Amen to that!

Now tell us something we don’t know!

Just like Romney failed the state of Massachusetts health care system.

Failed/success, you decide.

Our political system certainly needs new blood, but the anemia among the Republicans is chronic. Dig up Dick Nixon and run him again. At least it would be different to most Americans.

To be true to Mediaite’s mission, I have to say I’d hate to be a reporter covering the Romney campaign. This is as deathly dull and sicky sweet as Donnie and Marie reruns.

In fairness to Romney, he was for it before he was against it and he’ll be for it again before he’s against it again. In the tree of life, Romney is most certainly a willow.

Rick Perry is right.

Wait… that’s Mitt Romney?

He’s a pussy! What else does the GOP have?

Obama’s economic failure is red meat in the water for GOP pro-business sharks like Romney…

I agree Mitt and though you’d make a better president than Obama I have to throw my support behind Sarah Palin, she’d be an even greater president.

Wait, wait. Romney has good hair. That makes him a viable candidate. Whether he can overcome the burden of being Mormon, remains to be seen.

‘Barack Obama Has Failed America’

Thanks for stating the obvious.

To say this has been an extremely bad week for the Obama administration on the economic front would be a serious understatement. As The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, home prices in the United States have sunk to their lowest levels since 2002, falling 4.2 percent in the first quarter of 2011. At the same time, employment growth is stalling, with only 38,000 Americans added to the workforce in May, the smallest increase since September. This compares with 179,000 jobs added in April. There has also been a steep slowdown in the manufacturing sector, and a downturn in the stock market on the back of weak economic news.

Romney will not be the candidate. And if he is, he will lose.

Dude – we are headed for Armageddon meltdown. Pay attention.

Republicans have many good choices in 2012 .

Dems have only one . An arrogant , lazy , incompetent who has failed horribly .

“The belief in many quarters is that the Republican presidential contenders constitute a weak field. I don’t share this view; I think the announced GOP candidates, as a group, are solid representatives of their party. But let’s turn the question around: how strong is the Democratic field?

At present, it consists of one man–Barack Obama–and the American people have had about enough of him. Yesterday’s Rasmussen survey found that likely voters prefer a generic Republican over President Obama by 45-43. And that is no fluke; the numbers have been in the same range for some months. Similarly, voters are slightly more likely to call themselves Republicans than Democrats.”

Dude – You put everyone into demographics. That’s just wrong.

It’s far too early for the candidates to be out. The only ones that care are historical media pundits that want to focus on political races instead of actual policy matters.

So wrong. He makes Kerry look like a straight talking, honest broker. Romney will be a complete disaster because he has flipped and flopped on so many issues not just a few like Kerry.

Mittens is going to get crushed by Obama. Take a look at Mitt’s record on jobs. It’s not pretty!

Here are the facts on Mittens from Think Progress:

What Romney leaves out of his stump speech, however, is just how bad his state’s job creation statistics were during his four years as governor. Different job creation studies rank Massachusetts in the bottom four states during Romney’s administration. A study by the independent think tank MassINC ranked the state 49th in job creation from 2001-2007, ahead of only Michigan. And according to the U.S. Department of Labor, Massachusetts ranked 47th, ahead of only Michigan, Ohio, and Louisiana. Michigan and Ohio, both located in the Rust Belt, faced heavy job losses due to the flight of manufacturing jobs from the Midwest. Louisiana, meanwhile, lost hundreds of thousands of jobs in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

During Romney’s period as governor, Massachusetts’ job growth was just 0.9 percent, well behind other high-wage, high-skill economies in New York (2.7), California (4.7), and North Carolina (7.6). The national average, meanwhile, was better than 5 percent.

Andrew Sum, an economist at Northeastern University, researched Romney’s job record and found that Massachusetts lagged on virtually every economic indicator during his time in office, as he told Reuters in 2008:

Ouch!

These are real news sources. You’ve never heard of the Department of Labor? Do you have numbers that differ from these for Mittens? Or are you just pissed because as usual the facts have a Liberal Bias?

Barack Hussein Obama , mm mm mm . After next year , he will be paying for his own vacations .

” Many political leaders in Britain fail to understand the degree to which the American people are deeply unhappy with their president’s poor handling of the economy. Nor have they grasped the epic scale of the defeat suffered by the president in the November mid-terms, and the emphatic rejection by a clear majority of Americans of the Big Government Obama agenda.

Just seven months ago, the United States was swept by a conservative revolution that fundamentally transformed the political landscape on Capitol Hill, and gravely weakened the ability of the president to pass legislation. This revolution is not in retreat but gaining ground, led by charismatic figures such as Paul Ryan, the Reaganite chairman of the House Budget Committee, entrusted with reining in out of control government spending. And as a Gallup poll showed, America is unquestionably a conservative country ideologically, but one that is ironically led by the most left-wing president in the nation’s history.

Ultimately, the 2012 presidential election will be decided by the state of the economy, and new data released this week makes grim reading for the White House “.

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100090356/why-barack-obama-may-be-heading-for-electoral-disaster-in-2012/

Assuming that you read the rest of the article I’m sure this point really pisses you off!

“Romney blames the poor job numbers on Democrats in the Massachusetts state legislature. But since its economy faltered in 2008 and 2009, Massachusetts has rebounded in the job creation ranks, emerging from the recession with some of the nation’s strongest job numbers. Under current Gov. Deval Patrick (D) — and a legislature still controlled by Democrats — the state experienced 4.2 percent job growth in the first quarter of 2011, better than twice the national average and good enough to rank in the top 10 nationally. That followed a year of solid growth in 2010, when Massachusetts was among the nation’s leaders in job growth.”
So it’s clear, Mittens is a joke!

What should be alarming to you GOP baggers is that Congress is supposed to draft legislation and to date, the GOP has drafted 64 anti abortion bills since taking office. I’m not sure how that helps create any jobs and after the Bush tax cuts were in effect since 2001 and extended another 2 years by Obama in exchange for middle class tax cuts, unemployment extensions, the repeal of DADT and the START Treaty, those tax cuts for the wealthy still havent produced any jobs. Good luck running on that platform!

As you can see, Republicans don’t provide a viable alternative. They’re numbers once again will be too small to beat Obama and the Democrats. They’ve already lost one of their strongest groups….Seniors. Does anyone here really think they’ll vote for the party of Medicare Vouchers? Ha!

Sorry, tha’t their numbers!

“That’s their numbers”!

So, there’s no one here who can provide better job numbers for Mittens? I’m shocked! And hungry. Going for an early lunch but, don’t worry, I’ll be back!

Use real sources….

We deceided to order sandwiches from Cosi, now tell me, where can I find Mittens’ job numbers in that DOL link?

That’s what I thought! I’d like to stay and slap you around some more but, I’ve got to set up the conference room now.
Chow!

Realizing that we have things to improve and believing that we as a people will indeed improve them is much different than believing, like Mormons do, and presumably Romney does, that America MUST meltdown as a preamble for Jesus’s return, the ressurection of Mormons to Heaven, and the demise of everyone else to Hell.

That seems a rather dated notion, doesn’t it, given that recent polling has indicated that even a plurality of conservatives are running from Ryan?

What a bunch of tripe from Gardiner. America is a conservative country? Why does it consistently elect “leftist” presidents then…especially in the past 70-80yrs — far more than it does rightwingers? Can you explain that? Secondly, note that the Gallup link he uses to support this dubious claims talks about LIKELY voters. Republicans/conservatives in general tend to be more likely to vote especially due to the senior electorate. That however does not mean that the country is “conservative” unless you think not voting erases your citizenship. Conservative…relatively to the UK? Yes, but not conservative if you look at voting patterns and policy. Look at party registration and those numbers will change…drastically. If his hypothesis was true, people like Obama, Clinton, JFK, Johnson, Truman, FDR (who was elected 4X by the way) would NEVER have been elected potus in this “conservative” country. What a joke! Obama is not the most “leftist” potus either. That’s usual teabagger boilerplate used to demagogue and paint him as a radical. What Johnson, FDR did on the domestic policy front was more radical than anything Obama ever proposed…silly wingnuts. ACA, his “radical” law is just a re-tweaking of the Republican’s own health plan from the 90′s. One that also has roots in MA where Obama’s current challenger was Governor! Bunch of tripe from you Mr Gardiner.

Unsurprisingly, the polls are again looking problematic for the president. The latest Rasmussen Presidential Tracking Poll shows just 25 percent of Americans strongly approving of Obama’s performance, with 36 percent strongly disapproving, for a Presidential Approval Index rating of minus 11 points. In a projected match up between Obama and a Republican opponent, the president now trails by two points according to Rasmussen – 43 to 45. The RealClear Politics poll of polls shows just over a third of Americans (34.5 percent) agreeing that the country is heading in the right direction, with nearly three fifths (56.8 percent) believing it is heading down the wrong track. That negative figure rises to a staggering 66 percent of likely voters in a new Rasmussen survey, including 41 percent of Democrats.

What a difference a few months can make, huh…Nile? Can I use your pathetic proposition to argue the inverse?

Why would you ever consider the polls of a right-wing conservativer pollster instead of the results from a neutral source like Gallup?\
Gallup polls show the president’s approval rating at 53% and even FOX (not a liberal pollster by any means) shows 55%.

And, when someone says the country is “conservative” -you know they are in WONDERLAND, because only 25% of the electorate is registered as Republican. No, the majority of the country is centrist – either moderate republican or moderate democrat. And, the further the republicans go to the right, the less likely they are to win elections again.

After considering our present condition and what Obama has contributed to this condition, I have concluded there is not a single person ( not a single one ) over the age of consent, and if in your state that includes 14 year olds so be it, that could not have brought us to this exact situation in this exact amount of time Obama has had to do something. One would hope most of these folks would not have sold our future along the way as Obama has done. I have no clue who will be up against Obama in the coming elections, but there is no doubt whoever it is, will be a big step up. I say this because it is absolutely positive NO ONE could be worse.

I use them since it completely destroys their weak retorts dismissing the polling by saying that I’m quoting a “liberal poll.” They can NOT do that when I show them a FOX News poll showing Obama at 55% and Rasmussen at 49-51%. That is an average of 52%.

Failed America? A pretty mild reproach for a flaming Comintern mole of questionable eligibility.

Yes, Obama did inherit a failing economy and 2 wars. It’s now 2 1/2 years later and there is no improvement in either situation, infact we now are involved in 3 wars and the economy is worse. At this rate any Republican would be an improvement over Obama. The best thing the democrats could do is hold a primary and select another candidate but, that’s not going to happen. If no improvement in the economy is seen in another year, then Obama will lose the election. His administration is trying to stop Boeing from opening a new plant in S.C. and now they are investigating Delta Airlines because the employees rejected a union. It’s so obvious he’s paying back the unions for their vote. The only hope we have is if the republican house rejects raising the debt ceiling and spending is cut to the bone. Tough times call for tough decisions. Several departments can be eliminated, EPA, Dept. of Commerce, Board of Education and hugh cut backs in the DOD. We don’t need over 750 bases overseas, we need our military on our borders. Since WW2 all the wars the U.S. has been involved in have been illegal, no declaration of war has been approved by congress.
