Obama May Be the End of the Line for the US.

[xzins]

The GOP base sees government as a burden that weighs the private sector down rather than a tool that can generate growth if used properly. Ninety-six percent of Republican voters believe that the best thing the government can do to help the economy is to cut spending and free up more money for the private sector.

Corporate welfare is nothing more than 1940's state socialism in the emperor's new clothing

[Psalm 144]

It is a winner takes all bet, IMO.

Though the establishment has dominated the party since Reagan left the White House, the 2012 election could well be the end of the line.

This will be the end of the line for the GOP-E, should Romney fail to beat the snot out of the Marxist.

[AlmaKing]

If Romney loses, he will be the most hated man among conservative voters.

[MNJohnnie]

Odd how Rass response here is in lock step with the GOP Establishment reaction.

Seems Scott has met the enemy and it is him.

“Someone new, from outside of Washington, will be the party’s nominee in 2016.”

This assumes there will BE an election in 2016 if Obama wins. I don’t believe this is a safe assumption.

[cripplecreek]

Both Romney and Obama highlighted the condescending attitude that political elites hold of the people they want to rule over.

Its a true contrast with Reagan and as much as it pains me to say so, its also a contrast with Bill Clinton.

[GeronL]

If Romney loses, we might not see 2016

[MNJohnnie]

Ok compare and contrast reactions. Bill Kristol, Scott Rassmussen and the in side DC Romney critics are all upset about how “insensitive” and “out of touch” Romney is.

Rush Limbaugh, Hannity and just about everyone outside the DC beltway in the Conservative movement are “About time someone spoke the truth about this”.

[Evil Slayer]

If Romney loses in November, the Republican base will no longer buy the electability argument for an establishment candidate. From the view of the base, the elites will have given away an eminently winnable election. Someone new, from outside of Washington, will be the party's nominee in 2016.

I recommend everyone seeing the documentary at your local theater "2016: Obama's America". Think about it as you leave the theater at the end of the show. Do you really think we will even have a country after another 4 years of the tin horn dictator? Even if we got rid of all the RINOS and GOPe types, the ending of that show will sink in. We are at the tipping point right now. The greatest battle for stopping tyranny is getting rid of the occupier that calls himself "king". And we all know what had to happen to stop that back in 1776.

“Someone new, from outside of Washington, will be the party’s nominee in 2016”

I might argue there won’t BE a party (GOP).

[thingumbob]

Don't see anything wrong with these comments...seems to be spot on ....

Ras is right....if Romney doesn't win Washington Establishment Republicans...aka RINO's are toast....they still might be even if they win due to rise of the Tea Party's growing influence.

[Marcella]

Romney will stick with the GOP elites - that’s all he knows.

I don’t think the GOP will change if Romney loses - they didn’t change after McCain or after Dole, etc.

[swpa_mom]

ahh, ok, I understand now.

The candidate so many conservatives refused to lift a finger to help, the candidate so many conservatives not only refused to vote for but worked to convince others to not vote for him, the same candidate so many conservatives claim is the same as the marxist Obama......should he lose, those same conservatives will be upset.

Gotcha.

[treetopsandroofs]

The Great Clinton’s Telecommunications Act of 1996 was at least as damaging to America as the 17th Amendment.

He solidified Big Media as America’s enemy, to be counted on to say in unison whatever Democrats (Big Media’s Big Love) want to be said.

Just about all Democrats and not a few Republicans congratulate themselves for not being willing to call Big Media a liar, especially when it’s not obviously directly related to THE current presidential political race.

[ncalburt]

It figured your peddling this rubbish !

Another divide and conquer and it’s over post from YOU !
Who do you work for ????

Ras is a DC insider moron and his polls are now worthless
After this pathetic hit piece was cooked up to help
Scotty win favor with the Obama media !

Now I know his POlls mysterious switched from
+1 R to +1 Dem last month !

[RitchieAprile]

makes sense to me. the man in the street doesn’t have to
deal with the special pleaders and lobbyists shilling for
their pet causes.

[EternalVigilance]

If he wins the White House, the only way for Romney to succeed will be to side with the nation's voters and throw out the club in Washington. That will be great news for the country but bad news for political insiders on both sides of the partisan aisle.

As if. Hah.

[glorgau]

Palin.
