So, is there any good reason left for people to want to re-elect Obama?
He's NOT a Republican

Since the Republicans declared war on the American Middle Class I wouldn't vote for any republican

Exactly. Voting for a republican besides maybe Huntsman would be voting to bring on the apocalypse.

Suppose it turns out to be a middle of the road, Reaganesque republican. What's so bad about that?

That would be even worse than any of the alternatives already running.

Why is the letter next to the name more important than the individual?

Huntsman's poll numbers are so low he won't even qualify to debate. He has zero chance of being nominated.

Are you saying there was a reason to vote for him in the first place? I don't think so.

There was a time when I voted Republican but with the present state of the Republican party - not under any circumstances. None. No way. If the GOP manages to field a presidential candidate who is not a complete crackpot I might feel remorse, but they will probably let themselves be dictated to by the TP who can and cannot run for POTUS.

When the GOP regains its sanity I might consider voting Republican. Not before.

That's correct because he's sane. Sane doesn't appeal to the GOP masses.

That's a broad sweep of your brush and not true.
