    There might be some hope for the republican party to redeem its self.

    Why Obama

    The Republican party isn't what it used to be. Our leaders and our most vocal activists have written moderates out of the party and have refused to work with the other side, to the detriment of the nation. Center-right presidents such as Reagan, Bush Sr., Ford, Nixon and Eisenhower would have no chance being nominated today.

    Unfortunately, Mitt Romney has not proven to be able to stand up to our party's most extreme elements. Instead, he has fallen for the "one-size-fits-all" mentality that tax cuts for the already-wealthy will solve all of our problems, and has no workable plans to solve the challenges we face.

    President Obama has shown himself to be a common-sense centrist. He has cut taxes when necessary, has taken steps to protect the environment, and has aggressively pursued Islamic extremists who threaten America. Most notably, he has reformed our healthcare system by signing a Republican-inspired healthcare plan into law. In most other points in our party's history, Obama would fit in well as a Republican.

    Methinks you're expecting others to share your "Armageddon is coming!" mind-set, when most people still want their cake and eat it, too, whether it's the upper-class or middle-class.

    Verily, thou doth think too much.

    We're going into that iceberg and there will be survivors and casualties, so arguing over who gets to steer the Titanic is kind of a moot point

    Who is it that has the Armageddon mind-set again?

    I'm sure it's incredibly rare when it happens, but apparently you cannot recognize when someone is agreeing with you, LOL! Maybe it was too much fancy use of language, so I'll just say it in a manner that should be easy to comprehend.

    I agree that America is heading into a long-term cyclic decline, but most voters don't see it coming (like you and I do) out of their self-interested narcissism. Hence they are not cynical of the prognosis (as they might be if they were aware of the dire straights), hence they are likely to respond to an alarmist Chicken Little message with REMs apathetic, "Why should I worry? I feel fine!"

    Anyone know how many wives Obama's great-grandfather Obama Opiyo and grandfather Hussein Onyango had? Just curious.

    No. Irrelevant.

    No matter what the number is, it is off topic to this thread, which is about the dung pile of a failed Romney campaign that is entertaining us.

    After calling half the country 'victims' over our Taxes, and after demanding that Paul Ryan show 10 years of Tax Returns in order to vet him for Vice President- Mitt still refuses to show 10 years of his Tax Returns....he just wants us 'victims' to Trust him......

    Personally, I don't think Mittens can engineer his own intervention. C'mon. He is clueless. The man cannot stop smirking. People don't like that. Well, this people don't like it.
