Go ahead ~ continue! Right through 2016.

Also - learn the difference between your and you're.


If by "winning the hearts and minds of the American people" you mean buying them off with deficit spending and other people's confiscated money, I agree.

FTR, one doesn't have to be on welfare to receive more from government than they contribute.

And you wonder why a majority of the country is against you?

As for the people who are getting assistance; maybe they wouldn't need it if you didn't spend so much time and energy keeping them out of your schools, your work places, and your neighborhoods.

And finally, I wonder how many of you even actually PAY taxes. Those of us who DO don't mind one little bit if we can actually help the people you work so hard to hurt. The good news is you are losing and losing big. You might never win another national election again in your lifetime.
Sorry to state but your post is similar or worse in tone to an angry teapartier. How does it feel to be a hypocrite?

A lot of Americans are unimpressed with the fit throwing.

Cons need to hunker down, get organized, and try to win the mid terms and get one of their guys/girs elected in '16.

I think I'd go with the word "uninformed" rather than "unimpressed".
Most Americans don't care about politics and don't follow it day to day.

My sister is one of them. She's a Dem no matter what but doesn't follow politics or foreign events.

If it doesn't directly affect her then she doesn't care.

I'm sure there's Repubs out there that are the same way.

I'd like to see one of those random in the street polls that the late night talk show hosts do.

Just one question though:

"How many scandals has the WH been accused of ?"

Is it your position that these are the only voters that President Obama had? If so - continue; it worked so well last time around.

Cons need to actually do some work instead of spending all of their time and efforts in search of a scandal.

Be careful what you wish for. There are plenty of low information voters on both sides of the aisle. You might not like which responses the comedians choose to air.

Math:
47% voted for Obama, the other 53% would be voters stayed home because they could no longer stomach the GOP, simple math, even for troll op's to understand.

2016, who does the GOP have for a Presidential Candidate? 0, zero, notta, nobody, nothing.

Oddly, 51% of Americans voted for Obama, so that approval number is not surprising at all. If people were dumb enough to re-elect him, it is no shock that they would ignore his criminal activity with regard to benghazi and the IRS.
