For a couple of years, Ed has argued that a Republican is almost inevitable. I would agree with that conclusion if I thought our electorate was well educated, which I don’t. I have been voting regularly since 58 and following elections since 40. Most of these elections disappointed me even when I was confident.

Since the summer of 08 I thought we would have A Democrat for four years and and that he might win again in a close race or might loose in anything up to a blow out. I still think this.

Geez, do you think that if maybe Obamao stayed home once without golfing and, like, actually governed instead of campaigning, something good might come of it???

Uh uh.

The more this guy golfs, the less damage he does.

Golf, Barry, golf!

Thanks, I just watched and my first reaction is that when Romney says he opposes taxes, he’s lying. In fact Romney supports Bernanke and Geithner and the inflationary monetary policy of the fed, and inflation is the most insidious kind of taxation and redistribution of wealth. At least with regular taxation the government has to come and take it from people, with inflation people like Obama and Romney just print the money.

And I have to go in a minute so I’ll close by pointing out that Romney does not have any plan to cut spending and balance the budget, all he has is vague hope-n-change talking points.

At this stage of the game, you can’t really believe some of the things you say…. right?

HomeoftheBrave on June 18, 2012 at 3:50 PM

Oh really, smarty pants? Then tell us, what is Romney’s plan to cut spending and balance the budget?

He needs a ball buster announcement in Sept…VP is probably the only choice since Joe Benign Brain Tumor Biden doesn’t bring much to the voting tally table..I always thought it would be Hillary, but Bill’s recent bandwagon jumping comments tell me it would be someone else…since I can’t fathom a centrist, reasonable, honest, private-sector experienced Dem, I am at a loss for who he could nominate…

Oh, lots of choices… Bill Maher or Alec Baldwin come to mind.

Eartquakes, hurricane, tsunamis anywhere in the world ????….whaaat? Nothing???…not even a dramatic Greek exit of the EU?…tzk, tzk, who is he going to blame it on then….neah, you don’t think….Boooosh :)….

dear leader will double down on focusing on select voting blocs and give them what they want instead of focusing on the economy…

Obama is so invested in turning America into a European style Socialist Democracy, he’s trying to engage in Coalition Building just as a Prime Minister would do in a Parliament.

If Romney wins, 55% will be optimistic about the future economy in mid-November, and the S&P average will be soaring.

Steve Z on June 18, 2012 at 2:29 PM

Romney doesn’t have any plans to address the problems in this country, he just want to be POTUS out of a sense of his own personal ambition. That is why he doesn’t have any principles and is willing to tell as many lies as he needs to to win. He doesn’t have a plan to cut spending and balance the budget, he support Bernanke and Geithner’s inflationary monetary policy that have raised the hidden tax so high and has caused gas prices to skyrocket.

Romney’s solutions are the same as Bush and Obama’s, more Keynesianism.

If Romney wins, 55% will be optimistic about the future economy in mid-November, and the S&P average will be soaring.
Steve Z on June 18, 2012 at 2:29 PM

You owe me a new keyboard champ. And God forbid he wins, I will be selling worthless calls to you cons who think the market will soar under Sketch.

Smart money already has those calls written and ready to go for you wingnuts to gobble up if America makes the mistake of hiring the coreless fool.

They would have been better off taking Bill Clinton’s advice instead of throwing him under the campaign bus this month, and they’ve effectively neutered the one surrogate that actually had a record of economic success on which to base his support for Obama.

Why would the smartest campaigner who ever drew a breath listen to “senile” Bill Clinton? Our faux brainiac deeply believes in his unmatched brilliance.

Will Hillary campaign for the Emperor after he excoriated her as a racist? Will Bill? Only if they want to go down with the ship. Smart dems will now begin to work hard with the GOP to appear reasonable, hoping to hang on to their seats.

The more bad weeks that Obama has, the more optimistic I am about the long-range prospects for the economy …

As bad as Obama has been, Hillary wouldn’t have been any better.

Stop trying to tell voters they’re doing better, offer an optimistic sense of how, if re-elected, you would lead America to more prosperous times, and challenge Republicans with specifics.

Huh? Barry only has the Socialist Play Book. He has no other options. What’s he going to do, insist on another “Stimulus”? Just look for recycled speeches.

As for Hillary! – HA! She hates his guts.

Those who would vote for a Communist, don’t give a damn about the state of the economy. Their only concern is that they have voted for one who would provide for them and, in return, they are willing to surrender any concept of liberty and indivualism – and serve him.

If the economy utterly collapsed, these Communists would still vote for Obamuh.

The economy is irrelevant to them. Their only concern is that the man that they vote for – will “take care of us.”

OhEssYouCowboys on June 18, 2012 at 1:31 PM

If they were smart, they would elect Republicans, simply for the fact that a booming economy would make everyone forget about these people. Their current way of thinking will have to change at some point with Obama type leaders, since the country will run out of other peoples money much sooner. They aren’t smart though, or they would realize that making a living isn’t that hard (under normal circumstances) and they don’t have to grovel to some government stooge for all their needs.
