I understand, I don't think the GOP will have a death tho.

It has been very idiotic, I voted for Bush the first time and that was quite enough.

I don't think most Americans support them, you don't hear about it much other than on political forums and other news/shows/radio personalities.

Palin, Trump I think were just sticking around to keep their names in the news and TV or to sell books or appear on TV

Bachmann & Newt never appealed to me, Michelle made too many mistakes with history, one could be acceptable but it went on, plus the bashing of the President did not help their party much. No other president was talked about or bashed as much as President Obama, I think the American people have noticed and just ignored things that were said by these people, its sad when you think about it.

I liked Paul last election but he got knocked out, I don't like him this time around.

I'd rather have Perot running again than the ones we keep hearing about.

Of course I will be bashed.

Not everyone surveys as frequently as Rasmussen, but it's consistent with his less recent post Bin Laden drop in job approval by Gallup.

Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval

Obama's Approval Bump Hasn't Transferred to 2012 Prospects

From what I read neither D nor R will come to any type of budget compromise.
And the Dems never signed a budget last year.
EXACTLY why they will lose in 2012! No one in the dimwit party had a clue, just spend spend spend spend. Which is why we are at the debt ceiling, but like the f***Ing morons they are, they are crying the debt ceiling must be raised. No, the SPENDING must quit! It's like having a credit card limit, then demanding the limit be raised even tho you haven't paid for what you already rung up on it.
Right now, the fools of the dimwit democratic party are the spoiled brats that see thye are out of control on wasting money, but they want someone to give them more. And these idiots want us to call them adults, or leaders of the Country? I don't believe I will make that mistake !!!!
bye bye mr forged fake birth cert moron and to his party, good ridence!

YOu need to learn about generational cycles. The world in 10 years will be radically different than it is today.

The right and left will be one and the axis will shift to authoritarians vs. liberty.

What the poster failed to mention is the current Gallup polling showing Presient Obama up 43% to 40% against the generic Republican.

Also there is still no clear Republican front runner. It's basically Michelle Bachman and the seven dwarves.

If I remember right, "generic" always polls better than an actual candidate at this stage.

- Ron Paul announces, then says it was a mistake to take out bin Laden (AND he wants to end aid to Israel, AND he wants to legalize heroin, AND he's anti-death penalty, AND he wants to repeal the Civil Rights Act , AND he wants to disolve the FDA- you know, the guys who regulate how much RAT S*** gets in your Snickers bars...AND he's 76 years old... otherwise, he's a GREAT candidate!)

And last but not least... gas prices are down for the 10th straight day!!!

C'mon guys, you're making this too easy!

The "Forest Gump" GOP: "Ahm tarred... I think aw'll go lie down naow..."


........................ high unemployment, record debt, record deficits, manufacturing leaving the US.

It will be interesting to see how Obama attempts to defend his ineptitude in the 2012 election, as his record is terrible. People were duped once, but I doubt they will be duped again enmasse. Of course, liberals will vote for him regardless of his record, but that will not be enough.

Liberals can seek "hope and change" for 2012, but the facts remain that Obama has performed terribly. Unlike 2008, he will actually have a record and lack of accomplishments which he will have to defend; he will not have the luxury of attacking the position of his opponant and will be in the uncomfortable position of explaining ineptitude. That should be fun to watch.

Wasn't the "death of the GOP" predicted in 2008? Then they kicked butt in the 2010 elections. These predictions are idiotic.

I never said anything about "Conservatives". There is very little conservative about this current crop of GOP nuts. Generally they are tools for money masters of the USA. They dispise progress of the country in any form it may appear. They are reactionary and think that the answers to todays problems are to turn back the clock. There is an undercurrent of racism and I don't care what anyone says, it's a fact. I've listened to their spokespeople too many times pointing their fingers at the Blacks and the Latinos. Their denials just make them look more like the losers they are.

They completely lack in any kind of compassion for the poor the sick the mentally challenged or anyone in society that's not "THEM". They are hippocrates of the worst sort. They push family values while having their affairs. They are the first to line up at the trough when there is a programme that benefits them. Do you realize that many of this new crop of Tea partiers that are farmers have been milking the public purse for years for "THEIR" subsidies. Oh but they are intitled to it I guess, no one else but they are for sure. On their family values, they block, obstruct or roll back any and all programmes that may benefit families, except of course the rich families who these think are the only families that really matter. No sir, these are not conservatives at all. They are political whores, laying down for their pimps the 1% of the American people they represent. When will the Amerixan people get a clue and see these bloodsuckers for who they "REALLY ARE"?
