You know what I don't get?

[CatWoman]

from the moment Obama placed his hands on that bible, the GOP has relentlessly attacked him.

every. single. fucking. day.

according to them, Obama couldn't do a damn thing right.

And when given the chance to go against him, this is the best they have???? This is it?????

Are they fucking kidding me?????

[Coexist]

1. I consider it a blessing

[Vadem]

2. I agree with you, Cat!!! what in the hell do they want? I love our

President and I support him to the nth degree and even more so!!!

[madaboutharry]

3. Catwoman, sadly they aren't kidding you.

They are serious. The are seriously fucked up.

[CatWoman]

6. and every time one of them says "Obama doesn't understand America"

I have to scoop my brains up off the floor.

As if "they" understand???

What a bunch of lying, inept fucking IDIOTS!!

[Terra Alta]

4. Republicans will attack Obama no matter what

He could cure cancer and single handedly bring an end to world poverty and the GOP would still be complaining, they just can't be happy.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. They would complain about him putting oncologists out of work

and making formerly poor people uppity.

[AsahinaKimi]

5. Just a guess...

They blame him for being President while being black. A lot of racism in that Republican party, even if its not spoken out loud.

[madrchsod]

7. they are children and they speak as children.....

they haven`t put away their childish things...

as someone who remembers when the republicans had great leadership. they were concerned about america enough to work with the democrats to solve our country`s problems. i wonder if this country will ever regain it`s balance.

[freshwest]

14. Got it.

[coalition_unwilling]

18. I remember when statesmen Republicans forced a President from their own party

to resign for having committed 'high crimes and misdemeanors.'

The real debate and contest this election should have been between Obama and Bernie Sanders, imho.

[lonestarnot]

8. Did you see the pan of the pug convention?

[Glitterati]

9. It's simple really

Beating an incumbent is nearly impossible, and beating Obama is doubly so.

But the bottom line is that the Republican party is done with Mitt Rmoney. They knew they would lose this election, and they chose Mitt to get him out of contention in 2016.

[Vietnameravet]

12. agree

I said before and I still say..the real showdown will be in four years..Obama had damn well get tough with congress and DEMAND his way because there will not be any excuses for a bad economy then..

[KansDem]

31. Mitt Romney is the "Bob Dole" of 2012

In 1996, Bill Clinton was hard to defeat so all the "viable" GOP candidates laid low for 2000.

They sacrificed Bob Dole...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

10. From the party that previously brought you this profound statement on foreign policy

[Vietnameravet]

11. Jesus

If the heavens opened up and a voice said, "Obama is a good man" these assholes would say, No he's not!"
I just think about the song Eve of Destruction when the words say, "Think of all the hate there is in REd China, now take a look around at Selma, Alabama..."
I think there is more hate today in the US than there is in Red China

[dkf]

13. You ever say anything positive about George Bush?

I didn't.

Pure animosity for the other side is par for the course.

[CatWoman]

16. the difference is that we told the TRUTH about Bush

not a bunch of made up crap pulled from our asses.

And I don't recall a bunch of Democrats loudly and gleefully proclaiming their number one goal was to deny Bush a second term.

[dkf]

17. Oh I remember the speculation that Bush had some connection to Bin Laden.

I mentioned it to a friend and he flipped and called me crazy. He was really really pissed.

[CatWoman]

21. are you saying "we" made that up?

[dkf]

25. I'm just saying there is always speculation about the other side.

They do it, we do it. If you look on this site I'm sure you will find at least one bit of pretty outlandish bit of speculation about Romney.

Heck even Harry Reid is doing it nowadays, unless you think it's the truth that Romney paid absolutely zero federal income taxes for each of the last 10 years.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

30. It's just the usual trolling. You're probably better off ignoring her. nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

32. Another bullshit attempt on your part. Find me examples of Democratic lawmakers treating Mr

Bush the same way these clowns on the House and Senate have treated Barack Obama. A bunch of people posting on a message board comes nowhere near some of the most powerful people in the country behaving like a bunch of deranged lunatics. Hell I don't even remember any "mainstream media" clowns calling Bush a dick. Even when he might have deserved it.

[HangOnKids]

33. ^^^^^THIS^^^^^

Thank you!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

34. ***crickets***

[jimlup]

15. Ass clowns driving the clown car...

They truly are...

[coalition_unwilling]

19. Not only did they relentlessly attack him (your words), they actively conspired to

place the good of their party ahead of the national interest right from Inauguration Day.

IMO, Huntsman was the only remotely credible challenger and I half expected him to switch parties after the primary debates had concluded

They deserve be no no better than a rump party, commanding no more than 10-15% of the vote. The real debate going forward should be between Obama and Bernie Sanders, imho.

[Raine]

20. No they aren't kidding THAT is the best they have. nt

[barbtries]

23. it is the best they have.

witness a dying party.

[cbdo2007]

24. Should make 2016 easy to win.

If they can't beat someone they've called a black, muslim, terrorist we can pretty much run anybody we want and we should easily win.

[get the red out]

26. They've deteriorated into a party of nuts and greed

They basically just oppose anything that would help citizens and are in favor of only things that would exclusively help the rich and the big corporations; add to that pandering to extremist religion. When looking at that criteria from which they had to choose a candidate, yes, Romney is the best they had.

[Zen Democrat]

27. You're so right. They spend 4 years trashing and slandering Obama, then have NOTHING!

What a bankrupt party! Instead of the GOP they've now become the RIP.

[reformist2]

28. They don't have good candidates because they don't allow for any real thought or reflection.

Since they discourage any new thinking, any candidate who runs almost by definition has to dumb themselves down to the lowest common denominator - government bad, rich people and tax cuts good, Obama a commie muslim.

[graham4anything]

29. Obama has done about 90% of what he said he would do when elected

which is far more good stuff than just about any president since LBJ and the 2nd term-3rd term of FDR

that the rest of the democrats took til the 12 convention to start telling people all the good that has been done is the odd part

and when you say the republicans, keep in mind you have crazy ones, and you have ones coordinating for the 16 race, who do not want Mitt to win, becuase if he wins, they can't have Jeb (who had major news yesterday himself saying a book shall come out in late 13 or early 14 and in it will discuss in detail immigration, knowing they need the voters in that demographic that the repubs have so far conceded to the Dems) run against Hillary in 16.

as for Bernie Sanders, well, like Kucinich, they talk a good game and when the votes are needed, vote for Obama and in the privacy of their voting booth, vote for the democrats on the ticket.

It is in the interest of say, Jeb, to make the other repubs look as out of here and crazy as possible, so Jeb can say he is the sane republican, and they will flock to him in 2016, regardless of his name. (Our job is to see he is not anywhere near elected.)

Remember, 7/10 of everything you hear from repubs is just part of the show.
And great politicians play 4-9 steps ahead on their 3d chess board.
(Obama just plays better than them.)

and you will see that the repubs will start coming together out of neccesity as people don't want obstructionists on the repub side(which is why I think so many repub incumbents who have a serious challanger will lose in 2012, and especially in 2014
(Chris Christie for instance, if he was foolish enough to run for reelection will not beat Cory Booker).

The recent repub. rule changes that happened before the repub convention for rules for election 2016 all benefited Jeb (under the guise of being for the good of the party).

just watch.

And be thankful Obama had it so easy to get reelected. (Yes I am talking like it is a sure thing).It is up to Hillary to make sure she secures victory at any and all cost in 16 and 20.
