As long as he won't veto legislation passed by a Tea Party controlled Congress, he'll be okay.

Romney is just basically the default vote for those that hate Obama.
Romney brings nothing credible to the table other than some years of experience working for an outfit called Bain Capital,what they do or what role he played in the company are not disclosed along with his last 10yrs of income tax returns,and obviously just how much does he have stashed away in off shore accounts a practice that may be legal but as a potential POTUS not very ethical,
what does the guy stand for? who knows it changes by the week.
His hypocrisy moves to astounding levels when he slams the Presidents Healthcare program a program very similar to the one he instituted when he was governor of Mass.
Even if i were a republican i'd pass on this political poser and hope my party came up with something more competent in 2016.

Is this little rant representative of rightwing thinking?
labeing all Democrats as freaks and nutcases and a call for putting them all on boats and or shipping them to other countries?Looking back over history a few individuals come to mind when talking about eliminating an entire demographic.
Hey Bubba when using your terminology to describe more than half of voting Americans maybe a look in the mirror will show you who should really be on that boat.

I look forward to four more years of pictures and memes on the internet depicting "Obambo/Obamao/Ogobogo/whatever" as a "fascist/socialist/marxist/terrorist sympathizer" while the retarded radical right makes the entire GOP look like a bunch of complete idiots, hopefully to the point that some of the knuckle dragging mouth breathers wake up and quit getting all their news from Faux News and Rush Limbaugh.

Back in Feb., Krugman made an interesting assessment on why American conservatism has “jumped the shark”, although now am kinda curious what direction all that takes if/when Obama’s re-elected.

"For decades the G.O.P. has won elections by appealing to social and racial divisions, only to turn after each victory to deregulation and tax cuts for the wealthy — a process that reached its epitome when George W. Bush won re-election by posing as America’s defender against gay married terrorists, then announced that he had a mandate to privatize Social Security.

Over time, however, this strategy created a base that really believed in all the hokum — and now the party elite has lost control."

'Roe v. Wade has gone too far.'
'I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years we should sustain and support it.'

'It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam.'
'I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and be representing our country there.'

'I saw my father march with Martin Luther King.'
'I did not see it with my own eyes.'

'I think the minimum wage ought to keep pace with inflation.'
'There's no question raising the minimum wage excessively causes a loss of jobs.'

'I respect and will protect a woman's right to choose.'
'I never really called myself pro-choice.'


Romney is such a fraud that Politifact devoted an entire page to his flip-flops:
PolitiFact | PolitiFact's guide to Mitt Romney's flip-flops

After all what we know of the two, you conclude that voters should support Romney, who offers nothing but warmed-over right-wing platitudes, with an extra helping of fraudulent arithmetic, and it’s fairly obvious that even he himself doesn’t believe anything he’s saying, because Obama is the fraud?

You've summed it up nicely...well done!

An Obama re-election means we will be out of Afghanistan next year.

It means that the economy will continue to slowly improve, as investors won't face the uncertainties of a new administration.

It means the ultra-wealthy are going to be very mad and upset, because they're going to get hit with their first tax increase in 20 years.

It means the big banks are going to change their ways, because they'll no longer her able to take advantage of a first-term President's mistakes. They will be facing a seasoned and experienced administration who is going to get tough because only a second-term President has nothing to lose by getting tough.

I can't say how his re-election will affect the Republicans. I hope that it will cause them to realize they have to do some reconciling within the party and have to learn how to do some cooperation with the other side once in a while to keep things going.

The first gay president? HA HA That's not President Obama - that was Dubya! Didn't you ever wonder what his close relationship to Karl Rove was really all about? Haven't you read about their cute and cuddly names they had for each other?

I hope I live to see the day we see our first openly gay/lesbian president. I also look forward to the first atheist president. A gay (or lesbian) atheist president would be perfect!

Why is it that Republicans are always the ones that need to do the reconciling?

Do you left wing extremists not realize that Oblama and the Democrats are just as partisan as the Republicans, if not moreso? Or have you already forgotten the Obamacare debacle? Not one Republican idea was solicited and the GOP was locked out of the negotiations as Oblama smugly proclaimed "he won" the election.

So tired of intellectually dishonest liberals.
