I will vote for any scallywag, joker or clown rather than do another four dismal years of this.

This is something that many on the right cannot seem to comprehend. Do I agree with everything Obama has done so far? No. But I don't expect to agree 100% with anyone. Is he still a better choice than anyone coming out of the clown car on the right? Hell, yes. Thinking that because Democrats haven't gotten everything they want means they're going to suddenly defect to the other side is merely wishful thinking on the part of the right.

Since Ron Paul will not get the Republican nomination, that can hardly matter.

Paul could very well run as a third party candidate.

I do not know ONE Independent or Demo that has said they would vote for any of the GOP Wannabes, I have asked, so maybe there will be a few across the Nation, just as there will be some Repubs that will do the same the other way around. If you actually believe the title of this thread you need to backoff the propaganda sites for a while, it is clouding your objectivity.
Obama Motivates Supporters, Opponents in Early 2012 Matchups | Pew Research Center for the People and the Press

"Fully 54% of independent voters say that in an Obama-Romney matchup they would vote for Romney or lean toward Romney. Fewer independents (41%) say they would vote for Obama"

Sounds like you don't know many independents.

I don't think you have people switching over to vote for a Republican Clown; however, they just may not vote at all.

However, the article is simply false as to Obama loosing his base. His base has not left. The only issue will be with independents and if the Republicans put up a loser candidate, which is the case at this point.
So it is wrong to vote for a republican clown, but it is right to vote for a democrat clown (Obama)? Hey, if you don't feel the republican candidates are good, then that is fine. But Obama is doing horrible as well, so you should not vote for him either. Believe it or not, Obama deserves blame for this mess as well.

A Pew report a YEAR in advance and you want to base your prediction on that, yeah sure, go for it.

You said you did not know any independents who would vote for the republican candidate. I posted a recent survey showing you that many more independents would vote for the republican than they would for Obama. What else do you want?

I don't have a crystal ball for one year from now. Neither do you. For the record, I think Obama will win. It's too hard to beat an incumbent POTUS, especially one that the LSM pimps. That and the democrat party is far superior at fear mongering and offering up freebies to people. People like getting free stuff and will vote for people who will give it to them.
