2012 Presidential Election (free for all edition)

When I went to go see James Carville speak in late spring when asked what would be the smartest pick for Mitt at VP, Carville didnt hesitate, Paul Ryan. He said it was an easy choice and a very smart pick. I tend to agree and think it will bring independents over.

Have you been hanging with Fred and Trent lately?


Romney has just lost the elderly vote and anybody on SS/Medicare/Medicaid.

Here is this idiot at a town hall meeting trying to peddle the "Trickle Down" economics to the locals and apparently they aren't having any of it.

He's the typical conservative "give rich all the money, take away from the poor, need more wars" douche bag this country DOES NOT need. **** this guy, and **** the GOP for even trying to peddle these assclowns. It's sad the conservatives have been reduced to this. Can we get McCain back?...lol

I was not aware that our government is supposed to ration its money out to social classes. Silly me.

Never pegged you as liberal leaning NC. I like you more now. :)

Really though, this election year has me kinda worried. I'm afraid of what this country's working and middle class is going to look like under a Romney run White House. Both from an economical and social standpoint.I know you're too young to remember the 80s and were a kid in the Clinton 90s, I wouldn't be concerned for the mid class economically. Romney / Ryan will put a financial plan in place that eases regulation and jump starts the economy. Having a solid fiscal plan for the country will get the billions in corporatev money sitting on the sidelines back into business expansion....creating middle class jobs. It is a stretch to see Rs gaining the Senate, so you will have balance against a GOP WH from Congress.. In the last 30 yrs the most prosperous times were with moderate POTUS and opposite party controlling Congress.

Socially, won't be any changes, too many economic/foreign policy issues totackle. Any far-right proposals would be shot down in Senate.

My problem with Obama has been a lack of an aggressive plan to confront the economy. Off the top of your head, name his stratedies? Stimulus and Cut the Bush tax cut for the wealthy. Nothing really after that. I think the Stimulus impact was limited...but we need something else. I really dont see a plan in place or for the future. I like several things Obama has accomplished: most, not all of the health care plan, out of iraq and killed major terrorists including the big guy, and his approach to Egypt and Libya. But I think he has missed opportunites on the economy, and this probably gonna cost him the election.

President Obama:

I/we will not rest…

– until we are succeeding in generating the jobs this economy needs.
– until businesses are investing again, businesses are hiring again.
– until we build an economy that‘s ready for America’s future.
– until every American who is ready and able finds a job.

That is my biggest concern. The ironic thing about the GOP is that they want to reduce spending on entitlements like Welfare which I agree with. And I can even respect stuff like reducing federal funding for abortion because in the end thats reducing spending.

However at the same time they want to reduce access to birth control, proper sex education, and they don't want to allow gay couples to adopt kids from the US. The above mention things reduce the need for Welfare as unplanned kids and kids in foster care are why a lot of people need welfare in the first place.

Also reducing funding for education is the real world equivalent of trading draft picks for over the hill veterans. I mean sure that bodes well for me if the upcoming workforce isn't properly educated but eventually it's going to kill us in the global economy where many of the countries we're competing with are investing in education and as a result putting through a more qualified and talented work force. And we wonder why companies want to outsource?

In general I agree with a lot of the fiscal things the GOP is trying to do but like many things in life they shouldn't go unchecked.

Its going to be so great when they take the office back in a few months. I see you just can't wait.

Honestly I don't see how they're going to do it. They're attacking the Obama administration with kid gloves, they don't have a clear plan outlined instead running on the fact that they aren't Obama, and they have a notorious flip flopper as their nominee. In other words it's scary how much Romney reminds me of John Kerry.

Plus they're getting killed in the polls and falling behind in key battleground states. We're also seeing seniors and latinos leaning towards Obama (ie Florida).

Right now Obama is the safe bet to win the election. I mean for goodness sake he's 9 points ahead in a Fox News poll.

Romney has little to no chance.
