In the end, 2012 will be as much a referendum on America as it is on Obama. Should he win re election it will speak for himself.

No. This is the way fascists think. In socialism, the government owns the businesses that they order about. In fascism, the private sector owns the businesses that government orders about.

Come on already! Trump is no conservative. Trump is a liberal and a charlatan to boot. He appeals more to malcontents then anyone else.

You may get your wish after all. Trump may run as an independent. Link

Well, teh Republican is losing in the most Republican House district in New York State tonight based in part on her opponent’s use of the Medicare issue and that wonderful Newt Gingrich’s idiot statements in support of the Democratic position.

Polls are no longer reflective of public opinion. Their only purpose today is to shape public opinion. Keep that in mind whenever you see this cr@p being shoveled out.

That may be the case; however, the polls in the New York congressional race actually understated the Dem’s support. They had her up by four; she’s winning by six with half the vote in. Thanks again, Mr. Gingrich.

I can't find a Democrat in my area that will vote for him except African Americans and I live in a county that voted for Mondale/Ferraro!

If the Republicans can run a candidate that will pound the facts of Obama economics he/she will win like Reagan over Mondale/Ferraro.

Right. Right, right, right. And if a moron like Trump could do damage to Obama as he did - Imagine what a real conservative could do!

My point is that we have no dog in the race right now. I think that’s good. Too early. But when the time is right - and a real conservative steps up (NO ROMNEY, NEWT, OR HUCKY-LIKE CANDIDATES!)- then we will see Obama’s numbers drop like a rock.

I will modify it by saying 50% of Americans fit the description.

On the BC issue, Obama trumped Trump!

Fact is, Trump is not a serious political player. Period.

IMO, the 2012 election cycle is gonna be a tough time for Obama and the libdems.

If conservatives can get united behind a red blooded conservative it will pay off with big gains. That means rank and file GOPers need to push back hard against the GOP establishment and tell the MSM to stuff it.

Really? So you are one of those who believe the BC issue is settled?

It always amuses me that whenever there are one of those 1,000 reply threads regarding Certifigate, there are still those FReepers yelling “Stop it! The birth certificate issue is over!”

Never been on one of those threads, had better things to do. But will always keep an open mind to rational ideas based on concrete thought. Other than that, the BC issue has not been a big issue for me.

And the 2012 election will not turn on whether Obama's BC is real or fake, or whether he is, or is not, a NBC according to some convoluted reasoning.

You want to keep wasting your time with that nonsense, have at it!

Thanks for your advice. And you... You keep watching Dancing with the Stars, or the View, or whatever hot popular TV show is in these days. And leave the political issues to those who are interested.

Why are Obama's poll numbers up?

Same reason the stock market is above 14,000. The dollar is only worth half what it was two years ago. The market is not booming; the dollar is dropping in value.

Obama's numbers are up because the pollsters are doubling the percentage of Democrats in their sampling, and diminishing the Republicans and independents. 50% of those polled like the communist punk; 50% of those polled ARE communist punks.
