And who was allowed to vote in 1789? Yeah, sure, tell me Obama has already lost.
That’s an awful royal statement. Too many here project their own specialized worldview onto larger America. Larger America, in the meantime, is already polling a virtual tie with the incumbent and a Mitt who hasn’t even gotten the official GOP nod. Historical experience says this is extremely bad juju for the incumbent.
We’ll know in November, HTRN.
Go to this link and play with this interactive electoral map of the US.
If nothing else, it’s a good link to have. (If you don’t already have it.)
“Washington had won the respect and trust of all of colonial America.”
Washington and most all of colonial America were made up of honorable men who were self reliant. Obama and his entitlement voters(about half the nation) are anything but honorable and seek to destroy the values this country was founded upon.
My reading of the US Constitution, its founders' intent, and the many instances of each amendment stipulating that the Federal Government shall not.......et al, just reinforces my belief that the intent was to give STATES the power to decide their will, with many, many safeguards to them by capping and restraining the power of the Federal Government to infringe on the rights of states.
That said, if the blue blue state of Massachusetts wanted to hogtie their residents and cripple their futures, it is that state's right, provided they can pass muster through the USOC on review. It is not, however, Hussein's right to inflict that rights abortion on the rest of us without collective states rights' consent
I thought that was Supertramp from “Even In the Quietest Moments”.
The idea of Barack Obama prevailing, map or no, would require a larger masking perfume factory than any chemical plant owned by the Army. Barack STINKS and in a very crucial area that Mitt has a ready made case — the role of business in the economy. Barack was never a business man. It won’t be hard for Mitt to convince the great unwashed that as a business man, he knows. Most people now know that most jobs come from business.
I’ll stop here lest I be perceived as waxing poetic on Mitt’s behalf. Mitt is very troublesome and worrisome in many areas. He snuggles up to gays way too easily. But as a businessman, people will believe he knows business.
It’ll take many years to recover from the damage he and his minions have wreaked.
Understood; he’s hard to support.
But since 90+% of voters know which way they’re voting regardless of candidates, he need only sway less than 5% of voters ... or votes.
Remember, this is a guy who can, does, and will write very large checks with no concern about where the money is coming from. Anyone concerned about long-lasting egg will be handed a billion-dollar check to wipe it off with.
“And who was allowed to vote in 1789?”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I think that is the real elephant in the living room that so many ignore. Any 18 year old, even one who is still trying to make it through high school or has dropped out and is dependent on his parents to put food on his plate and furnish a bed for him to sleep on is allowed to vote! This is the height of absurdity.
Some fear that, while being willing to derail Obamacare per se, Mitt will try to get Congress to replace it with inducements for states to duplicate from their end what Massachusetts did. That sounds like a hard sell to me, because it would only be replacing one profligate spending package with another, but never say never.
I’m sure they won’t care if the bribe is big enough, but the egg is still visible to the public. You ruin your credibility by going in the tank for a loser who shoots himself in the foot at every chance.
That’s all.
That blade cuts both ways, at least in principle. Too much dependency can snuff out the hope of bettering your circumstances, but the smoke that Obama was blowing about a bright America that never came might help to keep that hope alive.
“Obama Has Already Lost”
Pipe dream.
He is not going to lose any Catholics, the so-called Independents will travel in left circles at the polls, and the ethnic groups who sniff at the hicks in flyover country will vote for The One in droves. (The Progressives are not a threat; it’s the members of the electorate who instantly become brilliant and superior when they think and vote Progressive.)
IMHO
I mean the rhetorical you (actually those who would be bought into boosting Obama).
Obama has 95% of blacks and at worst 70% of white women. That’s at least 42% of the total electorate locked up in his favor and campaign fear-mongering will keep it that way. Not including Dem voter fraud and intimidation, he just needs to win over 8-9% of the remainder—which includes other minorities, x-gens/millenials and homo/metrosexual white males. Seems like that’s enough right there.
Unmarried/divorced (the left made divorce easy on purpose) women vote overwhelmingly for the “daddy state”.
How does that demographic compare, in voting percentages, to the general under-21 crowd?
Historically, fence sitters have broken heavily for the challenger to the incumbent. The smallest caucus in the world are people who voted for McCain who now want to cast a ballot directly for Barack Obama.
Too many here are projecting their point of view upon larger America, which doggedly follows other political trends.
Thank you Gaffer, for pointing that out. Mitt had every right as a STATE Governor to pass such BS, so Obama can sure try to say “same thing” but it isn’t. Mitt can say “mine was Constitutional, yours isn’t.” That argument disappears.
I want to give my LAST CHOICE CANDIDATE Mitt one more accolade, but without my pompoms. We always complain we cannot get anyone to fight on our side, to really shove it. Newt was bringing it, but didn’t get there. Mitt has shown a hunger for the fight. If we can shove him to the right (assuming, of course he gains the nomination), he can de-pants Obama and even provide a sliver of coat tail, IF he’ll pick someone staunchly conservative as a Veep.
Please don’t ban me, Jim!
