The point, of course, is we’ve been told that Romney is “most electable”. That he’ll clean Obama’s clock. That he’s got what we need to lead the nation. Blah, blah, blah.
All from the GOP-E.
Reality looks entirely different. As mentioned in my previous post “likely voters” increases in value the closer you get to the election.
At this point, we know that the universe of those already legally able to vote is favoring Obama over Romney. Even that number could change, since there’s still plenty of time to register for an election 6 months away.
FWIW, Romney’s an ultra-liberal. The best that could be said of him is that’s he’s another evil, but maybe the lesser of 2 evils. Some think the ruination he brings for a generation to the republican party actually makes him the greater of 2 evils.
When both candidates are so ideologically close, Obama wins because he’s the “Devil You Know.”
“The point, of course, is we’ve been told that Romney is “most electable”. That he’ll clean Obama’s clock.”
We won’t know that until November, so you cant claim its definitely false until then.
Romney has tended to be strongest in the head-to-head polls, but so what.
You seem to be more caring about what the GOP-E thinks than about the country. that’s a great way to waste time and energy, worrying about insiders who are clueless anyway. I dont give a flip what the GOP-E thinks or claims, I want what’s best for the country. We should have had a better primary candidate than Romney, but we didnt get one. So be it. Either you decide to work to defeat Obama or you dont.
If it makes you feel good to spite the future of the country to tweak the nose of the GOP-E, and attack the GOP nominee, I cant make you do differently. All I can say is the intraparty fighting doesnt add up to a hill of beans when balanced against what’s at stake with the country.
“Some think the ruination he [Romney] brings for a generation to the republican party actually makes him the greater of 2 evils.”
Some people are idiots. The is a vast difference between Obama and Romney, and we cannot afford more of Obama. You can pretend or say otherwise but deep down you know that is true, no matter what names you call Romney.
More Kagans on the court, more tax increases, Obamacare enshrined and controlling 1/7th of our economy, $6 trillion in new debt in 4 years, etc.
Care about your country first, and party second.
Our country needs to fire Obama. That’s why I am “Anyone But Obama”.
The good news for America is that most voters know wee are on the wrong track and want to do better.
