Don't forget, hardcore evangelicals would NEVER vote for a member of cult, a member who donates millions and millions of dollars annually, no less. I think people are underestimating the stigma of Romney's Mormon faith.

There is no reason to hide such a comparison.
Refer to this chart...

$801 billion (Iraq) vs.$1.1 billion (Libya). Which one would a true fiscal conservative choose?

I got it: comparing Libya to Iraq, which makes the Libyan issue seem much more intelligent and successful by contrast, is bad, and we should stick to only issues that offer no approval of the current administration. Um, okay.

The November election will most certainly be a close one. This country is evenly divided and the presidency will most likely be decided by a small segment of voters in the center who have no alliegence to either party. The economy will play a role, and so will gas prices which COULD derail the Obama campaign and swing open the doors of 1600 to Mitt.
Still.....the trend for future Republican wins seems unlikely.
The nominating process in the GOP has managed to devolve into a slugfest filled with code, "certain neighborhoods" "lacking role models" "food stamp President", and lest we forget...Santorum's "blacks" quote which he changed to "blahhhs". With this nominating process, the GOP looks more like the party of George Wallace and Strom than Lincoln, which it would seem to me, will place blacks (African Americans for the PC crowd) more firmly than ever in the Democrat column.
They have done no better with the fastest growing segment of the American population, Hispanics. All of that demographic they can hope to hold is the Cubans, and they cling to the Republicans for one reason, an outdated Cuban policy.
They have lost environmentalists, with their constant drumb beat of deregulation, their denial of global warming, and a policy of domestic energy production at any cost.
Gays are firmly in the Dem's column and the heated rhetoric from the primary candidates regarding gay marriage assures they will not vote for a Republican, anytime soon, as public opinion swings away from the GOP position on gays.
A lot of college educated Americans must have to laugh at Republican rhetoric with their "world is flat and 6000 years old" idea. Scientists ??? what are they ?
Seniors who vote consistently in high numbers MUST be excited to place a person in the White House that supports an additional Medicare premium on them amounting to $6,000.00 a year, and ALL of the GOP candidates support the Ryan Budget passed out of the House.
Young college kids.....for them the Republican plans to trim Pell Grants and get govt out of the student loan business MUST be music to their ears.
Union members... the former Reagan Democrats... not a chance after a preview of the GOP ideas on unions in Wisconsin. Cont...

Yer right. Why don't we just do away with the election entirely? And while we're at it, we can throw out that outdated Constitution – no one pays any attention to it anyway.
Bill of Rights? Out with the Constitution. Maybe we can make a new one. We’ll take Ginsburg’s suggestion and use the one from South Africa. They’re much smarter than us anyway.
But why stop there? Maybe I’ll close my business, and go on Welfare & food stamps. They’re gonna take the money anyway, so why work?
As a matter of fact, why get out of bed in the AM?
Yup. You have the right idea. Give up on everything.

"The Obama administration is the major force in U.S politics opposed to war with Iran, it's defeat in November would increase, to near certitude the probability of a U.S. war with Iran in 2013.
Yet if the Pentagon and U.S. intellegence community are c1185723orrect--Iran does not have a bomb and has not decided to build a bomb--why should we go to war with Iran ?
Answer: Iran represents an "existential threat" to Israel.
BUT, Israel has 200 atomic bombs and three ways to deliver them, while Iran has never built, tested or weaponized a nuclear device. Who is the existential threat to whom here ?"
That quote is from a column written by Patrick Buchanan, and carried last week by the local paper.
There have been more than a few times when this "liberal" has agreed with Buchanan, the "conservative" and this is another one of those times.
