defeat Obama and everything he stands for

By electing the guy who signed a permanent Assault Weapons Ban into law, provided a template for Obamacare while he was governor, and dodged the draft by doing "missionary work" in Paris?

Way to go Republicans.

The upcoming election will be one of the simplest of our lifetimes. It is defined by one axiom: Obama must be defeated.


...and this is precisely when I stop listening to anything else you have to say. You're so blindly partisan, none of your opinions can really be considered objective or useful.

NateGrey: The Freepers have called their banner men and want a truce.

I like that you can apparently get banned on FR for publicly supporting Romney.

I'm a little worried what happens if Obama wins a second term. These people are almost certainly going to snap and go on shooting sprees.

Fark It: defeat Obama and everything he stands for

By electing the guy who signed a permanent Assault Weapons Ban into law, provided a template for Obamacare while he was governor, and dodged the draft by doing "missionary work" in Paris?

Way to go Republicans.

Yeah, but he didn't really mean all of those things. He's a severely conservative guy at heart.

This crap is exactly what's getting me to vote Democrat this year, across the board. The Republicans became so simple minded and obsessed with trying to stymie every single thing that Obama did, they neglected and ignored the fact that something had to get done, and that concessions are a necessity. They have flat out disgusted me.

All that said, I'm a firm believer in situations where if one party has the oval office, I prefer to see house and senate filled by the opposing party. From what I've seen, this keeps one party ideology from getting too full of itself. This time around? I hope every one of those farks gets removed. Even if they don't like HOW it gets done, right now we need to fix a lot of shiat, and if you've got everyone pissing and moaning over what brand of screw driver to use and should it be a phillips head or flat, then nothing gets fixed.

nekom: Mugato: I get that feeling too. Of course the lunatic fringe would vote for a werewolf just to vote against Obama but I think a lot of swing voters who dislike both won't bother. Advantage: Obama.

On top of that, the conservative base doesn't really seem excited in the least over Romney. Unless something very drastic happens, I predict Obama will essentially walk into a second term.

Meh. It may be a little closer race than that, but I think you're essentially right. And if the GOP feels all butt-hurt when that happens, they only have themselves to blame. With the economy in the crapper and unemployment high, it would normally be easy to oust an incumbent. All they had to do was produce a marginally electable candidate and they could have phoned this one in. And the best they could come up with...? Romney. The Republican John Kerry. And a Mormon to boot, in a party where evangelical Christians make up their base.

Anyone not in a coma.

Real Clear Politics electoral college map.

Presently:
161 Likely Obama
92 Leans Obama
115 Toss-up
39 Leans Romney
170 Likely Romney

Just to be clear on where Obama is pushing Romney to defend, the "leans Romney" states are presently GA, MT, IN, and SC. Two states that can't figure out if they want Confederate flags on their official buildings aren't solidly in Romney's corner at this time. Romney was only +7 in last week's poll of got-damn Montana. Plus, that poll was conducted by Rasmussen, which had the largest Republican bias (poll vs. voting results) of any polling firm during the last election cycle.

Also, we're presently at the point in the election cycle where the incumbent is at a disadvantage-- his opponents have been attacking him for months while he was basically not campaigning. They were buying the lion's share of the TV ads, getting most of the interviews, etc. Obama's just now turning his election machinery up to full.

Buy hey, if you really think Romney's got this locked up, inTrade will let you buy contracts at 36 right now. Almost 2:1 odds if you want to put your money where your posts are.

Gird our loins and hump the floor?

The only thing of importance is to defeat Obama and everything he stands for.

You guys, sure, Romney may have stood for abortion rights and gay marriage and public-option healthcare and careful regulation of industry before, but he's totally different now, OK? I'm serious, he's totally different than Obama. I mean, look at the two of them.

Is Romney the robotic Hourman from the 853rd century?

I also love the American Thinker, because they cater to people who can't think for themselves. They just put the word thinker in their name to make their drones feel smart when they are told what to feel.

Jackson Herring: Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! Tax cuts! Tax cuts! Tax cuts! Forth Éorlingas!

Diogenes: Obama is now toying, in his response to the Trayvon matter, with mass racial confrontation.

Yes, Obama's the racist. And you're racist if you think otherwise.

What a bunch of tools. As evidenced by NateGrey's link. Palin 2016.

She's failed you twice, now. Third time's the charm? Riiiiight.

It doesn't make sense for 12% of the population to rise up and start a race war with the remaining 88%?

You should be a lot more afraid, horde some guns.

hubiestubert: That is a ringing endorsement...

It's a second-term election, historically you don't really win those, you just try not to fall behind and pray the incumbent makes a truly epic fumble and self-destructs his campaign. Even if they weren't running an even more boring version of Kerry, I doubt a lot of them would be terribly excited. This part of the cycle is mostly about congressional and local campaigns, traditionally.

I think now is the appropriate time - I will actually be happy to vote for Obama. I mean, I will complete that arrow next to Obama's name and get a sense of "yeah, actually this is gonna keep the country going in the right direction. I'm glad I'm a part of trying to get this guy to stay in office."

Compare that with your "For good or ill, Romney is the man of the hour." Yeah (R)'s, you grit your teeth and bend over while filling out your arrows.

That requires you to pay attention and think. You overestimate a good deal of the US population, unfortunately.

If the majority of people in this country could gather and interpret information on their own campaign ads would be an enormous waste of money...

what_now: So, I drove through Southern NH yesterday, and I saw about 6 Romney signs, a handful of RONPAUL and a very confused Herman Cain sign.

Four years ago at this time, the lawns were in full bloom with McCain signs....and McCain *still* lost NH.

Good Jerb, GOP.

Here in NoVA where I still see the occasional McCain/Palin sticker (with the McCain part either crossed off or cut out entirely) I haven't seen a single Romney sign. I've seen several RONPAUL and a Santorum here and there, though.

It's also a bit of a sign of desperation. It's why `anybody but Bush' didn't work in 2004 and it won't work here either. You need a lot more than "NOT X" to win an election, you need a "Y INSTEAD" component. The GOP is going to take a bath big time this year, I think anyone who is paying attention can see this.

That's the funny bit. "ANYBODY BUT BUSH" didn't work when most people genuinely knew Bush was horrible. I doubt "ANYBODY BUT OBAMA" will work when a lot of people actually still like Obama (on a personal level, at least).

I live in Leesburg, which is technically just outside the borders of Nova, and therefore part of Red VA. Both Obama and Plain staged rallies here last time, Plain drew about 5-10K max, Obama's rally was 50,000+ even if the street leading up to Ida Lee Park (where the rally was) was all million-dollar homes with McCain signs placed out front.

I have yet to see a single Romney sign anywhere, but Obama signs are starting to bloom

Lots of Romney signs here is north central florida. then again if you live outside the city and put up an obama sign you should expect bullet holes in them. I actually had my sign burned last time. Some neighbors will no longer talk to me or acknowledge my presence.

The Democrats seriously had the worst candidates in 2004, it's almost like they weren't even trying. I remember thinking at one point that John Edwards was the best of the bunch, but he didn't seem to have an ability to say anything other than his standard Two Americas rehash.

I liked Dean. Sad that he got crucified for saying "YEAH!" at a rally.

From their Comments:

"I also disagree with the assertion that the W()n cannot destroy the US. Sure, not singlehandedly, but he has many willing allies. What is destroying the US is years of lib indoctrination translated in generations of people who refuse to think and make cause-and-effect connections, who seek instant gratification and nanny-state, consequences be damned. It is the sheer number of these people (and increasing exponentially under the W()n) that is destroying the US. he is just a manifestation and embodiment of that problem"

Can anyone tell me what W()N is?

Iblis824: Can anyone tell me what W()N is?

Just a guess: it's a reference to "the One" except they didn't want to use the letter O.

Apparently I mistook what the author call a "master campaigner" for a shamelessly lying, out of touch, mega rich private equity guy who made is money largely by destroying American jobs.

How could anyone be a toss-up at this point? I'm not questioning your stats, I believe them I just don't know how anyone could be on the fence one way or the other. There's nothing more to know about either candidate.

RCP is saying that according to the polling, a number of states are toss-ups because the polling is too close to call.

Specifically, this is their list of 'toss-up' states, and how many electoral votes each gets:
Arizona (11)
Colorado (9)
Florida (29)
Iowa (6)
Missouri (10)
New Hampshire (4)
North Carolina (15)
Ohio (18)
Virginia (13)

Unless Romney starts winning the "lean Obama" states (presently ME, MI, MN, NV, NJ, NM, OR, PA, WI), he more or less has to run the table with that first list, because Obama presently needs only 17 EV from it.

Anything can happen between now and November. But if the election was tomorrow, InTrade odds on Obama would be better than 10:1.

Am I the only one who finds it kind of funny that Massachusetts is a "likely Obama" and Michigan is a "leans Obama"? Seems almost like the people who know him best don't want anything to do with him.

Well for what it's worth, I liked Bush on a personal level at least. Seemed like a nice enough guy, just not quite smart enough to run the show.

Obama has that going on even more so. He's one of the most likable Presidents since Bill Clinton was in office. He's personable, charismatic and has a beautiful family. People who don't like him at least on a personal level are trying very hard not to. On top of that, the economy could be worse and he took out bin laden. I really think he's just going to run away with this thing, I don't expect it to even be close. But then, I've been wrong before.

Not the compliment you seemed to intend it to be. :P

Nate Silver has been making the case that if you go just by the hard numbers (unemployment rate, GDP, etc.), it looks grim for the President. However, all of those historical trends assume an average opponent, and Romney isn't even liked by his own party. The charisma gap is going to get worse as we approach the debates and large campaign rallies. Romney's a good-looking guy, but he's otherwise on the wrong end of the Nixon-Kennedy 1960 debate comparison. And you'd be hard-pressed to find a recent candidate who gave the kind of speeches that Obama did in 2008.

Romney hasn't even had to work that hard yet-- his primary opponents would have been laughed off the stage in any other year. GW Bush at least had to beat the 2000 edition of McCain-- a guy who was a very credible candidate 8 years later (on the wrong side of the aging curve) until he flushed it down the toilet by picking Palin as a veep. In contrast, just a few months ago, Romney was falling behind guys like Herman Cain and Rick Perry. Donald Trump was a serious possibility at one point. Michele Bachmann got 14% of the vote at one point.

GAT_00: I'm a little worried what happens if Obama wins a second term. These people are almost certainly going to snap and go on shooting sprees.

I'm going on vacation next month, and I plan to include DC in my travels. I'm seriously starting to believe that this will be my last chance to go there, because no matter who wins the election, by November 7th Washington will in all likelihood be burning.

Right, because, as you said, he isn't liked by his party. The other candidates were just a string of "not-Romney's" that entered the race one by one. And one by one they raced to the front on a "sweet, this person is not Romney" fervor and one by one, the Republican base learned what each of these challengers actually believes so they retreated to "ah fark, guess I better go back to Romney."

The Romney campaign even gets this, they are not running on issues. They are not running a pro-Romney campaign. They are running against Obama, they are running an anti-Obama campaign. No one is going to vote for Romney but there are all sorts of people who will vote against Obama.

Magorn: Conclusion: Romney is really behind the 8 ball starting out.

First, I don't think anyone would claim that RealClearPolitics leans left. Some people claim the opposite, but I can give them the benefit of the doubt and call them relatively unbiased for these purposes.

What's killing me is that they don't think Romney has GA/SC/MT locked up. They're "likely" Romney. If Romney even has to spend money in GA to keep it away from "toss-up" territory, it's going to be a very long 2012 for him. If Gingrich goes bonkers and rails against Romney in the one state he still has any pull in, Romney may have to do that to combat the "stay home" factor.

I don't think Romney will lose GA. But if his campaign wasn't such a disaster, no one would even be asking that question.

Magorn: And the most amusing part of it all is that they call themselves "FREE" Republic and think they are the last bastion of independent thought on the planet.

Eventually the entire conservative movement will boil down to just Rush Limbaugh, Jonah Goldberg and the Ronald Reagan shaped cookie jar holding Breitbart's ashes siting all alone together in one room with a reeeeeally uncomfortable silence.

lennavan: The Romney campaign even gets this, they are not running on issues. They are not running a pro-Romney campaign. They are running against Obama, they are running an anti-Obama campaign. No one is going to vote for Romney but there are all sorts of people who will vote against Obama.

This is the John Kerry strategy, however.

In 2004, the Republicans were on the right side of the charisma gap. Even most people who hated Bush would probably agree that if he stayed a baseball owner instead of becoming a politician, he would have probably been a well-liked figure. On the flip side, even people who voted for Kerry tended to think he was boring and awkward. Many didn't even think he was the best of the available options. They were counting on the strong dislike of Bush's policy decisions to sink him, but it's hard to get your side to the polls when you don't/can't talk about what your candidate would do.

The election cycle is going to change the airwaves-- there's going to be the same number of "Obama is bad!" ads that you see already, but you're also going to see a lot of Obama talking. And moderates who watch him talk tend to like him.

nekom: chimp_ninja: Romney's a good-looking guy, but he's otherwise on the wrong end of the Nixon-Kennedy 1960 debate comparison. And you'd be hard-pressed to find a recent candidate who gave the kind of speeches that Obama did in 2008.

It's going to be a problem trying to make the claim that he can in any way connect with average people. I think that's what it's going to boil down to. At least Obama used to be poor.

I think the less Romney says about any event in his life prior to becoming Governor of MA, the better it is for him. It's just not the right narrative for a down economy. Heck, he probably doesn't want to mention his time as Governor, what with all the health care reform, pro-choice talk, etc. He'll probably just have to programmed to pretend that the current version rolled off an assembly line in 2011.

To: MNlurker; Jim Robinson
I don't think I have seen a single freeper that selected Romney as their first choice. I am a Newt Supporter, but to answer your question, let me make further comparisons between Romney and the Kenyan by asking you to consider the following questions: Which candidate has a deep-seated visceral hatred for America? Which candidate has a similar hatred for White Americans? Which candidate is not just a supporter of "gays", but has exhibited such deviant behavior? Which candidate is a closet Muslim? Which candidate supports Muslim operations around the world? Which candidate has a spouse that shares the same hatred? Which candidate most hates free enterprise? Which candidate has actually earned much of his way to the top of his field and which has had everything delivered in his lap because of the race? Which candidate allies himself with marxist pigs, known terrorists, and open racists? And finally, and most importantly, which candidate has a corrupt old media on his side and has a well-planned plot to divide his opposition by making sure his opponents split their ticket, thereby assuring his second term? I will not fall for this demRAT-trap.

Lulz! Not only is Obama a Kenyan marxist communist gay racist terrorist Muslim...but he's ALSO responsible for the GOP's horrible performance in their primaries and for the fact that they are stuck with a horrible candidate.

I never knew Obama wielded such power with his Kenyan Marxist communist muslim Quebecois hoopdiedoo radish papist voodoo stick.

Seems to me like the Illegal-Hawaiian-Kenyan Commie-Constitution-Destroyer Gay-Friendly Secret-Muslim-Anti-Christ has done nothing.
Republicans are yet again poking into their own chaotic ants-nest.... And PLEASE go on!
We just have to watch them self-destruct. Comedy Gold!!

At the height of the Santorum's primary campaign, Romney managed to outdo him by the stratagem of sending one of his sons to campaign in the Marianas, picking up 9 delegates and added momentum... It's a swashbuckler's move, bold and imaginative in a way that we haven't seen much of in recent years.

The same is true of the killer instinct, which Romney undoubtedly possesses, in contrast to just about every other visible candidate. Also beyond doubt is his ability to control it. He knows exactly how hard to strike, where, and how many times, with the precision and finesse of a 17th-century samurai.

Thus far, Romney has gone through the campaign like a tank in a thousand-dollar suit -- accepting no opposition, turning away from no obstacles. He just keeps rolling.

Bill_Wick's_Friend: MaudlinMutantMollusk: You get your loins anywhere near me and they're going to get a good swift kick

That is the funniest thread I've read in a long long time.

One gem:

I don't think I have seen a single freeper that selected Romney as their first choice. I am a Newt Supporter, but to answer your question, let me make further comparisons between Romney and the Kenyan by asking you to consider the following questions: Which candidate has a deep-seated visceral hatred for America? Which candidate has a similar hatred for White Americans? Which candidate is not just a supporter of "gays", but has exhibited such deviant behavior? Which candidate is a closet Muslim? Which candidate supports Muslim operations around the world? Which candidate has a spouse that shares the same hatred? Which candidate most hates free enterprise? Which candidate has actually earned much of his way to the top of his field and which has had everything delivered in his lap because of the race? Which candidate allies himself with marxist pigs, known terrorists, and open racists? And finally, and most importantly, which candidate has a corrupt old media on his side and has a well-planned plot to divide his opposition by making sure his opponents split their ticket, thereby assuring his second term? I will not fall for this demRAT-trap.


Lulz! Not only is Obama a Kenyan marxist communist gay racist terrorist Muslim...but he's ALSO responsible for the GOP's horrible performance in their primaries and for the fact that they are stuck with a horrible candidate.

I never knew Obama wielded such power with his Kenyan Marxist communist muslim Quebecois hoopdiedoo radish papist voodoo stick.

Ok, seriously? The guy whose father was a well-known politician, who inherited millions, and who got even richer by bankrupting companies with other people's investments, who has been sitting on a pile of blood money being an (unsuccessful) political campaigner for the past decade, is the one who worked his way to where he was?

While the black kid with a hippy mom and a deadbeat dad, who just barely qualifies as a millionaire, who purportedly can't afford to throw private parties at the White House anymore, got where he was because of his race?

One of these guys appears to have been born lucky and failed upward (and out of his league at this point), while the other looks like he worked his ass off to get where he was and still faces problems the average American would recognize (discrimination, debt, etc). Wonder which one is which?

AirForceVet: wedun: I'm an oklahoma democrat, pretty liberal, and I still for the life of me cannot understand why Obama has taken the country down the path it's been going. Forcibly diving us with class warfare, I'm worried that the democrat party is losing it's way. Oh well I don't see anyone else to support this election since hillary isn't going to run again.

Sorry, you only got 1/10 from me. And I was being generous. Claiming to be a liberal Democrat in Oklahoma, using a common Republican sound bite of "class warfare," and having your Fark bio location as "Centreville, VA." Please.

shoulda made an alt.

lennavan: The Democrat Party has lost its way but in a completely different manner than you are imagining.

I follow you completely, it's the Hijacking of the Party by Cultural Marxists and Violent Anarchists (occupy movement) and thier propoganda channel (MSNBC)

It's a shame that real liberal democrats, like the ones in my home state of Oklahoma, don't have anybody they can vote for (like hillary) and instead we have to settle for class warfare raised your taxes donesn't respect the troops Obama.

Was the author going for an Onion type angle?

I'm serious. In the first few paragraphs he says that Obama is not exactly as bad as 9/11, despite that fact that he is supposedly inciting race riots.

No one really would publish such tripe as their sole motivation for voting Romney, right?

GAT_00: I'm a little worried what happens if Obama wins a second term. These people are almost certainly going to snap and go on shooting sprees.

Nothing is going to happen. The majority of right-wing loudmouths are all talk and bluster online.

Ow! My Loins!

Romney: Magic Underwear™

lennavan: HeartBurnKid: Am I the only one who finds it kind of funny that Massachusetts is a "likely Obama" and Michigan is a "leans Obama"? Seems almost like the people who know him best don't want anything to do with him.

There's something I'm missing here. Why would Massachusetts and Michigan be the people who know him best?

Sorry, screwed up my post. The people who know Romney best don't want anything to do with him.

BINGO!

research romneys history, and see what he did to michigan and the workers....
count me an Obama supporter as long as romney is on the ticket...

And do you know who else was man of the hour?

This election will be called for Obama by 10pm on election night. He'll win it running away and the Republicans deserve it. I expected more from Mitt, if nothing else I thought one of his handlers would try to get him fired up somehow, but after his initial announcement on that farm in New Hampshire, the guy is just a snooze. RON PAUL is nuts, but at least he's passionate.

I agree with the farkers who have said this is a reverse "Anybody but Bush". I agree that like 2004, it will also backfire.

Also, I have to say I'm kinda tired of the infants on both sides. Some of you guys could be a little nicer to each other and actually have debates rather than name-calling, you coonts.

(Yeah, yeah, welcometofark.jpg. Save it. I've been here for 9 years and I'd be stunned if I had 50 posts. I know it won't happen, but I can ask.)

I'd also like to apologize for the Tea Party. They're terrible and one of the reasons for the GOP's downfall. I propose a Thunderdome-style deathmatch with Occupy. Whoever loses, we all win.

But you still don't have a 4 digit acct. number!

nyaaaa nyaaaaaaaaaaa!

I'm a liberal democrat from Oklahoma (voted for Reagan) and I too am disgusted with the tea party and the occupy movement. The Tea party is rabidly anti-medicare, and the Occupy movement is just a bunch of violent radical anarchists totalitarians. *sigh* if only hillary clinton were running for the democrat nomination, the country would be better off.

It's a swashbuckler's move,

What? Are we to imagine that Romney buckles his own swashes now?

Come on, you know he's got people for that.

So basically the GOP are painfully aware they don't any kind of positive record to run on so they are just gonna herp their "Everything Obama did, does and is thinking of doing in the future was, is and forever will be WRONG" derp and hope for the best?

/Sorry, I said "hope", didn't I.
