Continuing with the “Obama is a stock” analogy, I would definitely not go long; I think that his ability to pay a dividend has just about dried up.

What you should ask the good little Democrats and coffee shop trendies is: “Do they REALLY think their liberal credentials will survive what’s coming?”

Innuendo being as salacious as it is, might they find themselves the victim? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. And misery loves company.

Whom will they complain too when your on the bottom of the Obamacare waiting list?

I think the percentage of morons in America is higher than that, but the press is not happy with Obama spying on them, so things may turn around.

While Republicans Rant About Benghazi and IRS, Public Mostly Yawns....

THIS is exactly why the right to vote should be exclusive to those who qualify for it . No immigrant should be allowed to vote . Only their children should gain that right ,having been themselves born here to parents who originally immigrated . No one under the age of 25 should be able to vote UNLESS they have served , or are serving honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces . All voters should be required to take a basic civics and U.S history test , and pass it , IN ENGLISH . No one on welfare or food stamps should have the right to vote ,as long as they are on the public dole . Disgraced public officials including those caught abusing their rank in the military , should ever be allowed to vote again . We have for too long been casting our pearls to swine and the swine are now running the show . It’s time to take our country back and restore that which we should value the most , the right to vote , to the high status that it should hold. A right one much earn and deserve . Not just another handout for the clueless and the careless .

Four Americans dead in Benghazi.

Four Americans dead in Boston bombing.

Four Americans dead in Afghanistan.

Where will the next four dead Americans be?

Thanks Democrats.

Of course they do. The lazy bass turds stay up all night getting drunk. Those of us who have to get up in the morning and go to work to support those who don’t, don’t have the time to yawn.

If the Media were reporting this like they reported on Bush, Obama’s rating would go in the toilet fast enough.

I'm seriously wondering just what Nixon did that was SO awful.

Obama does things way worse, but the MSM does just yawn.

Oh, they'll get their sea-legs back after a couple of punches have been thrown at them, but make no mistake, the media protects Obama. at any and all costs.

The only upside is when there is another republican in the WH (yes, it will happen) we can then simply use every tactic thrown out by Obama. Nothing to see, democrats being obstructionists, don't want to get America working again, etc.

I don’t like that fact that Obama recieved a majority of the popular vote in 2012 or that he won a large majority in the electoral college, but those are the uncomfortable facts. Obama remains very popular amongst the moron class, but you seem to want to shoot the messenger if anyone points out that painful truth.

You don’t have to believe it, but it would be the smart thing to do. If you pay attention, you will notice that he makes predictions on House and Senate races, Presidential races are just a sideline. I will guarantee you that members of the House and Senate pay attention to what he has to say, they understand that he will be able to tell them if they will need to put their house up for sale, or if they can go ahead with that addition that they have been planning.

On the prediction side, his record speaks for itself. On the politics side, he’s a liberal, but I think that I repeat myself. It’s a distinction that you would be wise to make.

When all are enfranchised against the advice of the Founders, the result is tyranny and self destruction.

We have a corrupt lawless government run by a political class comprised of crooks, liars, and thieves.

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of federal apparatchiks at all of the useless agencies all making over 100K a year to basically push paper around and take every other day off.

There is no saving us from the morons who have been enfranchised via Constitutional Amendment.

This Republic must be reset.

So Cooke called the 2012 race for Obamugabe? Yippee.

I know of this person....my invective was used to highlight the absurdity of pure political polling regarding matters of the lives of Americans under attack by terrorists.

I’m waiting for the story from a-hole like this that says, Republicans who warned the country 4and a half years ago that Obama was a radical left wing ideologue intent on destroying the country were right
