If the GOP had a useful candidate, these vote margins would be more like 65 to 35. That is what galls me to no end. We are probably going to have a done to the last illegal vote night or week to determine who won when it should have been a shut out.
Meanwhile, why the Odope is dropping in the polls, our distinguished losers in the house and senate have agreed to have a non partisan meeting with him over the budget. Give me a break, they need throw him a lifeline now? Let him sink in his own cesspool of narcism and folly. Nope, the crier and the ten pin will go up there and tacitly admit they have been obstructing his grand plans and for that they are sorry. They never learn...this is just like Ryan being invited to be present when his lordship gave that college address and proceeded to undress him in public. Of course, for most of the GOP leadership if a squirll ran up one pants leg and came down the other, the squirill would not find any nuts.
Hey I agree with you, it would be an epic blowout if we ran a real conservative running. But Obama going down in flames is a good thing for America, I want to see that no talent, hack go down and suffer. Economically these four years have been the worst of my life. I can live to fight another day under Romney, I can’t under Obama.
Thanks for the laugh this morning!
I just don’t get this freeper meme that says if we had another candidate we would be up 65 to 35 over obama, instead of the 2 or 3 points Romney is up now.
Romney already thumped Newt and Santorum among Republicans, and it goes against all logic and common sense to say Newt or Santorum would be doing better with independents or conservative democrats than Romney is right now.
This 65 to 35 meme to me just sounds like sour grapes coming from freepers who still can’t get over the fact their guy or woman lost in the primaries.
Besides there is way too many minorities, gays, socialists wanna bees, and far left liberals that automatic rat votes for ANY republican to win 65% of the vote. The current demographics of this country just wont allow it.
There is not going to be any brokered convention. No 3rd party candidate is going to get more votes than Obama. The reality is republicans have one choice if they want to beat Obama and thats Romney.
I know some freepers feel that we would be better off with 4 more years of obama than Romney. Well if thats you and if you feel like we would be better off with Obama stacking the supreme court with 2 or 3 more radical libs than by all means help obama defeat Romney, but dont give me the other meme that Romney would appoint libs judges just like Obama. Romney might not be a solid ultra conservative but he certainly is not some far left lib either.
Yeah sure Romney said and did some fairly non-conservative things while gov. of the peoples republic of massachusetts, but afterall that is probably the most socialist liberal state in the country even moire so that california, so if he didnt put on a moderate face their he would never have come close to being elected gov. there, and mass would have been stuck with a ultra lib gov instead of a moderate one.
Romney is not going to nominate lib judges to the supreme court because the state of mass will not be the people he has to answer to. the people he has to answer to will be the conservatives, so he will want to keep conservatives happy by appointing conservative judges. Just like obama will want to keep libs happy by appointing lib judges, and throw in the fact obama will have 4 years of not having to worry about what the country thinks. we will have a 4 year non stop episode of socialists and gays gone wild.
I also hear some freepers say it doesnt matter if romney appoints the right judges or enacts the right policies because he wont be doing it because it’s whats in his heart, he will only be doing it because he knows he has to pacify conservatives to get relected in 2016. Well who cares why he does it ????? As long as romney did the right things I could care less if he is doing it with a pure heart or a oppurtunists heart. the bottom line is he would be doing the right things which is much more than what you can say for what obama would do. i swear some freepers act like their romneys wife or girlfriend with all this pure of heart stuff.
My message to freepers is keep your eye on the ball and remember whats really important and thats beating obama.
I agree a candidate who could take the idological fight to the people and articulate it will would get 60%+ of the popular vote. However Romney as much as he doesn’t excite anyone will get 55%+ of the vote.
Obama has a ceiling of 43-45%, if he makes absolutely no mistakes he won’t get more than that much of the vote. He can’t. So, short of something drastically changing, 3rd party candidate out of nowhere, or war or natural disaster or something, Mickey Mouse would beat OBama by ~ 55-45. Romney will run a safe boring campaign and beat him in that range.
Someone like a Gingrich who would have made it completely ideological battle every step and could articulate it would have I agree made it a 60-40 or 65-35 victory. But wasn’t to happen.
I am not planning on voting for Romney but the rock bottom percentage for a democrat president is about 40-42%.
Uh... the word is squirrel.
Don't think I can agree with you there. Obama (or any Democrat) is automatically going to get 40-45% of the vote no matter who the GOP puts up. There was only one time in modern history a Democrat got less than 40%. You have to go back to the 1972 Nixon landslide to the last time the Dems has less than 40% of the popular vote (37.52% for McGovern).
Here is the Democratic popular vote since:
1976 - 48.02% (Carter)
1980 - 41.01% (Carter)
1984 - 40.56% (Mondale)
1988 - 45.65% (Dukakis)
1992 - 43.01% (Clinton)
1996 - 49.23% (Clinton)
2000 - 48.38% (Gore)
2004 - 48.27% (Kerry)
2008 - 52.87% (Obama)
So visions of a 65-35 GOP cakewalk is probably a pipe dream - Even Reagan couldn't do that against Carter or Mondale.
The best hope Obama has right now is to have an opponent that is polarizing. The only way Obama can hope to win is that if enough independents think the other guy is even worse. Well that will not be the case with Romney. I realize that many conservatives loathe Romney - and for good reason. But in the end, no matter how much they say otherwise on internet forums, they are going to pull the lever for him because no way will they be voting for Obama.
So it's not disgruntled conservatives but the independents that will be deciding this election.
