Polls are showing that Donald Duck (aka “generic republican”) would beat Obama badly at this point and Donald or Daffy Duck either one would be an overwhelming improvement.
The people who told us to wait four years may now tell us to wait another four years.......
....we can’t wait another four years, if we do it’s over.
JMHO - All of the GOP candidates are superior to Obama - but it will not matter. Obama and the Dems will allow the economys continued deterioration, forcing more blue-collar & middle-class workers to become dependent on unemployment benefits & even food stamps.
These are the voters who, out of fear and self-interest, will opt for continued government programs. Some of those people who, over their working years, have paid $millions in income tax will want some return on their investment even if its only a few thousand in unemployment benefits. Its their money and they will feel entitled.
On the razor edge of chaos - people choose the status quo as a safety zone. Voters might be reluctant to change horses in a raging river.
Obama doesnt care - if the economy improves - he gets bragging rights - if the economy worsens - he blames the GOP. His re-election will be based on ‘not letting a crisis go to waste’.
Next year’s election will probably be the most important in America’s history...America vs Karl Marx.
How is it that we have no clear front runner?
As a Tea Party type conservative, I do not think I have ever
seen such division in the Republicans, and no candidate that
comes close to being ideal.
I guess this is why I no longer live there.
It took me awhile to get to this statement...but I agree with it 100%.
Hear, hear!!
PS: I think the word "illegally" should have been placed before the word "filling" in the above statement....but that's just me.
Sadly the best idea man, Cain got put out of the race with inuendo by Dems? or insider Republicans?
This thing is completely assbackwards.
FIRST, you settle your issues: personell, borders, taxes, illegals, military, wars, etc...........
THEN, and only then, work on your candidate selection.
“On the razor edge of chaos - people choose the status quo as a safety zone.”
Not sure the electoral facts over the years support this statement.
Vote your heart in the primary.
A B O in the general.

My context was the widespread personal despair of the current recession. But because I want to be wrong - I’m glad you disagree;)
Carter’s defeat is the great example. (I confidently withdraw my opinion).
Thanks John - I’ll get a 2nd cup of coffee.

That’s great. You’re welcome.
Anyone but Obama.
Nothing has changed since the 2010 shellacking of Democrats except the sentiment “anyone but Obama” has increased in intensity and scope.
I admit that there are a lot of people on the government dole, but there were a lot on the dole in 2010.
The turnout factor should favor Republicans too in 2012. Even blacks are becoming a bit embarrassed by him, many simply will stay home.
Obama is compounding his problem by coming out as a socialist in recent speeches. It’s a political blunder of epic proportions.
Then there’s Gingrich.
The country’s in a foul mood. The media has spent two decades painting Gingrich as mean. Now, the way things are, we WANT somebody mean.

“The republican party is not a conservative party.”

I have to agree with that assessment.
Even more so, I understand how it has happened, and I have said it many times on FR...Marxist education, media, and
entertainment...call it MEME.
We have only a choice of Marxist or Marxist Lite.
Sadly, I see no hope for a recovery.
