Your only excuses on that fiasco were ignorance or stupidity. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not just a blathering moron. I guess I was wrong.

LOL at the repubs even trying to preach tolerance on any level. They hate gays, any non white christian people (including Obama who is their main target), any religion that can not be called christian right up front with no question, they hate the poor (like the ones cleaning up their crap every nite to feed families), they hate anyone that thinks personal rights are trumped by their wishes to control.

Romney is the repub candidate, play all the games you want but unless god forbid santorum pulls some magic Romney is in. He will get stomped by obama but the repubs have rose colored glasses thinking they can beat him.

The only thing the repubs want is to be allowed to stomp into the ground freedom of choice, any tax responsibility for corporations that are busy sending jobs overseas. They want to have their noses stuck in every aspect of every American including what happens in the bedrooms.

The ONLY tolerance they have is when one of them gets caught playing with the congressional pages, their secretary or anyone else. Then they want tolerance when they prance in front of the cameras with their trophy wives and plead for tolerance and forgiveness. What a joke. I am hoping this is the death throws of the repubs. Maybe these banner holders of this particular group of morons will learn something. I doubt it tho.

And no the dems are not much better but at least they were able to elect a black president (albeit half black) and are willing to at least show SOME respect for the office of the president.

I completely agree that a large part of Mitt's chances of beating Obama will be what Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santoram say to their supporters when they concede the nomination to Romney.

A third party run or a large number of sulky ultra-cons staying home in November is the easiest way to lose the election for the Republicans.

Rho, you just better start preparing yourself for another 4 years of the current guy. It isnt looking too good for your side of the political isle...

Bah - its a long way out. Economic data, events in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Supreme Court rulings are all going to effect how this goes down.

The one thing I do find interesting though is the new brand of Republicon primary "candidate" who really is running to sell books and get hired by a media outlet. Huckabee and the half governor both did it and now people are seeing a nice career in being a failed candidate.

It is a long way out, certainly. I am just looking at the GOP field and frankly, i just dont see it happening. By the time the election rolls around, Obama is going to be in full swing and will have rallied all his supporters back to the cause. The GOP offerings are too bland and too establishment. Romney is going to get painted with the big money, Wall street brush and it is gonna hurt time bad. Especially with this current OWS vibe going around.





Yeah. I am not a fan of it myself. Just more abuse of the US political system, imo. Money, money, money. It is all about money anymore. Our country is continuing to circle the bowl on its way down and everything is still about money and personal gain.

I am so sick of the state of politics in the country it really dont follow it anymore and frankly dont care who wins. It is all the same. We are heading to our Blade Runner future...

This just in: it's *always* been about the money.

I know it has always been about the money, Rho. However, the money is getting bigger and bigger each cycle. So save the smart ass obvious comments for someone else please.

Romney is for zero capital gains taxes in the age of the "Buffet rule." I think he might have a chance if he wanted to hold that rate steady, including even wanting the republican mantra of making the Bush tax cuts permanent (which included a 20%->15% reduction in the capital gains rate plus the 10% low-end tax bracket), but I don't think a wallstreeter crying for FURTHER capital gains tax cuts in this environment is going to fly in the general.

One can see why he refuses to release his tax returns.

Romney is far from perfect. But I'll take him in a heartbeat over obama.
