Thank you. Nice!
All of the serious candidates are listed. I don't get your beef.
They’re already running anti-Romney ads. They even recruited LOLCats for a new one. Just watch this site, they have new stuff almost every day.
Mitt or Obama will bring the same result at some point...
:)
I will do a B/W and Yes/No .. then link it to you ;)
If not, it's a distinction without a difference.
BTTT
If Obama could pull a switch and become the next Hitler that easily...WHY in the world would he risk running for reelection now? Why not pull the "evil dictator" switch this year to ensure he can't be voted out? And what would stop him from doing that if Romney wins while he's a lame duck if it's that easy? Yes we all hate Obama and know his policies will cause harm to the country. But it's not that easy to become a dictator of the U.S.A. or probably even possible.
We got Samuel Alito after congressional Republicans told Bush "hell no!" on Harriet Miers.
There's always hope.
The people that should be worrying are the GOPe for doing this, Patriots have been rock solid in their opposition to voting for Romney, not only because he sucks, but he can't win.
Put the pressure on where it belongs GOPe.
We will not waste our limited resources on FR in support for a liberal progressive LIAR
Yup, I agree all our effort should go to the Congressional races and we should sit out the presidency. It’s just sadly ironic that we now agree with exactly where George Will was a month ago.
I think much of the argument can be summed up as:
One side thinks the other underestimates how bad Romney will be, and one side thinks the other underestimates how bad Obama will be.
