2012: Obama, Romney & Inevitability

Let's hope none of this comes to pass...

as ultimately will happen, because who else is there, really?

If we pretend she doesn't exist, maybe people will forget about her and choose Slick Willard instead! Yeah, that's the ticket...

I am surprised that Romney continues to defend MAs failed healthcare plan.

“Mande, what a good wife you would be, but my life, my love and my lady is the sea.”

"2012: Obama, Romney & Inevitability"

Bob Dole - a Good Man, John McCain - a Good Man, Mitt Romney - a Good Man.

Anyone who pretends to know what will happen politically in 2012 is a fool.

Too soon to predict; way too many variables.

McCain, Romney, RINO’s all.

“Whether or not anyone prefers to acknowledge it, Mitt Romney is already the default, de facto Republican presidential nominee”

That’s a good one...this guy got anymore? Mitt...hahahahahahahaha...good one...

About the Author

Name: Mande Wilkes

Web Site: Link

Bio: Former runway model and law school grad who lives in Myrtle Beach, Mande has earned our undying admiration not only for her wicked verbage, but because she spells her name minus the obligatory redneck. Mande graduated from the College of Charleston with a B.S. in Psychology, and is a recent graduate of the Charleston School of Law. Also recently, she failed the Bar Exam, sparking widespread rumors that she lost an offer to clerk for some prestigious judge. Mande’s punditry covers law and politics.

So we should listen to her why? Cuz she says it?

If we’re going to lose anyway, let’s just throw the “Hail Sarah” pass and see what happens!

Oh that’s right. If we run Romney and lose, we’ll be respected by the Left for bravely facing History and surrendering gracefully (like the French!!). But if we run Palin, we’ll lose the respect of the Left and their media lapdogs for dragging some hick out of a tree-stand and throwing some shoes on her to run against The One.

That’s the kind of underdog story that real Americans just love!

I’m not.

If we pretend she doesn't exist, maybe people will forget about her and choose Slick Willard instead! Yeah, that's the ticket...

Who cares any more?

Seriously however, who cares any more?

Obviously, in a free society we get what we deserve.

Guess what, we got what we deserved.

Life's a b!tch, ya' marry one, and then ya' die.

Romney is RomneyCare. Not on anything would I even pretend to support him. I’d definitely have to go 3rd party should a RINO get the nomination. It would mean the GOP still hadn’t learned anything.

"It's the economy stupid"

anyone remember that?

What? So we’re just skipping over the primaries now? LOL!

The falacy in your argument is that there won’t be two dems running in the 2012 election. If it’s Romney it will be a democrat and a communist. If it’s Palin it will be a conservative Republican. Remember the name Palin!!! The manner in which she’s being attacked is indicative of the fear they have of her ability to knock them off.

loser RINO’s all

Mitch Daniels , Governor of Indiana, looked pretty good on TV last week up against Granholm last Sunday. Anybody know where he is on right-left spectrum? Hopefully not another Lugar.

A former runway model with a BS degree. Yep. Ooh, and she spells her name with an ‘e’ instead of a ‘y’. Sistah, please. You probably think Mitt is cute and you want the cute guy to win. While Sarah, after 5 kids, could probably out walk you on the catwalk AND run the country. Meeghan McCain lite.

He’s the defacto choice of godless, conscience-less RINOs. But just as in the case of that flaming RINO Crist in Florida, a storm is coming. And no amount of wishful thinking by their friends in the media is going to help these RINOs win.

While I agree that Romney is a dead duck, it isn’t because of health care. A clear majority reject health care reform because it isn’t reform it is a take over and has nothing to do with health care. It is a loser for Bozo and his crew.

Mitt Romney is already the default, de facto Republican presidential ~~nominee~~ liberal gay MSM media pick in 2012.

Republicans won't nominate Romney. He got all the support he was going to get last time.

The grounds for the decision in 2012 have yet to come to pass.

Every bit as bad as people think things are now the reality of 2011 will make 2009 look like the gilded age, and I fear we will look back at even Carter as being pretty good by comparison.

In that climate people will stop looking for a bright shiny object, the latest fad or an American idol. Looks and presentation will matter much less than performance.

They will look for a proven track record of recovery and fiscal solutions.

There is one out there...

Stick Romney where the sun doesn’t shine!!!

Why do you people keep pushing that socialist pile of dung!!!!

“Bob Dole - a Good Man, John McCain - a Good Man, Mitt Romney - a Good Man.”

All garbage!

Romney could beat McLame. He’s toast.

Indianans can best answer, but from what I know, Mitch seems like a pretty smart guy who seems like he’d be to Lugar’s right. Lugar is such a wuss, and he’s been around way too long. But Daniels once worked for George W Bush, so there’s bound to be sour grapes against him for that, alone...

"Why do you people keep pushing that socialist pile of dung!!!!"

I'm sure you mean the author. My tagline tells the story on who I'm "pushing" for 2012.

Great comment from the article: "Romney’s problem is, more to the point, that he’ll be running as a Democrat in disguise against a Democrat demagogue.

For the whole series of Zero dollar bills, go here:

Thanks; I do also recall now that he was CEo for Eli Lilly some time ago, so I’d guess that counts against him anywhere but Indiana.

Romney needs to take a chill pill, sit down and feast on some of that food stored up in his walls. (For those in Rio Linda, some Mormons practice the storing of food in their walls, why, I have no idea.)

“If we’re going to lose anyway, let’s just throw the “Hail Sarah” pass and see what happens!”

Exactly, let’s go on principle next time, solid, unassailable, conservative principle. We saw last timw what happens when we nominate someone who the media “approves” of. Time to drive the liberals bonkers.

Palin 2012

Absolutely. As it is, nobody else excites anyone.

So are they saying we may as well stay home? Its not like Willard will win or anything.

ROMNEY - Corrupt like the others

"Top 20 Recipients of AIG Contributions in 2008"

The ‘Republican’ party is gonna do whatever THEY want to do.

They’ll give us ANOTHER Rino like Romney. We need to show them torches and pitchforks! We need to let THEM know we will NOT accept another schlub that THEY wanna hand us!

What a steaming pile of cr@p. MittCare Romney’s socialist health care program makes his nomination impossible.

We'll need a huge bucket!

Bob Dole - a Good Man, John McCain - a Good Man, Mitt Romney - a Good Man. /sarc but they all meant well!

RomneyCARE has ... problems.

“The former CBO director, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, warns today on the effect ObamaCare
will have on our economy and health care. …This bill will lead to a huge middle class tax increase:
The bill creates a new health entitlement program that the Congressional Budget Office
(CBO) estimates will grow over the longer term at a rate of 8% annually, which is much
faster than the growth rate of the economy or tax revenues.“

”When Barack Obama ran for president, he promised that his health care plan would
"lower health-care costs by $2,500 for the typical family." Now, it turns out that new
legislation that he supports creating public-private "co-operatives" will increase the costs
of family health insurance by $4,000 by 2019.”

john mccain- goodman??
not close to being true, just not as bad as the typical rat.

Anyone who pretends to know what will happen politically in 2012 is a fool.

Too soon to predict; way too many variables.

the outcome of any war is never predetermined, but must be fought.
Point well made.

After watching the Underdog link you posted, I had forgotten how much John McCain looks like Simon Bar Sinister.

Mande Wilkes, former runway model she may be, has that burnt out, Mrs. James Carville look about her.

Bob Dole is not garbage. The man has bled for this country more than enough to deserve our respect if not our vote. Ditto’s for McCain. Mitt has accomplished far more than most of us ever will but he is not the person to lead this nation. I believe one maybe two of our ladies will tackle PFL BO in 2012.
