I understand the point trying to be made, that if they can't beat this miserable failure, then maybe they need to pack it in, but we must put most all of the blame for an Obama reelection on the shoulders of the idiots who voted for him.
How do we change those who vote for him unless we get them to understand about him? I am saying, along with Ingraham that the advisors advised McCain and look where he ended up. There are some advisors in his group who go back to when Clinton pushed that economy idea and they didn't learn then.

If Obama snowed all those young people, mostly of the female gender, in 2008 and now they are making their war on women an issue it is past time to start hammering on the record and the economy not trying to react to what Obama says.

The fact that the Romney campaign is unable to get a huge lead in the polls or even make it look like he is going go win come November is sad. To me the main things that are 1) The Etch a Sketch comment is sticking with Romney. No one believes him because he has no credibility, he changes his stance on everything and is constantly flip flopping 2) Plans? He has none other than I am going to create jobs (HOW?) I am going to fix the economy (HOW?) I am going to repeal Obamacare (NO YOU WON'T) and 3) He is a tool. Sorry but he is and he is constantly re-creating that tool image on a daily basis.

There is no reason Obama should win this election and he probably will simply because the GOP has put up yet another terrible candidate and there are enough people out there who are on the fence that will vote Obama just because he isn't Mitt Romney.

It isnt rocket science, i see your parents or Legal Gaurdians set the bar very low for you.
It's not your fault really.
My wife is an RN and my Brother in Law is an MD specialising in Psychiatry.
Judging from your post history and how folks around me describes people with mental disorder behaves, coincides with the description and category that best describes you. I just thought you needs a kind reminder thats all.

I will ask my doctor for you tomorrow as I have a number of things to ask her.

My dad was a lifetime Democrat who nearly voted for Nixon over Kennedy till I talked him into doing it. I was also a Democrat back then. My mother was a Republican who seldom discussed politics with us. They didn't set any bar as far as politics are concerned, though. I don't think I have moved as far right as you do but then, I am now and then wrong. I do get wound out here against leaners but do wonder if I am so much right of you.

Did you by any chance not read the link at the beginning of this thread? Your posts sound like you failed and maybe you need to read it, if you get a chance.

Sure. You're smarter than all of Romney's campaign staff.

Hammering on the economy would most likely also force Romney to be specific about his "plans".......obviously he doesn't have any good plans so there's nothing to be specific about.....and that could backfire big time on Romney. There may be method in the madness of his campaign.

Has Obama spelled out anything beyond what he has done up to now? You are trying hard but Romney always has Obama's record to pound on. Keep trying because I am sure you aren't the only leaner here who believes as you do.

How many wins have those people worked for? None, so I may be smarter than most of them. I haven't had a chance to try but taking establishment GOP people to a win will never be easy.

Never thought I'd agree with Laura Ingraham but losing this election would be way more an ominous sign than most conservatives think. This election should be lost by the Dems, that U of Colorado study that shows Romney should be up in a landslide judging by economic factors isn't panning out in real life. A Democratic victory would mean the Republicans and their policies are so screwed up and far out of the mainstream that they can't even win with the wind at their back and massive poll tax voter ID scams. It'd mean America has reached the tipping point where the extreme right wing is no longer electable on a national ticket.

I still don't think Laura and other Republicans grasp exactly how the party should be rebuilt: they should purge the Tea Party and become a center right party based on economics rather than all the ridiculous culture war crap they run on now, similar to the center-right parties in Canada and Europe.
