Obama May Be the End of the Line for the US.

The GOP base sees government as a burden that weighs the private sector down rather than a tool that can generate growth if used properly. Ninety-six percent of Republican voters believe that the best thing the government can do to help the economy is to cut spending and free up more money for the private sector.

Corporate welfare is nothing more than 1940's state socialism in the emperor's new clothing

read the article.

you’ll agree with it.

[Psalm 144]

It is a winner takes all bet, IMO.

Though the establishment has dominated the party since Reagan left the White House, the 2012 election could well be the end of the line.

This will be the end of the line for the GOP-E, should Romney fail to beat the snot out of the Marxist.

[AlmaKing]

If Romney loses, he will be the most hated man among conservative voters.

[MNJohnnie]

Odd how Rass response here is in lock step with the GOP Establishment reaction.

Seems Scott has met the enemy and it is him.

“Someone new, from outside of Washington, will be the party’s nominee in 2016.”

This assumes there will BE an election in 2016 if Obama wins. I don’t believe this is a safe assumption.

[cripplecreek]

Both Romney and Obama highlighted the condescending attitude that political elites hold of the people they want to rule over.

Its a true contrast with Reagan and as much as it pains me to say so, its also a contrast with Bill Clinton.

If Romney loses, he will be the most hated man among conservative voters.

He's already running a close second. :>)

[dfwgator]

Believe me, I am holding my tongue now, because all that matters is getting Obama out.

[xzins]

I was surprised, too, that Rasmussen sees himself as an outsider.

Or, at least, he wants his readers to see him as an outsider.

Maybe, though, as a pollster, he wants us to see him as a “no sider”. “I just report the polls, sir, I don’t make them happen.”

[Psalm 144]

“Obama May Be the End of the Line for the US.”

Obama is an accelerant. The fuel is idiotic federal policies going back decades.

[xzins]

Yes, Bill was willing to mingle with commoner females.

LOL.

[GeronL]

If Romney loses, we might not see 2016

[MNJohnnie]

Ok compare and contrast reactions. Bill Kristol, Scott Rassmussen and the in side DC Romney critics are all upset about how “insensitive” and “out of touch” Romney is.

Rush Limbaugh, Hannity and just about everyone outside the DC beltway in the Conservative movement are “About time someone spoke the truth about this”.

[Evil Slayer]

If Romney loses in November, the Republican base will no longer buy the electability argument for an establishment candidate. From the view of the base, the elites will have given away an eminently winnable election. Someone new, from outside of Washington, will be the party's nominee in 2016.

I recommend everyone seeing the documentary at your local theater "2016: Obama's America". Think about it as you leave the theater at the end of the show. Do you really think we will even have a country after another 4 years of the tin horn dictator? Even if we got rid of all the RINOS and GOPe types, the ending of that show will sink in. We are at the tipping point right now. The greatest battle for stopping tyranny is getting rid of the occupier that calls himself "king". And we all know what had to happen to stop that back in 1776.

Hear, hear!

“Someone new, from outside of Washington, will be the party’s nominee in 2016”

I might argue there won’t BE a party (GOP).
