Welcome back President Obama.

It is too bad that Gov. Christie decided not to run for President. It was the only hope that the G.O.P. had and now they are left with???

You may be right. Romney is a possibility, but not likely to win. The GOP has qualified people out their, but when they come up with front runners like Perry, they cannot be take seriously. Oh well, maybe Obama will get more done in his second term.

Carrot Top could beat Obama with these scandals and the economy. Hope and Change will not work this time. He now has a record to run on. A terrible record.

You may be right. Lets hope that Romney is the GOP pick. If anyone of the group has a chance, it Mitt. I could vote for Romney.

[Guest]

Yes, the GOP Great Fat Hope decided not to run and it now looks like a sure thing that President Obama will get re-elected. I'm happy - and I am sure one of the great minds at the local watering hole is glad he did not take my bet a couple of weeks ago.

[Guest]

And their qualifications are so inferior to Obama's when he was a candidate?

He has established that one can run and win, at least once, with just making promises and telling folks what they want to hear. Hence the field is wide open with many who can talk and promise as well or better than he did.

The last three years sure are a testimony to promises kept....eh?

Cain/Paul or Paul/Cain

[Guest]

Neither Romney or Christie can won because they would cannot get the support of the Tea Party. Unless you agree with them 101 percent they will not let you be a candidate.

[Guest]

Mainstream American voters will not vote for Ron Paul no matter who he is the ticket with either as the presidential candidate or the vice-presidential candidate.

I do like Herman Cain. He has some excellent ideas - but he could never get them through Congress no matter which party is controlling Congress. Cain is an excellent businessman but that is not how Washington runs. He would be out of his element as President or VP.

Goodbye Republicans for another 4 years. The Tea Party has hurt the Republicans fatally. :a040:

Either one of those combinations would be a win for Obama.

it will not be the tea party that elected the next president. It will be the independence.

Romney has the experience in saving failing economic interests. It also saved the Olympics. He may not be as conservative as some tea partiers are right wingers like but, would you rather bite the bullet on social issues are half or more years of Barack Hussein Obama.

[Guest]

I can actually see a schism happening here. It looks as though the Republicans are going to run Romney and someone like him. The Tea Party will endorse an extremist ticket like Paul and Palin. The Democrats win even bigger than expected for at least 4 more years!!

Romney against hopey changey. No contest. We will finally get this bum out of the White House and also take the Senate. America will begin to heal and prosper again. It will take awhile to get going again after all the damage that Obama and company have instilled upon us, but America will prevail again.

It's amazing the fantastical scenarios and ludicrous assumptions being made on this thread. I cannot possibly stop laughing long enough to refute them. Besides, judging by what I'm reading, what would be the point.

Have a ball here is this funhouse thread. Let me know when you need clarity.

[Guest]

Cain/Rubio

Unbeatable, especially by Obama/Gaffe a minute Biden

[Guest]

Appears to be quite a bit of hyperbole being bounced about. Let's see these extremist Tea Party people are for reducing taxes and spending and returning to family values. They want Congress to abide by the U.S. Constitution. All of this is diametrically opposite what Republicans want. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Better than 70% of the population agree that Obama has taken the economy in the wrong direction.

Chris Christie showed both class and why he is going to be a great presidential candidate some day by stating "I am not yet ready for this office." Boy in this society of clamoring for and doing anything for instant fame Chrisite's statement show great intelligence and maturity. On the other hand what defines the classless were people like Dave Letterman who could not get pass Chris Christie's weight. shame on them for their banality.

You must be liberal. Had to bring something personal into the attack against Christie.

[Guest]

Just read Palin decided not to run......to no one's big surprise. Her star has fallen even though she still can command big bucks for speechs and appearances and speechs, etc, which is all she was ever interested in anyway. :cus:

You must be proud to fall into standard party rhetoric.:cus:

[Guest]

Checking back in and the libs still saying a whole lot of nuthin'..................carry on.

[Guest]

I Should have gave the process more credit, but when Bachmann and Perry were both front runners, I could only shake my conservative head in shame. Now with Romney in the cat bird seat, AS I SAID ALL ALONG HE SHOULD BE, I am now in the campaign mode. :MOJE_whot:

I'll drink to that!

[Guest]

There would not be enough ice-cole Yeungling in The Villages to make me vote for the combination of Cain and Rubio.

Yes we know that. Do you think it really matters?

[Guest]

Romney is a good businessman and would do well in managing us out of the economic crisis but then what.... I do not believe he would do well concerning foreign affairs nor do I like his positions on social issues. Hopefully he has the wisdom to surround himself with intelligent people to fill those gaps.

Havng said that I will throw my support behind anyone, short of an ax murder, that goes against Obama The Destroyer

Yes, coming from you that is indeed shocking...................not

[Guest]

Sort of looks as though the Republicans and Tea Partiers are going to have a split of their candidates.

Hey, a third party candidate of a Tea Partier does nothing else but to welcome President Obama into office with an even bigger margin. Thank you to Ricky Perry for the racism on your leased land and your minister for calling Mormons a "cult".

Thank-you Obama for the double scandal that will seal your defeat in November 2012.

Fast and Furious

Solyndra

Bye Bye Barack Hussein Obama:beer3::pepper2::pepper2::pepper2:

[Guest]

Solyndra won't stick.

Yeah, it's a black mark, but it's easy to discount when you consider how small a piece of the DoE budget it was AND the fact that in EVERY growing industry you WILL have SOME losers.

Fast and Furious? That's another matter. That could really do some damage - especially with Democrats historically being the party of ever increasing gun cuntrol.

You obviously are looking at these "scandals" from one perspective...mine is that Solyndra is one of deceit, manipulation and lying....THAT, and not the dollar amount is important.

:agree:

and add-djplong~Since when is $535million a small piece of anything?

and add-djplong~Since when is $535million a small piece of anything?

From: http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/solyndras-loan-guarantee-was-3.4-of-the-doe-solar-portfolio/


Since mid-2010, the DOE has made conditional commitments for 18 loan guarantees in solar to 14 different companies, funding for projects and funding for manufacturing. The total sum of these conditional commitments is $15.585 billion. Solyndra's loan guarantee was $535 million -- or 3.4 percent of the DOE's solar portfolio.

That number warrants repeating: 3.4 percent.

And Solyndra's $535 million is less than 2 percent of the total loan guarantee program.


Just for comparison, the load guarantee is the cost of a couple of days in Afghanistan and Iraq. (Estimates are well over a billion a week)

...and did you realize that Bush was pushing for the Solyndra load guarantee?

There's a lot of interesting reading on the subject - like how certain Republicans first complained that funds weren't being spent fast enough from the stimulus and then said they were being spent TOO fast on Solyndra.

[Guest]

I don't really care if it is less than 2%, more than 10%, or exactly 0.05%...Those are 535 million REAL dollars that came from the hard work of REAL people. That is a HUGE chunk of change down the drain!
