Obama is going to get re-elected.
-He shot bin Laden in the eye..baddest guy in the world is dead thanks to Obama.
-He's already on the "Path to citizenship" circuit with a new set of promises
-You are all suffering because of rich bankers, rich CEO's, rich oil companies, rich people and he's going to do something about that so the "little guy" doesn't suffer.
-The "Bush mess" was bigger than anyone thought but he saved us from financial destruction
-Of course it is America's job to bring freedom and democracy to all countries in the world and he'll just expand the military to accomplish that.

The MSM still love him so details will be brushed aside.

Just my 2 cents here.

The GOP is on the wrong side. The people overwhelmingly support:
  • keeping the Medicare system that we have.
  • Taxing the wealthy more. (Currently, the 400 richest taxpayers paid a 16.6% tax-rate. Most middle-class taxpayers pay more.)
  • Raising taxes on corporation, so companies earning billions don't get away with paying $0.
  • Taxing oil companies that are earning billions

The GOP is against all of these popular policies. The GOP is able to win elections, as Thomas Frank writes, by playing up the emotional touchstones of conservatism and perpetuating a sense of a vast liberal empire out to crush traditional values while barely ever discussing the Republicans' actual economic policies and what they mean to the working class. Thus the pro-life factory worker who listens to Rush Limbaugh will repeatedly vote for the party that is less likely to protect his safety, less likely to protect his job, and less likely to benefit him economically.

Every now and then the GOP man behind the curtain is revealed and what the GOP really stand for is exposed. This is one of those times.

According to recent polls, the radical hard-right governors who were recently elected would lose by double-digit margins if the elections were held today.

MTAtech..the only problem with your "taxing" solutions is that much of that money is generated offshore so is not US based income. That foreign income is already being taxed by the country where it's generated and cannot be labeled as US income here.

I predict, we in New Hampshire, will elect a Democrat for Federal Representative in the First District. The current Republican Representative, elected in the midterm, has already voted to close the Portsmouth Navy Shipyard. This would cost southeastern NH and Southwest Maine several thousand jobs.

I want to thank Rep Ginta for his bold move against the people of the NH First and for his corporate handlers. If the voters of this district do not remember this vote they will be reminded.

You forget all the Jews lost while Israel was thrown under the big Obama bus.
Lost of the whites who before took a chance will not do so again.
Many of the Independents that thought he was good change only have change left in their bank accounts now and will not reelect this bum.

Obama is the second term of Carter.

People want to repeal Obama-care 70%, so Republicans will run on that, on balancing a budget and in saving Israel from Obama and Hamas.

That's false, about 70% want to keep the Obama healthcare plan, but would like to at least have the public option, not completely privatized the way it is now. Only a small percentage want it complete repealed which are mainly the far right lunatic fringe who will throw Romney under the bus and back a loon like Bachmann, giving a slam dunk for Obama. The republicans have also been ousted for not giving a damn about balancing the budget, and their plan is death panels for grandma which is wildly unpopular. People want real cuts like the bloated military, corporate hand outs and tax cuts for the rich which the right strongly refuse to do.
