2012 Elections in the USA

It looks like the Republicans dodged a bullet. Romney is their nominee. I could be dead wrong but it seems so obvious that Romney will be elected President. It is crystal clear that romney is light years more competent than the current president. But then. Who isn't. I expect something similar to the Reagan / Carter election. That election was considered a dead heat up to polling day. But when the votes had to pull the lever they said enough is enough. Reagan won by one the largest landslides in history.

Here is a few funny ones for you to chew on.

[QUOTE=Esten; 421584]Maybe the Republican budget plan is the best option. With our growing debt problem, we all have to make sacrifices.

Giving another tax cut to the wealthy, while I take a cut on future Medicare benefits, seems like a fair approach.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=El Alamo;421609]I could be dead wrong but it seems so obvious that Romney will be elected President.[/QUOTE]If there is anything more wrong than dead wrong, you own it Alamo! A Romney victory may be obvious in Uruguay, but in the US of A voters seem poised to deliver a slam-dink for Obama. Romney is less popular than former President George W, who people still blame for the economic crisis. Voters like Obama. He is 19% up over Mitt on the guy to have a beer with measure. The Prez leads by double digits nationally and in the swing states for the final!

1. Romney is not a Ronald Reagan, but that could be offset somewhat by the fact that Carter was a much better president than Obama.

2. Your prediction is based on the assumption that wannabe dictator Obama is going to allow us to have a free election, I suspect it's going to be something more akin to a Hugo Chavez type election.

Punter.

You may be right. Obama's vote totals are favorably impacted by votes from the legally dead, convicted felons, illegal immigrants, and imaginary people who never existed. And some of these people are allowed to vote over 200 times each election. Strangely, all these fraudulent voters pull the lever for Obama

It is similar to a football game where one side plays by the rules and the other team wants 5 points for a field goal, 12 points for a touchdown and 3 points for the conversion after a touchdown.

Independent studies document that over the past five national election cycles out of hundreds of millions votes cast a few dozen criminal charges have been brought for voter fraud and of those most were dismissed for lack of evidence.

Sounds like Bush in Florida.

Sounds like you still think we needed Gore since he invented the Internet while cutting carbon dioxide emissions and monitoring it all from his G4 (that his daddy let him that he buy with the coal mine profits in Tennessee).

This mornings jobs report reiterated what many have said on this board. Obama will keep a lid on the US economy. If Obama were in charge of Apple he would bankrupt the company within 6 months. The man is absolutely clueless. Anti-business to the bone and then wonders why the economy stays in the gutter

War Horse came out on Video in the USA this week.

I really was reluctant about watching the movie, because I did not want to see horses charging into cannons. But that happen, but when I watched the Soldiers following there rich Captains' telling them to Go forward or be Killed by there own friends on Captain's orders.

That was 1914.

Or Did They know what they were in Charge of?

What happened to the War Bonds? They had them in the first and second World Wars.

Good grief. It is worse than I thought.

Sorry it's not a movie WT69

It is clear that those who suffer from Obama Derangement Syndrome (ODS) live in their own separate universe.

Here is something to chew on. Without the Stimulus and other government initiatives, there would have been more business failures, more layoffs, more foreclosures, and higher unemployment. The Republican argument is that this short term pain would be good in the long run as the strong would remain and the weak would be weeded out.

But what happens when more of the economy is concentrated into fewer, stronger companies? These large companies become more efficient and need less labor. And when wealth is concentrated into fewer, wealthier individuals, there is less net spending into the economy.

The unemployment rate just ticked down to 8.2%. Without the Stimulus, this number would be higher. Those who advocate Darwinian capitalism imply it's a good thing for everyone. But it's only good if you're on the winning side. And that becomes increasingly difficult when the strong become stronger.
