2012 Elections - Your predictions

Only a fool would make predictions 3 years out.

Jeb Bush

As a conservative Republican, let me just say, in response to this:

AAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more Bushes! Please, for the love of Reagan, no more Bushes!!!

 

[Darth Rotor]

No more Bushes!

Why do you hate Sarah Palin?

OK, I get a two minute minor for that off color joke.

skates off

 

[Wolrab]

Oh, Sarah. I thought they meant Michael.

They did mean Michael!

Worse than what I would expect from Lefty Sarge; at least he doesn't add racism to his sexist comments. For shame!

Imagine if Charlie Gibson had tried to intimate Ronald Reagan. Imagine if Katie Couric had tried to embarrass Margaret Thatcher.

You either have the talent or you don't. Sarah Palin doesn't have it. She has no business in politics. I hate to see people stick up for her just because of her political affiliation.

You know quite well that I was not objecting to the "untalented" part. It was the "whore" part that drew my ire. That's the part that's sexist.

heh heh heh... yeah, that's in bad taste...



still funny, even if only in part because it was you that said it... wouldn't have been nearly so funny if, say, arthwollipot had posted it... off-color works best when it's a surprise.
And actually, much to the chagrin of most of the forum members, I LOVE Sarah Palin...

You're kidding, right? Prediction threads are so much fun when posters pull stuff out of their nether regions just to pull other people's chains.

For a prediction thread three years in the future I think everyone is pulling stuff out of their nether regions (granted, some of it is worth more than others). But anyway, it wouldn't shock me if Jeb runs for the nomination in '12or '16 and does well, perhaps wins it.

What's your prediction?

 

[Policenaut]

If Jeb wasn't cursed with that last name he would have had a good chance in 2008 if he was running. Certainly better than McCain had. I don't discount him in the future but maybe farther out than 2016.

Only a fool would make predictions 3 years out.

Only a fool would try to gauge his country's collective conciousness? The predictions have been fruitful considering there's been some agreement on the future zeitgeist. The country is leaning to the left. How far it will go has yet to be determined. The days of "trickle down economics" are long gone.

 

[Davidlpf]

If that happens, I'll truly regret Billary didn't win in 2008.

The reason is sheer comedy value:
Bush, Clinton (2x), Bush (2x), Clinton, Bush ...

McHrozni

Go figure Clinton between to bushes.

3 years from now? Yes, a fool.

The predictions have been fruitful considering there's been some agreement on the future zeitgeist.

Fruitful? Where? On this site, the left agreeing with the left does not confirm anything.

The country is leaning to the left. How far it will go has yet to be determined

Keep telling yourself that..

The days of "trickle down economics" are long gone.

I know. What a pity. Look what we have now. How high is unemployment in your state? How much money did your bank get? Oh, wait I guess I should ask if you live in the US. A lot of people on this site don't, but like to play like they are.


You can take the zeitgeist and put it where the sun don't shine. It has little to do with the outcome of elections.Less than 8 months before Obama got the nomination, Hillary was a shoe in. What happened?? Oops.
Can you tell me what the economy will be doing in 3 years? If you can please tell us. We could all us a good investment strategy.

The most important thing to swing an election......."It's the economy, stupid."*

That is a false statement. She was capable enough in politics to become governor of her home state. She most certainly does have business in politics, but maybe she hit her Peter Principle limit is Alaska.

Was she ready for prime time, national level politics? Not for my money.

So your advice 8 months before the nomination would've been for people to shut up because they would be fools to predict a win for Hillary or anyone else?

I just want to see her having a nice wolf roast on the white house lawn.

Is that like a celebrity roast? Naomi Wolf, made fun of. I like where this is headed.

 

[hgc]

Jeb Bush will beat Obama in '12, Senate will flip to GOP, house will stay dem.

I'll make a prediction about 2012 and every election up through 2112: No one named "Bush" will win.

 

[Darth Rotor]

But in 2112, it will be the year of Rush, and all shall celebrate at the temple of Syrinx.

Just you wait until Kate and Reggie declare!

Well it was more a reference to her incoherent speach on leaving office. She defended hunting wolves from helicopters by pointing out that they eat what they hunt. So she clearly is in favor of the eating of wolves.
