“Save the economy under O and then you got two term Dem POTUSes who will be seen as a success and one two term Republican POTUS who will be seen as a failure. That will be the end.”

I don’t buy that, not anymore. In this last election we had a President by all observations was a failure. He didn’t run on his record, yet he won. (At least it appears that way) So the converse would be possible, a success could lose as well.

I’m not a big believer in issue campaigns anymore because besides us on FR and a few million more no one knows squat about how this country works or who its leaders are.

And I’m not pinning my hopes on the media telling a story that will paint Obama as any thing but a victim he things don’t go well.

I’d rather hope and pray for impeachment rather than suffer through a collapse and hope Obama gets blamed for it. Because really we have unemployment of over 15%, incomes are going down, the standard of living is going down, gas prices have tripled and everything is just great....

If we get a collapse I’d put money Congress will get the blame.

Save Obama and you got this as an argument:

1) Republicans saved the economy under President Clinton
2) Republicans killed the economy under President Bush
3) Republicans saved the economy under President Obama

So vote in another Republican so...

And it will be repeated here over and over.
We need to be spared that loser.

RE :”I’d rather hope and pray for impeachment rather...”

So far your prayers that Romney will beat O didnt help much and impeachment is much a longer shot than that,.

Like I said, Reid and Bohner wont touch it.

Well I can see how you think that since so far they made sure that they would get the blame for every standoff by saying stupid stuff in front of camera. "Yeh man, shut it down" then they cave anyway.

Now if Dems had to say:
‘Republicans killed the economy under POTUS Obama’
then at least they would sound as stupid as Republicans do when they make similar arguments/
