I'm a registered Democrat for over 25 years but I try to look at the GOP objectively as I can.
However, I'm really puzzled at how they keep dredging up these total buffoons to represent their party in Presidential elections! I won't even get started about Dubya, who had the speaking skills of an 8th grader who rode the short yellow bus if you get my drift. GW Bush should be in front of a firing squad for all the lies about WMD's. Sarah Palin is like the punchline of a really bad junior high joke.
Just take this guy Dr. Ben Carson. A Yale graduate and youngest black chief neurosurgeon in the history of the United States, and yet he honestly believes homosexuality is a "choice" and that evolution is fake? They should revoke his medical license for even saying such drivel. Who would see a doctor with a brain as confused and ignorant as this man's?
And what about Jeb Bush --- the ultimate flip-floppity waffling liar? One day he says he would invade Iraq all over again, and the next day he says he wouldn't do it. Can anyone trust this dude with even the simplest questions?
Chris Christie ran up over $83,000 in NJ taxpayer dollars on snacks and booze at NFL games? Swear to God, that's something you'd hear from a stand up comedian, but it's actually true! Oh my, that is sooo pathetic and sad.
Can't wait to see Ol' Bible-Thumper Rick Santorum ramp up his schtick again. This weirdo wants to immediately launch Crusades in every Middle Eastern country and strap gay men to Tomahawk missiles in order to bomb Tehran and Pyongyang back to the Stone Age. What a lovely tolerant Christian, eh?
Hillary is laughing at how easy it will be to take the White House in 2016. Bill is already making the talk show rounds and it's looking like a victory tour, folks.
The president is not a dictator, he cannot pass whatever bills he dreams up. It's not fully up to him what gets done and what doesn't... there's a whole other disaster he has to go through called congress.
Apparently you have chosen to disregard your Idol's favorite means of getting what he wants by bypassing Congress, ie his use of executive privelege. Does widespread amnesty for illegal aliens, normalising relations with Cuba and last but not least, a deal allowing Iran to develop nuclear arms ring even a tiny bell in what passes for your mind?
The Democrats don't have control of Congress because young people didn't get off their asses and vote. The old bitty's, of course, were diligent about it.
I'd say they won Congress because of the number of folks who had had enough and DID get off their a $$es to vote. And last I checked, even the "old bittys" are entitled to vote their beliefs.
Too funny. GW had to put up with Dem controlled House and Senate his last 2 years leading to the Recession. Did you notice there were no gains (only losses and highest debts ever) when Dems controlled the President, House, & Senate and only after that staunch Republican Congress stopped the wild spending give away to Obama donors did the economy start to gain.
Nice. Whatever happened to that stimulus thing, you know something that most top economists say saved the economy from going into a depression. . . . let's ignore that. . . . maybe people will forget . . .
And, oh, the economy was already starting to recover in 2010, as noted by said economists . . . well before the Republicans took office in January 2011 following the mid-term elections.

Sorry.

Economists, LOL. Pseudo science salesmen never held to account for anything they say. They are there to legitimize whoever is running government at the time.
Obama was incredibly unpopular and reviled in 2012, going up against a very electable GOP candidate in Mitt Romney. Horrible debates, especially the first one. Could not have been worse for the Democrats.
Obama still wins by 5 million votes and by 126 electoral votes.
Can Hillary do a lot worse?
In 2012, African-American turnout increased by only 10% as compared to 2004 (thus AA vote drop-off can't be as much as being predicted by the right). Women voters will turn out more, especially single white women. Latinos will turn out more in light of immigration issues. The college kids in general would be chomping at the bit to elect the first female President.
