if Romney is the nominee he will vote for Obama. Wanna know why, well four more years of Obama will guarantee a true conservative in the next election. You wonder why I call these people crazies.

[dante1]

On second thought maybe this guy is correct. I too will vote for Obama if Romney wins.

[rkelly110]

Maybe we're on the verge of another flip flop. 'bama's acting like a Repub, Repub's are turning
down their own ideas. What's next, are the Repub's going to turn liberal just to be opposite
of 'bama?

[dante1]

In all my years of watching politics I have never seen the R party so confused, so inept and so hateful to their own. We are really watching an astonishing event the hatred and vile comments being tossed at each other is historical. This has happened before in politics but to see it happening by the R to each other is a very rare occurrence. They are sowing their own failure in this coming national election. After Romney is nominated tell me how Newt with a straight face can possibly say well okay--Mitt is a great guy and I support him unconditionally. What a joke that would be.

Obama and Clinton were at each others throats 4 years ago. Things are said in the heat of battle and when its all over, everyone understands why.

Dante, as is the case with the vast majority of democrats, you're far too liberal to accurately assess anything that is going on within the republican party.

I'm sure when you watch Fox News or read something that Rush Limbaugh has said about the democrats, you think to yourself, "nothing this clown says matters". This is EXACTLY how conservatives feel when they hear liberal democrats spout off about republicans.

If Romney becomes the nominee, Gingrich will support him against Obama and the same goes for Romney if Gingrich happens to win the nomination.

Andy this is different, every news broadcast mentions it. The hate is palpable and it goes beyond normal politics. George Will even mentioned it, so did Pat Buchanan no the desperation to win by the two front runners is turning them very vicious. Whether you think I am too liberal or not this R campaign is beyond the norm, very much beyond.

[rkelly110]

Though very entertaining, they are acting like children.

Newt has no reason to even be in the running with all his baggage. The only reason he
won SC was because he gave the guy asking questions hell at the debate. Repub's love
that.

Through the vast majority of this election season, Romney acted like a perfect gentleman and took all the insults levied at him in stride. He was the overwhelming favorite to win the nomination and knew it.

All of a sudden, the blitz of negative attack ads started to work for Gingrich and Romney lost his big lead and was forced to respond back in kind. Unfortunately, negative attack ads really work as people are stupid enough to believe all the crap contained in them.

While Gingrich is a very intelligent man and an incredible debator, I'm not proud of his behavior and I have the feeling all the trouble he has had in past relationships were due solely to him.

Obama is going to have tons of clips to use against Romney up until election day and he will need to do so as he can't run on his own accomplishments.

Andy talks in generalities and is almost always wrong. He makes false accusations and blanket statements. He is one very frustrated R.

Dante, the more you post, the more I realize that there just aren't any democrats out there with any intelligence whatsoever.

Obama has done incredible damage to this country:

1. His constant use of class warfare pitting the 99% against the 1% started the Occupy Wall Street movement and things are going to get worse.

2. He continues to talk about homeowners who are underwater on their home mortgage as VICTIMS and portrays the entities who hold their mortgages as CRIMINALS. Due to Obama and the democratic party, homeowners feel they are justified in NOT paying their mortgage even though they can. You see this happening across the country.

3. Obama and the democratic politicians passed a 2700 page health care legislation bill while making sure to exclude themselves and their precious labor unions from having to participate in it. They did this without a single republican party vote of support and against the majority of Americans who clearly opposed it.

Liberals like yourself are constantly HOPING for CHANGE which is why democrats like Obama choose to run on those slogans. Liberals can't compete with conservatives in a free society where the playing field is level because you lack the intelligence and the work ethic to do so. Its these reasons why liberal democrats want to turn the United States of America into a socialist nation and why all socialist nations eventually fail.

CONSERVATIVES JUST WANT THINGS TO REMAIN THE SAME.

If I didn't have young children, I wouldn't care nearly as much and an Obama victory would be better for me personally. However, I care about what happens to this country and the road that Obama wants to take is the WRONG one and I believe you know that to be true.

As far as R's being frustrated:
TradeHOUSE.DEM.2012 30.1 30.8
TradeHOUSE.REP.2012 69.1 71.9
TradeSENATE.DEM.2012 18.4 25.9
TradeSENATE.REP.2012 74.6 76.9

Golfrulz, your lengthy list in Post#9 clearly explains why our country's deficit has gone from $10 TRILLION to over $15 TRILLION under Obama's first 3 years. If you want a larger and more powerful federal government, then Obama is clearly your man.

However, I have the feeling you are FAR WORSE OFF now than you were 3 years ago.

[dante1]

Just a couple posts above a partial list of accomplishments but you ignore that. And I am the unintelligent one. Right!
