Sadly this country is a cowering lot who want to be assured that government will take care of them when they falter. They are pro-freebies, jealous of the successful, averse to responsibility and amoral. The country is lost because it’s so easy to be a democrat.
The Romney campaign needs to adapt to day to day events.
The new Democrat/Media narrative focuses on Bill Clinton. It goes like this........
“Y’all love Bill Clinton, right? Well Clinton said Obama has done the best he could with the mess he inherited. He said that even HE couldn’t have done a better job in 4 years. So c’mon, we MUST give the Black man the benefit of the doubt. WE MUST. WE MUST, WE MUST”.
Romney could easily turn this around and use Clinton as a weapon against Obama by saying this......
“Obama ran as a Clinton-esque Centrist in 2008. Well the American people wanted Obama to focus all his energy on fixing the economy. But there was one problem with that: the Democrats had a rare political opportunity to nationalize our health care system, since they controlled all 3 branches of government, with a super majority in the Senate. The American people said ‘fix the economy first, then worry about health care’. A Centrist would have listened to the will of the people. When Bill Clinton tried to pass a health care bill the economy was in much better shape in the early 90s than it was when Obama took office. But the American people still didn’t like his health care bill. So what did Bill Clinton do? He listened to the American people and scrapped his health care bill. And if Bill Clinton had been elected in 2008, he would have listened to the American people then too. Obama chose his Liberal ideology over listening to the American people in a time of economic crisis. He’s no Bill Clinton, and he’s no Centrist. And if Bill Clinton tries to tell you otherwise, just remember that for all his positives, Bill Clinton sometimes has a problem with telling the truth”.
Seems pretty simple to me. Yet I have the sinking feeling that it would never occur to a whole room full of so called political experts working for Romney to come up with a response like this.
A lot of people will say that they are voting for Obama for the simple fact that they don’t want to be seen as being racist. When they reach the voting booth, however, they will vote Republican.
Because both major candidates are utterly horrible?
Other than that I can’t think of a thing.
I’d run an ad with an unhappy looking black woman sitting in government housing eating mac and cheese and watching ELLEN......no car....no job.....no future......here’s what the Democrats think is good enough for you. Then, the set breaks apart to show a nice home....a nice car.....meals at a nice restaurant.....a fulfilling private sector job with a future.....this is what the Republicans want you to have.....see the difference.
Anyone is better than the Anti-American in the WH house right now though.
Its like a choice between Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
This election is NOT going to be close. Barring some fiasco in the debates, that I do NOT expect.. Obama is going to lose... by a pretty large margin, in the electoral college.
Telephone polling has become unreliable, even when it’s done well. Most marketing firms report that LESS than 15% of people called agree to participate... and, who do you think these people are? Folks that are a) not so bright, and b) not so busy.
They simply are no longer representative.
The economy sucks... people are hurting.. and, when they are, they Vote for CHANGE! Last time, that helped Obama... this time, it curses him.
I don’t understand the logic behind the argument that “people tell pollsters that they like Obama because they don’t want to be thought of as racist”. Why would someone care what a stranger over the phone thinks about them? Is the pollster going to call up their neighbors and say “guess what, that guy living down the block from you in the green house doesn’t like Obama, he may be a racist”?
If a pollster called me, I’d have no problem being as sarcastic as possible and saying “I’m voting for the White guy, White Power, yeah!” Maybe I’m just a lot more nervy than most people. But it still seems far fetched to me that someone would care about what a pollster, who is getting paid to do a boring job and call people all day, would think of them.

Can’t fault that statement.
If you separate "black" from "welfare," I think you'll find that entitlement voters (aside from the elderly) don't vote in large numbers. Union workers are not technically "entitlements" any more than soldiers are, so you can't include them.

If America only knew.....
(And if somebody doesn’t REALLY expose the Marxist/Muslim sob to the American people, we will lose again.)

2012 is an important year to remember 9/11 because our younger generations are the most in danger of forgetting what really happened.
Or worse, our younger generations are susceptible to getting a politically correct view of 9/11. Many on the Left have tried to turn 9/11 into a “day of national service” or a celebration of tolerance, instead of remembering that radical jihad attacked this nation because of our western values.
Watch this moving tribute to the heroes of 9/11

Newt would be so demonized that if St. Francis of Assisi was his VP, he'd still lose by 400 EVs. And yes, Sarah Palin would have been crushed. She'd get all 40% of the GOP vote and not one single vote over that.
The fact is, Romney is the only one who had a true national presence, who didn't come off as either incompetent, sexually weird, or repellant. Santorum, whom I would have voted for if not Newt, was viewed by the vast majority of people I've talked to who were "independents" or even "soft Republicans" as totally sanctimonious. So let's understand that Rush's dictum that conservatism USUALLY wins when it's effectively presented is NOT 100% certain. A slew of conservative senators got booted out in 06 in favor of a bunch of total leftists, and we still haven't gotten the senate back (if just three or four---Mike DeWine, Jim Talent, Norm Coleman, and George Allen---had held onto their seats, we damn sure wouldn't have Obamacare now and we damn sure would have a budget.)
A reasonably conservative set of positions is the necessary basis for victory, but it isn't sufficient. You need money, looks, communication skills, money, good organization, money, a certain amount of ruthlessness, and, oh, did I say, money?
I don’t really care about any of that.
People just don’t like the guy and there’s just no way to rationalize around that.
Because at the very last poll, they actually try to do a seriously poll since no on remembers anything but the pre election day poll
Excellent post, Larry. And might I add to looks, a beautiful wife and handsome family. :)
Thanks for proving my point.
and yet..we have freepers who will do just the oppisite...
now if that is happening among a typically conservative, patriotic group, is it any wonder why the drones in society would vote for the lunatic dictator?....
like Rush says, we could survive another 4 yrs of bammey, but can we survive those who re elect him?....no, we can not..
