got...rocks!

    I truly think Romney will be a Great President, he's all business and not one to given to Quick easy fix's, nor a man given in to pressure, he has been there and on both sides..He wants this Presidency and for all the right reasons, I just cant see us going wrong, Romney is an idea man it's what he has done all his life, and successfully....
    Who did we put in??? He showed us nothing but the country was angry. He filled everybody with flowery speech's, meanwhile he was an empty suit. We actually cant blame him, he did not hide, he was what he was.

    Sometimes peoples expectations let them see something that is really not there. This is what happened with Obama, a young inexperienced Senator that [unlike Christie] was not aware he was not ready, nor might ever be.
    WE THE PEOPLE.....SAID YOUR GREAT!!!!!,,,,,,,,HE SAID.....................ok!

    If he avoids any more pitfalls, Perry will be the nominee. Just hide and watch; then when my prediction comes through, I will expect more respect. :-D

    You don't really say anything in your posts, Its hard to figure what your point is. The point is , Perry took in more money in the last quater than Romney and i don't believe he was even running for the full quater. He has the support of the Southern Christians, The Tea Party, And Rush,by default. What has Romney got. C'mon, give us some beef here, not just snide remarks.

    Romney has the support of the establishment and moderates and independents. He's got the Northeast all wrapped up already and parts of the Midwest like Michigan.

    Perry on the other hand is losing Tea Party support because Cain is picking it up. Cain's not going anywhere until at least three states are decided. He's going to split the vote with Bachmann and Perry. Romney's going to pick up the other votes as I mentioned.

    Someone must be supporting Perry because the only one to raise more cash was Obama. Perry will still be in the race after Cain has dropped out. he's got the money to hang around. Romney will never get above 25% because he is a Morman. Thats unfortunate but a fact just like some will not vote for Obama because he is black. When the conservatives chose John McCain the last time even though they despised him should tell you something. They will accept Perry's faults just as they accepted McCAIN BREAKING THEIR Cardinal sin of voting against the Bush tax cuts for the rich the first time. The christians will not accept a Morman as their candidate. You can call me what you want but I am not religious and could care less what religion a person is. OR race as far as that goes. Romney will probably win Iowa and New Hampshire, His bus will hit the ditch in South Carolina. From there it will be all downhill for Mitt. Personally I would prefer Romney to Perry. I think the WH would rather run against Romney also. The republicans can rally behind Perry, but many would stay home rather than vote for Romney. Time will tell

    Perry has a mighty big fault though,,,he freezes....Even with Obama on the defense he will rub Perry's nose in it,,soo picking Perry puts the election in jeopardy in my opinion, Romney would kill Obama in a debate, Perry would quiver and break.

    Now that's not easy for me to say but it's the truth, Obama could use Low speed and Perry would stand there gasping for air...truth!! You can not put a man like that up against somebody like Obama and expect to win...
    The man would be embarrassing, just like he has been....He's not going to change into Clarence Darrow over night....Debates win and lose elections...
    I would never take a chance on that man after watching his performances...

    I sometimes let some work to figure out between the lines and little catch phrases the clues of my message.
    Others need more direct wording and that's Ok too..

    So.
    1. What's money got to do with anything ?
    Obama took in more than anybody..he has the support of the Unions..Wall st. protesters..Msnbc and the media out lets.
    He still sucks.
    and will lose.
    Point is money isn't everything..substance and effectiveness is.

    POINT ROMNEY.

    Romney will get the southern folks on board when he destroys Obama in debates and Obama cannot match transparency of open paper filing showing complete educational records and other important stuff Obama hasn't disclosed.
    When Rush realizes that any conservative is better but a Great ( moderate ) conservative is best..he'll be on board.

    The Romney message is so diluted with 8 or 9 guys running around taking valuable message points and time away.
    Romney hasn't whined or complained about anybody..he seeks to unify a divided nation.

    He hasn't attacked any race..religion..or political position based upon personality..
    Ask Cain about Muslims again..ask them how they would feel about Cain being president.
    Ask those southern folks about illegals kids getting cheaper education than their kids receive...add the deal about forced shots for their daughters..
    Ask them if they like Perry for those wonderful ideas.

    I'll take Romney any day and more on Sundays.
    Smart people get it.

    You've made a great post , OtherGuy , and I've been following this thread and find particular interest in the fact that the GOP seem to be eating their own ...heck , even Rush Limbaugh is stuttering through his radio circus of a show these days ... [​IMG]

    as a Blue-Dog Democrat from the South , and pro-Union , to see this brings me joy and jubilation on one hand , and great discomfort on the other hand .

    I think you're mostly right , though .

    Romney just ain't gonna have any luck with Southern voters , but if Cain is his VP , ya never know , might be the best ticket ... but with all the recent news about Mormon child abuse / marrying young brainwashed girls that are 11 years old , shiiiiiottt , people ain't gonna go for that , North , South , East & West , don't matter ... now , I'm not saying that Romney is like that , because I don't think he is , he may be a cut-throat Union busting sorry sob , but I don't think he's a child molester , but , a lot of folks will remember that he's a Mormon , and you can bet in the hard-ball of Presidential politics it'll be brought up in a sly manner right at election time ... just saying , ya know ? may not be fair to the man , but it'll happen ...

    Cain is the one I personally like , but , and I know I'm gonna be taken to task for saying this , probably be called a racist , but , my opinion , people will not vote for another black man for President ..unless they want to give Obama a second term . but , I just don't see it happening . his 999 plan has a lot of merit , but it'll take a decade to implement it , and voters are shocked / dismayed enough right now , and won't go / vote for more radical concepts ... at least for a few years ..

    Perry has the money , and if he'd get a campaign manager that could persuade him to take 'Debate 101 & 102 & 103 classes on how to get him to stop putting his foot in his GOP mouth every time he opens it ,,, he might , he just might have a chance for the GOP nomination as potus , but I don't think that he'd ever be able to hold his own against Obama in a debate if he don't step up and get some real good professional coaching ..

    I think Obama would feed him his lunch , burp him , wipe his arse ( probably / hopefully ... hahahah , :nana: with a turpentined corn cob ) and change his wittle diaper .

    and I'll go one more and say ,,, in my opinion , there is not a viable GOP candidate , at the present time , that will be able to defeat Obama in 2012 .

    The housing market has bottomed out . it's as low as it's gonna get. People have either been able to refinance a mortage or they've already lost their homes and moved in with Mom & Dad ... or , they're living in tents , maybe under a bridge near you , ya know ? I went looking for a refridgerator box last week , for storage purposes in my basement , and you can't find one , homeless people are carrying them off as fast as their put on the loading dock , but don't take my word for it , go try and find one yourself , and get back to me , and I'd appreciate the courtesy of your honest reply , and that goes as well for anyone one that cares enough to look and reply to me.

    Have you ever so much as even looked as U went by ? [​IMG] If you ain't , maybe you ought to , just saying , ya know ? not trying to pick a fight at all , hope ya don't take it that way ..

    KK8 says I'm rather touchy & sore-toothed these days , she's probably right , she generally is , but I'd never tell her that , she's got the big-head already.

    It's gonna be a long , hard , cold Winter , and times is gonna be tough and getting tougher for a whole lot of folks , be they Rep or Dem or TP or Ind or others , and it's gonna be the kids that suffer the most . but , they's Gov't Programs , right ?

    But , ya know , if the GOP wins in 2012 , those programs will be the 1st thing that's cut ,,, and then SS Benefits ,,, and then VA Disability Pensions & then Medi-Care & Medi-Caid , the list of cuts goes on and on ... that's what the GOP platform says they're gonna do ...if I'm wrong , then you prove it .

    I ain't gonna vote for that , No Way ... and they's 50 million AARP voters just like me that won't either ....and many of them will be GOP crossover votes to Obama ,,, Perry set GrandMa's hair on fire with saying SS is a ponzi scheme and ought to be abolished , GrandMa and Gramps worked all their lives for those benefits .. and they / we vote en bloc ...

    Obama screwed up by not fixing the economy first and leaving health care reform for a second term , I know that , you know that , Flounder knows that , Changed knows that , Smarty knows that , KK8 would just love it if she could kick Obama square in his Liberal balls ,,,


    and , if I may be allowed to add a personal note / apology to a dear friend .

    KK8 , I'm sorry ... is it OK with you if I add you back as a friend ? would you accept my sincere apology ?

    But that don't mean I agree with you on many things , ya know ?


    and to close on topic , I'll bet Obama knows that , so a lot of folks maybe , just saying , maybe ,,,, if the Economy picks up in the Spring , and it always has ; it's a new growing season ; construction will start up ; it always has ,,, if it takes off and un-employment goes down , Wall Street on an up-swing ,,, the housing market re-bounding , lot of if's , I know , but , with all respect to the views of others , many of my friends , I ask you this question ?

    Is the GOP 'Party of NO' more focused on helping our beloved nation recover from the current sorry condition we all now find ourselves in ?

    OR

    Is the GOP 'Party of NO' more focused on defeating Obama ?

    My opinion , the 'Republicant's have lost their wings in the court of public opinion ... Like I said to start with , A Cause without a Candidate ..

    You left out that Mormons are the fastest growing cult in America..and must be stopped.

    Funny how Romney' s faith isn't questioned..but his religion is.
    Others claim their religious background is SUPERIOR but only 2 ..both Mormons can actually prove it..and 1 ..Romney won its highest award for missionary work.

    Now compare that to the Drinking sex abuse of children/coverups.. that the so called righteous real religions show on a daily deal.Wars..conflicts over their religion all in Gods name..
    You might think that they would just keep quiet on this one.

    But no..anybody but a Mormon.

    and you get Obama.

    Party of no??,,seems to me it's the Democrats as well that shot down his plan,,,right? What does that tell you?
    I would imagine we could call the Dems the party of no as well since they never agree with the Republicans...correct? Lastly would you like to tell me when the Democrats did not want the other guy out as well?,,or do they usually stump for Republicans?...LOL
    Of course they want him the hell out, the opposing party always does...it's Obama who has been playing politics, putting together a plan he knew would never pass, even with his OWN people....

    well now Flounder , [​IMG] seems to me that the Republicant Party of NOO , after Obama was elected potus , just never did even try to meet the man half-way ,,, I can't think of a single time that the Grand Old Party has done anything in the past 3 years other than be a bunch of sour grapes , and meanwhile , the country is suffering on the brink of another economic melt-down , a long cold Winter ahead , gas & fuel oil prices will go up ,,, groceries always go up in the Winter , and things are bad ...and neither side can even agree on a 30 day extension of the Fed Budget , and the US Voters are supposed to have confidence in the GOP ability to straighten things out ? ? [​IMG]


    Having said that , I'll also say this .

    We'll make it through the Winter , and we'll help our neighbors and them that are in need , , we always have , haven't we ?

    The Spring of 2012 will come , the Economy will crank back up , construction will start , the bottomed out housing market will rebound , crops will be planted , consumers will be spending , Wall Street will be steadily rising , and the Winter will be over .... the hope of a renewed US Economy will rise as welcome as the warm Spring sunshine .

    May God Bless us with a mild winter and an early spring and the good rain.


    If that happens , and many pundits say it might , outlook not good , but it has a more than fair chance of doing just that ,,, then Obama is going to be a lot harder to defeat in 2012 than Foxx News gives him credit for ..

    After all , Obama did get Bin Laden , and that'll carry a lot of weight .

    The Blue Dogs stood up ... but they / I said 'let's fix the economy first' , and we've spoken of this before , not going to argue about it tonight ,,, maybe tomorrow night , ok ? Dan :)
