"Obama and the Rats must be forgetting about the $500 BILLION they already gutted from Medicare."

Yep. If they want to open up that can of worms it won't be very pleasant for them...

"Carter"

I remember the same quotes from Dems about how they were ecstatic when Reagan was nominated.

He hopes to stick to marriage for pervs and freebies for sluts. Those are his winning issues and the media loves them.

And the American voters don't give a crap about either one of those two groups. In fact, most people wish they would just go away.

Yeah. I think we're going to do well in November.

“They don’t know the difference between the deficit and debt, etc. So we need two parallel efforts.”

I agree, but this doesn't seem so difficult to fix. People understand what a household budget is, and that you can have weekly, monthly, or even annual budgets for your household. They also understand that if you go over budget you run a deficit.

It just needs to be pointed out in straightforward terms that every minute, of every hour, of every day, of every week, for the entire year, for every year he's been in office, Obama has spent way more than the government had, and that he didn't even bother to make a budget to follow. It's pretty easy to make this case in a way that is compelling.

My gut tells me the left is terrified of this guy. He's a straight talker, and people understand him. He took Oboma out on Obomacare in 6 minutes!This guy is good.

Besides his message and intellect, he's a hunk with a pretty wife and adorable children. Barry is bummed indeed. :)

I have several kinfolk that are active duty. I can tell you how they feel about Obama and his administration. And if Zero was to attempt to impose some kind of martial law it’d be one hell of a party. Just wouldn’t last long...

Obama knows one way, and one way only to deal with problems. Throw money at them. When it comes to understanding the economy and how to get America back on track, Obama isn’t in Paul Ryan’s league, the big leagues.

You might underestimate how difficult it is. Many do not have a clue what a family budget is...including my wife.

To give another example, many are confused about what it means to be rich. They see celebrities flaunting bling and think that spending a lot of money as proof of wealth. They don’t see shares of stock as wealth. For example, they think Bill Gates is wealthy because he has a fancy house. They see the government spend money and think that
is proof that the government is rich and has no problems.

What people who think like us don’t realize is that when “normal” people hear class warfare rhetoric, they interpret “rich” totally different from what we do.

The education can be done. But it won’t be easy. And it won’t be done by those who don’t understand the non-ideological voter, which is the swing voter.

It’s easy pickin’s for Dims when you have a large section of the electorate that is economically ignorant and/or on the dole.

On behalf of Team Obama's Welcoming Committee, it's my privilege to present a laurel... and hearty handshake to Paul Ryan, another racist, right-wing, Teabagging, grandmaw tossing-over-the-cliff opponent of our Righteous Bros: Barack and Joe!

Major Garrett showed his Liberalism a LOT in the last few years. He IS a hack.

Yeah, you're right. I don't think it's because the concepts aren't straightforward. I think it's because, in part, we've been conditioned in our society to be lazy thinkers (no offense to your wife - who is obviously very bright).

I've had conversations with people about losing weight, and used the ‘balancing the checkbook’ analogy with them (spend more calories than you take in and you'll drain your fat account), and this concept comes as a surprise to them. It isn't that they can't understand. I don't have an answer.
