It's not Republicans, it's a small global elite who want America to fail. They use both parties to accomplish their ends.

Every time I read this thread title, I wonder to myself, what kind of moronic uneducated person would write or think something like this?

Of course, the Republicans don't want America to fail.

That's what they're taught in school these days.

It's the Left and Right that is the failure. When one is president the other runs the house. It's the same! Why can't anyone acknowledge that?

See, I think the Republicans were responsible for 9/11 attacks to hide the fact that irrefutable evidence was about to be uncovered that the Lunar Landing that took place during Republican President Richard Nixon's presidency was in fact faked. And it worked. After all, does anyone have any knowledge of this irrefutable evidence? No. Circumstantial evidence, maybe, but not irrefutable evidence.

The Republicans have always been annoyed that the Dems were in the White House all through WWII. Republicans like wars whereas Democrats prefer homosexual issues such as gay marriage and anti-god stuff, which is almost the same as being for gay marriage.

It is really all about the Republicans getting generals elected (Grant and Eisenhower) while the Democrats can only get a Catholic elected (Kennedy). And who cares about Catholics? So the Dems are mad at the Repubicans because they think the Republicans still owe them. But as we all know, our concerns ought to be Muslims, atheists, and Rush Limbaugh, in that order.

And I haven't yet mentioned Herbert Hoover. Herbert Hoover was a Republican President who was in charge when the Depression began. Hoover intentionally triggered the Depression to assure that a Democrat would get elected in at least the next two elections. Hoover was secretly paid off my the Dems to screw up the stock market and start the Depression. I think he was paid off in gold and diamonds so no one could trace the payoff. And it worked. Today no one knows about any pay-off and there is almost no suspicion that Hoover intentionally initiated the Depression. So I ask you, What more proof do you need of a secret pay-off?

Of course it was the Green Party who thought up the Y2K fiasco. But that's for another thread.

Default This is why the Republicans will loose the Presidential race...

Talk radio hosts like Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage, Levin, and the rest...
Think they can steer 'independent' voters to their side by just coming up with 'a bit more dirt' on President Obama...

'Oh surely if we just release this tape or this quote, the voters will clearly see how rotten the President is'...

That's how they think....

But it doesn't work...

It's like someone trying to get you to turn against your wife or husband or son or daughter, by whispering in your ear how 'foul' they really are...

Your reaction would be 'get out of my face'....

The only way the Republican canidates could win this election is to start showing a little 'respect' for the current President...empathy, understanding, and acknowledge that being President of America, in these modern times, is no easy task...

They don't realize that when they hurl insults, spit at, current President, they're doing so to all who voted for him, and who believe in him, and want him to succeed...

They just don't get it...instead they double down on negative slanderious statements, and asign the worst possible motives to the current President...basically turning him into a 'monster' simply for being of another party...

Those tactics only resignate with the unobjective types, those who already made up in their minds long ago that they don't like Democrats or this President...

But for those who are objective, and can step away and examine the big picture, it just makes them look silly...and actually makes you want to vote for Obama again just to stick it to all those pileing on....

Being negative and rude has just the opposite offect...the whole underdog scenerio...

That's why Clinton got re-elected, and is why Bush Jr got re-elected...because the campaigns against them were so over board and obsurd, that it stunk to high heaven by independent voters...


When did politics get to the point where you have to 'hate' your oppenent? or demonize them, and call them nasty names, and assign nasty motives to them, simply cause they have a different view point or vision??


Talk radio, and what it has turned into, is the Republican canidates worst enemy right now...

it really gives 'Conservatism' a ugly mean negative face...and that turns many off...

And what's even worse is when you start seeing the Rep Canidates mimic radio hosts...and follow their lead in negative attacks against current President...
If all they want is hardcore, hate Obama, talk radio voters...than such tactics work...but if they want others to consider what they can do for this nation...then they had better 'grow up'...and show a little class and respect for that office...like Canidates of old...where you could disagree, without being uncivil....

But sadly, I doubt they'll change...and continue to bash away, tell us how bad the economy really is, tell us how unemployment is way higher than national figures ect ect...while actually believing being the bearers of such a negative slant on things will 'win' voters...

The 'sower lemon' strategy does not work....not against a mid term President...

Oh well...I'm sure their campaign advisers know way more than those of us out here who are potential voters...

Schultz (talk **** and Cheney should die from a heart attack and is anti-American terrorist along with L. Ingrham is a right wing ****), Maher (choke this b***h), M. Williams (slit your wrist), RFK (Inhofe a prostitute), R. Emmanuel (Palin is retarded), Soros (Bush is a dyslexic NAZI), Daily KOS (the world will be a better place without T. Snow), NPR & MSNBC (attacked M. Malkin when her cousin went missing), Jerry Brown (Meg Whittman is a *****), Belafonte (Powell, you're a house slave).

Time and Space, you're freaking deluded in your assessment of what's going on in this country.

Maybe we should send them to Gitmo as enemies of the state?

Ok, keep thinking that way...and calling people 'deluded'...the 'conservative way' insult...as you just did...

And we'll chat again, after election day...when Obamas in for another 4 years....

Simply cause Republicans cannot respect the President, and have been trained by talk radio hosts to be very hostile and mean to anyone of a different view point...

And instead of 'Conservatives reaching for 'higher moral ground'...by comparing Rushes sentiments and words, and spirit to that of Christs, or Jesus...

They instead now hold up Cable TV anchors as the new standard in behavior to strive for....

Talk about lowering the moral bar....(and then act as if intellegent people don't notice this)....

Making excuses for Rush Limbaughs vile comments, by comparing his comments with other peoples vile comments....

If you can't lead by example, than one is not fit to lead at all...

Or at least don't associate 'Conservatism' with 'decency' anymore...it's just another secular ideological movement like any other now...
