If the Presidential Election was Today...

[death dealer]

Shake your head all you want. If the black voters don't come out this year, but come out again in record numbers when Obama is up for election it is pretty clear that there is "reverse racism" going on.

Why are you wasting your youth on this bullshit? Z's a paranoid blockhead who solely votes with his checkbook. He'd elect Hitler if he ran a "No New Taxes" campaign.
Let old fucks like Z, Hogan and Tman waste their little precious time they have left on this crap and go live your life for god's sake.

And the average African American voter would vote for Charles Manson if he were also an African American. Fact. It's all just a fucking joke anyway.

It will be quite interesting to see how many black voters there are in this cycle compared to the presidential election last cycle and what their turnout is like next cycle.

Obama just met with a lot of black leaders and told them to get the vote out for the mid-terms. The sheep will follow.

The Democrats need to forcefully remind the American public that is was the Republicans FAILED economic policies that created this mess. More of the same from the Republicans will only make things worse.

So they've taken failed economic policies and put them on **** STEROIDS and we're supposed to just enjoy the ride?

You conk apologists need to realize that the economy over the past 30 years has been very good for the rich in America. If you're not one of them, you clearly need to quit whining and work harder.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, Republicans will just point out this set of facts as a rebuttal to that argument:

•In January 2007 before the Democrats took over Congress, unemployment was 4.6 percent; now it's 9.6 percent.
•In January 2007 there were 7.1 million unemployed people in America; now there are 14.9 million.
•In January 2007 the median home price was $210,600; today it's $179,300.
•In January 2007 the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 12,500; today it's at 10,840.
•In January 2007 the gross federal debt was $9 trillion; today it's $13.5 trillion.
•The poverty rate in 2006 was 12.3 percent; now it's 14.3 percent
•In the final budget created by a GOP-controlled Congress, the deficit was $160 billion; now it's $1.6 trillion.

And most people will buy it.

Dude has no concept of "spillover". It all started in the reign of Bush, Mort.

I think the republicans may benefit from the tea party enthusiasm during the mid terms but assuming the atmosphere remains the same in 2012 the republicans are going to have a tough time fielding a candidate that works. the establishment isn't going to give up easily and Romney would probably be their pick. Once conservatives look at Romney's record, they are going to have heartburn for months with him. On the other hand, most of the tea party type candidates just don't look like serious presidential contenders and the conservative candidates that seem serious have little presidential pizzazz. 2012 is a long time off.

Christie.

The more I see of Christie, the more I like him!

It will be great for the country if the Tea Party supports lots of successful candidates in the mid terms, because the establishment politicians left and right need to be shaken out of their smug arrogance. But I have yet to see the Tea Party leader (or the Democrat, Republican or Libertarian) who, as President, can bring the country together and set a course of genuine liberty and prosperity.

Whatever spillover Obama inherited was from the economic disruption created by war and terrorist attacks and by bubbles created by government intervention in the housing and credit markets, NOT from any inherent inferiority of free enterprise as asserted by Democrats, progressives, socialists and communists. Democrats and Republicans alike are responsible for the bubbles.

Obama's fundamental misunderstanding of basic economics and misplaced anti-colonial worldview have led to counterproductive domestic and foreign policy "solutions" that have only made the Demopublican status quo even worse.

A super majority is always a bad thing.

The Democrat Congressional supermajority under Obama has certainly been an unmitigated disaster, and single party control of both Congress and the White House has often been a bad thing. Single party control during the Bush years was indeed bad, but the split control during the last years of the Bush presidency was arguably worse.

A super majority might be a bad thing again in 2012, but a Tea Party Congress with a RINO president like Romney, who could bring people together, might be a great thing.

Won't disagreee with you on that point. The problem is that Obama doubled and tripled down on the Bush policies that created this mess in the first place.

He also inherited Wall Street's mess courtesy of Clinton and the Republican controlled congress that repealed Glass-Steagal.

BTW, you should drop the anti-colonial world view talking point - I'm sure the conks have moved on to something better.
