If you think about it, not having seen your next paycheck is a very common experience.

I never voted for Obama, but unlike you, I'm a firm believer in math. Studied the exiting polls in both 2008 and 2012, religiously.

The GOP problem is a math problem, as they are selling horse and buggies in the 21st century, wondering where all the customers went.

The demographics of the 21st century require a brand, new approach. A big tent is not a luxury..it is a necessity. In order to widen the tent, the TP must be banished from the tent, as they yearn for prior centuries, ignoring the one they live in, holding back the GOP in the process.

Did you read my blog link? I think not so I feel not reading your blog link is only fair from me. Which of the latest "jobs" bills are you talking about? See me admit that I didn't read your link.

Did you make all this up by yourself or did you read it somewhere, like Daily Kos or StinkProgress?
Nah, I saw it on NEOCONvict.org.

All in all though, the reason why Obama was re-elected is because people are too scared to vote third party. Other then the social issues, I don't see a huge difference between the two major political parties.
I think that the major social issue that did Romney in was what Ms. Hollis called the vagina vote. Why didn't you even mention that? I know, but will you admit it?

Since you can't read from that source be careful what blogs you post things from because I will be forced to maintain my ignorance of what lefties think. At least you admitted that you didn't read the link. Most of your kind fail to make that admission.

I wonder when we're going to meet a well-informed leftist who can debate or discuss from a fact based perspective, rather than just parroting other leftist, and doing their best to sound as condescendingly "clever" and snarky as Bill Maher.

I approached this topic with hope, but first it's "tinfoil hats" then the usual "Fox News" trashing, followed by the expected "I don't read links to wing nut sites".

This is why Obama was reelected. We have an ill-informed electorate that is easily led down the garden path who have been told how smart and superior they are to anyone who isn't dancing in the daisies with them.

As to the failure of the Republicans, it is legion. But, as some know, Republicans and Conservatives are not the same thing. The Republican Party does not represent Conservatives, and hasn't for a long time. Ultimately, there is one agenda in DC, due to the failure of Americans to be responsible for our rights and freedoms, and that is for the politicians to get themselves reelected so they can continue on representing their favored special interest groups.

How about you noting and discussing the huge [MOD CUT] vote from that 2012 election? You don't really understand that ones principles, like the GOP, should be used in determining how they vote.
