Prophet Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) would not join Republican Party. He would be Green Party or Communist/Socialist Party member.

No, they can be watched quite cheaply and easily. Like Saddam, if they have bombs, they don't have a delivery system that would get them all the way here. They would have to attack us by proxy.

We have the most overbloated and wasteful military system on the planet, with enough firepower to destroy the Earth several times over. We spend ten times what anyone else does. It is time for that to stop in its tracks.

We need to shift our priorities, in other words.

We have seen this same scenario with the CBF being co-opted by the neonazis and KKK and flown alongside flags with swastikas. The image of the two together is what sticks in the minds of those who see it, and all the talk in the world about "Heritage" won't bring back an untarnished view again.

There is no longer room in America for racism. The new generation of voters don;t care about a person's race or gender. The republicans would do well to ponder that before the next election.

Blacks and Latinos are not by default anti-conservative. It's more that they are not going to support these jack-off rightwingers who keep endlessly insulting them. Why in the hell should any black woman, for example, vote GOP when Republicans have been playing this completely bogus and mythical "welfare queen" nonsense for the last thirty years? Why should a Latino-American citizen who's family has been in America for generations and who pays his taxes, goes to work, and even serves in the armed forces, vote GOP when it's Republicans in place like Arizona who say that he shouldn't ***** if he gets racially profiled when he's driving and unjustifiably gets pulled over by cops looking for illegals?

The angry white male phenomenon, another demographic BTW that shouldn't be voting GOP either considering that it's most been the Republican lackeys for Wall Street that have made life so damn difficult in the US for white males (through the ongoing destruction of middle-class jobs) as much as they have for any other group, is just more garbage that has to end. No one is going to listen to Republicans as long as they're projecting themselves as the public face of unhinged rage. White women have abandoned the GOP too, thanks to all the rape-talk idiots, and sent an unprecedented number of female Democrats to Congress as a result. White males will figure all of this out too someday. It's not that the Democrats are good, because most of the time they're not, it's just that right now the Republicans are so goddamn awful in all respects that more and more Americans are finding it impossible to support them anymore. Bring back real conservatism, and get rid of this deplorable bat**** hate-radio/FOX News/internet whackjob monstrosity that's stolen the conservative name.

Reality for you: Now and than, the GOP even with the TP can have the house, but that is as good as it gets.

With 21 unsafe Dem Senate seats in 2011, Reid has 2 more members now than he did than. Obama will now be POTUS until 1/20/2017.


If the House is all the GOP strives for, mission accomplsihed.

The economy will continue to break apart and even the takers will start to turn to the Republicans in the next election. They may love the "free stuff" the Democrats give to them, but most still want a job.

Yea cutting spending to meet the budget is so 1960s
Republicans need an update its 2012 where deficit spending and massive debt is cool as long as you blame bush and take no responsibility like the dems do

Considering Obama's base of hundreds of thousands of clueless college kids bussed into the pols otherwise preoccupied with studies and binge drinking who can barely name the vice president much less the secretary of state or current events, I'd say if they were truly informed of the "facts", there's a very good chance we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.




Willard. Pushing grandma off a cliff. Binders full of women. Nonsensical abortion scare tactics. War on women. Big Bird. Romnesia.
Obama ran a campaign straight out of a middle-school mean girls' play book. The most childish presidential campaign of my lifetime.
How people depict Obama personally is there own thing. Still a free country at the moment.
The Romney campaign didn't put it out there.



I'm under 40. I've lived in places where I was in a 10% minority. I've lived in extremely diverse neighborhoods. I've spent a significant amount of time working in impoverished minority neighborhoods. I've met the best, kindest people ever in those places.
None of that means I have to agree with them politically. I look at them and truly believe that they would be better off free from the shackles of the democratic party.





You can't be serious.
You do realize the above statement describes Obama to a T. Romney was largely optimistic and upbeat. Obama was regurgitating the same drivel he spewed out in '08. He yelled a lot. He was angry. 4 years of "experience", and he has nothing at all whatsoever to run on.
Say what you want, you're at least entitled to your own opinions, but holy cow, that really beats anything I've read in a while.
That doesn't compare to the graphics all over the internet pertaining to this about Obama:

It's odd that this is brought up because I didn't see any signs depicting willard as a neo nazi, marxist, socialist and others.
Shall I throw in the distateful parts when people talked about Michelle Obama too?

There were distasteful things coming from both sides.... equally, if you decide to do an unbiased search. Obama chose to lower himself and join in the silliness. Romney did not.

No, it actually says truckloads about the kind of people who voted for Obama. Yes, the lowest common denominator is running our country.

There was nothing horribly wrong with Romney as a candidate. You just bought into Obama's rhetoric, or you're an ardent supporter who never will understand the other side no matter what.
