But, but everyone I know is voting against him!

Is this the thread where all the water carriers for the Greedy Old Party™ come a' harrumphing about their magic kneegrow being way better than our magic kneegrow cause "pizza = executive experience!1!1"?

I don't think anyone thought the GOP was going to retake the Presidency this round, but they seem hellbent on sinking everyone downticket as well.

People are looking at the alternative and the jokes of candidates they have. The only one that isn't a complete laughing stock is Romney.

The problem with Romney for independents is that every day he changes his stances.

The problem with Romney for conservatives is that he is Mormon.

Excellent. +1 internets to you

Headso: People are looking at the alternative and the jokes of candidates they have. The only one that isn't a complete laughing stock is Romney.

The punchline to that joke is that Republican bigotry won't allow them to vote for someone whose brand of Christianity they see as "wrong". They'll put their votes behind a 3rd party or they'll just stay home.

Generic Republican is a farking asshole right now, that's why.

I was pissed at Republicans during the 2008 election so I voted almost straight Democrat. I figured everything would sort itself out and cooler heads would prevail to pull the U.S. out of its slump. Instead, the GOP doubled-down and when loony in 2010. Honestly. Have y'all seen the Freshmen politicians the Republicans brought in for after the 2010 election? Assholes. The lot of of 'em.

So once again, I'm going to shuffle my ass out to the polls like I did in 2008, so I don't have to deal with anymore of the bullshiat.

Quick republicans, better do something else to sabotage the economy! It's your only chance!

Herman Cain will win the primary, drop out of the general, and leave Obama to run against a far-right independent. Obama will take all the states, and there will be Democratic landslides in the House and Senate as well.

WizardofToast: The problem with Romney for conservatives is that he is Mormon.

And that he's from the Northeast in a Southern Party.

And that he's a blueblood in a populist environment.

And that he's been on record or voted for gun control, abortion rights, gay rights, stricter environmental controls, federal healthcare mandates, immigration amnesty .. with a party base that REALLY hates all those things (at least when a black man from Team Donkey advocates them).

"The dummy candidate" really? That's kind of a rude thing to call Mitt Romney.

WizardofToast: The problem with Romney for independents is that every day he changes his stances.

Yeah I agree that he appears to more so than other candidates but it always happens where a candidate will play to the base during the primary then change his tune later on. So on that front I don't think he'd have a problem. The fact that the conservative base, like you said, has a bigotry issue might mean they won't go out and stump for the guy and knock on doors and whatnot so his ground game will suffer.

Really?? because I've heard a lot of:

How's that hopey changey thing working out for ya
A lot of people have woken up and realized who this man is
A lot of voters are having buyers remorse
America is sick to death of this man's failed policies
The 2010 elections have proven that ___________________

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

I don't think it's so much that Obama has done shiat (he hasn't) so much as the voters realizing that the majority of the Republican candidates are worse than genital crabs.

They're chosing the lesser of two evils, the devil they know.

I thought the GOP was going with the dummy candidate? It's all dummy candidates in the primary.

Surge is okay but I prefer Jolt.

I won't vote "against him"
I only vote for somebody

This "vote against" is what the GOP seems to me to be counting on and I hate it. Way to diminish the democratic system, jerks.

You GOPpers and teabaggers are farked. Your candidate clown show is making even John Kerry look electable, and he never had a chance.

I thought they were running dummy candidates.

You know, some people might say that it's been said that...

I don't even really blame Obama for most of this stuff, but just about the entire government can go DIAF for all I care now.

Mainstream Republican: I may be retarded, but at least I'm consistently retarded.

Mainstream Democrat: I may cling to failed, discredited ideas, but at least I'm not a Republican.

Once Dumbocraps feast their eyes on a REAL Black man like Herman Cain, they will be falling all over themselves to elect him.

You want a job, right?

mrshowrules: the only hope for the GOP is to go with a dummy candidate

So, pretty much any of them, then?

I am curious to know what free republic will be like if Obama wins a second term.

I recall reading some posts from there with heavy birther influence saying the supreme court had decided to let him finish his term but were going to quietly pull him aside and tell him not to run again if he didn't want to appear in the history books as a president with an asterix by his name.

What sort of conspiracy theories will be unleashed by a second obama term?

Sock Ruh Tease: Herman Cain will win the primary, drop out of the general, and leave Obama to run against a far-right independent.

I don't see that happening. If there is any independent in the race, he or she will come out of the Scarborough/Bloomberg camp.

Fallacy of tradition sometimes. Fallacy of novelty sometimes. RON PAUL!
