Will Bin Laden's Death Affect the 2012 Republican Primary?
Elephant Watcher ^ | May 1, 2011

Posted on 05/01/2011 8:54:01 PM PDT by Triton42

"The United States has finally eliminated its hated enemy, Osama bin Laden. How will this affect the race for the Republican nomination? While the news will dominate the headlines for awhile, Bin Laden's death is unlikely to make a difference in the kind of candidate the Republican primary voters select...."

I think this should put a kibosh on the birth certificate issue.

Who's more American than the president that directed the killing of Osama?

I know, I know. He's supposedly a commie homo islamofascist. But he is also the one that directed the killing of a known islamofascist.

I'm willing to bet that he would have preferred to capture and try Bin Laden, and that his advisors talked him out of it.

If someone posted it on the 'net, it's gotta be true!

It'll effect Obama's reelection. You know they're counting on it.

nobama, of course, will milk this for all it’s worth to attract centrist u.s. voters.

It's the 2012 democrat campaign in full gear. It's great Bin Laden is dead, but there are thousands more cockroaches to replace him and his hatred toward America and all infidels in the world. Many, no doubt, hanging out in Pakistan.

I had to remind a gloating democrat tonight about the six American patriots who died this week without bullets to protect themselves courtesy Obama's Rules of Engagement.

RINOs and the media will lay themselves at his feet and kiss his ring. We've come to expect it from them.

Exactly. Don’t forget that in 1991 Bush 41 had an approval rating of 91% plus for kicking Saddam out of Kuwait. No major Dem candidate would run against him.

Then came Clinton and the whining about the “economy” that wasn’t as NEAR as bad as it is today. Remember the big economic fight during Bush 41? Cable bills. The Dems were sucessful, because Bush was a pussy, in creating a major uproar over rising CABLE cost! Talk about the straw man covered in red herrings.

Then, “it’s the economy stupid” took off and Clinton wins (with Perot’s help).

The economy IS bad. Regardless, he is still in big trouble for re-election.

His reelection will have absolutely NOTHING to do with UBL. He simply said OK. He also has destroyed the economy and Gas is still $4 Gal + and Unemployment is still close to 20%.

He is still toast. George HW Bush ran a flawless millitary operation, the most successful war in U.S. history and was defeated by a drug abusing Horndog less than 2 years later.

The impotent rooster had the gall to go on TV crowing and trying to take credit for what our military did. I became instantly sick to my stomach at the pathetic spectacle. I immediately turned off the TV.

God Bless Our Troops!

I caught this on a local station and checked here. I NEVER will listen to that idiot talk or McLame either. I will read about it on the net first. I would not care if he came on to announce that we won WWII and had killed Hitler and Tojo, I would not have listened to him. I nearly puke just watching that fool do his pimp walk around the White House. He makes me sick to my stomach. I absolutely could not stand Slick Willie and the Beast. But this guy took me to new heights. My faith in Jesus Christ tells me I HAVE to love my enemies. This is one thing I struggle with each and every minute of the day. I pray to God for forgiveness for not being able to love this guy, because I simply get sick trying to do it. I pray for his soul because he is a lost individual and needs to find the Lord. I do not believe he is a Christian as he states, because NO CHRISTIAN would approve of abortion nor homosexuals, and O-scum-ma Obama does both. My Bible says that abortion is an abomination to the Lord, and that is the “biggest” condemning word that I can find in the Bible.

I think Bin Laden has been dust since December 2003.

Interesting, that Ovomit said he gave the order Friday, and MSM said Bin Laden was killed a week ago?

As far as Ovomit winning in 2012, I doubt it!

0bama’s promises are worthless. His regime will at some point “accidentally” give up the names

TennTuxedo said: ““According to unnamed sources, the CIA demanded that Obama sign a non-disclosure agreement on the name of the team that went in. Obama did not want to sign it – General Patraeus insisted – Obama relented.”

Georgia Girl 2 - you replied: “Where did you hear that? Very strange for the Generals to be dictating to the President. Very strange indeed. Maybe the military is tiring of Barry.”

Was there a mini-coup in the WH. (See link below.)Look at the pres. in this photo n the situation room while they watch the raid. Does he look in charge? He's 6’+ - he's the CIC, but he looks like a little boy told to sit in the corner and watch. The look on his face is like someone defeated, someone who just got told where the bear does his doody.

Did the military and political heads decided they had to override the pres.? I suspicion they are fed up with this little narcissist and are beginning to realize the American people, even many blacks, have woken up and they stand to lose the election. I further suspicion they have information they could use against him to make him stand down - sit in the corner and shut up.

Further, he still has his golf outfit on. That would seem to signify that he may have only learned what was going down when he was brought into the situation room...to assure that he couldn't use his blackberry? (Would he dress like this for this event, knowing the photo would be seen world wide - wouldn't he dress and have a seat that would signify "I'm in command. I did this.")

I think the photo tells even more than the report. If it went down this way, why are they propping him up as the messiah who saved the world? - they'll do whatever they need to to keep power. the narcissist gets to strut, they get save the election - they hope.

I seriously do not know. They say Barry had to sleep on it for 16 hours before making the decision to go in. I can’t fault a President for that. Even him. The guy had been living there for 5 years so he wasn’t going anywhere. Its a hard decision to send special forces into another sovereign country and kill and extract a resident under their noses. This could seriously have gone wrong. I’m amazed it didn’t. Our SEALs are the greatest. So as much as I hate Barry Soetoro maybe he made one good decision in his life. Now they need to release a photo of a dead OBL and a video of the burial at sea as soon as possible.
