I doubt you guys will win this demographic over, being that you were calling these same people mindless zombie socialists who hate America.

If only the left had, had a locked in filibuster proof majority, THEN they could have turned everything around and put a chicken in every pot...oh damn, that's right they did have it, and still couldn't get anything done. Obama and the rest of the liberals on Capital Hill have a pathological aversion to accepting responsibility for anything they have, or haven't done. It's always someone elses fault in their mind.

When the bill for Obamas spending comes due the next generation will be wishing there had been a hell of a lot more foot dragging.

We don't have to win them over, but it would make it much easier if they stayed home in despair and disgust.

Not counting on them voting R, some will, the conservative dems who have had enough of obama/pelosi/reid.

I'm one of the 4 out of 10. I voted for and supported Obama initially. I was really pulling for him. He has turned out to be a major disappointment.

But believe me, there is no way in hell, that I would vote for any tea party member/ supporter / affiliate, or anyone remotely associated with anything tea partyish. Never ever.

So, I am curious. Those that disagreed with anything Zerobama has done, was considered racist. Now come midterm elections, when the balance of power changes hands, does that mean we are all racists for voting that way? Nov 2nd, mark the calender, National Take Out the Trash Day!!!!

Could have said the same of Bush, during his supreme reign. May GOPers were kicking themselves in the crotch. Why do you think Obama won? The truth is that it is difficult to run a country so complex and diverse as the USA, the "most entitled country on earth". I did not vote for Obama but frankly I don't think anyone from the GOP could have done a better job. Certainly not McCain/Palin. What a joke. I certainly don't agree with all of Obama's policies and actions but I don't think I could have come up with any better solutions.

There is a certain intelligence that comes with being objective and knowing your limits. That sort of intelligence is severely lacking here.

What's really sad and pathetic, is voters will once again be deluded by another candidate rich in charisma, charm, starpower, and the ability to tell a good lie.

There'll never be an end to it, as long as voters will forever run from candidates who are stupid enough to tell the truth.

Is now a good time to say "I Told You So?"

I was planning to wait until after the midterm elections, but it appears that the ink is already dry for that Writing On The Wall that Democrats started scribbling back in 2006 and solidified with the election of Barack Obama in 2008.

Us thinking people knew he didn't have what it takes to be President of the Free World. And only the mindless among us would throw support behind an individual like Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid. I don't associate with people like those two creeps in daily life, so why would I support either of them as "leaders?" It makes no sense, but then again Democrats have never been known for extraordinary foresight.

I only wish that liberals were as perceptive as us conservatives. We told you it would happen, but you didn't believe us. Too bad, so sad. You reap what you sow.

I wonder how many would have "seen the light" if McCain had won? Stats are great fun when you have nothing to compare them too.
