Why are the Republicans throwing the election to Obama? What is going to happen in 2013? 2014?

1. Oh fer fuck's sake

[demtenjeep]

2. more like 2016 they think we are spent

after that

[gateley]

11. I keep hearing that, and if that's the case, they will continue the

obstruction to ensure the economy still sucks until then. They frighten me.

[Cleita]

3. They are going to trot out Jeb Bush. Wait and see.

In the meantime, they are going to try everything to make Obama look bad and to obstruct him on everything.

[teddy51]

9. I totally agree, I think Jeb Bush will be running. n/t

[orpupilofnature57]

14. I thought that at first ,but it would be

seen at this late date as desperation ,especially because all they've done is make the president look like Einstein.

[laundry_queen]

24. I think it was meant in 2016

As in, they already KNOW the President will get re-elected, and that they are no match for him (or, if you are prone to wear this Barack Obama is as likely to do their bidding, so they are 'letting' him have a second term) so they will wait until 2016 when they won't have to run against an incumbant.

[orpupilofnature57]

28. I meant the taste of Shrubco

or Poppies nwo will begin to be exposed more and more for the reasons for our present and future misery,and Jeb doing his part ( Theft of Democracy ) in state of Florida 2000 will hinder him Too much to survive the facts.In 2016 , 2020 or the rest of his life.Most people consider K Street as part of the problem ,hopefully poltical chess & msm won't be enough to outweight the reality as 99% of us live.

[TheWraith]

27. If you mean for this year, no way.

If you mean for 2016, I doubt that too. The Bushes are finished.

[a la izquierda]

4. What on earth are you talking about?

[bluestateguy]

5. If Obama wins the 2014 midterms will be ugly

All those Senate Democrats elected in 2008. Yikes.

[elleng]

6. They have no control of their 'party,' different from the past.

If we're smart, we'll kick their a****, in '12, and '14, obtain some running room, and do it again in '16.

[LiberalArkie]

7. What I was asking is are we going to have another financial bust that they know about?

I never considered McCain/Palin a viable team, but as someone to just run for office and hope they don't win. The last thing wall street wanted was the Republican's getting the blame for what was to happen back in 2008.

[orpupilofnature57]

10. Intelligent people know it was Shrub & Kitten Eater

And thats why they CAN'T win and are hoping obstructionism will work for another 4 yrs.

[FarLeftFist]

23. No No, you're reading it all wrong. This is what the GOP does:

They sling mud from the sidelines and try to spread their message of hate, ignorance and fear, but when it's time to put up or shut up they can't think of a single idea or "solution". ALL they are is a hate group. They are anti-progressive regressives. They have zero ideas on how to govern, they just want power.

[socialist_n_TN]

26. Sure there'll be another financial bust..........

Booms and busts are part of capitalism. It's the way the system is set up.

[thelordofhell]

8. The media will make sure it's a close election

Gotta get those Citizen's United bucks!!

[orpupilofnature57]

12. The media would have made TrCHump their champion

instant sucsess with the 1% they need more than anybody.

[southernyankeebelle]

13. With Citizen's United it won't matter who wins. Corporations will be running the country. We need

to get use to it. Unless OWS and tea party unite and stop what is going on. It has to be a grass roots to do the job.

[orpupilofnature57]

16. Thats the key ,uniting the people

who seem diametrically opposed, to see their vast simularities.

[southernyankeebelle]

22. Your right.

[sibelian]

15. The elder gods will rise, I guess.

The tenth planet Nibiru will align itself with the Earth's organic energy poles and the whole world will be engulfed by harmonic resonances of death and destruction. The lizard people will finally crawl out from the hollowed out skins of the 1% and yadda yadda yadda...

[orpupilofnature57]

18. Pass that this way.

[sibelian]

20. OOOOO if I could PASS it THAT way...

f'nerk

[L. Coyote]

17. On which planet?

FCS, they are destroying the Congress and the economy to try to bring him down.

[HopeHoops]

19. They're dumping the trash from the clown car so they can fill it up with more trash.

[orpupilofnature57]

21. Their clown car ,we have to buy the gas

and pay to clean their trash.How about that punctuation though, hoops ?

[Yupster]

25. Who was the last president to have a good second term?

Generally what second terms are remembered for is scandals and disasters.

Nixon had Watergate.
Reagan had Iran-Contra
Clinton had Monica
Bush had banking collapse.
