GOP, stop letting the Democrats distract from the issues facing america. Stop talking about gay marriage, some imaginary "black Abe Lincoln" advertisement that doesnt exist, Rev Wright, who no one cares about, and lets get to the real issues, the economy, jobs, deficits etc.

If you allow the Democrats to distract from the issues, then we're doomed to lose.

We're doomed to lose anyway with that hatchet job of a (potential) nominee, Mittens. He's just as bad as St. Hope and Change.

When the GOP wakes the hell up and stops giving us McCains and Romneys, maybe then we'll give a crap what the GOP wants.

And since I was accused by you of being a liberal, wrong. I've been a registered Republican for 20 years.

Wholeheartedly agree

Let's keep that focus on Swiss $Mitt's time as a jobs destroyer at Bain ... his amazingly weak economic record while running the show in Massachusetts ... and how his (misguided) policies would explode the deficit



Cakewalk city for BO

In case you haven't noticed, it's generally the Republicans who try to distract from the issues. They don't want to confront the reality of private sector job growth, rising GDP, and falling unemployment. They occasionally want to draw attention to the deficit, but don't want people to pay too much attention to their ideas for "fixing" it (read: make it even bigger and screw over everyone who isn't already rich in the process).

It is Republicans who decided to go to Washington and waste their time fighting abortion battles that were settled decades ago. It is Republicans who decided to turn even something as non-controversial as the Violence Against Women Act into a political fight and an opportunity to remind us all just how much they dislike illegal immigrants and gay people.

They were elected to go to Washington and work to fix the economy. What they've actually done is engage in a radical social agenda and work to harm the economy.

We would be much more likely to lose with Ron Paul.

Romney is the best we've got. And, no, we're not doomed to lose with him unless Obama's approval ratings rise 5-7+ points.

Cakewalk City for Obama with ~47% approval and more like 45% approval among people who will actually vote? Ha.

He wouldn't be concerned about raising so much money if he thought he had an easy win.

Romney helped create far more jobs at Bain than he helped cut. FAR more. His economic record in MA was actually pretty good. That 47th in job growth statistic is pure BS, as I've explained countlessly on this forum before. He left MA with a 4.6% unemployment rate. 4.6% sounds pretty good to me. That's a lot better than a rate of over 8% that would be over 11% if so many people hadn't dropped out of the labor force (and still close to 11% even factoring in baby boomers starting to retire in larger numbers).

Obama has been the only president who has been in office when there have been deficits of over a trillion dollars each year (and, in fact, the only president who has ever been in office when there has been an annual deficit of over a trillion dollars...Bush is also partially deserving of blame for the deficit in FY 2009).

More debt was added in the first 3 years and 2 months of Obama's presidency than was added in 8 years under Bush...and Bush's record on debt was horrendous enough.

Obama's plans call for increased spending and phony fixes like the Buffett Rule that would do virtually nothing to fix the deficit but are simply part of his plan to pit groups against one another to try to pander to them to get re-elected. His plans would be virtually sure to increase the deficit. And Romney does have plans to cut the deficit.

You may be right, but for as long as I've been alive, I can't recall a single time when the GOP ever stopped talking about gays, Blacks, abortion, fear, and terror.

It's like asking a drug addict to stop talking about getting high.
