and that is not good for America. After last nights debate, which had little substance, I am concerned we are on a path of the same. Nothing but campaign hoo rah, flag waving, and anti-Obama speech. Problem is, people buy it and it works.

We are doomed.

Because their is no clear opponent at this point. There are various polls, all saying different things. From what I have gathered amongst my colleagues, most people want him gone.

Gone in place of who? There is absolutely no one on the Republican side worth putting in place of Obama.

You must also work in a very right-wing place, because most of MY colleagues would rather see a unicorn in office than any of the Republican contenders.

Seriously. What does it say to the Republican Party as a whole if they continue to spatter "anyone can beat him!" and they still don't beat him?

Lightbulb Almost anybody can beat Obama

I'd bet on Obama. Last night's "debate" between the 7 dwarfs was ...

less than impressive, shall we say.

They buy into the idea that if one says something often enough it becomes truth, silly people.
