The expert opinions on who will win the election on November 6 and become our next President vary widely. Some believe Mitt Romney has the momentum and will win going away. Other opinions are not so favorable and believe Barack Obama will win. I wish I could answer the question, but my crystal ball is fogged up and I can't tell which direction our country will be taking after next Tuesday. But if Obama does win a second term, who will we have to thank for that blessing? Personally, I have someone in mind and they have promised to be back to rub our faces in it after the election.
Those of you who have read Political Realities know I have no problem publishing comments who dissent from my opinion.I enjoy a good discussion and debate, especially when both sides are respectful in their disagreements. On that note, I received a comment on last Friday's post that I wanted to share with you. I approved it and you can see my direct reply to the commenter at the link. Please note the user name the commenter used to make his/her comment; non racist - for a change.
ok so I am just browsing these one sided hypocritical bunch of lies while wondering how I could be living in a nation so divided by lies. I am not sure if some of you sniffed too much glue as a child or your parents where too misled by a west Virginian or east Appalachian group of infested farmers…. either way I will be back in 10 days to rub the fact that we will have a re-elect of the same president and this phony jerk that says one thing while doing another scurries back into the crevice of slimy millionaires where he belongs. I feel sorry for the one sided losers that monopolize their time reading garbage like this and then allowing their emotions to run rampant. Country was founded and runs better bottom up -not top down. Execs have too much power and need to be stripped of their corrupt lies – Romney is just another Wall Street thief.As you can see by reading the comment, it didn't take non racist long to get into the personal insults to anyone who is supporting Mitt Romney. Beyond that, he/she is merely repeating the talking points of the Obama campaign. In other words, class warfare, the rich are evil, etc. He also made sure everyone knows what they read on Political Realities is pure garbage and a waste of the time it takes to read it.
I am past getting upset when I receive a comment like this. Obviously, I will never agree with the sentiment declared by non racist. Having said that, I do take exception to the implication that anyone not supporting Barack Obama is a racist. As I told him/her in my direct reply, my disagreements with our current President have nothing to do with the color of his skin and everything to do with his policies and his lack of leadership.
Until recently, this election has been about the economy. Even though that is still the overwhelming concern for many, if not most, Americans, foreign policy has entered into the equation. Every day, it seems we are learning more and more of how the Obama administration failed, in regards to Libya and the attacks that took the lives of four Americans. The information we now have tells us Barack Obama knew the attack was taking place and from the beginning, knew it had nothing to do with the video that took so much of the blame, early on. We know Obama and his administration has been lying about what they knew and when they knew it, and that they are in the process of trying to bury that information. That means we may very well reelect a President that has been lying to us for several weeks. If he will lie about what happened in Libya, what else has he been less than truthful on?
I often wonder if there is hope left for America. In my way of thinking, recent events should automatically disqualify Obama from winning a second term. How anyone could trust him enough to cast another vote for him is beyond my comprehension. If Obama wins a second term, what little hope we have left will be gone. The America we love and hold dear may very well not recover from another four years of Barack Obama in the White House. For that, we will have people like non racist to thank. You'll have to forgive me if I sound less than thankful for their gift of reelecting a man who can not be trusted to serve another four years in the highest office in our country. If that happens, this will no longer be the America I grew up in. Thanks, non racist!
Uh, I recall quite a few landslides in U.S Presidential Elections, most recently 1996, where Clinton won by 16m votes. Reagan has similar popular vote in ‘84 along with electoral landslide to go with it. It’s ludicrous to say every election since 1791 has been nip and tuck.
I’d say the author might be interested in seeing Romney supporters get into an early shouting match with ABO’s.
I don’t know the author, but I do know dissension in the ranks would injure the effort to defeat Obama.
“Surely, my fellow Americans understand that they have only ONE chance to remove a communist cabal from power peacefully. That chance is November 6, 2012… Who can afford to focus on anything else?
No true Patriot will be sitting out the election at home this time. No decent American will sit on the sidelines in some futile 3rd party fantasy or protest. There is simply too much at stake.
We currently have a known enemy of our nation residing in the people’s White House. The people didn’t have the good sense to stop it in 2008. The courts didn’t have the courage to stop it or rectify the disaster after the 2008 election. Congress hasn’t had the backbone to correct the fraud and hold all accountable, even after the 2010 cycle that swept so-called Tea Party candidates into political power. Not even state governments have the honor and courage to block a known fraud from appearing on the ballot again in 2012.
That means that righting the greatest wrong ever perpetrated in American politics is left to the American people alone. They will get ONE CHANCE to end this charade, peacefully, on November 6th. If they fail to end it peacefully, they will be left with only a Second Amendment solution. There is no other solution at that point.
When did communism become an American Dream for some? A long time ago… When the American people allowed it.
When did the communist dream become acceptable to the rest of America? Only YOU can answer this one, on November 6th, 2012.
No American can afford to sit this one out or play childish games with fantasy candidates. — Removing this criminal communist cabal from power is the ONLY relevant issue of the 2012 election. Only a traitor, a coward or a fool would tell you any different!”

Sadly, the same group of people who put him there in the first place: My fellow-Catholics, I daresay in name only because they ignore the church’s teachings on the sanctity of life, procreation, and the institution of marriage.
“I often wonder if there is hope left for America.”
In the end? No.
In the Beginning God stacked the deck against Good in this world. He expects us to carry the fight to the enemy in His name none the less until we die or He returns. Where we are in the vast timeline only God knows. So... carry on...
I spend a LOT of time on Facebook. What am I doing? blogging about my dinner or my kids? Nope. Sending out articles that the MSM is ignoring. Close friends think I've gone off the deep end into crazy land because I am obsessive.
They obviously don't understand the implications of what is happening to us as a country...at our very core. They don't get the implications of $100 trillion in debt and unfunded liabilities. They don't know what's coming.
They are happy to remain blissfully ignorant...and don't like anyone pulling them back into reality.
If O wins...it will be because MSM didn't come close to doing their job. If he loses...it won't be any thanks to them...but places like FR and FB...where people tell others about what's really going on. I challenge ALL here to get on Facebook...and use it as a tool to counter lies. I recently had my 25 year reunion and had soooo many people come up and say thanks. They would have never known what was really happening if I hadn't been posting about it. Of course...I've ticked off a few of my liberal friends in the process...but I am almost to the point where I cannot associate with anyone that is so blind as to vote for the dem party.
I would say Conservatives, Christians, or legal gun owners who either stay home or vote third party. I heard Glenn Beck say that in 2008 in Ohio if the number of Christians that did not vote had voted for Mc Cain,that would have more than offset the number of votes obama won Ohio by.Factor that in every State that obama won and that would have given Mc Cain the win. But they did not and obama won. Will 2012 have the same result? Will will know by November 7, 2012.
Quite simply, The Republican Party. They did not keep to the “Its the Economy, Stupid” and economic agenda. Fiscal policy should have been the only message. It was the winning strategy.
But, the Republicans did not keep the party in line, and allowed the social conservatives to try and jump on the coattails of a fiscal win to promote their agenda. The gaffes by Akin, Limbaugh and the other idiot who uttered “A child conceived by rape is a gift from God” (paraphrased) took the message away from fiscal policy. And it hurt the overall efforts. It should not even be close.
There you go calling people names again. Are you sure you aren’t really a Democrat? You sure argue like one.
http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php?year=1992 ~ this one? Or did you mean this one http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php?year=1996? He failed to achieve a popular vote majority in either race.
Oh. Well then that does make your point. Clinton “only” had 8m votes more than Bush. That IS nip and tuck. /sarc.
Also was electoral landslide. So please again, explain your comment that every U.S. presidential campaign since 1871 was to the wire.
That's a 40% drop off in votes election to election. The Republicans got 59 million in 2008, yet they dropped off to 44 million in 2010.
There's quite a bit of variability in voting levels ~ little of it is due to swing voters ~ it's mostly due to a party's own core voters showing up, or not showing up.
As a consequence of this sort of variability it can be a politically fatal mistake for a particular politician to alienate any large segment of his own party while he moves up. This is a fairly easy thing to do if you forget that the party is made up of coalition members who actually have differences with you. Frequently those differences can be moderated through open contests in primaries ~ and if they're not, they don't go away like they might in a basketball tournament or the World Series.
Republicans found themselves spending MILLIONS on their general election campaigning in Virginia that would not have had to have been spent had an complete and open primary been held. That error may well bankrupt the party before this campaign is finished.
Your challenge was to NIP and TUCK, not TO THE WIRE
I'd say you've been SKUNKED
“So all the Republicans who spent month after month bad mouthing Romney, even after he had the primaries wrapped up, are now blame free?”
Yep. He is all yours.
But face it, Romney and all his warts is all your'en!
If Mitt doesn’t win the only ones we have to blame are ourselves. We didn't persuade enough people - both those who stayed home and those who voted for others - to vote for conservative principles. It's not about voting for (or against) a person.
