The every 80ish year depression cycle will hit during the next four years and run for about a decade. QE1-3 have not restarted the economy, but have held off the cycle just a bit. If Obama wins again, he will be sitting in power during the collapse. That will kill a Democratic chance at the office for about 2 more elections. I still think both parties want to lose this election to keep from being in charge.

They would be like, "Kev, in one month you have to step into the octagon with Kimbo Slice for $1M!" and I'd be like... yeah, he doesn't really have a lot of "technique," but I must respect his Style. There are several strategies to defeat his style... this one best matches up with my own capabilities... so blah blah blah...

NOW... imagine that the Friday night before the fight, Kimbo gets drunk and crashes his car. He has a cracked skull, brain hemorrhaging, one good eye, two broken arms, one broken leg, and they shaved his beard to wire his jaw shut. BUT HE STILL HAS TO FIGHT...

Oh... and he's still hung over...

Mittens is the challenger that could lose that fight.

I don't think Obama believes you.

Rino? Does that mean Chris Christie?

Assuming he can make it to 2016

And this is basically the problem with our party. The tea party couldn't even win majority support within the republican party itself, otherwise Romney would never have won the nomination. If the right continues to harp on social issues, as the tea party constituency does, they'll harp their way to irrelevancy.

No... they are not strong at all... which is the point of the thread. It should be a complete and total no brainer.

Obama is the most vulnerable incumbent in history.

This ticket is so incredibly WEAK that they might not be able to pull it off!

Pew still has Romney up by 4%, while Rasmussen has them tied and Gallup has Romney up 2%.

Just one week ago Gallup had Obama up by 5%, Pew had Obama up by 2% and so did Rasmussen.

The momentum has definitely shifted since the debate.

If most of America is moderate, slightly left on social issues and slightly right on fiscal issues, then why dont the democrats put up a candidate like this too, instead of Obama who is a radical socialist?

Granted I was a Marine, not Army, but I don't think blindly supporting a particular political party is a requirement to wear a Ranger tab.

Obama isn't any kind of radical socialist.

Yes, he leans way too far left for my taste, and by American standards he's an extreme candidate, but he is not a radical socialist. Take a look at politics outside of the US sometime if you want to see true radical socialism.

I probably dont agree with much of anything KalashniKev says but in this case I do..

Im totally in for Romney so I dont care much about these threads.. Im voting for Romney no matter what.. And with that said I very much hope he wins..

However it is sad, because Obamas presidency honestly is riddled with crap. It is truly a failed presidency with little or nothing positive to run on...

Hard to believe it would be even close, but again I dont know if thats related to Romney or just political idealogues who would follow a democrat into the ocean.

I agree with that, but sadly there are a lot of simple minded people in this world.

If someone said the same thing about my Sapper tab I'd invite them over to try.

Cheap shot by anyone's standards.

Irrelevant they are not seeing that they were monumental in the GOP taking the House in 06. If Mittens wins and I think he very well could, the GOP can thank the TP for that too but of course they won't. Fiscal matters are the priority followed by foreign policy but I wouldn't nix social issues either.

Also, to answer the original question, the GOP should look into voter fraud if O wins.

Relax hero, I agree with him ...just a little sarcastic humor that didn't translate well over the Internet.

Dump the religious nuts and pick up more libertarian minded folks.
Gary Johnson is going to swing the vote because he is the only candidate that gives a **** about civil liberties and won't bury us in more debt with bull**** wars and reckless spending.
