Ssssshhhhhh!

I prefer the option of letting them stupidly fail to learn a single damned thing from their epic debacle of nominating Romney!

get ready for an as* whopping on election day libs! And you will really hurt knowing it came directly from the Tea Party.
Please answer this question: Why would these prominent polling organizations strive to give us inaccurate and distorted information when their reputations are on the line? Their goal is to be as accurate and close as possible to the actual result to enhance their reputation and revenue.

While I suspect you are right, I'll have to wait until election day to be sure. I would like Obama to win, but I would LOVE to see a bunch of the Tea Party sent packing. They have proven to be obnoxious and incompetent. Besides the whole premise is bankrupt. They did not vote to pay any of the costs for the Bush wars, preferring to put it on the credit card. Now, they've found the fiscal conservative religion when we are in the tank and the bills are coming due. Revolting on its face.

You are 100% correct.

The problem with Romney and the current GOP, is that their social conservative rhetoric is turning off women and scaring away independents, as well as Romney's harsh immigration stance all but killed his chances with Latinos.

However

I guarantee by 2016, fiscal conservatism will make a comeback as people wake up to what a disaster Obama's policies have been.

This would only be true if someone like Michelle Bachman won the nomination. If Romney ends up failing the tea party will say (with a straight face) "they should have listened to us". Of course this ignores the fact that plenty of tea partiers voted for Romney in the primary.

You guys on the right really do live in a bubble....almost every single poll shows the POTUS pulling away from Mittens. If I were a pug, I'd start making up my excuses now. I can't wait to watch Foxnews election night to see them squirm!

When it comes to elections, 2012 is light years away. If you can't accurately predict what will happen 40 some odd days from now, trying make a prediction about what is going to happen four years hence is pure fantasy if not a fool's errand.

All while Dems have learned a single damned thing from the Clinton years, all while wrapping themselves up in his sucess. Dems sure hang themselves everytime they have power. 1980, 1994, 2010 anyone?
