:roll: Born in Kenya. Muslim Terrorist. Marxist Communist. 6 years in office and no evidence of any of that retarded nonsense. WAKE UP TO REALITY! It's not fun or exotic in the real world but most of us live here.

I thought the point of Debate Politics was to debate politics. Why do we have to go around all provey provey like this is some courtroom or something? Nobody is on trial. People are encouraged to post their opinions even without making a fancy flow chart that would still be rejected. Proving something with a chart doesn't necessarily mean it will be accepted by the opponent.

And what does that tell you about the US electorate? Do you think they made the smart choice?

Nobody is required to make a smart choice. Citizens can vote for whoever they want to for whatever reason they want to. The losing side has to suck it up and deal with it.

Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton will be a tad younger than Reagan when he took office if they become president in 2016.

THat's only because the Bible advocates stoning over beheadings as an appropriate method of punishment.

If that is the case, that is really really sad that all the GOP can come up with is him and that the best the Dems can come up with is Hillary. I weep for the future.

When you compare Mitt against Obama, hands down Mitt would have done a better job, that is now showing in the poles. Now Mitt against Benganzie do nothing, know nothing, thought it was all because of a video, Hillery. I give Mitt another hands down winner.

Yeah, Fox News and its pols predicted Mittens would win that election in '12 too. Funny how that ended. :lol:
 
Actually Chris Christie did America a huge favor. Remember how everyone wanted Chris to run...then they had to settle for Mitt. With Chris not running and Mitt losing, makes Mitt ineligible[as seen by the GOP money people] for another run. Money is never gonna back a loser.
 
Not hoping Mittens runs again. I would love to see the GOP turn an even harder right and give it to Rand Paul. Lots of people today were not even around in 1964 to see what happens when the GOP goes hard right and its about time to learn that lesson refresh some memories.

I never wanted Christie to run for POTUS in 2012. Who is this "everyone" you speak of?
 
Mitt Romney is a fine man and would have been an excellent President. A loss for the country. He is/was perhaps the most qualified person in my lifetime to put himself forward for the nomination of either party. Unfortunately, while fighting for the Republican nomination he and his campaign sat by idly while Obama and the Democrats, with their media enablers, created a totally false identity of the man which he was unable to shake.

That said, Romney's time has passed and it would be foolish for him to spend time and money running a third time. Perhaps, in a Jeb Bush administration, there will be a senior secretary role for Romney if he still wishes to serve his country even more than he already has.

The GOP bias was strong that year. Nate Silver nailed it though---he picked every state correctly.

Romney was more of a waffler than Kerry. In fact, Romney was the GOP's very own John Kerry.
 
Grant said:
And you'd prefer a real winner like Barrack Hussein Obama, huh?

Yea Obama won 2 national Presidential elections with comfortable ease, so yes that would qualify him as a winner!!
And i may add he did it without help from the supreme court , unlike drunk Bush...

When it comes to waffling, Romney set a new standard.

In the north or south? I wasn't aware they were too involved in American politics.

How can polls determine what Romney would have done in office....they are nothing but opinions about something that didnt happen...fantasy.
 
Romney was basically a liberal. So it was funny to see self proclaimed "real conservatives" support him.

He would be better than Cruz/Rand Paul though.

If Romney really were a liberal, then he'd be the best candidate they have.

He was the best (or rather least terrible) candidate they had last time.

That's right. And yet, Romney still lost. He lost because most of the Democrats and Centrists were too dumb to see the superior candidate.
