April 28, 201016 yr We will be back and things won't go so nice for the liberals the next time. Generally from a historical perspective I would be concerned for your folks as the next leader of the other side will use your ways and means to get elected and then turn things completely upside down. (Beware!) I am much more middle of the road than you think, but can guage the sentiment of the country and I am telling you that your group is in for a rude awakening. Obama is trying to pin everything on Wall Street, and all the lower and middle class want are those jobs he promised. He has created ill will among the group that creates jobs, and they will not help him, as he has used them as his whipping boy one too many times. A few questions; Who is "we"? Who are "your folks"? Do you consider yourself middle or lower class? I am just stating facts that white males are a sliding demographic and even Michael Steele the other day said that the republican party has done nothing to deserve a single vote from any minority. How are "we" as you say going to be back on top if they are an exlusionary party still employing a southern strategy?
April 28, 201016 yr If GW can be reelected in 2004 when by all means he should have been voted out, Obama will be reelected in 2012. Next best chance for Republicans to regain the White House is 2016. Focus for Republicans should be regaining control of Congress. Barring the unemployment number not falling or the economy not picking up, I think your're right. Even if those two don't improve the Republican's still would have to come up with a decent candidate. Odds are against that trifecta.

Wall Street does not create jobs, except for people like Fabulous Fab. You are wrong on the sentiment of the country. When it comes time to vote in 2012 LBBC is correct. Obama will win and the republicans will have control of congress.

How are "we" as you say going to be back on top if they are an exlusionary party still employing a southern strategy? To win an election you don't need to "cater" to the minority. That is a sign of the weak. If during the next election the minorities feel that Obama has done all he has promised, then they should vote for him again. Michael Steele is a minority (by race), and he is part of the problem inside the Republican Party. He is intellectually dishonest. As I have said before, I think you misread some of my thoughts. I will attempt to articulate them better. As a country, we cannot spend more than we take in, as it will result in disaster. As a country, we cannot have a large, and growing number of folks not paying much if any at all in taxes and call things even. As a country, to have an unemployment rate over 10% is not feasible. Our country was founded upon the fundamentals of capitalism, and in capitalism there are winners and losers-just like sports since we are on BGP, and the good old USA cannot make everything even and give all a participation patch just because they were born here. Show up for work and school, and provide a necessary service, and you will be paid according to the free market system. If it is not enough to support you and your family, then choose a different career, not vote folks into office that make you false promises that they cannot possibly deliver upon.

Reminds me of my early BGP days when RM and I began to agree on issues. :D:D:D:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::p:p:p

April 28, 201016 yr If the economy isn't much better than now, Obama will not win. I disagree for the simple fact that the people that vote Obama into power are the ones that are so eager to believe that everything is George Bush's fault. They will continue to spew that party line and the voters that drunk of the Kool-aid the first time will do so a 2nd time. Voting for Obama for some is more about being part of history rather than any economic issue.

On the first bold all I can say is WOW. Second bold - we have done so since the founding Third - everyone pays taxes, some do not pay INCOME TAXES - and many of those are retired people who don't have an income. Remember we are living in the retirement years of the baby boomers. Fourth, I have looked and looked in the Constitution and Madison's Notes and the Declaration and I have not found capitalism in there anywhere.

Fourth, I have looked and looked in the Constitution and Madison's Notes and the Declaration and I have not found capitalism in there anywhere. He did not say anything about any of those documents. He referred to the fact that was the business system the colonists lived under and wanted to see capitalism protected. While the Constitution does not say "capitalism", it was set up to protect business and capitalism was the system they wanted protected. The Constitution does not mention any system of business, yet, once again the business system they used was capitalism and it has created the richest nation the world has ever seen. In fact this system has given wealth to more people than any other system. I wish some would quit trying to destroy what has given us all a better standard of living than anywhere, at any time in world history. Maybe those who want us to be like China, Vietnam, Cuba or even western Europe should consider moving there temporarily and giving it try.

Acemona-what is the WOW about that I can knock someone in charge of the RNC? Capitalism is the policy which has made the USA the best. Why are we so insistent on dropping down to the depths of other nations? Who will bail us out, and come to our aid in a time of need as we have helped so many countries in the past, including Haiti just in the last 12 months?
April 29, 201016 yr If the economy isn't much better than now, Obama will not win. Be careful with your assumptions. Those who feed at the teat of the government swine need not worry about the state of the economy because the check arrives in the mail no matter what.
April 29, 201016 yr Has there ever been a time that the President has been so blatant in playing the race card since slavery or before? This is dumbfounding to me that he would choose the route. His buffoonery is only surpassed by the buffoons who aren't blown away by his obvious lack of grace and professionalism.
