I would be open to other choices but there are none.

Sanitorium ?? Sexually repressed and wants the rest of the country to be too.
Romney ? Seems to change position depending on whom he is talking to.

Newt ? HAHAHAHA
How do you know Santorum is "sexually repressed?" Do you know all about his personal life?

Where is the "hypocrisy?"
Funny where were clowns like you when GWB went above and beyond any President in history in spending more than we received???

Uhhhhh nowhere...case closed...call Rush for a talking point!

Actually its just called common sense. Any normal human being can see the guy has seriouse sexual repression issues.

It's like a guy is 48-yrs old, lives in his moms basement, all his 'friends' are the elementary aged kids in the neighborhood and he always wants to take pictures of them running through the sprinkler in their bathing suits...DO YOU REALLY NEED ANY PROOF?

My god are you Republicans REALLY this creepy?

Oh, okay. Because YOU fantasize about stuff, that means everyone else is "creepy." Yeah, you've got a really airtight argument there. Better take it off your head though before it strangles you.

Damn. You make harborlady sound sane...

In both cases, the most recent month is equal. However, the current trend strongly suggests that 2012 will show significantly better GDP growth than 2004.

As for jobs, the average monthly job growth in 2004 was below 200k (2200k for 12 months, or 183k/month). At present, we've seen job growth exceeding 220k for the past three months.

As for the lagging economic indicator of the unemployment rate, most people know full well how this picture came into being:


Which is why:
Poll: 54 percent blame Bush for economy - The Washington Post

The trend correlating with Presidential elections isn't the economic present compared to where we'd all like to be but the current economic trajectory. This is why Carter lost in a landslide with an unemployment rate of 7.5%, but Reagan won in a landslide despite an unemployment rate only slightly better at 7.2%. The critical facts? In 1980, the unemployment rate had risen over 1% in the previous year, while in 1984 it had fallen over 1% in the previous year. In 1980, things were getting worse, in 1984, things were getting better.

Of course, it is conceivable that everything could go south in the next seven months. But if it doesn't, and if current trends continue, then the outcome of the Presidential election is all but certain.

They were probably too busy parroting Dick "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter!" Cheney ...

I'm saying that you dream up a guy with a garden hose squirting kids and he magically metamorphoses into Rick Santorum.

You're a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic, in other words. All you've got is the ants.

Illegal immigrants dont vote ..
Also when the GOP has its epic fail in November it will be attitudes like nite ryders that sank the republican ship.
