Given the quality of the ‘Pubbie opposition, I am more interested in finding a way for Obama to LOSE!

Right now, if I were a betting man, I’d be laying bets for Obama 2012.

“work for...the election of a Republican president who – whoever he or she is – will most certainly fire Obama’s appointees, retract his executive orders, and sign the bills of the Republican Congress.”

Really? How many conservative judges did Willard appoint during his governorship in MA? Will he dismantle ObamaCare, which is based in large part on RomneyCare? Pardon us if we are very skeptical of this agiprop.

No 3rd party will win for at least 8 years, IMHO. Only Romney or Gingrich can win the republican nomination. Unless opposition to the Kenyan unites around the republican nominee, whoever that is, the Kenyan wins.

That truth sucks but it is the truth and the republic is in the balance.

Option One: An Economic Boom => will not happen

Option Two: An October Surprise => always happens, but never has had much effect

Option Three: A Weak Opponent => doesn't matter. Voters will be voting against Obama, not for the GOP candidate. The GOP primary is being fought so hard because it will choose the next POTUS, not the general election

Option Four: Vote Fraud Triumphs => always good for about 1% of the popular vote in the past. Double that for Obama. Will be especially bad in PA. This is the only option that has any merit.

Option Five: The Republican Base Sits It Out => not a chance.

GOD I hope you're right, but today daily Rasmussen is downright depressing. Comrade Zero's overall approval % is up to 50.

WTF is wrong with people in this country???

Option Seven: Massachusetts Mormon RINO Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee.

Democrats get immigrants, legal and illegal, to vote before they have citizenship.
In Los Angeles hundreds of people in front of stores getting mexicans to sign up to vote.

1. Because he is black
2. Romney is the nominee
3. Because of voter fraud
4. Because the MSM and BHO lie about the alleged recovery, cooking the books
5. Because he is black

Many of BHO executive orders are, maybe, setting the stage for just that.
(very far fetched) BHO could just declare all Republicans terrorist and arrest us without cause other than his thought that we are terrorist.

Economic gains boost Obama’s 2012 chances, poll says

Posted 2/6/12 8:12 a.m.

NEW YORK (WLS) - Mitt Romney has solidified his position for the Republican nomination but lost ground in the main event, with improved economic indicators and questions about Romney’s wealth and taxes lifting President Obama to a head-to-head advantage for the first time this cycle, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Fifty percent of Americans surveyed in the new poll approve of Obama’s job performance, the most since spring. Moreover, 50 percent say he deserves re-election — better than Bill Clinton at the start of his re-election year and as good as George W. Bush a month before he won a second term. And now, Obama leads Romney among registered voters by a slight 51-45 percent, the first time either has cracked 50 percent in a series of matchups since spring.

Option Six: Obama does away with the ‘antiquated, racist idea’ of a second term. One lifetime-long term will do.

Well if Romney is the nominee I’m out. I refuse to vote for a Liberal who supports several positions to which I am opposed.

More simply put: I’d prefer 4 more years of Obama with a Republican Congress then, best case, 8 years of a liberal Republican and a Republican Congress pushed to the left by their “leader” (worst case 16+ years of liberalism with post-Romney Dems).

The former may do damage to the country but the later does damage to country and cause. In 2012 I’ll stick to voting based on principles and accept whatever outcome results.
