Would that not be “appropriate”?

Well, I have confidence that he can manage to do so (lose the Election). It was tough for McCain too, but he managed to pull it off.

Hmmmmm........ Have to disagree. 2008 was nothing like this Election years. In 2008, the country had Bush/Republican fatigue, Obama was Black, charismatic, youthy, and offered a lot of promises that he never intended to keep. He mesmerized the Nation. Even Hillary Clinton could not defeat him. It was definitely NOT McCain’s to lose. It was his to win from the git-go. An almost impossible task. They could have had a video of Obama in bed with a dead girl or a live boy and he’d still have won. So, your premise is wrong; sorry.

2008 was a completely different situation. BHO was an unknown quantity- in fact, people projected what they wanted to see in him. Those of us who saw him for what he was were ignored.
Now we have had 3 1/2 years of disaster. I can't imagine anyone but hard core union members voting for him. The Supreme Court ruling today didn't help them at all either.
No- the Emperor is wearing no clothes and everyone knows it but him.
ps- on McCain- he ran an absurd and lame campaign. I personally do not think he would have been a very good President. He would have “crossed the aisle” as he is so fond of saying, repeatedly and we would all be calling for his head right now. Plus, the country would not be much better off but we would be to blame instead of BHO. (and we wouldn't have the House...)

“The dog ate my homework” excuses?.....more likely, “I ate the dog that ate my homework.”

OUCH!



Where there's a shell, there's a way.

25 years ago, we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope.
Today we have Obama, no cash, and no hope!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings.

How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).

Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

I agree with this. Would be brilliant and effective. Romney has been saying things about the amnesty move that paint it very candidly as the shameful pander it is. I just hope he keeps it up. Romney may be a bit boring but, you have to admit, he’s very steady and doesn’t make many mistakes.

He just needs to pick a decent running mate.

I hope you’re right. Perhaps I’m not yet very confident because I’m in L.A. these days and continue to be amazed on a daily basis to see the extent of the loyality toward the Dem party, and toward Obama himself.

Who would you suggest? I like Marco Rubio of Florida, Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Rob Portman of Ohio and Susan Martinez Gov. of New Mexico. I’d be happy with any of these. Although I think Paul Ryan’s youth and youthy looks would be against him.

I personally think he has lost his mind to pick anybody other than Rubio. Rubio is articulate and conservative. Rubio will deliver Florida and split the Hispanic vote which would help in NV and CO. It will almost assuredly lock up the Presidency for 16 years as Romney should find himself (whether deserved or not) on Mt. Rushmore for just standing aside and allowing the American Machine to blaze anew. Just removing the current traitor will do wonders for the economy and confidence.

I agree with you about Ryan. Martinez, Portman, and Pawlenty are good people and probably great choices, but...I just don’t feel it.

We’re on the same page. Rubio is my choice. You might notice I listed him first in my list. I agree with your reasons as well. I’m 90% sure Romney is going to pick him. He’d be crazy not to do so.

Actually, it seems to be a very good idea! It could work, if he did it like you describe!

I don’t see how He’s doing the best He can to lose it so far. He’s actually doing better than I thought. Much better than McCain.

If every Romney non-fan decides to hold his/her nose and bump his numbers, the popular vote would be an anti-Zero referendum even if it doesn't sway the electoral college numbers.

If it doesn't matter, your strategic undervote/3rd-party vote target (i.e., the object of your greater derision) would be Romney, since he's the guy screwing up the party that can help you more if he's not in the picture.

In Texas, the State will easily go Romney, so our task is less to record an undervote for Romney and keep his numbers down, than to vote 3rd party, which will be noticed even faster. Our ultimate objective is for Romney to carry Texas (so he can't complain and bitch -- he's already been taking us for granted and laughing at us, no really, he has) by about 100 votes and a huge, giant stink about recounts, and simultaneously rack up about an 8-12% third-party vote. That will be noticed really fast.

Much better than McCain isn’t saying a lot.

Sorry, folks, but Rubio is almost certainly constitutionally ineligible, same as Obama and possibly Mitt Romney, too.

In fact, Romney, if he's ineligible, is the reason the RNC has rained death on the "Birfers" and told everyone who'll listen -- and the talk-radio hosts especially -- that anyone who brings up Obama's eligibility and documentation issues is radioactive and Banned from the Human Race.

They're protecting their Golden Boy, Mittens.

FUMR and FYNWO.

No, but it’s a start. And also, better than the opposite.

Not sure I'll do it, but at least it's worth considering.

Seems fairly likely, given your tagline.

So, I think Obama will have to look elsewhere for his war.

1. Find white and/or Christian group;
2. Compare to Hitler;
3. Bomb the crap out of them.
