I would love to see the best that each side has to offer win their nominations and have intelligent and thought provoking debate.


This is why the repubs are stupid because they are pushing someone they think can beat Obama rather than a candidate that bests represents what they want.

This is why the dems are retarded because even tho they strongly dislike much of what Obama has done they would rather stick with him for a win and not rock the boat instead of lifting up a new contender that can better carry the torch of vigor and new ideas, instead of selling out to Wallstreet as Obama has done.


You dumb as a rock guys are the bricks that form the foundation of the establishment. The mountain of stupid is built upon your backs.



Agree 100%.


However, knowing what you know about the system, would YOU want to go through what these assclowns are willing to go through?

Are people really upset that no one from the left went after Obama?






There is legitimacy to that claim and it is a complaint I have heard from the left. But almost everyone realizes that it means losing the election.


That said, I've never been able to deduce whether Moe wants to see someone run against Obama because he 'wants the best candidate' or it's just a lame, pious way of trying to get Obama out of the White House.



It is perfectly legitimate to put pressure on Obama from within his own party. It is flat out stupid to act like the party is somehow at fault for not throwing candidates at Obama and contesting him with a primary.


The fact is the left has lost what ground it had in part due to failures at the legislative level. The Dem party needs to do a lot more to sell their message to the people. It is like the entire team is sitting on their hands waiting for Obama to put the ball in the basket.

SoO you are intelligent mate, and you have acknowledge the pieces. Why not take the next step and put them together?

You can't recognize the Dems doing nil by saying this

And then excuse the party for not cleaning up their own with this
It is flat out stupid to act like the party is somehow at fault for not throwing candidates at Obama and contesting him with a primary.


Leaving the mess for the other party to clean up, along with giving them blame ammo, is the cycle that needs to be broken.

Money is a big concern here. It just isn't reasonable for a candidate to raise enough money to challenge the sitting President in his party and have enough funds left over to be able to run a viable general election campaign. Especially since the typical donor knows this as well; aside from a few ideological diehards, why would the donors give money to an almost guaranteed to lose campaign?

It doesn't help that the sitting President would have no reason to join in on any debates. Even if there was more than one serious contender willing to debate each other, would the networks even want to air them if the sitting President wasn't there?
