Oh, I understand how desperate people want everyone to forget the nightmare of Bush. The deficits, Katrina, lousy job market, lousy stock market. So, you engage in ad hominem. Nice.

But, there is a problem, how will Romney be different than Bush? If he won't then we can expect the same nightmare.
 
Not sure whether Romney remembers or forgets. On George W. Bush's Tax-Cuts

Business Insider said:
source FLIP: “[R]omney spoke at the 10th annual legislative conference organized by U.S. Rep. Martin T. Meehan (D-Lowell) and met with the Massachusetts delegation. ... Congressional sources said that a point of contention arose when Romney refused to take a position on Bush’s massive, 10-year tax cut plan.” (Noelle Straub, “Romney Talks Policy With Bush Staffers, Mass. Delegation,” Boston Herald, 4/11/03)


FLOP: "McCain opposed President Bush’s tax cuts, Romney noted. ‘I supported them,’ the former governor said.” (Lee Bandy, “Romney Targeting McCain,” The State [SC], 2/4/07)

Yes, we should all be asking ourselves this very question, especially in light of the fact that a would-be president Romney would also likely be working with a Congress controlled by the Republicans (but now with a strong dose of the Tea Party!)

Food for thought, folks.

Bush really was the worst President of modern times, and most probably the worst in US History. And there was some real competition.

And actually, I cannot see Romney as being anything other than Bush Lite. Perhaps not as likely to start a disastrously managed and un-needed war. Perhaps not as likely to address the American people while obviously in his cups.
 
Looks like opposing gay rights hasn't worked out so well for Romney. He got a dead cat bounce for a few days, but now that is gone and people know him to be a bigot.

I think that there is significant room for organizing within the GBLT (GLBT? I never know the right order, though the poor trannies are always last) community.

ETA: In the OP topic, Rasmussen Obama +1 - given that they have a several point Red bias, the Reds are not doing well at all.

It's part of Obama's strategy to get re-elected before he takes away everyone's guns.

source A top official with the National Rifle Association said Friday that President Obama will move to "destroy" gun rights and "erase" the Second Amendment if he is re-elected in November.

While delivering one of the liveliest and best-received speeches at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said the president's low-key approach to gun rights during his first term was "a "conspiracy to ensure re-election by lulling gun owners to sleep."

Funny, since one of the first things Obama did was sign the Credit Card Reform Act, which had a rider on it that makes it legal to carry firearms in National Parks, which had been illegal since...Reagan.

Since you posted that, things have changed. Obama now needs to win 27 of the 125 toss-up votes, while Romney needs 100.

It's still a steeply uphill climb for Romney.

For Romney to win, he needs to win about 80% of the toss-up electoral votes. If he were able to do that, I suspect his numbers in national pools would show him polling pretty far ahead.

I suppose polls in these toss-up states would be more telling.

FWIW, McCain won Missouri by a razor thin margin. I think Obama could well win it. (If it's nasty weather on Election Day, I think Obama will take Missouri. And I'm not sure all those erstwhile Santorum supporters will turn out to vote for Romney even if the weather is nice.)

My god it can't get more idiotic.

I am gun owner and I recall before the 08 election my gun friends were organizing ammo buys on fb. Setting up events where they would all go to a different walmart once a month and buy ammo. Then when prices went up they all pointed and said, "See! He isn't even president yet and he raised the prices!!!"

I can assume I am probably in for more of the same this year. This gives me an excellent idea to troll my friends! Bwahahahaha!

So now is the time to buy stocks of ammo manufacturers?

I think you are missing the logic of the argument. Take for instance the fact that Obama has not yet acted to outlaw capitalism. Doesn't that raise all kinds of red flags? You gotta know that this closet radical socialist wants to take away our god given rights to sell transformer action figures. His inaction speaks volumes. And let me point out that he has yet to take a position on drowning puppies. The guy makes me so sick.

Actually, I'd think it doesn't raise any red flags, which is kinda the point. :D

Well, you are looking at this from a rational perspective. The world isn't rational my friend. The barbarians are at the gate and Obama is going to let them in. He will then apologize that it took so long. Your mockery and laughter is like Nero fiddling while Rome burned. Wake up and smell the socialist coffee.

Mixed metaphors. Damn rules.
