    If Romney does get elected, don't be surprised if he vetoes the overturning of Obamacare.

    You're absolutely correct.

    The southern Baptist have 2 choices..
    1 is a black democrat. Obama.

    They already have that. ( and he aint no devil worshiper )
    the 2nd is a Black baptist.. in Cain.
    V. a Mormon cult follower.

    They would choose any Baptist over a Mormon..any Black conservative over a black liberal.

    Religion trumps color..
    Religion beats competence.
    Southern religion beats Northern liberalism.

    Perhaps the Republicans did not agre because his ideas were all agenda and losers,,,lets see....

    Stimulus.........................LOSER,,,,but he made sure to take care of destroying what was left of the Welfare reform act, that was a complete success even according to the NY Times...

    Health Care...........,,,,mmm,,,lets see...the clear majority of the country does not want it, we even insisted many parts were unworkable and the thing would be a fortune,,when of course he said it was going to be deficit neutral....REMEMBER???
    Seems to me we just heard they are pulling the plug on one part already...Now why is that you may ask....?
    Because it's UNWORKABLE AND THE THING WOULD BE A FORTUNE.....:-D

    Now he has this other Brain storm with his job plan that his own party is saying........pssssstttt.....Nix it Boss, it's a Loser

    NOW!!!,,,aint you glad we have the Republicans????? :) Somebody has to save us from this NUT!!...[​IMG]


    The only brain storm he has ever had is those two kids,,,pretty Cute....other than that.........meh...

    I like the ideology of Ron Paul.

    I like the stage charisma of Cain.

    But I know only Romney is close to saving America. We need a none-ideological technocrat. He is the one.

    Because the ideology doesn't allow moderation/or enough wiggle room to lead a nation..only a part of a political wing. Everyone else would be against you.
    If you run as a conservative baptist minister..and fail..you would be judged on your religion ?
    No..
    But Romney is already condemned and sentenced.
    And he wins at everything he touches..go figure.

    Maybe we should all convert ..

    Better to have a Morman than a muslim, but I'm hopeful Perry will have some good debates and turn it around.

    I'm not going to post the chart again, I'm sure you have seen it, But evidently don't understandf it. I'm talking about the chart that shows job losses at 750,000 a month when Obama took office. Then the stimulus. Within months we were adding jobs. So..... For you to say the stimulus did not work????? Please explain For you to say it did not work is a lie you have heard Republicans say over and over til some people actually believe it
    The numbers don't lie. The fact is we were losing 750,000 jobs a month before the stimulus, this was a result of 8 years of Bush economic policies. You want to go back there?

    Bull,,,all he did was protect some Government jobs and Union people [all of his backers],,,PROVE the stimulus did anything else,,he protected his Union people....
    The economy always bounces back on it's own to some extent, always will....

    By the way, nobody stays in office by suggesting...WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN!!!!

    I'm already hearing talk of a Romney/Cain ticket. Waffle Boy meets "I Have No Idea".

    There is no "bouncing back" when an economy was propped up for decades by smoke and mirrors and unsustainable bubble economies. We never should have been where we were economically and it will take decades to get us back to where we can legitimately grow our economy.

    Of course, we will never get there so long as our government works in the interests of the global corporate elite and disregard the domestic economy as they have done for decades.

    We need to get the influence of money out of the electoral and legislative processes, we need to create an atmosphere that encourages and supports small business entrepreneurship and innovation. We need to create an incentive for students to go into the engineering, science, and mathematics fields. We need to position our country for long term economic growth and viability. We have been ignoring this for too long.

    The solution is so pathetically simple it will blow the wind off track.
    Government just has to cut back.A simple 1% reduction in all Government
    agencies would do the trick.
    Yet the standard is intolerable for Democrats who Live to Tax and Spend.
    Spend and foster bigger and bigger Government,thereby creating a
    hub for power and electoral graft via promising jobs.
    Union { SEIU & Government jobs }.

    Both the Democrats and Republicans support a big government for big business agenda and have done so for a long time.

    Our government needs to cut back spending significantly more than 1% to effect the change necessary to increase the value of our money and foster domestic investment and development. It isn't going to happen with Republicans and Democrats in control.

    Never underestimate the delusion of the Republicans. Romney SHOULD be a shoo-in for the nomination. However, he probably won't be.

    Well, If you mean he tried to keep Teachers, Policeman, Fireman, and construction workers on the job instead of being given pink slips as a way of protecting his union buddies, he would probably plead guilty.
    I find it interesting how when things go bad you are very quick to place blame but when things go good, Its "The economy always bounces back on it's own to some extent, always will....
    You know, at least when I make a point, I at least try to work with a few facts,numbers that can be verified. You don't seem to have nothing to back your reteric up with.

    What facts do you need?,,you just agreed with me it's obvious. He protected his own with our money while others suffered. I never said things looked good, and you have no facts to say they did, all you have is ''It COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE'' can you imagine every politician using that excuse to get re-elected???? LOL It's like telling the Public...''You only think I Stink.''

    Do you remember shovel ready???, do you remember infrastructure?, Lowering unemployment? you should he talked about it a thousand times. These are the facts as the public sees them, of course Gitmo, no Lobbyists, no inside bidding, a health plan nobody wants, Cap and rape, and a number of other things as well....

    I believe if you check History you will see I am correct, it's always the economy and the buck ends with him....ask Bush Senior....

    [​IMG] Flounder , that dog just won't hunt , old buddy ... and there's a whole lot of schoolteachers & policemen & sanitation workers & EMS folks , the Fire Dept , and other local jobs that the Bush stimulus effort that was rammed through both houses went to and saved their paychecks ,,, and I for one consider that my tax dollars well spent ... but , Flounder , I know the taxes you pay in Long Island , so I can understand where you're coming from ,, old friend ,,, I'm just saying that I don't agree with all your solutions . [​IMG]

    and that's why Obama will have a second term , the 'Party of NO' has forgotten and said good riddance to the the members labeled as the Tea Party ,,, and about 50 million AARP voters ( many of them former stalwart gop faithful ) but many crossover votes there , the GOP gonna have to start some major TV adds to stop that , hasn't happened yet , though ... meanwhile , the Perry Ponzi SS battle cry will be remembered at election time as is remembered the Alamo .

    and the fact that most of the money went to bail-out Wall Street & AIG & the Big Banks will be remembered by many voters , gop and dem alike that lost money on their investments and had to eat it , Main Street didn't get any of that money , and that's where it should have gone , in my opinion.

    the GOP ain't got no one that has the balls to beat Obama in 2012 ,,, and now , in the court of public opinion , as seen on CNN tonight , the GOP horde of candidates have proven yet again what I have said all along , they present themselves well , but they are not Presidential material ..

    the Grand Old Party has lost their angel wings ...[​IMG]

    It makes no sense to spend to keep the status quo somebody else is working to provide for their job,,I could see it if their other buddies pitched in with their pensions, but like anybody else they are on their own!! Hell if they were not voting for Obama they would not have gotten a dime, this vote buying has got to stop. What about the guy in the private sector that's paying for them?,,whats he getting back,,,WHAT? It's bullchit!!!!

    I hear a lot of talking but no Poll facts, the guy is going down like the TITANIC, yet you figure he'll win? You do not win with a 38 approval number LOL.

    You do not think Romni is PRESIDENTIAL??,,,HELL WE GOT OBAMA!!! :omfg: AGAIN....please show me the poll, the polls I see he will get killed by Romni, and now Cain as well...

    Ya need more than words Dan, you need facts...

    You would think that people would just put their petty rivalries aside and just vote for Obama, I mean all that non democrats want to do is raise taxes and make the rich richer anyone with common sense and who isnt as rich as trump would vote for the Dem. candidates not just Obama but in the house and senete to.A democratic government is really the solution they are for us and not the rich why do people insist on blaming Obama when the reps wont even vote on a simple jobs bill. REALLY????

    I would suck it up if Romney was the nominee.

    But Cain is clearly the winner and right choice.
    #1 reason is to counter the race baiting democrats which they always do and will destroy any white Republican nominee.

    Go Cain!!!

    Stop these race baiters
