The economy. That's all that matters.

See, I can talk like a moron too... like you did above
Totally unrealistic, brah. If liberals successfully dominate the political scene in 2012: Americans of all creeds and backgrounds will work together to build a better world; Americans from all socioeconomic backgrounds will demand that Congress raise their taxes until we can get our debt under control; new schools will be built across America as part of a "put America back to work" act; banks will beg homeless people to move into their empty houses; people on welfare will start to volunteer in their communities to give back to the great nation that has given so much to them; Iran will realize what a great nation America is and beg UN inspectors to come into their country and go through nuclear facilites to prove they have nothing to hide; America will lead the world in a new age of peace and posterity for all ... what begins as a "No American Left Behind" movement will become a "No Human Left Behind" movement.

The issues in 2012-2013 will be

1. when are the Europeans going to be decisive and put an end to their Euro crisis
2. when are the dems and repubs going to drop idealogy and slogans and do the right things for the
country
3. when are going to take responsible action on the debt problem---reshape entitlements, cut
military spending, and reform an antiquated and failed tax code.
4. when are we going to work on repairing this countrys failing infrastructure
5. when are American kids going to start competing in educational accomplishment with kids from
other countries that have passed us by.

Yikes---these questions are old ones---for some years----and the way our system is now failing I think we will be asking the same questions in 2014-15.

I said it was stupid... that was the point ...brah... it was designed to be equally stupid to what you posted that warrented a response in kind

What you said made n sense and anyone who would actually believe that kind of garbage you wrote would have to be on crack. You could easily make as many arguments that the Democrat party hates most humans as well

Judging by your extreme lefty partisanship, I am not surprised you didn't "get it"

There will be more OWS protests and they will become violent. The economy will dictate the 2012 election and Obama will be vulnerable. A lot will depend on the Euro and how europe recovers if indeed they do.
