"The People" who make up the 60 - 70% of Republicans who don't vote for him likely have studied their American history accounts of Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and Madison, and are looking for a modern inspirational leader like Reagan--a man who had taken the personal time to immerse himself in the ideas essential to liberty, and was willing and able to recognize the enemies of freedom and to engage in a battle of ideas against the counterfeit ideas of socialism.
His casual writing off of the President as "a good man who is in over his head," or that "does not understand how the economy works," is either naive or a dangerous deliberate mischaracterization.
Sorry for the double post!! Gremlins?
- High gas prices
- Soaring debt
- Low morale in USA military
- Middle East & North Africa now controlled by Muslim radicals
- Iraq & Afghanistan lost to Muslim radicals
- Economy stagnant & listless
- Inflation on the march
- unemployment, under employee way too high
- USA not respected as world’s #1 leader
- Obama worked like a puppet by other world leaders & USA enemies
- Iran will get a nuclear bomb, thanks to Obama, Inc.
- USA going bankrupt under Obama & Democrats
- Freedom & Liberty slipping away in the USA
- Obama working with passion to bring the USA down
- And....on & on & on with America detractor Barack Hussein Obama!!!
Forget Romney, forget Santorum, forget Paul, forget Gingrich.
A blind monkey, with one hand tied behind his back will beat Obama politically in a runaway landslide.
Forget the media Obama spin, forget the Obama fundraising, forget the Obama videos. A failure is a failure!!! And....such is Obama!!! End of story!!!
Romney will get SLAUGHTERED by Obama. I don’t care who he picks to run with him. Personally, the VP slot means nothing to me.
Romney’s MANY problems aside, people never vote for “lite”. They will not vote Obama-lite, they will vote Obama.
Me? Third Party if he is nominated.
Santorum 2012
The kenyan will open the spigots on the national oil stockpile in time to have the price of gas substantially lower in time for the election. The kenyan will win the election even if his name is Romney.
“Will they be able to at least create this illusion?”
Yep. Ten days before re-election (face it.. that`s what it is if Romney`s the GOP nominee), Obama could announce a major release of oil from the SPR. A couple days later, he could announce the approval of Keystone or some other major drilling initiative... all the while knowing the leftards won`t desert him. Gas prices drop by a quarter per gallon nearly immediately.
Because these are American voters who don`t study cause and effect and concentrate only on the here and now, they`ll be in awe of Obama`s “ability” to enact change for the “good of working families.”
Three days after re-election the approval for drilling will be unceremoniously rescinded “for further study.”
What Obama is going to announce is that he is backing off the federal individual insurance mandate, in favor of a state enacted mandate, which Romney is on record favoring.
Romney will be toast and we will be stuck with Obamacare.
It would not work. The oil markets know that releasing oil from the strategic oil reserve is temporary and not sustained and they are not going to drop the oil price in any significant way because of this.
I know, we send money to help him stay in and pray for sanity and reason at a brokered convention. We believe he is the only one who can beat obama.
NO—People want a change—they are sick of Obama’s preaching little high pitched voice. Its like Erkle all the time. They will replace him with Omaba Light (ie Romney) just for a change in voice. What will happen:
A) All the Republicans will Vote Romney—Tea Party Too out of fear of four more Obama years.
B) All Democrats will vote Obama because they are told too.
C) The Independents will vote for change—They elected Obama in 2008 and they are sick of him and his lies and Blame Bush talk.
Mitt Romney is 2012’s John Kerry.
Probably true, but Romney isn't the same caliber of honesty and integrity that Buddy is - many of us will leave it blank or write someone in (maybe Buddy) before voting for Romney. He's probably the only one we could have put up that will not be a noticable improvement on Obama.
Gremlins are afoot.
Your dog Buddy can beat Obama???? Is that you, Bill?
It just amazes me that he is even considered by the RNC to be a valid choice for President. Recall "HillaryCare" and the uproar that created, and that was before the explosion of the Internet (although Jim Robinson was rallying the troops then too! Thanks Jim. :^) ) - the poor turnout for Dole against Clinton's second term "because it was his turn', even though he was too old and too stodgy? Silly buggers haven't learned squat.
