Ya. Like LJ, Dog and Huffington Post keep saying. This thing is over. Obama has won it....there's no need to even go to the polls in November to vote. It's a landslide. rofllol :lol:

My only hope is all the lefties and left leaning "undecideds" keep sipping that Koolaid until say, oh, 8 November.

I am sure we are going to start hearing yet again, that RMoney was not a conservative, he was a RINO, that if a true conservative ran, he would win, yada yada yada.

I mean even Clint is now calling Romney dumb.

Boy, if they could just get all those RINOs out of the GOTP.... (Then they wouldn't have a party....They'd just have a collection of angry, old, white guys, who would get together every four years to bemoan what "might have been.")

I recognize that Romney might be able to tighten the race up with all of the billions in mexican mafia drug money backing him up, but at some point, even the right wingers have to realize that you need a candidate that you can be for, not just a candidate that you are against.

RMoney just has no message that appeals to the American public.

Like John Kerry? rofllol He was pretty easy to run against.

Mitt Romney, the John Kerry of the Republican Party, a rich guy with no charisma.

That is probably a fair comparison.

The republic cannot survive so much dependency

Commentary: What the 47% who rely on government must know


http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-re ... 2012-09-18

Gov. Mitt Romney’s comments about the percentage of Americans who have grown economically dependent on the government for their sustenance, and as a result, see little benefit in changing course, is neither new nor outrageous.

More than 170 years ago, the French political thinker and writer, Alexis de Tocqueville saw this coming, and warned of its dangers in his most famous writing, Democracy in America. Here is an excerpt below:

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”

Our public treasury cannot sustain further “largesse.” Our national debt has ballooned to more than $16 trillion. The top 25 percent of wage earners contribute 87 percent of all tax revenue and it is numerically impossible to tax them sufficiently to pay for this expansion of federal government – let alone pay down our debt.

This November, Americans will not simply be choosing one man or another as president, they will be choosing the future direction of these United States of America.

The question is not whether one candidate is nicer or more likable or even easier to relate to. The fundamental question all Americans must ask themselves is what kind of a nation shall we be? And what does it mean to be an American?


Representative West is right on target. The left is making a villian of Mr. Romney because he dares to tell the truth. It's amazing that Alexis de Tocqueville called it so many years ago. It's already happening in California and soon it may happen nationwide.


Good article, too bad most won't read it or understand the message or the numbers. Its exactly right.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

Still waiting to hear where the numbers came from, particularly the 47% who depend upon the government.

It's not "new" or "outrageous" to the right-wing, who keep peddling that Randroid nonsense of "makers vs. takers"... However, it is still a lie.

Nothing new here, follks...Move along...
