Hope and Change 2010

Only one slight problem with your suggestion. His ego won't let him go that route, period.

Why you want four more years of this clown taking your bank account and dollar value to the outhouse?

You that blind?

Seriously think about going Tea Party.

I fail to see the difference between your clown taking my money or my clown taking my money other than the fact that my clown takes it for issues that I tend to agree with more than your clowns issues. Bottom line is they will both take our money.

David Stockman gave an interesting interview on 60min last weekend. Worth a listen/read.

One stat he quoted was that in 1980, 5% of the people had NW of $8 trillion dollars. Today that number jumped to $40 trillion. That strikes me as a some what substantial amount and would indicate that something is seriously flawed with the tax system in the US. I also have to question why the top tax bracket would need an additional cut in taxes when Mr. Buffet has stated several times that his secretary pays a higher percentage in taxes than he does.

Well Dell, by your own admission(and I'm not prepared to say you will be wrong), the TP wont be in a position to put up Anyone electable in 12'. (Further down the line we'll see)

"Hands Down"..."right now", the only person who's ELECTABLE, and the "complete package" to deal with ISSUES on BOTH SIDES Is Hillary.
It wouldn't break my heart if she were to run in 12' !
Rest assured, that if she doesn't run in 12'.....sooner rather than later, Me and YOU are going to have to "deal with her", because she's not going away anytime soon.

PS, HC is who I "pulled the lever for" in the 08' primary's .

I cannot remember the last time a sitting first term president was contested. So I do not see Ms Clinton running for POTUS. I can see her replacing Biden on the ticket. I think Obama should suggest that the TP be given leadership positions in the House and a place at the table. I would love to see Boehner talk his way out of that one. Then the people can see how the TP republicans will work on a large scale.

Carter 1980. George H.W. Bush 1992.

Carter 1980. George H.W. Bush 1992.

I do not recall primaries involving either Carter or Bush. Who ran against them?

 

[southwind]

This was not so much a "Pro-GOP" vote as it was a "Get the current administration out of total control, before they run this country into the ground, no matter who we put in their place" vote !

 

[nicky guy]

Well if the TP was to "jog" the mainstream GOP back to being a " B I T " more conservative, I suppose that may not be a bad thing.
However, it been shown many times, that a medium hard to hard line conservative cannot win.
Example; A scatter brained former governor from the north country !

Google is your friend.

Ted Kennedy challenged Carter and Pat Buchanan ran against G.H.W. Bush.

If the republicans would actually be financially conservative that would be half the battle. The thing that leaves a nasty taste with me is their social engineering holier than thou attitude. I think the first party that can figure out how to balance a check book and stay out of peoples lives will have a land slide.

Neither party knows how to say no to spending and both disagree on what would be better to send on. The republicans have the religious zealots on their back trying to stick their nose onto every bloody facet of our lives. They both make me want to take a shower.

I guess I was thinking of a full blown contest like the last POTUS election. I know there are always questions of who should run but I assume the sitting POTUS will get the nomination of their party. I have not searched but I cannot recall a sitting POTUS being denied a second bite at the apple. There are times when I hate Google lol

Its Not Quantum Physics, .....seriously .

People like PALIN, or PELOSI are NOT Electable for the top spot EVER.
Conversely, given the right atmosphere at the time, ...People like the Clintons, or Romney etc, ARE Electable !!

(see I told you it wasn't Quantum Physics) !

I do not see the christian right getting behind a Mormon. The religion thing would sink him IMO.

Yes, I agree with you....(though I'm Equally just as Concerned over some potential non Morman GOP candidates as I might be about Romney) If you look RIGHT NOW on the GOP bench, the Only 2 people who could have a possible shot at being electable in 12' is Romney, or former MN. Governor Pawlenty.

To even think that the likes of Palin, Newt(and his marital baggage) or that ol' Mississippi Mush Mouth good ol' boy Haley Barbour(Dear GOD the man Cannot SPEAK proper English), is absolutely laughable !

My following prediction (should it come true) will Speak volumes about the weakness of the GOP, and that prediction is that BO will get re-elected (against all odds), in 12'.

Romney is a jerk...too boy scoutish for me. Plus he worships the same God as Glenn Beck.
