OK, I admit it. I am getting a little depressed about the next election

[NNN0LHI]

I am not very good at math but:

President Obama + $1 Billion Dollars + Whack job for the GOP candidate = Landslide win for President Obama

It is that simple. And I like good hard fought close elections too. But the GOP is going to deny us of that with their sheer stupidity. They are actually going to nominate one of these assclowns as their candidate. Think about that.

Choose any possible candidate for president out there. I can think of a dozen hard hitting issues that would sink any one of them with in about five minutes. They are all rejects from somewhere. Not one of them dingbats is qualified to tie their own shoes much less be president of the free world.

This is going to be a boring election. At least we are going to win.

1. What's sadder is that $2 billion is spent on an election in a so-called democracy.

5. Cheer up it might be close...

There are a lot of stupid people out there. Some of them think the President has a huge affect on the economy ( he doesn't not even GW did, but he had a congress that was more than happy to screw the american public) so if the economy doesn't improve some might blame Obama. But, the sad fact is that Obama while he hasn't done a whole lot to turn it around kept us from a depression which is where we are still heading if one of those ass clowns gets elected. Anyway, where was I... oh yeah there are enough stupid people out there to make it a close race.

[Myrina]

15. Exactly. POTUS has no problem raising a billion from 'donors' ...

to run a slick media campaign but can't seem to get anyone to pay more in taxes to keep what's left of the middle and lower class from turning into a third world country.

21. Capitalism

Whatcha gonna do?

23. Jobs.

2. There's still a lot of time for the R's to reject these assclowns in favor of

an assclown who might have wider appeal - like a Jeb Bush. Not outside the realm of possibility. The fact that his dumbass brother made it close enough to steal tells me all I need to know about the stupidity of the American electorate. It could happen again.

[MannyGoldstein]

3. There was no way that Reagan could become President. He was a nut.

Then suddenly, he was President.

Don't count your chickens...

[Jackpine Radical]

16. Jeez, Manny.

You beat me out again.

[EFerrari]

4. That's what I said about Junior.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

7. Me too, and we got stuck with the asshole for 8 years.

Never underestimate the evilness of the Republican Party or the dumbness of the American people, that's what I learned from Election 2000 and 2004.

[teddy51]

6. My concern is that someone like a Jeb Bush will come in at the last minute.

I don't see these people electing one of these nut jobs.

[NNN0LHI]

10. His head is too large. It is like a Macy's Day Balloon

Big headed people can't be president.

Hope I don't offend any big headed folks around here.

Don

[EFerrari]

11. Big headed people do well on television.

I wouldn't count him out.

Don't mean to gainsay you, Don. I just wouldn't trust those assholes with their own mother.

[NNN0LHI]

13. That only works if everyone has a big honking 60-inch wide screen TV

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

17. LOL

[gateley]

8. Don't think it will be. I think the Republicans will become

rabid in their support of whomever gets the nod because they're DESPERATE to get that Black guy out of the White House. We ain't seen nothin' yet.

[Worship Money]

9. Don't get too excited

These cats are serious, and play the LONG game.

They are playing for 2016 already, and it's just an unexpected bonus for them if Creepy Mitt somehow wins next year.

[NNN0LHI]

12. I am sure they are sleeping soundly thinking about going up against the Clinton Machine in 2016

8 more years of a Democratic President.

:bounce:

14. Dont count anything. Alot of people are disgusted with the whole process.

They could simply stay home. So I wouldn't get to comfortable.

[AverageJoe90]

27. And thus playing right into the hands of the Republicans. n/t

[AndyTiedye]

18. Whatever Whack Job the Repigs Nominate Will Likely Have $5 or $10 Billion

Have you forgotten about "Citizens United"?
The Republicans get unlimited corporate money now.

And what makes you think Obama will actually be able to raise a billion dollars?
Can you afford to donate twice as much as you did in 2008? I'm sure I can't.

[WhiteTara]

19. Find a local candidate and campaign for her/him. Make it

more interesting and give President Obama the Congress he needs.

[Amonester]

26. THAT is the key.

No more block-everything power to the teaparty of NO.

[JI7]

20. there are many other elections also, plus there is no gaurantee we will win thePresidential election

it will take a lot of hard work.

hopefully there is some way Cain can win the nomination so we can win the presidential race easily and put focus on winning the house and senate and all the other state races.

[ellisonz]

22. Take back Congress. Speaker Pelosi. On Our Way to a Super-Majority in the Senate!

3 Branches of Government to Consider.

:silly:

[elleng]

24. WORSE, they STEAL, they're working hard at doing it NOW,

NO MATTER whom they run.

[TheKentuckian]

25. Maybe but the money is a non-factor if the money people don't want it to be a factor.

There can be an endless pile of shadow ca$h deployed from the blatant to soft messaging in TV shows, movies, and even commercials. The question is how much do they care. I think not so much, they'd prefer to not have to go through the motions but it does have the rather substantial benefit of helping the mass distraction tremendously.

[AverageJoe90]

28. Probably, but......

Sadly, if the election gets close enough, we might just see another incident in which Diebold or some other company mysteriously 'misplaces' or 'miscounts' a few votes here & there, and if we have enough of an incompetent Supreme Court in 2000, we could REALLY be in trouble.

And not to mention the fools who would stay home on Election Day(barring, of course, some kind of emergency or whatever.). That might be a problem as well.
