If any of those fools win I hope they come after the poor and middle class hard. No holding back no PC none of that. I hope they declare an open war on us. They already have declared war just more of a cold war. Get rid of medi everything. Stop all retirement. They don't feel that anyone but the rich deserve a right to retirement or any kind of life any way. Say to the poor you are poor because you did that to yourself therefore if you get sick die. If your child wants to learn and you cant send them to private school to bad. I really want this. The people who vote GOP are in this boat and they continue to vote for them mostly because of racism and abortion so they need to really feel what a right wing world feels like. The poor that don't vote should feel the boot directly applied to their neck.

The fact that we are not in a failed economy with 50% unemployment and continuously deflating values of both real estate and stocks (DJI around 200 or so) is evidence that this administration is doing very well with the disaster they handed.

The Democrats have to run against the Bushistas because that is what we will be electing if we choose any Republican. I can hope the Repubs will become honest enough to run as the party of the connected financier instead of using childish emotion to convince people to vote for endless war and regressive taxation.

Sorry. That was the result of the Bush, now Obama, Tax Cuts. If not for them unemployment would now be 75%, interest rates at 30%, and the DJIA at 2000.

Childish emotion is the domain of the fiscal liberals. "Throw Grandma into the streets." "Take food from school children."..etc..
You certainly need a better argument.

4. Where were you when this country was desperate for ANY Republican slam the ineffective policies of the GOP during the horrific Bush years?

5. You say President Obama doesn't know how to run an economy, when has your party shown that it does?

6. You're alarmed about the deficit, when has your party shown that it can turn a deficit into a surplus and achieve a surplus or not achieve a record deficit?

7. You're obsessed with taxes so why didn't your no-taxes approach work during the Bush years to prevent a near-Depression?

8. The health care crisis stared your party in the face for 8 years, and your party ignored it. Where was your outrage?

9. Your party has become synonymous with bigotry and racial insenstivity. Why aren't you doing more to dispel this notion?

10. Bush is universally recognized as the worst president in history,a man who was frighteningly ignorant. This country is still grappling with the negative impact of his policies and inaction. Why aren't you emphasizing how you differ from him and the party that you share with him?

11. Why aren't you acknowledging that President Obama was given the worst mess in history, a universally recognized fact?

None of the GOP candidates can answer any of these questions, and will therefore fail miserably in elections across the country. Tremendous edge to President Obama and the Dems.
Have you quit beating your wife yet?

This question is no more stupid then yours.

Actually, that's a good thing since Obama is now worse than Bush.

Default The upcoming elections spell doom for the Republicans

Their candidates still have no answers to these questions. They can't explain how their ideology has improved from the Bush years because it hasn't. This is political suicide for the GOP.
