My big concern is not so much about the economy. The U.S. is resilient. It is about Romnoid ending Health Care Reform. There's no getting around that.
You're not so much concerned about the economy? This is why Obama will probably win, too many people like you have no comprehension of the severity of our economic problems. This should be the #1 issue because the health of the economy directly effects every aspect of our lives including health care. Like you said in another post, this country could not recover if unemployment stays above 8% for another 4 years. I didn't hear anything from Obama that would help PRIVATE employers who DO create the jobs and who provide all the revenue for government to spend.
If the economy is the number one issue with conservatives, why then is the Republican party spending so much time on social issues? Why do we hear so much about abortion and contraception, rather than how to fix the economy? Why has the Republican house spent more time on social engineering than re-engineering the economy? Social issues may well be what keeps Romney out of the White House......by embracing the hard right stance of no abortion for anyone for any reason, including rape, incest, and the life of the mother....many women who are conservatives will not vote for him. Same with the healthcare issue........we hear repeal and replace, but for women, especially mothers, the Republicans need to detail the replace before women will vote for someone who wants to repeal it.
Sometimes I think conservatives are their own worst enemy.......they seem to go out of their way to turn off the very voters they need to put them back in the White House.......sure the big issue is the economy, as it should be, yet they act like people would be willing to give up their rights just to have a job......I personally don't think Americans will.
Maybe I missed something, but it seems to me the the left has been putting issues like contraception on the front pages and say little if anything about the economic situation. The Rs know their strength is in highlighting the lack of economic progress and the left knows they must change the subject. You will never see it that way but I do.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Well we still have a few stupid idiot republicans bringing up social issues- like the idiot in Missouri. This election is not about social issues - it's about the fact that this country is near economic collapse. And if it's not right at the edge of collapse- we are very much in danger of what Clinton said- that all our tax dollars will soon will be gobbled up with interest payments on our massive debt. We are as good as toast when that happens, so there is a limited time to fix the problem.
The contraception fiasco with the slut from georgetown U was a set up - I believe. the democrats are playing dirty tricks to divert the national conservation away from their dismal record to frivolous issues. In any case- I think these dirty tricks will backfire- like the contraception issue and the kaos it caused with the catholic church. Obama is going to lose on that one.
And I personally think that republicans need to totally give up talking about - or doing anything about the abortion issue. Conservatives are losing votes because of this stupid issue- let the courts resolve this- it has no place in the political agenda.
We have bigger fish to fry- leave these social issues for a day when we have jobs again- houses again- leave it till we find better times.
It all boils down to the $$$. when peoples life styles and families $$$ is gone or reduced, they are going to focus on the economy as the main topic of an election.
Gee, Sandra Fluke was a "setup"? Aren't we all glad that Rushbo took the bait. He's lost how many advertisers because of his "stupidity" at taking the bait?
It's YOUR party... They're the ones that can't leave the social issues alone...
I guess that "laser-like focus on jobs" was just more bovine-scat for the media?
