Want to beat Obama in 2012? Focus on the issues.

Posted on 03/05/2011 5:56:46 PM PST by Jaguarmike

Independent voters decide elections. And independent voters care more about where the candidate stands on the issues rather than the candidate's past. Polls show that people like Obama personally, but disagree with him on the majority of the issues. In other words, let's not make this election about whether or not Obama's an American citizen. Let's talk about his lousy record on spending, his refusal to secure the borders or catch illegal ailiens. Let's talk about his indecisiveness on the Mideast, while Egypt and Libya burn.

Let's talk about how our children will bear the cost of his runaway spending. Let's talk about the monstrosity of his health care bill. Let's talk about the fact that we need to resume drilling before gas prices go up to 10 dollars a gallon.

These are issues where we can connect with the American people - just like we did in November of last year.

In terms of policy and leadership, this the weakest president of my lifetime - weaker than Jimmy Carter, weaker than George H. Bush, who broke his promise not to raise taxes.

You want Obama out of office in January of 2013? Don't focus on what he did in college. Focus on what he did over the last four years.

Focus instead on finding a candidate who is NOT a RINO like McCain or Romney, or a populist in Conservative’s clothing like Huckleberry, nor a limp-wristed conservative like McDaniels...

Let's talk about his lousy record ...

...on any issue. His Presidency is one huge epic fail. He has not done one single thing right IMHO. There is not even one decision he could point to and I'd agree with him on. (at least that I'm aware of)

You're right, we can point to the past and his failures. What we can really hammer him on is that he hasn't learned from his mistakes. Heck, he doesn't even see them as mistakes. He thinks is policies are still the way to go. We just need to drive home to the American voter that all obama would give us is 4 more years of the same failures. Probably even worse and more radical since he would know he has nothing to lose.

I still don't think he's going to run though. Too many States are going to require absolute proof of eligibility. Born here or not, eligible or not, there is some thing (or things) in his past that he is working awfully hard to keep private. I don't think he'll run again knowing he'll have to expose whatever it is.

Huckabee made a big mistake by criticizing Natalie Portman’s child born out of wedlock. This is the kind of thing that turns independent voters off.

But where can we find someone like that?

I meant, where can we find someone like that who the media would adore,which rules out Palin, DeMint, and Bachmann?

Patriot ACT, Renditions on and on CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!! where is the accountability? I'll tell you AT the ballot Box in 2012!!!

I just don’t understand how people can like Obama personally. It must be because of media manipulation, because the guy is just completely unlikable! He is an arrogant, condescending, elitist, narcissitic, Marxist, race-baiting thug. Not to mention lazy and incompetent. What is there to like?

I don’t care if people TALK about whether he is an ineligible usurper who has committed crimes so he could be in a position to totally destroy this country and all our infrastructure... as long as they make sure that neither he nor anybody like him can ever do this again.

Talk is cheap; what I want is action. The rule of law matters.

Find a conservative that is willing to call him on it when he plays the “race card”.

Ditto for the butt sucking media. God Almighty could run against Obama and would be called a racist by the media.
